Morning,
I have the Fujitsu Q550 tablet and it currently runs Win 7 however is it at all possible to put a fully functional (not VM) android base on it? Ive seen a couple of youtube postings but no links which makes me think it is afake but worth a shot to ask.
thanks!
Is it possible to run Ubuntu on the Nook tablet, especially with the new Kernel development?
It is possible, but I wouldn't count on it right now. Just wait till' the devs get more work on the 3.0, then Ubuntu will be in the windshield, just, not that close.
Sorry to drag up the old post, but I couldn't find anything else on this. Now that the 3.x kernel is more stable, is running Ubuntu on the NT better that with the old kernel?
Bodhi Linux for Nexus 7

Perhaps some developers can leverage this toward getting Linux-on-NT.
I' e been trying to port this with no luck, if I get something working I'll report here but don't expect something soon.

Ubuntu just announced Ubuntu for Phones. I would love to install this when its available. Can we get a folder for Ubuntu development?

you can run ubuntu on any android. I found a guide on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0PNsnNe3E0
Note its the same ubuntu as the one on a computer not one optimized for a phone
Yes, I have known about Ubuntu for Android for a while. I am talking about Ubuntu for Phones. It uses a new, amazing button-free touch GUI. Using this would eliminate the dumb menu button that's taking screen space on my DNA.
Ubuntu is now an open-source touch-based OS for smartphones and tablets that is also a full-fledged desktop OS. This is amazing!
I just can't figure out how they support ARM and x86 architectures with the same kernel.
Check it out at http://ubuntu.com

You could also use one of the roms, or flash Nitsuj's mod to get rid of the menu button on the bottom.
I would really love to have this ubuntu for android that linux themselves are releasing and have the ease of flashing it as a Rom. But I don't think they will release a version for every single device. I guess we will just have to hope someone to port it for us.

Since early 2012 when Canonical announced Ubuntu for Android I've been drooling and waiting for the perfect tablet to install it on. Now I have Tablet Z, but find out there's very little written or said about Ubuntu for Android since last year.
Does anybody know if the source codes were released? Whether it's even possible to port it to Tablet Z? If something similar will be coming?
I don't really want to go with Ubuntu Touch (not that anyone is dev-ing for it on this device), I'd ideally want android base and proper Ubuntu desktop when docked to a monitor.
It's difficult to believe this dream combo of mobile device and computer being one was so close over a year ago, but is still so far.

Sadly no it has become vapourware nothing as ever been released, but if you looking to run ubuntu and android at the same time, check out my sig.
Our project (LinuxonAndroid) aims to do the same type of thing as "Ubuntu for android", but not limited to just Ubuntu!

I've tried to run this on my tablet and it didn't work, i believe that the problem was related to kernel not supporting loop devices (I was rooted) and there is only one custom kernel but is not for all the devices so it's harder to do this but of course easier than porting ubuntu touch lol.

Ah I see, well lets hope I can get hold of a Tablet Z some time soon...
But yes adjusting my project to run on the Z will be much easier than porting ubuntu touch for sure

That sounds great, i hope you can achieve that because a 10.1 tablet with Full HD+ running ubuntu with a bluetooth keyboard that would be very helpful for running advance applications.

This is what I've been using actually. I even donated so I can use the widgets.
The problem I have with it is that the GUI is laggy through the VNC, I was hoping for something as smooth looking as in the videos from last year. Perhaps you can make a recommendation on how to improve performance? A lighter package perhaps?
Also, I was hoping to install a local web server and IDE for working when travelling (I develop Ruby on Rails apps), not tried it yet, is it going to be waste of time trying or should i just suck it and see?

This does work on stock kernel. As I say above, I use it on a completely stock ROM/Kernel. I did experience what looked like loop incompatibility but it disappeared when I re-downloaded the img. Can't remember if I tried a different image but anyway, I got it to work on stock.

That's perfect, yeah i tried Ubuntu 12.04, please tell me which distro/version are you using! i didn't want to waste time downloading distros and testing, so yes i missed that part.

I system details says 12.04. I definitely downloaded the full package, and I believe I tried 13.04 the first time (which didn't work on my 5" Z either).

Thanks man, i believe that maybe i downloaded the full version of the 13.04, i'll try again with 12.04 full version.
By the way could you upload some photos of how it looks the ubuntu on the tablet? and how is the performance? thank you.

The refresh rate in android VNC is not great. It makes work slow. Not done any real work from the command line yet, in fact, not done anything serious with it yet. I'll try to load a rails environment on it later.

Thank you!, back on 2011 i put Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Galaxy S2, and i was able to setup a django environment and also postgres, and it was working, a django website running on my phone, lol.

Then there is hope for me yet.
If you want any other screens just say. I found using an org mouse/keyboard gives the impression of more responsive interface but it still on the slow side. Maybe I'm spoilt by my haswell i5 with 12GB RAM.

Oh so you already has a haswell, that's nice. I've a Macbook Pro Retina 15.4 with 8GB RAM and Core i7 third generation + 512GB SSD mid 2012, but well i want a haswell because the power saving features!
And yes, you should be able to run RoR on it, and get a working environment, it's good to have a backup work system lol.
Also it sucks that even using a local connection is giving you slow refresh rates.
Check this: Oracle Java for ARM i don't use java at all but some of my preferred IDEs are based on java, like PyCharm, WebStore, etc. it would be amazing if we can run those things on our mobile device.
Hey there!
So I have my old but trusty Asus TF201 still laying around, mostly unused. I kinda want to revive it as a portable Linux "laptop" but all the guides I've seen so far are either somewhat unfinished or don't give me a lot of confidence that they'll work. Or they're just outdated as hell...
Currently I have KatKiss running on it, latest version. But it's still laggy and really not a pleasure to use at all, the main reason why it's laying around so far.
So, any ideas?
I have one as well, I had put Ubuntu on it awhile back (Ubuntu was only distro with GUI) it worked overall, but was still slow cause the kernel wasn't optimized for the hardware it was running on. Those guides, while outdated, will still work. I'm currently working on porting Halium to my note 4, after that I am going to look into getting Halium on the tf201 and a distro of Ubuntu (dunno for certain though)
