So I figure since I'm a fan of Linux, and have ran Ubuntu on all of my PCs exclusively for years, I might as well flash my tablet. I have had a few little stability quirks with Android, so I figure give it a shot, give feedback to the community that has created such an awesome, free, open source operating system.

So far I only have one issue. I cannot seem to copy/paste between applications, and my wifi password is a 63 character password. I've put it in twice, but I guess I took too long doing it because when I hit "Connect" nothing happened, :-(

Is there a way to enable copy/paste, or WPS support where I can just hit the little button on my router and have it pull the settings that way?

And apparently even though the time zone has been correctly detected in the "clock" app, when I create an alarm it re-translates the time I enter as if I was still in UTC time.

Edit: Issue was resolved by rebooting after time zone set.
