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!

Yea having the same eth0 not found error as well. The alert saying that the vnc is running on local host never comes up either. Is there a way to uninstall backtrack and reinstall it? Or should I just remove the files?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] anomaly256:
Hi zacthespack,

Sorry if this has come up before, I didn't see anything with a cursory glance so I decided to ask:

Is there, or will there be, a way to change the default terminal app used? eg: I really prefer Better Terminal Pro due to it's multi-VT/windows, full screen mode, and other niceties.

Also, instead of relying on VNC, have you had a look at the native XServer for Android project? I can't post links yet (even though i've been a forum member for half a decade now *shrug*) but I'm sure you know the app I'm talking about. It's open source too and looks to be in need of developers. Quite unstable at the moment and not regularly updated but has a lot of potential.

If it can be integrated and brought up to date it might give a far better experience/performance than VNC.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Currently we cant use other terminals but will certainly look at adding others that support commands from another applications, I shall have to talk with the devs of better terminal to see if this is possible.

We have been looking the native xserver yes, it does still not quite alot of work to work well with what we are doing but it is certainly the way we would like to go in the future.

Any news or information about U4A (Ubuntu for Android).

Will it work on "non-docked" phones like the SGS2, Gnex and sgNOTE by using the MHL-connection?

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...ings-ubuntu-desktop-to-docked-smartphones.ars

Frankly nothing beats (native nix) Maemo5, but I would've loved to see it modernize or MeeGo ship in any competitive smartphone.

I was able to do the install and get an X session of Debian on my SGS II with FoxHound Octacon and Abyss 1.6 kernel.

I couldn't get the menu up or anything to open - guess I have some reading to do about key mappings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Whos ubuntu.img? Mine are all hosted on source forge, I don't quite understand why you want this?

To be honest U4A is very close to being to same as what I am doing here, just with native graphics etc, see it as this project if a team of people who built Ubuntu was working on it ;)

But It sounds to me like its planned to only be included in new phones and requires the phone to be docked to view ubuntu. BUT if they release the source its very likely I can pull out the goodies and add them into mine and boom you have native audio/video/graphics without the need of a dock

Hmmm odd keymapping should be ok, can you move the mouse etc?

Isn't this just the Ubuntu installer app from the market?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
I see no reason to do this his image will not be much different (might even be based on mine) and I cant download it any faster than you

Yes this is one of the apps from my project, this thread is for support and also extra beta tests of images etc when I come up with them :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mdrjr:
Ok, few tips.

Some things WILL NOT WORK.

You are running Ubuntu/Debian/W.E. on top of Android's Kernel and there are quite some diffs here.

For instance the apache error that you are seeing is mostly because android does not have the same accouting system that your ubuntu uses.

On easier words, android don't use /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.

;)

Its just fun to have those, if you dont know what to do or don't think that its useful, its not made for you.

I just purchased Backtrack installer as I am on stock rom and kernel with my note. Just downloading the backtrack image now over my wifi but is ~800mb is there a quicker way to download the backtrack Image?

If i go to your blog site and download the backtrack free image is it the exact same image or have u tweaked purchase backtrack image in some way.

cheers :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
right now not really. and no the free and paid images are the same i plan on releasing torrents for everything but that takes time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mattybxda:
no worries thanks for the info love the project idea to btw :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mattybxda:
Im currently on 2.3.6 GB and have a CF-root kernel xxla6 and havent had success.

I am just wondering if I have done everything correctly?

When I manage to vnc into Backtrack I get these following error messages: http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u397/mattyb0711/SC20120410-091629.png & http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u397/mattyb0711/SC20120410-091648.png

First i had the backtrack.sh and the backtrack image on my external sd card then copied it to the internal one and tried again but both time I received the error msgs above.

I was also thinking about maybe downloading the arm image directly from the backtrack site in case my download somehow got partly corrupted but was wondering if the arm image provided in your ap is modified with the vnc configuring?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] senectus:
I presume that this would burn through the battery like there is no tomorrow...?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
I would suggest re downloading the image, not a error I have seen before which normally means a corrupt image file

Not really no, unless you are on the GUI known stop, this dosnt have as many things running like a normal linux install because androids already doing most of the hard work, I have mine running in the background and barely see a decrease in battery life
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mattybxda:
Any other ideas if re-downloading the image didn't work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
could you do a screen shoot of the terminal with it booting up so I could see if there are any error messages there
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mattybxda:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
what about any errors after you enter the screen size and you get to command promt

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
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
I am in the process of creating a new working device table which is being powered by a google docs form.

This way you can all simply enter your device/rom/kernel etc and help keep the list up to date as lately I have been working hard on the app/images and forgot about the working device list.

SO please fill out this form here with your device information if you have got any of the distros running on your device. Thank you for your time

New Ubuntu images

The new Ubuntu 12.04 stable images are now ready to download! You can download from source forge or download the torrent and seed to support the project :) (if I get enough support for the torrents the project will get alot more torrent love :P )

Ubuntu 12.04 v1 Core

(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

(The image you have been waiting for including Unity! plus a range of programs this is 1.3GB to download and 3.5GB once extracted with about 1.5GB free space)

[SOURCE FORGE LINK] [TORRENT FILE]

nice work.

whats the diffrent between free and paid version?

can u share a video of ur work?

tnx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] begz:
free= for demo version

paid= for full version

@zacthespack

how about the diffrent between ubuntu installer paid and backstack paid and latest linux installer paid..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Ok here are the complete differences between all apps :)

Free versions of the apps include all the files you need but they are downloaded via my source forge site, and you have to manually enter the commands into the terminal to get it to boot (three commands so not alot). So not so much a demo as everything does work.

Paid versions of the free apps gives you the one click boot widgets which means you just touch the widget and it will enter the commands and boot linux for you, the downloads also come from my private fpt server which 'should' be quicker.

The complete linux installer features everything from the two paid apps, plus debian and the new one click boot system which lets you set where the script and image is kept, you will also get any feature linux distros included in the app.

The new app is my way of grouping everything together to make it easier for me and for you guys, once you by the complete installer you will always get all updates for the linux on android project (no more buying separate apps for each distro etc). The old two paid apps are still in the market as alot of people have bought them so I will still be supporting them but its recommended that you buy the complete app, that is unless you know you just want ubuntu or backtrack

hi

i use Ubuntu installer V2.2 In My Tab ( tegra 2 - froyo 2.2 - Rooted - BusyBox )

when I click On "Download/install VNCviewer App" & "Download/install Terminal App" Button ,I get FC !!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] praetorius:
any practical application for this in real life other than "i can install linux on my phone"?

Can't get my bluetooth mouse to connect to the ubuntu.

Is there something fancy I'm meant to be doing?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Odd do you have the market installed on your device? these buttons when press direct you to the market page for each app so you can always just search for the apps in the market

Well some uses like to be able to use a full office suite and not just the stuff on android, people have set it up as a backup computer by plugging it into a monitor and keyboard incase there main computer fails. I have played around with java/android app development within it.

I am also with the help of a few xda members working on a fully functioning server image with web server and other tools.

I also know someone said they have a old nexus one which they have install it on hooked a hard drive up with it and plugged it into there tv for a full low powered and silent media computer.

Really you are limited to what you can think of ;)

Well the Unity interface is a real drag on the system yes..but its what people wanted, if your finding it to bad try the small image it uses the LXDE interface is 2GB but you still have the same amount of free space as the full image (unity takes about 1GB of space on its own)

You need to connect it to android, ubuntu can not handle any of this itself as its just a chrooted image (i.e a virtual machine) android handles all the connections and passes them to ubuntu
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
With Ubuntu 12.04 reaching stable tomorrow, I will shortly after this be releasing a new wave of Ubuntu 12.04 images (don't worry backtrack it will be your go next!), but as with the last full image has shown me uploading 1.3GB of data on a upload speed of 125kb/s can cause some problems with corruptions etc.

Also now that the free files are on source forge (for those that don't remember they used to be hosted on multiupload) the speed difference between source forge and the ftp server used in the paid apps can be very little if at all at peek times.

So my idea would be to do away with the FTP server, and simply host the files on source forge, BUT also host torrent downloads on a seedbox which I costs me as much as the FTP server, so I can do away with that and buy the new seedbox.

The question is how would you want downloads? There is a poll in the sidebar of my blog that I would like everyone to answer to help decide what type of download 'links' will be included in the apps. Please comment on this post if you have any other ideas.

http://linuxonandroid.blogspot.co.uk/

Really I do think that torrents are the way forward for this kind of media, as the files are so large downloading normally can coarse alot of problems, something torrents do away with. But you are my supporters so I want to know your views on the matter!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] praetorius:
now you got me interested on the media player angle. i shall sit down one of these days and install most probably debian (i already have a debian server for CS, no monitor and on VNC through my laptop also on debian squeeze) :=)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
I would like to introduce a new team member to the project (making it no longer a one man band! :P) he has worked in the passed for me and created the new one click boot in the complete installer, however has been coming up with some really nice stuff so we have agreed that He should now be a team member!

I would like to introduce tuxling he will be working with me to increase the usability of the apps and making the whole system even easier to use!

Please welcome him and I know you will love the stuff he will be producing :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] MatanZ:
I have an interesting problem: When lxde starts, the Note reboots immediately. This happens both with ubuntu 12.04 and the older V5 images.

I have no problem with chroot, running commands in the chroot (apt-get, latex, etc.), I can run vncserver and connect to it from the note, and can even run an xterm. But trying to run lxde (or firefox) causes an immediate reboot.

Did anyone else have a similar issue?

Using Rocket ROM 18 and Abyss kernel 3.1, in case it matters.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] LemonPowerForce:
how would I pass the mouse through to ubuntu?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
the vnc viewer will do this for you if you select the input method for it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Mr. Droid:
every time i try to connect via vnc it says connection refused any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Yes vnc is not starting up, which image are you using?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Mr. Droid:
i downloaded the full image using free version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
ok to the full 10.10 image

Can you try running this command once your booted in ubuntu (at the bash command promt)

vncserver -geometry 1280x800
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Mr. Droid:
when i try to run that command it says vncserver not found
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Odd ok, then well lets try installing it but its very odd it should be installed, anyway to install it type:

apt-get install tightvncserver
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Mr. Droid:
apparently already installed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
as it should be but why is it not starting...its possible the image is damaged you may have to re download (in the next update all new images will come with .md5 files to check against which will be done automatically within the boot script on first use).

I cant think of what else it could be as this is the first time errors like this have come up
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Mr. Droid:
ok i will redownload the image via PC
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] LemonPowerForce:
Where is the option? I'm using the VNC viewer suggested in the app, and I can't see it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
While you have a connection ie you can see the linux UI, press the menu button and press input method then select the right one (forget which but should be easy to see)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] LemonPowerForce:
tried all of them, none give me a native mouse pointer.

I get a mouse pointer on my phone, and a second pointer inside the ubuntu window, which responds to my mouse as if my clicks were taps on the screen, and nothing more.

Android-vnc-viewer by androidvnc team and antlersoft is the correct viewer, yes?

any other suggestions? maybe the option is missing/messed up because of ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] Mr. Droid:
Worked when i downloaded the image again!!! cool
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] dvdivx:
Just purchased the complete installer look forward to using it Sunday. Just wondering if you could include a link to your website/blog from the app and truecrypt in the Ubuntu image at some point in the paid image. Also does the paid app include the upgraded images as you make them?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Was thinking this myself but will have to wait until after the next update. Going to make a project feature sugestion page when i have the time. And yes the paid apps get upgrade images as i make them.

Is anyone able to get their mouse wheel to work in ubuntu?

I have installed it on 2.3.6 and everything works great, except for the mouse wheel.

It would make scrolling through documents in Open Office a lot easier than having to use the scroll bars on the screen.

thanks,

Rich

[edit] My scroll wheel is working now. Maybe there was a problem with the pairing last time?

New question though....

My right click button on the mouse doesn't work.

I realise that this maps to the back button in Android, but is there anyway to get it to function as a right click button within ubuntu? [/edit]
