Hi, I recently installed Ubuntu desktop on my Nexus 7 using multirom.
It all went well and works well if you use a mouse with an OTG cable, I understand it was meant for developers but has anyone been able to install the tegra 3 drivers and keep unity/taskbar working?
When I install the drivers and reboot, it boots up and looks better but doesn't have unity or the taskbar. I can get into terminal with a keyboard and pretty much everything can open but its not exactly usable this way.
Thanks.

Which Tegra 3 drivers are you talking about? Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7 should already come with all the drivers it needs.
Its very slow and doesn't play videos, only sound. Also, in "about this computer" or something like that, none of the hardware or even the devices name is recognized. Here's a link to it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/nvidia-tegra3/16.0-0ubuntu3

Yes, those drivers are already included in Ubuntu Desktop for Nexus 7. They do have issues though (lots of screen tearing). Playing video shouldn't be a problem though if you have the right codecs installed.

I see, I installed the codecs. Might be a problem with vlc only. Thanks.
Edit: in "about computer" none of the nexus 7 hardware is displayed, I thought its strange since the version was made specifically for the nexus, is this normal?

Yes that's normal. Canonical ported Ubuntu to the Nexus 7 solely to test it and optimize it for low-spec devices. They didn't do a whole lot to polish it up and make it presentable for end users because that wasn't really their goal
Oh, let me offtop a little.
Is there any "easy" way to try out Ubuntu on grouper? I mean easy like flashing zip in recovery and then restore back to android...

Yeah man. Multirom is an app made for nexus devices that let's you multiboot ROM and distros. I've got cm11, ubunut and active plasma installed right now. Just read the how to's on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403 and download the Ubuntu 13.04 from that page. If you want a few other distros for multirom get them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093797. It really is the easiest way to actually dual boot. And the dev is amazingly helpful. Don't hesitate to report a bug to him.

If you have windows installed you just boot to the ubuntu cd and go through the setup. It will give you the option to resize the drive to make a partition for Ubuntu. Pick a size and go through the install. Once it is done when you boot you will have the option to boot from Windows or Ubuntu. If I remember right it will default to Ubuntu if you don't make a choice within the defined time. You can edit Grub to change that. You can do this to change it to windows if you prefer http://www.hackourlife.com/change-default-boot-order-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/.

According to androidpolice, Google will be pushing an OTA update to prerelease devices on Nov.11, which will include lockscreen widgets, and hopefully some optimizations.

Software wise, its fast. Apps still buggy at the moment but useable. One thing that I really love about this device is the screen. Color is so lovely and much better than Galaxy Nexus with trinity kernel (phone where I came from). The phone is a bit fat for me which makes holding this device a bit difficult with one hand.
And one more thing, the camera is good also!

Does it say nexus on the back? Maybe once the device is available you can flash a custom ROM with recovery or once the factory image is available you could use fast boot and flash the image.

Yea! Its pretty much the same with the Nexus 4 unit which will be out on November 13. The thing is there's no usb drivers for this phone right now so I can't unlock the bootloader. Maybe once the OTA will be relase I can connect it on my PC. Hopefully!

10 char.
And a quick and dirty run down on how to get the SDK USB drivers, with pictures. All in all it's a pretty quick process depending on internet connection speed, as long as you don't accidentally download the API's, and you aren't gathering and cropping screenies.
01. Download the Android SDK installer.
02. Run the installer.
03. Chose to start the SDK Manager.
04. Uncheck the API's, Check Tools->Platform-tools, and Extras->Google USB driver, hit Install.
05. Select accept all, hit Install.
06. Plug in the phone, shut down any driver auto install windows.
07. Open control panel device manager.
08. Find something with a yellow triangle that sounds like it might be the phone.
09. Hit update driver.
10. Chose Browse my computer.
11. Let me pick from a list...
12. Show all devices.
13. Chose Have disk, then hit browse, go to wherever the SDK was installed, navigate to tools/usb-driver/ highlight the .inf. Then Open, ok, and every positive choice that comes your way after that.
Ta... da.
Currently download Android SDK. It will be done in a few minutes. I noticed I skipped a few steps on the your posts before. I will try it again this time. Phone it works now!
I have not been able to find any threads for the Nexus 10, but I was wondering if it were possible to dual boot the Nexus10?
My goal is to try and install both Android and Ubuntu Touch preview on my nexus 10 tablet so I could try out Ubuntu touch without losing all of my android functionality.
Are there any resources on how to do this and has anyone ever attempted to do dual booting on the Nexus 10.

Yes it mostly has to do with kernel and recovery but rom must also be edited to work on dual boot. On my xperia play I can boot up to 4 ROMs using turbo kernel. The kernel creates slots on the SD card where the other ROMs are installed. I don't know a lot about how its done. But its very useful to have especially when you have a low ram phone so you could boot different android versions. Now if someone could get that done for nexus 10 it'd be awesome.

Ther are two main points here- Ubuntu desktop is installable as standalond AND with multirom. The latter requires kexec. Ubuntu touch is installable as standalone, but not multirom at this moment. Tasssadar has stated he will be fixing the ubuntu touch install process in his next multirom release.
As a side note, Ubuntu desktop can indeed feel very rough to use, but an otg and your basic usb peripherals will make a huge difference.

Actually cyanogenMod is just a customized version of Android, it's not a different OS. So i take that what you meant is installing a different ROM on your Nexus 7. Anyway you should start from here
