Hey guys,
I need some help. I downloaded Ubuntu 11.10 because I heard 12.04 is not as good and I need some help with the installation. I want to keep Windows 7 on my PC as well as boot Ubuntu.
So I just need to figure out how to set it up so it gives me a prompt as to which OS I want to boot...Virtualize simply. haha
Also I am not very familiar with Linux' file system so I also may need some assistance in installing the SDK, JDK, ect.
I thought you said you were a dev over in the Epic sub forums. If you were a dev, Linux and bootloader installs should be second nature.

You can use the wubi installer that should be on the ubuntu DVD ISO that you downloaded.

The Ubuntu installer should handle all that. Since you already have windows you just need to shrink the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu and install Ubuntu to the free space. Once installed Ubuntu uses the grub bootloader which will give you the option of which system to boot into everytime you start up the computer.
As far as commands and installing stuff goes you may as well start reading up on it. You'll need to know how to use the Terminal to develop in Linux. Its not complicated once you learn common commands, etc. Also, I recommend using Gnome classic or kde as your desktop environment if you want something that looks similar to Windows. I'm a KDE person myself.

1º Windows
2º Ubuntu!
I'm building on12.04 with zero problems...just my $0.02. And like the other's said just install Ubuntu takes care of all that stuff.
Oh and ALWAYS create a backup before you start installing new OS's!
I wanna dual boot though and I prefer Ubuntu 11.10 lol

When I get on a computer I'll write up how I got my laptop to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I've actually got it triple booting Mac OSX as well.

to setup a dual boot system, u only need a free partition to install linux. a very basic linux installation u have to create root partition and swap partition. u can find installation guide online, its not that hard to setup a dual boot between linux and windows.
Okay cool. Because id like to get into Rom development,etc so I need Ubuntu or Mac OS X. Not too sure which ones better though. I assume Ubuntu is because its Linux and that's Android runs on

Hi,
is it possible to install Ubuntu on the Tablet S?
We are able now, to make custom roms, to get the dual boot or how its called.
So is it possible?
Kind of. The chroot method should work by all accounts. This will allow you to run Ubuntu within Android and should work, but will be quite slow. Running Ubuntu natively on the tablet is, however, not possible without 1) an unlocked bootloader and 2) a hell of a lot of work with low-level drivers and bootloaders.
does leak version "ubuntu for andriod" works on tablet s?
any body test?
I manged it using Complete Linux Installer from Android Market
Iǘe managed to set up a debian system iimage on the s3. However i would like to make a desision on booting android or debian is that possible. Eg. I hope to be able to run debian witout having to boot uop android.
So i really am looking for a way to get linux possibly debian or ubuntu to get working on my android. tried linux deploy , complete linux installer, gnuroot...no luck. Please helo if you can
Device: xaomi mi4, android 6.0.1 cyanogenmod
Sorry for the necro, but gnuroot debian on the playstore should work! Remember it only installs the backbone of linux via a P-root (like chroot). You would need to install and set-up all dependencies you need to run applications by yourself though! I had no issues running octave (even in gui) and blender. I still have more to learn about bash. Anything that can run on arm64 (if your soc has an instruction set of armv7+). Also since you are rooted, you should be able to get even kernal installed easily, but it will take some time, patience and work!!
I'm looking for a way to install arch Linux NATIVELY on the touchpad, I tried with kexec and the images available for it and it's all broken, it won't even complete the installation, I also tried this install guide with this image because the install guide uses images that are no longer available to download, but also no luck, there is also this post but the guy said it's really old and the txt file that is in his archive keeps repeating that it's "hacky".
So I really need a nice and modern approach, I know a lot about Linux, just not about porting so if someone wants to try and make a new port and a new installation method I could try to help.
We should really try to do this because it would bring a new life to the TP, imagine running i3-gaps on this beautiful piece of hardware.
Hope you guys can help me and before I post this I gotta say: "Btw, I use Arch".

That will require a new Kernel and drivers for WiFI, Sound, Touch Screen and any other hardware.

The only way that I know that is reliable and works using the lastes Ubuntu, Debian or Arch in a chroot environment.
Click HERE for how to How to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionix Beaver, armhf on the HP Touchpad Desktop Environment XFCE and LXDE on a partition as chroot.

I mean, that would work, but would require Android and wouldn't be native, I want to have arch and webos, both running native.

The kernel is what makes the OS works by providing support for the hardware. WebOS Kernel is OLD and not supported by any current Linux, even LuneOS use the Android Kernel.
Android can be install and keep WebOS, it was a great OS but not nothing current will run on it.
Using the method posted, the most up to date and current Linux distribution of Arch, Debian, Ubuntu and more can all be install on the same Tablet running Android and use any Linux flavor without rebooting.
Android provides a very stable newer kernel that will share the resources with any listed Linux flavors and those built are native arm, runs super fast. If you want it to have all that done natively and not using Android, then the Kernel must be modified and all the "private drivers" ported to the most current version of Linux. The OS can not be updated as Linux will modify the Kernel, breaking everything. But everything is possible, is up to the user how much time and dedication plus the knowledge required to make it work.

I don't mind running old kernel/package versions, I am actually trying to run the old projects but most have the Images down and unavailable and the ones that don't just straight won't work.

I never installed any native Linux Os on the Tablet. The Ubuntu Touch was promising but never took off. The system must be stable for anything to be use otherwise is just experimental as most of those builds were. Running Linux in a Chroot environment is somewhat, not the same, as a Linux guest virtual machine and Android as a host.
That is the only way I know of, that is stable and current.
Ok so right now I have two more options available to try but they are probably not gonna work, in that case I'll start to look about making my own port of ArchLinuxARM

I did search for a working native linux OS for the Tablet, but did not found any.
It can surely be done, take a look at this video and the source at GitHub.

The Tablet uses LVM and can easily be partition in any way. It can also boot directly into Linux. The only thing to do is rename the file in /boot uImage.moboot to the Linux uImage ( example ) uImage.ArchLinux.
If any help, let me know.
Have fun!
I'm making some progress

Congratulations !
You did it ! once it boots is all it matters.
This is an idea, a chroot Arch can be built inside Android
A partition can be created in LVM Arch_Linux ( any size )
Inside Android with the App I posted, create the Chroot Arch Linux ( up to date )
Then modify the Ramdisk to direct at the partition Arch_Linux ( same it was use in the Chroot )
Then it should boot up ( some other changes will need to happen I guess)
Arch armv7l as chroot in Android 8.1 with HpTp_MAX
Testing the new kernel settings in Android and installed the latest version of Linux Arch using Linux Deploy.
It is fast and it would be even better running native!
Attached are the screenshots.
