Kindle Fire is Rockin'

I did a clean reinstall on my Kindle Fire and now it works great. Totally freaked out a couple of other folks here that have Kindle Fires. Now they want to do it too. :D

I'm totally impressed with the smoothness of operation. I am, however, overclocking the hell out of my device.

Thanks ever so!

Cheers,

Getting irritated by myself

Put all on phone, booted, setup, and now trying to VNC into localhost:5900 user ubuntu password <as setup during setup> and connection fails due to authentication error.... same message seen in ~ubuntu/.vnc/localhost:0.log

ANybody any clue ?
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Password is ubuntu the password you set up is your user password
[Android Software Development] daoth:
Right, many thanks, have been reading over that line :eek:
[Android Software Development] Scorcinaio:
maybe I am stupid but when i go in your app i can choose the icom "launch" ( there is the pic of a terminal) and than it opens a page from where i could make ubuntu start; i think that now i should press the menu botton (my note 2 has 3 bottons: back, home and the one i think you call menu) and it doesn't let me reinstall busyybox.... What's wrong with this??
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
It should be there wwhat version of the app are you using
[Android Software Development] Scorcinaio:
it should be the one i installed from the play store... Anyway i left my note 2 at home; this evening i'll try to reinstall the app too, is the version on the play store all right?

Unable to attach image to loop device

Hi,

I've had this up and running previously, but after updating with the Indiegogo Key, downloading new image and updating to new CM10 release it doesn't launch Debian anymore...

See script screenshot...

I've tried to find a related topic in the thread, but haven't been able to...

Any thoughts?

JellyBean, Ubuntu and Nook tablet

Hi. When checking out the N2A software that lets you boot up jellybean from a micro SD on the Nook Tablet, I downloaded Complete linux installer to see if it would work. I was able to start up ubuntu 12.04 large image with no problem. Great job folks!

Hello, I have installed chroot ubuntu on my transformer prime. I have the dock, wich has a usb connector. Android recognizes my 1 TB external harddrive I plug into it and has access to the files. The keyboard and mouse pad works also. Does anyone know if there is a way for ubuntu to get access to the files on my external hard drive also ?

Ok, thanks for everything :-)
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
You will need to edit the boot script, where is your harddrive mounted in android? I can then add in the function to mount it, as im sure other people have this mount point to
[Android Software Development] Mangala_Dharma:
ok, it's mounted as /Removable/USBdisk1/Drive1 ( I have 2 partitions on it, the other is Drive2 )

I don't know if you need all these sub directories to mount it, or if only with Removable you get the dependancies.

I tried to look on google how to mount usb external hard drive through chroot ubuntu, seems a bit complicated to find the info. I did not install your app to get chroot ubuntu, I found other way before ( androlinux.com) , so if you know the proper terminal commands that I need, either inside android or inside my vnc client's ubuntu session, I'll be happy for you to share them here. Of course, a script that would boot it all for me when I boot the chroot ubuntu would be nice, as in the androlinux.com thing I have to enter " bootubuntu" and " sh run.sh ", not too much complicated, but if I need many many lines of code -- I'd do it anyway; however..

Thanks,

Sent from my Transformer Prime using My Dog
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Ok well within my boot section is this section

##########################################
#Checks if you have a external sdcard #
#and mounts it if you do #
##########################################
if [ -d /sdcard/external_sd ]; then
busybox mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd $mnt/external_sd
fi
if [ -d /Removable/MicroSD ]; then
busybox mount -o bind /Removable/MicroSD $mnt/external_sd
fi

so what you will need to add into your boot script before reaching the final bash command is

busybox mount -o bind /removable/USB1/disk1 $mnt/USB1

however you will need to create the USB1 directory within your ubuntu build at the root of ubuntus file system while its booted before rebooting and mounting

I forgot to ask! How does performance of ubuntu on Galaxy Note compare to HTC Desire S shown in videos?
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
I would say it is faster yes, by how much cant really tell but it is faster and more fluid
[Android Software Development] themac:
Thanks for the great effort man.

I was looking for a convenient and decent (yes, yes, a S H O R T C U T, what's wrong with it ?) to use some linux flavor on my android tablet (Transformer tf101).

Your app is exactly what i've been looking for.

An application that allows someone to save time deserves some money, in my opinion.

To be honest and sincere , i'm also an iOS developer (gulp ! :-) ).

I developed an app called "iCalenDayNext" that, practically speaking, is just a front-end allowing people to insert events (and reminders as free sms) in google calendar.

Has many features, so i also decided to put it at .99$ (or .79 €, i'm Italian).

Anyway. Keep up the good work.

I think, as suggestion, and quoting mrWax you should implement puppylinux or MacPupLinux (ubuntu compatible). Speed is important !

Hi zacthespack,

I would like to know if this App will allow me to install ubuntu 11.10 with Unity 2D?

Thank you for your time.

All the best,

NSCXP2005
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
No sadly I decided to skip 11.10 and went right to building 12.04, however I have yet to get unity 2D working right, its still something I am working on but we shall have to see ;)
[Android Software Development] SithDagger:
Love the app, but rather confused right now.

So the paid app works, but i got it for the widget, which has decided to stop working on me, the boot ubuntu button in the app isnt working either. I can manually boot ubuntu by using the commands in the guide, so its not the script.

I would say its because i updated to android 4.0.4, but it was about a week or two after that the one click boot stopped working.

Just wondering if you had any suggestions on getting one click boot working again?

Using a wifi only xoom, with stock android 4.0.4, and tiamat 1.5 oc kernal.

Thanks for your time. :)
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
did you by any chance update to a new version of the terminal app some people are reporting a new version stops it working. But still works for me so not sure
[Android Software Development] biker1988:
It works fine on Xperia pro (mk16i) but it's a bit slow.The device has 1Ghz prcessor,but it running on 1.3 Ghz with custom kernel.Is any way to use ubuntu with any lagg?
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
Well I would say don't use a GUI :P but really until we can get native graphics running it will always be some what laggy.

running through vnc will always mean there is some lag.

But you can try using a lighter ROM and freeing as much RAM as possible before using the GUI the more memory ubuntu can eat the better
[Android Software Development] SithDagger:
Aha, yep, thats the culprit. Used titanium backup to restore a slightly older version, and now it boots fine. Thanks :)
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
ok cool going to look into it see if its a bug or he has changed the way the app handles commands from other apps, worse case I will get a version that works and make sure people use that version instead of from the market
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
ok talked with jackpal (the dude behind the terminal app) and he has changed how the app handles other apps asking to run commands to make it more secure. I shall sort a updates out for this over the next few days for the paid apps, but it will mean everyone must update to the newest version once I have made the change
[Android Software Development] biker1988:
Ok,thanks for responding.I will try with different Rom.
[Android Software Development] osamazhar:
your method allowed me to start synaptic package manager by writing sudo command, but not by su. whenever I typed su it asked me for a password and never accepted any. I searched over the internet and the following solution worked for me to solve su problem too.

root@host# ls -l /bin/su

-rws--x--x 1 root root 56229 2010-02-28 20:16 /bin/su

I had rwxr (I think I remember accurately) in the beginning, the I wrote chmod +s /bin/su while logged in root through sudo command, (sudo su), it worked for me. now my password is accepted :)

Thank you very much.

I have a question regarding playing music or video on GUI debian. Is it possible that I connect my GUI by using RDP app instead of using VNC apps? what the benefits of RDP over VNC? I have installed xrdp server and its running on the terminal but I am not able to connect to any Remote RDP app on my tablet :( VNC software are working great at port 5900.

ANYYYY easy way of playing music over it?

Ok this was very stupid; I wrote localhost in the addres and everything works ! I could launch ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!@!!!

Just one more thing; can I connect ubuntu to the net? I saw there isn't the usual icon of wifi; do you think I can use my mobile data connection too?!?
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
If you having issues i suggest downloading via torrent. The 10.10 images are on pur source forge site

I havnt really played with many other methods just vnc and vnc does not support audio

has your kernel changed its possible loop device support was left out

It should use your android side contection you can't connect directly from ubuntu
[Android Software Development] Scorcinaio:
This is quite cool but it doesn't let you use ubuntu properly.... I think you can neither install apps or save anything, am I wrong?

Do you know if there is a way to really dual boot the mobile so you can choose at boot if load android or ubuntu with the grub???????

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

I saw it's possible on nexus 7... is the only device supported?
[Android Software Development] DarkhShadow:
You can both save and install apps.

There difference between Zacs Ubuntu and the one for Nexus 7 is that the one for the 7 is built by the devs of Ubuntu, with full drivers support but will only work on the Nexus 7.

Also for the reference Ubuntu for Nexus 7 is no where near ready for the average user, its still very laggy and unfinished

OK so I've taken the challenge and attempted to get backtrack to work on my galaxy nexus.

I've got everything downloaded and I'm attempting to connect via vnc. I keep getting authentication errors. I'm positive that its just a problem with my inputs. I followed the directions and set the password as backtrac - left the username field blank because it didn't mention entering a user name in the directions. - put address as localhost - port as 5900. Authentication failures. So... what am I missing? My terminal shows localhost:0 as the address... should the :0 part be in any of the vnc fields?

Thanks

Does anyone know how to mount the sdcard1 and sdcard0 on ubuntu? I have been trying the whole day but to no avail. I am not really familiar to the coding used, I am more used to C++. Many thanks in advance. :)
[Android Software Development] devwithzachary:
YEs it does look like the connection isnt working, have you tried both wifi and mobile data?

with the new backtrack image it asks you for a vnc password on first boot, this is the password you need to use

Yes video sometimes runs, but vnc is unable to handle audio

If you have donation key this is added in the launcher, but if not you can manually do it by adding the mount point to the bootscript found at /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files

Feedback and issues on Samsung Galaxy S3

Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 1GB/16GB International GT-i9300

OS: ICS 4.0.4 stock (rooted)

Sd: SDXC 64GB (original exFAT partition)

- Ub12.04 full works perfectly, although a bit slow (Unity is Unity and 1GB is 1GB), any way to switch to GNOME or XFCE keeping the partition size and apps? Tried sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop and sudo apt-get remove unity but didn't work.

- Ub12.04 medium works best (my personal opinion), although I have failed trying to expand the image with no success (all uids changed to root on copy?) and reached size limit with a few big apps. Is there a premade *large* image with 12.04 without Unity anywhere?

- Ub10 UI works like a charm, but for unknown reasons networks don't work, and in gnome pressing "d" key hides the open application and shows the desktop (??really! both on hard BT keyboard and in soft keys). On LXDE this doesn't happen (but networks don't work there too).

Oh, and by the way, the link to Ubuntu 10 is broken, in the app. Goes to a 404 page, I have downloaded the image from SourceForge.

- Debian -I really would have loved to try Debian but (as some other users wrote) it gets stuck at "Creating user account" and never gets to the prompt again (until I CTRL-C). It probably would have been my favorite.

- I installed all images on the SD, and all the links to external_sd are broken (on most the distros), and system complains, on shutting down, that external_sd can't be unmounted (not a big issue).

Hope I did help somehow, and SUPER THANKS for the great work: I love it. Five stars deserved! :good:

Notes.

I like androidVnc when on the go, and Jump when I have bluetooth keyboard (Nokia SU-8W) and mouse (old Apple mighty mouse) at hand. Jump supports right key presses, drags, scroll, perfectly, just have to reduce the size (both w & h) of the screen by 80 pixels less to avoid it scrolling around. Also tried with MHL cable connected to wide TV, and it's fantastic! Now if I only could find a perfect distro... :)

If you dont know that you have to set up the root account first, you probably don't need it.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=root+ubuntu

Use sudo command instead. The password is the one you were asked for in the terminal. Sudo allows you to do common administrative work. You write for example "sudo apt-get install blabla" in a terminal.
