**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Nov 03 03:00:01 2012 Nov 03 03:26:18 So why no easy install method for the Nexus 7 Nov 03 03:26:18 ? Nov 03 03:30:14 SailorMoon? do you want a canonical employee to come to your house and do it for you or something? Nov 03 03:30:23 it is pretty simple Nov 03 03:30:33 no, its not that its hard Nov 03 03:30:39 its that my network connection is so TERRIBLY awful Nov 03 03:30:46 i cant sudo apt-get update Nov 03 03:31:18 well nothing is going to help your network connection being horrible, except fixing it Nov 03 03:31:25 i used a download manager to get my ubuntu iso Nov 03 03:31:30 I wanna be able to do the same for this Nov 03 03:32:15 will there ever be a more "real" install method? Nov 03 03:32:26 one that would work on windows or on the tablet itself? Nov 03 03:37:29 could make an iso that boots into a mini ubuntu that only contains whats needed to install for the tablet Nov 03 04:57:25 <[mbm]> thought the nexus7 install was pretty simple, just a script to run fastboot Nov 03 13:34:00 o/ Nov 03 13:52:12 Is there a dedicated Ubuntu on Nexus 7 IRC channel or am I right in here? Nov 03 14:01:40 There is no dedicated one as far as I know. Nov 03 14:02:14 So this would be the best avenue, I guess. Nov 03 16:31:13 With ubuntu on nexus 7 Nov 03 16:31:19 If I held back the 11 packages in the ppa Nov 03 16:31:26 I could add updates and security right? Nov 03 18:16:31 hi all Nov 03 18:17:13 hello Nov 03 18:27:26 hi all Nov 03 18:27:45 any one here ?

I'm just a user in terms of ARM. Nov 03 18:48:54 Sorry. Nov 03 19:37:12 so I have a nexus 7 with a bunch of apps and about 6GB of music on it, can I back that lot up, try ubuntu on it and put all the stuff back again later? Nov 03 21:55:54 AlanBell: yes. you can do it with a nandroid backup for the system. to backup the "sdcard", i would copy it onto your pc. Nov 03 22:05:53 ok, cool Nov 03 22:08:08 im not used to the nexus 7, because i dont have one. but nandroid is the standard android backup tool for the system partitions. im sure you will need a new recovery to do a nandroid backup. Nov 04 01:20:31 Ubuntu on the N7, whats the root PW? Nov 04 01:21:34 don't use root Nov 04 01:21:58 the root password is disabled by default on ubuntu Nov 04 01:22:32 I mean Nov 04 01:22:34 whats the password Nov 04 01:22:39 ubuntu/ubuntu Nov 04 01:22:47 user/pass ofc Nov 04 01:22:49 it isnt Nov 04 01:23:17 says so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/UsingTheDevice Nov 04 01:24:10 but im sitting here with it... typingit in now lol Nov 04 01:25:41 So the N7 is planned to have Official support?
