(just the basic install of ubuntu no GUI about 200MB to download and 750MB once extracted)

[SOURCE FORGE LINK] [TORRENT FILE]

Ubuntu 12.04 v1 Small

(Includes the LXDE desktop about 400MB to download and 2GB once extracted giving about 1GB free space and includes normal programs like firefox)

[SOURCE FORGE LINK] [TORRENT FILE]

Ubuntu 12.04 v1 Full

hi zacthespack !

Thanks for new images.

which of these version includes libreoffice ?

And..what's the speed of 12.04 compared to former releases ?

Thanks, again !

TheMac
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
The full image include libreoffice but you have room to install it on the small image to, the small image runs faster I would say, the full image isnt as fast because its using unity however its alot nicer looking, and still very usable
[Android Software Development] barryflanagan:
Are unity and Firefox supposed to be working in these newly posted v1 files? I downloaded the v1 full but neither work. Same issue as previous images.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Yes they should be i am using the image on my phone as we speak. Are you sure you have the roght one (3.5 gb once extracted)
[Android Software Development] barryflanagan:
Downloading again but pretty sure I had the right one
[Android Software Development] DarkhShadow:
Going to download full when I'm at home tomorrow :)

25MB/s DL ftw :)

Hi zacthespac, thanks for all the work you've put in to make this a user friendly project. I've been following the chroot methods for Ubuntu on android since the Nexus One. Your work is very usable, and Im impressed with the apps on the marketplace you've come up with to use this. Ive purchased the Ubuntu app, and like where you're coming from.

For myself Im less interested in a graphical Ubuntu, but I AM interested in a server install running on my phone. Have been playing around with a LAMP stack, and keen to get wordpress going in full, as well as some other web apps.

Id like to create a server specific image for people keen to run this, based on the 30mb or so ubuntu core for Arm Canonical has put out. Don't think a base install for the server needs to be 750gb for the system (though probably a minimum size for the file container), and starting from the minimum size will allow for more customisation. Im keen to edit your boot scripts for a more server centric image, etc.

Happy to either work with you in this project, or start another thread. cheers.
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Love it! Email me im sure we can come up with a sever image and would happly add this into the project.

My emails zac@zpwebsites.com
[Android Software Development] splotz:
Hi Zac,

I tried the small and the full version of Ub12.04,

but I couldnt start the updatemanager and also firefoxcrashed.

The office prg worked.

On 10.10 before they worked both

Awesome! Will email you later with my progress, great to hear you're keen. Family day today, so won't get much time till later tonight.

Seem to have most of it running except mysql, keep getting this error when running

mysql -u root

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[Android Software Development] SithDagger:
So, installed the updated app, and the newer terminal app, the boot ubuntu widget works, but now the app force closes each time I try to open it, reinstalled it, rebooted tablet, still the same. Motorola Xoom running android 4.0.4 stock build, with Tiamat Kernal overclocked to 1.5ghz.

Ah well, at least the nice widget works, makes me pretty happy :)

Also, going to try to download and seed the 12.04 ubuntu small and full images over bittorrent all night long, hope someone will seed/I can be helpful.

how can we add loop device support to our kernel....???
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Not sure what is going on here. I started from scratch, got the Ubuntu kde version and installed selinux-policy-default. I booted it up a couple of times and it worked fine. A day has passed and now my phone crashes after I boot linux and start up jump. Possibly it has more to do with my Note 3. Would be good to know if anyone else is having a similar experience with Note 3. Fortunately LXDE version is fine Just wish I could get unity working. Once It's set it up it is more finger friendly. Any suggestions for getting older version 12.04 working on NOTE 3? Thanks for your efforts!
[Android Software Development] Valholy:
This installs busybox during the procedure?
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
I think that crash is related to binding /dev, see if you can comment out the line $bbox mount -o bind /dev $mnt/dev in the bootscript.sh file. I noticed this while I was working on the Fedora image. Commenting out that line (it isn't in the latest bootscript.sh) stopped the crash and reboot.
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Hi. That line had already been removed from my bootscript.sh. file. There was the remnant line to unmount $mnt\dev so I deleted that to clean it up. I tried it again anyways and it does boot up. I could type commands in the terminal. Just crashes when I use vnc... I can post vnc log later if you want to see...
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
I made a couple image updates after the Complete Linux Installer App update yesterday.

I just updated the Kali Linux ext4 full Kali toolset image, fixed the md5sum. Note: The Full image is 8.3GB and therefore won't run on FAT32; use the basic image instead and install only the tools you need.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Kali Linux/

Added two Slackware 14.0 images.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Slackware/

Updated Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to run on Android 4.3 since it is an LTS release.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Ubuntu/

Added Ubuntu 14.04 so I can start working on ARM64 (aarch64) support. As of now the image only has armhf support and is in a severely pre-alpha state: use 13.10 instead.
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
You need to ask the kernel developer for your ROM or flash a kernel that supports the loop device.
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Hi folks. So far I can only get LXDE running (based on the KDE version) on T-mobile note 3. It actually runs quite well. For example I can start up office writer in about 4-6 seconds which is pretty impressive! wxmaxima, latex, synaptic, even cadabra seem to work fine. I know I shouldn't be too greedy but it would be nice to try the other distributions. Unfortunately, for every case (KDE, Arch, and 12.04 LTS) I try, I find that while I can boot them up, once I use vnc the system will eventually crash (not necessarily immediately, which makes it rather mysterious to me...) and my phone reboots. Has anyone out there gotten these linux distributions to work on a Note 3. Thanks in advance for your help!
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Would you be able to take a logcat of when it happens?

Edited to add:

I built a fedora image with the Mate desktop that may work for you. I am working on an Arch image as well.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Fedora/19/
[Android Software Development] mscion:
Thanks so much for your help. I turned on record in logcat and then booted up linux. It got as far as the teminal and then the program crashed with the reboot following. I did not get a far as starting jump. I've attached the logcat file. Is it possible the program is just too big to run with what ever else android is doing?.

EDIT: First good news! It appears that the fedora image is working. It's been up and running for over 15 minutes (the others usually crashed within a minute.) Thanks again for your help!
[Android Software Development] xda23:
What linux operating system would you recommend me trying first on my tmobile Gs4. Thanks
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
LXDE is the most likely to work without issue, so any of the small images. Ubuntu 13.10 is popular.

If you are running Android 4.3, I made a mistake of not explicitly calling startlxde in the xstartup script. I didn't have my Nexus when I started building the images. If you get a gray screen when you start your vnc replace the entire last line of /home/ubuntu/.vnc/xstartup with startlxde.

I am going through and fixing the images, as I have time, but it will be a week or two until I make the fix to all the images and the app links to them.

Earlier versions of Android are unaffected and work fine as-is.
[Android Software Development] xda23:
I would want to use souceforge small Image right?I'm having a problem getting anything to download. Thanks
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Yes. Try the torrent. I think there are quite a few seeders.

Hey i tried to run kali on my Nexus 7 (2012) and everything went fine but i can't log in to VNC debian/ubuntu password does not work.. Help pls..

ok, i found it it's "kalilinux" but i have another problem with wifite, it shows me two network cards and ask to choose one, so i typed "2" and than it tunr that card into monitor mode, and ask me again for the same thing, over and over, anyone can help me?
[Android Software Development] xda23:
Hey I tried downloading 13.10 small image the torrent file and everytime it downloads it says download is completely downloaded but the image download size is only 45.67 kb.Is the file really that small. Thanks
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
And there is even a seedbox when its not crashed out on me :P

Yes that is the torrent file, you use this in a torrent program to download the actually img from the peer network
[Android Software Development] xda23:
So do I extract iy and put it on my sd card?If not how do I do it. Thanks
[Android Software Development] xda23:
Hi! everytime that try to download a image it downloads and says that download is complete but then it says file is bad size.what would cause that to happen. And how do I fix this problem for I can download a successful image. Thanks
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Another update to Kali for Android 4.3, posted from my Nexus 7 while traveling so no torrent or ext2 images until tomorrow.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lin...nux/kalilinux.FULL.ext4.20131031.zip/download

I was able to get the full toolset to install and fix some network errors, please check it out.

Edit: link updated to latest version. Fixed dbus & ettercap
[Android Software Development] iofthestorm:
Torrents have built in error checking so it might be better to use one of those. There's the aTorrent app if you want to download it on your phone.
[Android Software Development] xda23:
Are you referring to a torrent app from the play store?could you please explain a little bit. Thanks

I'm guessing you meant to reply to me, and yes, there's an app called aTorrent on the play store you can use to download torrents.
[Android Software Development] MarcianoS:
I'm still having trouble with the Ubuntu 13.10 small (lxde) image. Basically, app preferences (in particular, fonts) do not stick. If I change the font size in lxterminal or in lxappearence, for example, the new size is used until I quit the app. Then, if I close the app and restart it, the don't size is back to the default.

I have checked permissions in the .config folder and the .gtkrc-2.0 file, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Also, lxsession is running (though trying to quit the desktop doesn't do anything, which can't be good).

Any ideas, image maintainers? Thanks!
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Lxsession settings are not copied to your user session. Fix this by manually copying to your user. You can chown the new directory or just resetup the image by removing DONOTDELETE.txt

cp -R /etc/xdg/lxsession /home/ubuntu/.config/
rm /root/DONOTDELETE.txt

For lxterminal, you need to edit the following configuration file:

/home/ubuntu/.config/lxterminal/lxterminal.conf

It appears that lxterminal won't save your settings unless you edit the conf file.
[Android Software Development] MarcianoS:
Thanks k3v0. So, just to understand, I should give these commands after launching Ubuntu but before running vnc?
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Yes, enter the commands in Android Terminal after starting ubuntu.

The lxterminal.conf you can edit using leafpad from within vnc as vi can be tricky if not familiar with it.
[Android Software Development] MarcianoS:
K3v0, thanks, but unfortunately it didn't work. More precisely, I was able to edit the lxterminal config file and correctly set the terminal font. However, I still couldn't get lxappearence to preserve settings. Oddly, if I check the file .config/gtkrc-3.0/settings.ini (I am not sure that's the correct file name) the settings correctly reflect what I chose in lxappearence (font size in particular). However, apps don't seem to honor the settings.

The directories in .config have both owner and group set to ubuntu.
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
I think what is happening is that you are using the default session name and there are two sets of config files for the LXDE session. You could try passing a session name in /home/ubuntu/.vnc/xstartup. Replace /etc/xsession (last line) with

startlxde --session mysession

Edit: do that and lxterminal will use settings changed in the gui instead of needing to edit the .conf file directly.
[Android Software Development] MarcianoS:
K3v0, thanks for your help, but I still can't get it to work. However, I tried the 13.04 small image, and that works just fine. Interestingly, the logout button does bring up a dialog, unlike in the 13.10 image, so I'm guessing it's a session issue.

I'll keep an eye on this forum to see if there are new 13.10 images to try, but for now 13.04 is fine for my purposes (running latex & friends).
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
My personal favorite image is Arch Linux due to compatibility and its package management system. The build tools and community repos are also fantastic but to use them you need at least 8 GB.

I would recommend the large Arch Linux image with Mate desktop.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lin...chlinux-LARGE.ext4.MATE.20131029.zip/download
[Android Software Development] MarcianoS:
I'm experimenting with it now. Just FYI (I understand it's not a supported image, so I don't expect any help with this), I'm having the following issues.

1. When I first start it from the app, I get an error message in the Terminal:

mount: mounting devpts on /data/local/mnt/dev/pts failed: no such file or directory

Error: Unable to mount /data/local/mnt/dev/pts!

2. If I then exit the terminal and Start linux again, I get a dialog box that says that another image is already mounted and that I can chroot into it (in the app). If I say Yes, this time archlinux does boot (I gett the root@localhost prompt).Everything seems to work!

3. However, once I log out of MATE, disconnect, and exit, the linux environment is not properly shut down. In particular, I have some stray processes (dbus for instance) and hence the image is not unmounted. Not sure if this has any negative consequences, but it is not what "usually" happens with LOA. The only way I can get rid of this is by rebooting---I tried killing processes via ps from the terminal, but either I kill too many and get bumped out of the root shell, or I don' tkill enouhg and the image still does not unmount (when I give the umount command, I get a "device or resource busy" error).

Just fyi...
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
I had to slightly change the bootscript.sh file to work with Arch Linux. It will still work with all other images. You can download it here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/ArchLinux/bootscript-devfix.sh/download

Just rename to bootscript.sh and place in /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/
[Android Software Development] MarcianoS:
Yes, that worked! Thanks!
[Android Software Development] mscion:
I've really gotten to appreciate using Mate on fedora 19. The problem I'm finding is that the repositories for Fedora don't have some of the software I need to use. On the other hand, I can find pretty much everything i need for Ubuntu 13.10 using the Ubuntu and Debian repositories. But here I am using LXDE (KDE, for some unknown reason, did not work on my GN3) which is less customizable than Mate and hence a little more difficult to use on phone screen. Is there a way to install Mate on Ubuntu 13.10. What repository would I use for this and would I put mate-session at end of xstartup file?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Mate is not available for armhf for any Debian-based distro: Kali, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Only Fedora and Arch Linux can run Mate on ARM, at the moment.

The repository and installation instructions are here http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download but sadly only available for x86 and amd64.
[Android Software Development] mscion:
I was trying to get wxmaxima to work and noticed there was no version of maxima for arm on fedora 19. As it turns out the arm rpm for fedora 20 installed and worked with the wxmaxima that is available for fedora 19 on LoA. Think I'm luckly here!.

A couple of problems.

1)When my screen times out I cannot log back in as my fedora password does not work. I tried to reset it in the root@localhost terminal but it does not recognize it.

2)When I try to use the default terminal I get the error:

There was an error creating the child process for this terminal

grantpt failed. Operation not permitted

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: For now I set the screen saver so it does not lock the screen. Just wondering why the password doesn't work...

EDIT 2: I found on the web that

mount -o remount,gid=5,mode=620 /dev/pts

fixes the problem with the terminal.
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Thank you for testing this image.

I just downloaded the most recent Fedora image (the same one you are running) and my password works though I left it as the default: fedora

To reset your password you can always

rm /root/DONOTDELETE.txt

Edit: removed rather unhelpful suggestion

Change Boot Linux Icon

Hi. Hopefully without sounding too picky, I would like to request that the Boot Linux icon be replaced with the one that is used to initially set up boot scripts and such. As can be seen in the screen shot the boot linux (widget) icon on the left isn't as nice as the starter one. I would suggest replacing the starter icon with the letters LoA overlayed on the image of Tux. If you can give some guidance on how to replace the boot linux with tha starter so I can do it myself that would be fine too.

Thanks and I do appreciate your efforts.

I get an error when starting VNC using the Ubuntu 13.10 Large Ext4 image:

/root/init.sh: line 110 [: ==; unary operator expected

This is on my Nexus 7 2013 running stock Kit Kat with ElementalX 2.1 kernel.\

Edit:/ Just tried the small image too and it's doing the same thing.
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Did you respond to the questions about starting vnc and ssh or just press enter?

Also, on kitkat you need to enter the superuser password at the prompt. By default that password is ubuntu (all lowercase)
[Android Software Development] iPWNtehNOOB:
I'm such a spaz, I read it as I needed to set my own password :p. Using "ubuntu" worked great.

Is there anyway I can get AndroidVNC to register my right mouse click when using a USB mouse? If not, are there any other VNC apps that offer this?
[Android Software Development] k3v0:
Jump Desktop (free or paid) is really the best choice. MultiVNC is a good choice but the right click behavior can be annoying (right click & disconnect). Both are almost but not quite perfect.

Edit: if you switch selinux to permissive mode you don't need to enter a password. From the root terminal: setenforce 0

It resets to enforcing on reboot or if you pass: setenforce 1

Also, Arch Linux doesn't require an su password for either launch or exit.

1. Side note..... Thanks for that URL..... but I registered and never received an validation email, even tho I requested the re-send 3 times. NOT in spam. 40 min. later and no "email." Is it being sent thru snail mail? LOL There is NO support there, live chat, nor whatever.

2. Topic......LOVE THIS concept to the max..... yepper.... (dancing in circles)

Can't wait for Mint 10 (Ubuntu 10.10 fork,) and Ultimate Edition 3.4 (Ubuntu 10.10 fork,) running on CLF.

Love to "rack" them and "stack" them..... in a chain boot system. OH BOY!

Reason for Mint 10 is .... I can run it..... and it is not as buggy, nor does it require as much "terminal" fever as most linux distros for super "noobs." like me. It's been NO. 1 ( or 2) on distrowatch for many years. WHY because it is e-a-s-y.

3. Since Mint 10 and Ultimate Edition 3.4 are actually in the flesh, Ubuntu, and I have a Moto Altrix 4g 1GB RAM and 1.2 CPU and 16GB micro, couldn't I just rename the img file and shouldn't it in my dreams.... run under CLF?

I hope?

In other words..... would it break something??? :confused:
