I wonder if this app or an app like this should take on a subscription model. I know maintaining this has to be a a huge headache. One thing to make developers feel better about this large of a contribution is appreciation. Nothing says 'thank you' quite like beer money. At least that's how I feel.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Hi Guys, I am still here!

Work has given me very little time to development but all my free time has been going to the project, we have some pretty huge updates just round the corner to give a much better linuxonandroid experience and do away with VNC once and for all!

In the mean time voting is now open for the lg contest, if you could vote for linuxonandroid that would be great!

This is happening becuase of SU, chainfire's uses it's own shell.

Clockworkmod SU, defaults back to /, so the cd made before su command cause script to fail. On newer android ChainsDD doesn't work.

App needs to be updated to do su before cd for CWM, and or run su with these options

for Chainfire's "su -p -s /system/bin/sh"

Well, I got LOA to work on my Note Edge. Had to do 2 things. 1)Install busybox from playstore, disable the busybox that comes with loa (renamed it busybox.bak as suggested earlier in this thread). 2)As my device variant (T-mobile Note Edge) has no custom kernels currently availabe I had to edit mine to allow SELinux to be permissive. Took a bit of an effort but it now works!
[Android Software Development] makgun:
Yes, I mean that it soft reboots not shutdown. Sorry for this mistake. And i solved the issue with smaller ubuntu. Big iso file has problem which i dont know why.

Thanks

Anybody update Terminal Emulator. I think it prevents one form launching LOA from a widget. Please confirm. (Don't forget to back up your current working terminal!)
[Android Software Development] cantenna:
The recent terminal update stops LOA from working. Hoping a fix may come soon. Anyone have a previous ver. terminal app kicking around that has the version number spoofed so that it does not update on play store ? I tried to spoof ver. Myself but had difficulties decompiling apk
[Android Software Development] mscion:
You can also change settings in play store to not automatically update. Only question is are you leaving open a huge security hole by continuing to use the older version...
[Android Software Development] cantenna:
Perhaps, but I don't fully understand the risk.

What are you doing atm, I assume you use loa? Did you update terminal app?

Thanks for the tip but I prefer not seeing it at all in my update section. To be honest I only use terminal app for this app. I use air term or better terminal app for other term related stuff
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Hi. The security risk is described here.

https://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator/issues/374

TBH I don't know how likely this would be exploited in the short run. But it never hurts to be careful! Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I had noticed by accident that the terminal update prevented LOA from running when testing different roms on my note 3 so I recoverd the older version from a backup and it worked fine. I then checked what the update was about at the play store and read it was addressing a security issue. Be interesting to know if other terminal emulators have the same issue.
[Android Software Development] cantenna:
Thanks! I actually just compiled the previous terminal version with Android Studio myself from source, that way it doesn't get updated when I select update all in the play store. All is well again:)
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Thats good. But I think that the maintainers of LOA should take a look at what is going on in jakpal's github thread Andriod-Terminal-Emulator as there is a discussion on suggested changes for LOA. The LOA apk has a link to the playstore for terminal emulator so that anyone that tries to download the new version will think LOA is broken. Again, here is the link to the github thread

Ok, for fun I tried LOA on a leaked lollipop based rom and it worked! Couldn't use version of busybox that comes with LOA. Also used an older version of android terminal and had to have a kernel that allows SELinux=permissive. Just wondering, anyone get LOA to work on a Nexus 6?
[Android Software Development] jcfunk:
Needs a pie, position-independent executable, busybox. Lollipop only allows this type of binaries
[Android Software Development] wrsg:
You could upload it here temporarily so testers can try it out because at the moment the terminal bug is a bit of a hassle.
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Hi. Not quite up on this sort of thing but because I got LOA to work on a lollipop based rom then LOA is an app that has a pie? If so, may I then infer that it should work on the Nexus 6?

Greetings :) .

Im trying to fire up ubuntu on my n8010 but when i hit start linux it only opens the terminal emu and the process stops here. The emulator doing nothing. Have someone an idea what went wrong? :confused: (Yes im rooted and busybox is up to date .)
[Android Software Development] mscion:
The folks that make terminal emulator had to fix a security issue. This fix prevents LOA from working as it is currently written. For LOA to work you need version 1.0.63 or lower of terminal emulator. I don't know how serious the security hole is so you would be proceeding at your own risk if you use the earlier version. [MENTION=2083190]zacthespack[/MENTION] says they are working on a fix for this.

Anybody see anything like this? I get it when I try to run a fedora.img on my Note Edge. The same img file works fine on my Note 3 and Galaxy Pro 8.4 tablet. I have SELinux = Permissive on all three devices. I also have an LXDE based image of ubuntu and that one works fine on all three devices. But I like the fedora better because it uses the MATE desktop environment. One thing is it appears as if some of the files in the fedora image are corrupted when I open them on the Note Edge but using the same image a little later on the other two devices, the files appear fine. This one has me stumped...

[Android Software Development] mscion:
Well, this is interesting! I happen to be playing with LOA when I was in a room that could not receive phone calls and found that I could get my Fedora image to work! When I left the room and tried it again it failed as before. So I tried it again but this time in air plane mode and sure enough it fired up beautifully. It also continued to work fine when I then turned off the air plane mode. For example, I could receive a call and I ran wxmaxima with no problem. Perhaps a better kernel would avoid this issue but at least I'm good to go!

Thanks alot for this awesun project... :)

I tested ububtu images on my micromax a104 with mt6582 chipset , cortex a7 processor with 1gb ram and class 10 sdcard ... Ubuntu runs very smooth both kde and lxde on a resource hungry miui rom.... M shocked... Thanks alot bro.... M using android kitchen and github in my phone nw for developing roms.... :p

Common Bug fixing:

1: If u get vnc: geometry is invalid.... Open ubuntu.img.config and set proper resolution and dont forget put this × not this * between thm.

2: Could not start qbus ? In kde... Dont worry ... Change selinux mode to permissive and remount linux.

3: If u get port not found error during apt install replace sources.list from /data/local/mnt/etc/apt with the file i have provided below and type sudo apt-get update in terminal ( rename sources.list.txt to sources.list)

x2go client appearing badly

Hello everyone!

I've just started to root out my One and tried out LinuxOnAndroid, which, after a few days of google-ing and trying is working pretty well.

I need linux on the mobile only to be able to see my Linux desktops on PCs and Clusters to check my simualtions. All the distros and desktops I've tried, which have no errors in package manager and/or supporting X2go by default are showing empty windows for the client - really regardless the distro or desktop environment. I've connected thru SSH to my linux PC at work and I've started X2go client from that machine and it appeares without any prob.....

Any clues about the reason? For me it should be some display driver or session problem, but everything else is fine (except Firefox, which is not getting internet... but thats stg. else & not a primary problem).

I have limited knowledge about Linux (I know some stuffs, but I'm not a developer). Thanks in advance!

[Android Software Development] cantenna:
Lol, that's an old post... It's a bit fuzzy ,but I recall I was having trouble running Linux on Android because it was looking for a file in the busybox directory that wasn't there. For some reason the file it looks for can be found in the /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/busybox dir.

To get loa to work you have to copy the file over to the busybox dir.

The problem is, after a reboot the loa busybox file you copied earlier to the busybox directory gets deleted on boot.

So the solution is to write a script to copy the busy box file from loa dir to the busybox xbin or sbin dir on boot. Then loa works every time.

I forget the name on the file and I don't have the script I wrote hand. It's just a simple Linux script, google will help.

I plan on running hpc applications such as openfoam, paraview or blender to visualize (if possible) and analysis software like octave and scilab along with c++ and python scripts. I want to be able to also use my devices camera or usb port to passthrough usb devices and sensors.

Can this app allow me to do this?
