Please note download link on XJUbunTAB desn’t work properly!

I have a question, how could you create these custom ISOs?
I want to create Ubuntu 16.04 Unity 8 + MIR with last stable Grub version in order to test it on Teclast x98 Air 3G.

Your ISOs boots and works, but if I try to install a standard Ubuntu 14.04 Beta iso (with the special UEFI 32 file) i cannot install it, it gives me Grub error..

Update info about PinguyBuilder: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AntoniNorman/posts/DvkJZGiEHev
Also google /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size It may come in handy.

Thanks! It’s solved now.

I’m still struggling to patch the WiFi. It’s getting me mad. I’m sure the problem is that I’m not applying the patch correctly. Can somebody help me?

I’ve opened a ticket issue here: https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs/issues/61

All you should need to do is:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs.git
cd rtl8723bs
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe r8723bs

My last test on 16.04 with 4.4.4 kernel and the last pinguybuilder 4.3.6beta, removing patch for RT8723bs and vitualbox-guest-utils has resulted in a login screen (lightdm) where it only lets me choose the user “other…” and if I manually enter live or “usu” (my user on the Virtualbox I built the ISO) I can’t login. I’ve tried blank passwords as well.

Thanks.

If someone could test this you would be doing me a huge favour. If it boots and works I will re-package my distro and re-release it with the patches.

I think the problem is on the patches and/or virtualbox guest additions because the only kernels that can boot right (3.13 or 4.4.4 on Ubuntu 14.04) can’t compile the patches. And kernel 4.4.4 in Ubuntu 14.04 can’t install Virtualbox guest additions.

I mean, the only way I can boot the live graphical interface is with the combination that can’t compile the patches.

These are the error logs with kernel 4.4.4 in Ubuntu 14.04 trying to install the patches for touchscreen and Realtek 8723bs WiFi and Bluetooth:

http://pastebin.com/j40FECt1

In Ubuntu 16.04 and kernel 4.4.4 I can compile these same patches and install Virtualbox guest additions, but them it doesn’t boot!

OK, removed virtualbox-guest-x11 as a dependency in PinguyBuilder.

Also uploading a new image using wily kernel 4.2.0 and removed the virtualbox-guest-x11 package.

EDIT;

@xjesus where are you getting the touch patches from?

EDIT2;

Never mind. Downloaded your distro and copied the patches folder.

Without getting my hands on a Intel Bay Trail device, I’m not going to be a lot of help.

One thing I can help with is the grub issue on x64. If you install grub-efi-ia32 on the 64-bit system before creating the ISO with PinguyBuilder. It should fix “The ‘grub-efi-amd64-signed’ package failed to install into /target/”

sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32-bin
sudo grub-install –target i386-efi

Just came across this: http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/

Lots of helpful info.

@xjesus I updated the PinguyBuider this morning. It has the same version number. The only changes I made was that the 64-bit system downloads the 32bit as well as the 64bit UEFI grub for offline installs.

Unsure if this will help with installing on 64-bit systems with 32-bit UEFI.

On a side note why are you installing 64-bit on Atom devices? All the devices I have seen use less then 3GB of RAM. A 32-bit distro would run far better on that hardware.

OK this should work: Pinguy_OS_14.04.4-3-LTS-Mini_Atom.iso

• It’s running Linux kernel version 4.2.0
• Realtek SDIO Wi-Fi driver installed.
• Latest intel-linux-graphics-installer
• Intel Audio Firmware

I have no way to to test this as I don’t own a Atom device, but can’t think of any reason why it shouldn’t work.

Basically to get any *buntu 14.04 distro working with Atom devices this is what you need to do.

First install VirtualBox and install the distro that you want to use on your Atom device.

Once installed, start the OS and open the terminal and run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-lts-wily linux-image-generic-lts-wily linux-generic-lts-wily

Then reboot.
Once rebooted open the terminal again and run:

dpkg -l ‘linux-*’ | sed ‘/^ii/!d;/'”$(uname -r | sed “s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/”)”‘/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d’ | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge

When that finishes run:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs.git
cd rtl8723bs
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe r8723bs

Next download the intel-linux-graphics-installer & PinguyBuilder and place them in the home folder.

Now run:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

All you need to do now is open PinguyBuilder and create the ISO.

To copy the ISO from the .vdi you need to install virtualbox-fuse.

Download the package from here and place it in your ~home.

Now run:

sudo dpkg -i –force-depends virtualbox-fuse*.deb

Now mount the .vdi

Example:

sudo vdfuse -f ~/Test.vdi ~/mountpoint
sudo mount ~/mountpoint/Partition1 /windows/Partition1

If you are having audio issues this may fix it:

wget https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/linux-firmware/+archive/master/intel.tar.gz
sudo tar -xf intel.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/intel
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/AdamWill/baytrail-m/master/alsa/t100_B.state -O /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
sudo reboot

Then run:

sudo alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore

Hi pinguy, did you put in driver support for Realtek 8723bs than? greetings from Amsterdam.

Ahh, maybe not then.

It does ship with a lot of Realtek firmwares but I don’t think rtl8723bs.bin is one of them.

If it ships with the 4.4 linux kernel, then you should be able to enable it by running:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-lts-xenial linux-image-generic-lts-xenial linux-generic-lts-xenial

Has anyone tried Pinguy Mini with cherry trail? After doing a bit of research I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work with cherry trail devices.

[pinguy]

Just a heads up 16.04 support is very much a work in progress.  There are a lot of permission issues with the ubiquity installer (thats why when the installer trys to edit /target it fails).

The good news is 14.04 and 15.10 are fully working with 32-bit UEFI (I updated /boot/efi/startup.nsh so it has the entry fs0:\EFI\ubuntu\grubia32.efi. It will now boot without any issues when installed. Before it would boot once but after a hard power down the device would stop working. This isn’t an issue anymore.)

Have been told by a couple of people that if you install 15.10 then upgrade to 16.04 it fixes the permission issues, but as I haven’t tested this I can’t say for sure if this will work.
