Odd ubuntu should work fine, however so long as its working through terminal not so bad but I will check this out!

Reboot your device (to make sure its completely unmounted the image) and then just move the image off your phone (either delete it or if you want to keep a copy to go back to move it else where).

Infact you can have more than one image on your device if you have the space just make sure you reboot between using different images

Just want to mention that I upgraded G Note to LRQ build version via kies. It was then easy to root and only had to add the start-up icon to home screen and reenter path to image.

So no problems to report with this upgrade.

Hi, how can I install ubuntu mini with lxde gui? I will be running it on my sg tab10.1. Btw sg note 10.1 can be a very good device to run ubuntu on, as its got a quad core cpu and 2gb of ram as well..

EDIT: theres now ubuntu for arm available on their website. Is it any better then normal version?

EDIT: on a bit offtopic but relevant.

I still really do not see where you are coming from, the free versions give you everything you need to install and run the linux distros, the main reason for the paid version is so people have a easy way to donate to the project.

Yes you get a few extra features for buying it, but these are simply extras as a thank you for donating. If you don't want to buy you do not have to, if you acutely tried the free app you would see everything is there that you would need.

All the work that has come from other people is all freely available, none of the extra features in the paid apps is work that other people have done (that is apart from the new one click boot in the complete installer, but the creator wanted it only included in that app, and I have paid him well for this feature).

The paid versions clearly state they are there if you want those few extra features and want to support me.

Anyway I would kindly ask that you stop posting here as this is a thread to give support for users of the project and not the place to vent your 'anger' at me giving people a easy way to support a project that has taken up most of my free time for the last 5 months.

[Android Software Development] bahha:
Hi Thank you for the great project it's truly appreciated .

I managed to finish the install of the small img ubuntu version. on Acer Iconia a100 ICS stock rom.

I everything works I can log into vnc .

but I have an issue whenever I launch a GUI application not all but for now firefox + synaptic( works) + chromium...

I get Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display :"4.0"

( firefox:2383) ; Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed: error 38 ( Function not implemented)

please how do I solve this . and can Install Gnome and use it instead of LXDE

thing I tried :

reinstall gkt-engine
[Android Software Development] mscion:
I've had partial success using the S-Pen. An icon that is pressed with the S-Pen will be highlighted and it can open up a menu. Where it would be really nice to use is with mypaint but I have not been successful. Strangely, I can still draw using just my finger but the stylus, which would give you much more accuracy, does not work for drawing. Perhaps it is only a setting that has to be changed. Hopefully someone can look into this as having mypaint work is a big plus.

[Android Software Development] sullytrny:
That just looks like you need to re download the file on a computer and extract it on a computer. The check sum (md5) is just telling you that the file is corrupt thats its purpose. The big and small ubuntu 10 seems to work pretty good on the razr max. The 12 is a little glitching more. Bt and arch I know nothing yet. I need more time. Do not use z7zip...

For the case of Android VNC, I just noticed if you do a long press with the S-pen when in mypaint it does draw! But if you use Jump instead of android VNC the S-pen did not work. However I also tried a different stylus (Bamboo Stylus) and that worked fine in mypaint as well as in controlling menus and other programs in Ubuntu using Jump. I think overall using Jump with the Bamboo stylus was the best experience. Perhaps folks can recommend other stylus brands.

start the run linux like always, then when you are at root@ prompt

cd /root/cfg

vi ubuntu.img.config

(in the vi editor arrow over to the numbers, and press "i" to edit. type in new params. press escape to go back to command mode and press "e" to delete old params)

type ":wq" to edit and save

exit out and restart linux from app.

watch when you connect into vnc to make sure resolution has changed.

I have a TF700 so i looked it up and it looks like the default software that comes with my device supports ubuntu and loop devices. However depending on where i set my image path i encounter once of two errors. I don't know which one I was supposed to set the full path to so i tried both. When i set the path to the ubuntu.img it gives me the checksum error message. when I set my path to ubuntu.img.md5 it gives me the loop device error message. Honestly I don't really know what i'm doing so any help will be appreciated. I have done everything else the complete linux install guide tells me to do as well, including rooting.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
This is a known issue with Tegra devices, if your device uses a tegra CPU then this is a normal issue

The busybox install has not been given executable permissions, you will need to go to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files and set busybox to executable using a root file explorer

Ok, I got debian and ubuntu 12 small working. Both are running smoothly. However, when I try to open the browsers....firefox closes with an error, and chrome just shows a blank page.

[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Not completely sure why the menus are missing at the moment, its on the list of things to do but theres alot we wish to get done so in the coming weeks hopefully this will get sorted

Well if you do have a internet connection you can use the apt-get command line tool to install software (plenty of how to guides online for this), remember that the command line is your friend :)

I'm using Backtrack V9 on Acer Iconia A200 (stock kernel & stock ICS 4.0.3). For the past few days, i tried to compile external wifi rt73 module (via native chroot session) to work with aircrack-ng (built in wifi doesn't support mon mode). Well, unfortunately even, i got mon mode enabled, it still got problem. I believe this is because i didn't properly compile the modules driver.

So, anybody out there successfully running mon mode via ext wifi? Or, anybody willing to share rt73.ko file for '2.6.39.4+ SMP preempt' kernel?

Can you explain the purpose? That's quite new to me

I'm having a little difficulty installing packages. When I use apt-get, after it goes through all the files, a grey window labeled "configuring ttf mscorefonts installer" with an end user agreement pops up.

It tells me to read and agree to the terms. There is an "<ok>" at the bottom of it, which I assume is the "agree" button. However, I cannot click on it. The mouse pointer stays in "text" mode instead of changing to "click-on" mode.

It stays stuck on that screen. Everything else functions, but I can't go any further with the installation. Anyone have any ideas?

You can install java in the small image, with 12.10 we will likely re consider which desktop environment to use, or prehaps finish a better first boot to let the user select there own desktop enviroment.

You should be able to use the shift key to highlight ok and then press enter
[Android Software Development] lncoln:
Thank you, I'll try it.

Also...if I connected my device to my computer via usb while running the environment, can I interact with it on the computer as if I actually had Ubuntu installed on my desktop?

[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Not quite but you can ssh into it or if your connect the device to the same network as the computer you want to access your ubuntu install you could isntall a vnc client on your computer and connect to the phone, using the phones network ip address instead of localhost.

I often do this for developing in the image to use a big screen
[Android Software Development] lncoln:
Awesome, I'll try that out.

I tried using the shift key, nothing happens. I can highlight it by long pressing the screen as if to "copy/paste". But that's it.

Atrix 4G

Zac,

Greetings - and thank you. I purchased the paid Ubuntu app months ago hoping to make my CM based Atrix work with my lapdock in a usable fashion. (Could I live without the laptop for basic work in my IT Infrastucture and OPs job...) As you know the Atrix has been plagued with issues... I am excited to see you have gotten one. / What i didn't see is if you aquired a lapdock with it? As a friend may be getting rid of his in which case I can urge him to donate...

In part using the build guide from the app, I was able to get a seemingly working debian (Wheezy) env setup with xfce. I am able to use iceweasel, email, etc. And most important I am able to run VPNC and Remmenia to RDP to my work machine behind a cisco firewall. It's very much hacked together but it's working. I am not sure that I have anything that would be of value to share, but would be happy to if it helps.

What I was wondering was if you would be so kind as to post or email any finding you have along the way as to why these devices are being difficult and what you are doing / have done to get past it as you make progress. I have just a moderate comfort with Linux, but manage to get around, but the Seg Faults that plague the Atrix are well beyond me. (This was the problem that showed on most of the images for LOA I tried as well as what I am seeing now with some apps (but not others) Web, Chromium, and other brosers would segfault or launch and crash and iceweasel is the only one that I can get working. And I don't know how to get into whether it is a GTK vs, thing or a kernel issue, but I am curious if you'd be willing to share some of what you find so that I may understand more on these.

thank you again for all your work - and to all the devs (and not so devs - like me) that keep bringing ideas to make our days more interesting. (and sometimes frusrating...)
[Android Software Development] hololight:
Quick question (apologies if asked in some form already but couldn't find answer), is the backtrack image based on the official bt5 arm version released by the backtrack team? If so, are the only changes the scripts and such?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Hello!

Well I do not have a lapdock yet, I have got one lined up from the US as radio shack where selling them off for $20 but after postage etc its going to cost me $80. Hardware donations are always welcome, I may still buy this other one and I could then use one for Uni and the other permanently in my "dev station", feel free to PM me if your friend is kind enough to do so!

As far as fixing issues on the Atrix I plan to start a thread in the Atrix forums for this very purpose, I will go through bugs, post my findings and hopefully others can test and maybe even fix stuff as we go along, I have been rather busy still unpacking and celebrating my birthday but I plan to get on with development very soon with the Atrix (After sorting out beta images for opensuse and fedora).

And your welcome, this truelly is a on going project that I hope more and more people find useful and come up with interesting ways to use
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
The original base was the official image but we have made alot of changes since, changing the image size, adding our own scripting, making a normal user and not just the root user.

And other bug fixes, however images are being updated fairly regularly unlike the offical image which I believe has never been updated
[Android Software Development] Wootever:
found a easier way to resize the image files: Download Resizer

you need to edit the Resize.bat

linux.img = image file

5G = size (5G : 5 gigabyte, 3G : 3 gigabyte)

and i found a interesting project named DirectFB

an x11 replacement that has support for Android

maybe someone with more knowledge can explain how this can be added to arm linux?

Maybe I'm a bit impatient here. I use S3 and run Ubuntu Full.

But I don't see any message after it (just ssh message end then prompt me to type exit to quit). Then I back to the VNC and I saw the violet background no menu or icon on desktop (just blank desktop with wallpaper).

This may be a silly question, but will the data transfer rate of the sd card affect the speed that Linux runs at?
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Yes to a point it will, but so long as you have a faster sdcard (class 8 or 10) this shouldnt affect it, if you have a slower cant and have internal memory its better to run it from there, while some fast sdcards can infact be faster than the internal memory, its really all depeneds on your device and your sdcard
