Has any one thought about using maybe OpenSuse or SlackWare or Even Mandriva/Mandrake my vote would be to see open Suse on Android :o

Hi zacthespack & users !!!

zacthespack another AWESOME thread!!!

You could try porting to webtop(on atrix) or over android JOLICLOUD, you could see it here: http://www.jolicloud.com/

Jolicloud it's an lighter OS that all apps runs on the cloud. I think, most of the users will love it!

Update: Correction, you do are a DEV on Jolicloud too!!! How wonderful!

Very odd try reinstalling the terminal app

Cetainlly been looking at what the next distro will be so thanks for the ideas :)

Not yet no I recommend just using another web browser and email client for now

Yes I have been looking at doing this but not sure how well it would work..we shall see :)
[Android Software Development] mrWax:
also arch linux + ratpoison looks also ok
[Android Software Development] barryflanagan:
Would be best to get one fully working distro, no? Be careful you don't spread yourself too thinly.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
well the things that arnt working (audio native graphics etc) once i get working on one distro it will be very easy to get woeking on all of them. Sometimes its nice to take a brake on these problems and port something for a bit lol

Hi Zackthespack (<- Quality name),

I installed your app, was very impressed, then when going to exit it gives me errors that it cant unmount.. Is this normal and ok behaviour? I have attached the error below just in case its not and i am doing something wrong.. Thanks,

Ant.
[Android Software Development] DarkhShadow:
It happens on mine as well, it does unmount though

Complete Linux Installer V2.2 Released

The new update for the complete installer has just been released!

The key change to this release is the new one click boot system, which now lets you set the location of your linux images and boot script so you no longer have to store the files in sdcard/ubuntu etc they can be where ever you like.

This release also now includes the much demanded boot widgets for each distro, and you can set the location of the files for the boot script to!

This great new system was designed by Martin Møller who kindly donated it to the project, I am very grateful for his work and anyone who wants to say thank you for this great new system, drop him a nice donation :)

His paypal email address is tuxen@webspeed.dk

I keep getting authentication failed on androidvnc on ubuntu 12.04 full. tried to download from free app and from op same thing.

backtrack and ubuntu small works fine
[Android Software Development] withbloodskies:
This did work once for Cm9 but I got a grey screen.

Then flashed Cm7 and it works as well, I got it to show the screen but its horribly scrunched together.

I couldn't use script 7 either, had to use ubuntuv6.sh.

I set my properties to 480x800 my screen size. Its perfect in portrait but in landscape it barely shows screen.

I'm running the HTC Droid Incredible. If someone could help me on the grey screen I'd appreciate it.
[Android Software Development] thunderbird_09:
i followed your instructions step by step, but i still don't get access to my files. my external sd is in /mnt/emmc. when i open /mnt there are no files in it, i can write new files in this folder, but they are not shown in my android system..

what's going wrong there? :confused:
[Android Software Development] DcR-Nl:
Have tried Ubuntu 12.04 v2, v4 both small and full numerous times, all ending in a "refused connection" withing VNC or just a grey screen as you can see in the attachment. This is my output from the console: http://pastebin.com/jaX7tRSx

I just started learning for the LPI Linux certification, so it would be awesome if I could practice a little on my phone. :p Any ideas? Or any ROM recommendations from anyone?

BTW the free android app links to the 2nd version, but I noticed the 4th version in the OP.
[Android Software Development] P0yraz:
hey guys

I just installed this on my device but I can't run it on VNC my device is

Motorola Xoom

CyanogenMod version 9-20120608-NIGHTLY-wingray, ROM

2.6.39.4-cyanogenmod-g7d60c22inky-ghost@cyanogenmod #1, Kernel

and I'm using free app with Ubuntu 12.04 v4 Full

it doesn't have any problem in terminal but when I try to connect on VNC it says:

VNC Connection faild!

Authentication faild!

How can I change my password I thing maybe it is because my password was just 3 character!

here is the screenshot:

http://ge.tt/7Ci7WbJ/v/0?c
[Android Software Development] thunderbird_09:
password in vnc should always be "ubuntu"
[Android Software Development] P0yraz:
but when asked me I gave something else
[Android Software Development] thunderbird_09:
i think this is not for the vnc connection but for the user account in ubuntu.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
what vnc settings are you using?

and yes the free app does not have the new version yet as we are working hard on a complete rework of the free and paid apps

This was the password for your user account, I should include a part to set up the vnc password to yes but by default its ubuntu for now
[Android Software Development] :
How stupid of me, I assumed that the password for vnc is same as user pass, thanks
[Android Software Development] DcR-Nl:
Nickname: emtpy

Password: ubuntu

Address: localhost

Port: 5900

Username: empty

Color Format:24-bit (4 bpp)

I gave it another sping (v4-small) and I don't have any connection errors anymore, but I keep on getting the grey screen. Also tried a different kernel.
[Android Software Development] thunderbird_09:
please, i don't get access to my folders. anyone other with galaxy s2? changing the permissions in the terminal is useless. it shows me the empty folder and the information that 700mb of 12,4gb are free, but i can't see my files :eek:

Hi, ive downloaded the full ubuntu image.

run

apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

now, how do i switch between unity and xfce? command line or vi?
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
odd is your device in the know working list? (sorry havnt had a chance to check it myself)

are the folders mounting correctly on start up? and do you see the folders just dont havnt permission to edit?

You will either need to remove the current desktop (i.e lxde or unity depending on which image your using) or you will need to edit the /home/ubuntu/.vnc/xstartup file to use xfce instead
[Android Software Development] barryflanagan:
Easiest thing to do is edit /home/ubuntu/.vnc/xstartup and comment out the line /etc/X11/Xsession, and add the line

startxfce4
[Android Software Development] DcR-Nl:
Yep, it sort of is; "Ubuntu, LG Optimus 2x, CM7 temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD RC1-90, 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod". Only difference is that I'm using a newer build (126 instead of 90).
[Android Software Development] thunderbird_09:
the folders are mounting correct and they are shown in /android/sdcard and /android/externalsd. owner is "ubuntu" but the owner has no read/write permissions. there is also a group "sdcard-rw" with all rights, but that doesn't help.

Android + Ubuntu + Autoboot + HDMI

Outstanding work!!!

I've been playing around with the idea of using my smart phone as a portable workstation, I have Ubuntu automatically booting when the phone powers up and shutting down cleanly when you power off the device. The next thing I would like to do is have the Ubuntu desktop and sound displayed out of the HDMI (MHL) port when I plug it into my monitor. Has anyone managed this yet or have any ideas on how to go about this?
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
So we have now got to a point where we are nearly complete on the next big update so I think its time I let everyone know what going to happen!

There will now only be one main app, this app will be free and called 'Complete Linux Installer' and will feature for free nearly everything in the current Complete Installer Installer you will get (most of) the Launcher menu and widgets as well as all three install guides and the ubuntu build guide!

The three paid apps will then become 'donation files' which act as keys to unlock the rest of the launcher menu (i.e the editor side of things) and in the future other extra feature. The donation apps will be priced at £1, £2 and £4 to allow you to decide how much you want to give towards the project, all three donation apps will be the same and give you the same features the pricing is simply to allow you to give what you think it is whether.

We are keeping all three as well so that anyone that has bought any of the paid apps will be updated to the key file giving them all the extra features without having to pay anything again!

We are really existed about this update because it means that there will only be one app that needs to be updated, which means when ever theres a new image or feature we want to add theres only one app to add it to!

It also means that the users of the free app will be getting a taste of the joys of the launcher widget and menu item, and everyone will have the guide to build there own images if they so wish!

Don't worry those that have or will be buying the donation apps will be getting extra great features in the future and of cause you will still get the good feeling of helping this project keep going and growing!

This set up will also allow me to 'give out' donation keys if for example we plan a contest etc.

The ETA is not completely sure yet there are a few more bits to finish but its nearly complete so it should be pretty soon indeed.

From Martin and myself we would like to thank you all for supporting the project and hope you enjoy this next update as much as we think you will!
[Android Software Development] srkelley:
No, thank you! I haven't used any of these yet, I've only just begun researching this yesterday. I'll jump in after the new app is released.
[Android Software Development] Freszone:
Amazing work and I like it but there is one or two things that I can't get to work.

One is that I can't access any of my folders/files. I can see some folders located in "/" (root folder or whatever it is called) but only can access "/mnt" folder and there isn't any files. Other folders like "/external_sd" or "/sdcard" just give me permission denied error. I have tried to do that "ls -ld /sdcard" but all I get is "d---rwxr-x 53 ubuntu sdcard-rw 32768 Jan 1 1970 /sdcard" so there isn't that GID(?) needed to continue that "guide" I found in some post here. I really have no idea what to do. I'm using that small edition and my rom is CM9 and phone is GT-9000 (Galaxy S). Folders did work on the large edition but it was way too slow for my phone :D Also I have changed rom after that.

I'd like also know if it is possible to get more apps to the small edition and where I can possibly get them :) And yes, I have never used Linux before (well, maybe a couple of minutes but really nothing)

For VNC apps, I have found out MultiVNC is the best, for phones at least.

Also, the complete Linux installer doesn't show up on market with the HTC Incredible running a 4.0.4 ROM, but the other installers do.
[Android Software Development] dvdivx:
I have the same problem except I paid for the complete installer and now it does show up. Feels like a rip off. Ubuntu installer shows up just not the more expensive Linux installer.
[Android Software Development] Pons:
Same, it shows up (I got it, too) but won't let me download it from the Play Store. Luckily I have a backup from Titanium, and it still works.
[Android Software Development] barryflanagan:
The vnc log file in /home/ubuntu/.vnc/localhost:0.log will probably give you some clues.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
It should do but with everything running from the SD it might get a bit lagy

Thank you I shall hopefully look into new distros in the near future

Could you uploaded a better screen shoot I cant read the one you posted

The Atrix seems to have alot of issues when it comes to running ubuntu (some have it working fine others get this problem) I am in the process of sorting the new update (See the blog for more info) but besides I have always said in the apps description to try the free apps first and only buy the paid app if you get it working, its not my fault if you decide not to do that.

As far as the apps showing up then not showing up, the android market can be a really pain sometimes, where abouts in the world are you?

To fix the grey screen issue, some found a different vnc viewer worked others found if they move it from internal memory to sdcard or the other way round that works. But with the atrix it really is guess work, you might want to try the debian images as some found these worked fine when ubuntu didnt
[Android Software Development] Pons:
It showed up on CM7, but not AOKP, which is odd because I'm fairly certain they have the same fingerprint and dpi. Those are the two things I know the Play Store looks for.

And I'm in Hawaii, USA.
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Just got the update on the complete installer. After I updated it, boot icon on screen disappeared so had to add it to screen again. Then had to enter the path to img file. Other than that, everything seems to work fine. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] cjrhoades:
Since Ubuntu apparently doesn't work with the Atrix I decided to give Debian a try. Unfortunately, I got even less far. Here's what was in terminal this time:

app_38@android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
app_38@android:/ $ cd /sdcard/debian
app_38@android:/sdcard/debian $ su

Well, I see you changed the full app to a 1 donate key. Still doesn't show up as compatible for the HTC Incredible on CM9. The other donate options do, though.
[Android Software Development] pug124:
It worked on Sgs3 too.Stock kernel only rooted.

However after on time working and properly shut down it has not worked another time. I get checksum failed error when scripts checks image. I know that I can unpack it again and it will work but why it failes..
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
The full app is still saying its not compatible? or just that one key?

Just delete the ubuntu.img.md5 file and all will work, this should be deleting itself after first boot but for some reason its not on some devices
[Android Software Development] Pons:
Just that one key.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Hmmmm must be something in the market settings on my end as the keys are all the same apart from there package names
[Android Software Development] Pons:
Also, (this is probably the problem), but I have the old full version installed, and your new free one. The old complete works, but when I try the new free one, I get an immediate FC. Here's a logcat on the off chance it's not my fault.

http://pastebin.com/MFgKiTNP

Edit before I post (posting anyways in case someone else has this problem): Yep, my fault. Uninstalled the old complete version, and the free one works. I did the read the changelog in the Play Store, but I was hoping I was special. Guess my mom lied to me. :(

hi guys, I found a problem on backtrack v5 image.....not really sure what caused the problem......

anyway, I boot backtrackv5 on Samsung Galaxy S3 perfectly, in the "terminal app " shows there had some error during the boot

killed that process

I started the airmon service again, and i successed.....but now is the problem begins ,later i use

to search the wpa hotspot,I got the error:

Is this the problem cause aircrack not work? don't know how to solve it......:(

someone know about it?

Also hope the newer version of backtrack can contains the famous fantastic tool "Aircrack-ng"
