How To Install Ubuntu On Your HP Touchpad Posted by sriramvg ⋅ November 8, 2011 ⋅ Leave a comment Filed Under custom os, port ubuntu, tablet, touchpad, ubuntu on tablet, ubuntu on touchpad. Looking for an app to easily control and configure your touchpad in Ubuntu Desktop? Touchpad Indicator, an open-source system tray applet, is well worth a try.
As one of those who grabbed a HP Touchpad at the recent (after announcing the killing of the product line) I did it as in full knowledge that this device in it’s current form is of limited use and (highly) unlikely to have lots of additional applications created for it. Php Serial Class Arduino Windows. After casually using it for a few nights of use I am personally not surprised that HP decided to ditch this product.
Compared to the current Tablet leaders the Touchpad is miles behind both Android and iOS and HP would have had to spend serious money to even get close to the current functionality of the competition. And you can take a bet that both of these will not remain static. I was actually to the current duopoly, but after using this thing I have to say that it is not even close. However I still think the AUD149 I spent for the 32GB model are actually well spent.
Since WebOS has always been a very open platform built on a Linux base I knew it would not be a major effort to run other Open Source OS’s on this device. There is already a whole bunch of people working on a full Android port (see and ). Epson Pos Printer Driver. But since I already have an Android Tab (Samsung Galaxy Tab 7”) I am more interested in other alternatives at this stage. As a current Ubuntu user I started looking around and after comparing some of the existing efforts found that the guys at have already done an excellent job in getting Ubuntu to run on top of WebOS, rather than replacing WebOS entirely. Which at the current stage of this seems to most reasonable choice. The installation was a very smooth process from an existing Ubuntu machine (Windows users might find it a little more challenging). I have documented the process in case it’s useful for others.
