While I don't recommend using a distro that old here is how to fix the
issue.

so, to see if i could do it, i've flashed
ubuntu 13.04 to a 2012 asus
nexus
tablet. to my surprise, wifi and such work. *not*
to my surprise, i hate
hate hate the ubuntu default desktop and want to replace it as soon as i
can.
after some poking around (made more interesting by an onscreen keyboard
that comes and goes as it wishes, irrespective of whether text needs to
be
entered, which is annoying when you don't
need it and maddening when you
do), i got a terminal running and sought to install some of the
essentials. (by tradition, the first thing i install on a new linux
system
is mc, because it is the best tool to get me out
of whatever trouble i
get
myself into.) and i discovered that all the
repositories are now 404. am
hoping to find someplace where they are archived so as to severely edit
my
sources list and get, among other things, tde.
the corresponding debian
distro is raring.
it does sort of run (though about half the stuff is canonical trying to
sell me music and stuff, which i think they've stopped doing anyway) but
without a decent desktop i can't imagine how i can put it through its
paces. and yes, the icons are tiny, beyond the fact that ubuntu touch
kinds sucks in general. in tde i can make the icons bigger.
i'm hoping to justify the expenditure of time . . . and tun tde on a
tablet.
13.04 is 5 years old....
18.04 beta doesn't work? (you might want to skip 16.04 at this point)
