Is there working 3G internet? Is there any forum where devs is working on linux? Please say.

[zedomax]

@esthetique666 not that i know of.

[GamepitDAngelo]

So what's the best tablet to run Ubuntu on?

[zedomax]

@GamepitDAngelo I would say not yet, perhaps when tegra 3 tablet comes out on a quad-core. Dual core is still a bit laggy.

[SuperRandomRemixes]

any idea whether or not this works on a asus transformer?

[zedomax]

@SuperRandomRemixes works fine!

[TheOz1999]

Next time, could you show us you using Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 instead of Ubuntu 9.04? If you hate Unity, could you at least put Ubuntu 10.10 or Xubuntu 11.10 on it?!

[TheNXT1233]

which version of ubuntu is this? it would be pretty cool if it were 11.04, or 11.10, but i'm wondering if ubuntu unity works

[itsGazaIan]

@mardurhack I only called it native because it's powered directly by the ARM architecture instead of a VM or emulator.

XDA also has a true native solution that you can use it as a native OS installed on your recovery partition. This one is much more dangerous and you have to full odin back to stock if you want to get rid of it, but its still cool.

@dede032193 Go look on XDA developers on how to do it yourself.

[mardurhack]

@itsGazaIan Yeah, I was probably wrong, I wrote that comment before digging into it. BTW just because it's ran from a terminal it doesn't mean is "native" (this is not the case but it could have easily been a virtual machine running instead).

[itsGazaIan]

@mardurhack Yes, it IS a native installation. It's run from terminal.

[itsGazaIan]

@noreplyism VNC is only used to render the UI. He connects to LOCALHOST, which is the tablet itself. In order to connect to localhost, you need to first start Ubuntu from a Terminal. Ubuntu for Android builds usually are custom made so the localhost and port 5900 automatically open up when Ubuntu is started.

[itsGazaIan]

@MetalShreader He's using localhost, so you do not need another computer. everything is done from the Galaxy Tab.

[itsGazaIan]

@Tyler11440 Ubuntu supports ARM processors.
