thanks alot for the great guide ... i would like to clear something out for the people who kept trying and getting error like me ... i spent arround 6 hours of testing and i finally made it and its working

first of all u need to have root access .... then go to play store and download ubuntu app (Ubuntu installer Free ) and this will will download another app called ( Complete Linux ) ,

run the complete linux and u can choose to download your OS ... in my case i choosed ubuntu 12 complete .. let it download

now download android vnc and Terminal emulator and busybox

open busybox and let it install and it will download some stuff just keep it untill its all complete

after the ubuntu 12 done downloading ( in my case ) plug ur phone into the pc and explorer to the downloaded file ... u will see the ubuntu-12-complete.zip (just random name) u need to unzip this file and u will get something like ubuntu.img

now u need to copy this ubuntu.img + ubuntu.sh and place them into a new folder called "ubuntu" in ur phone internal memory

ok now we are almost done ...

open the terminal and do :

su

cd sdcard/ubuntu (the folder we placed the 2 files in )

sh ubuntu.sh

let it do the work for you :D

if it ask u for a password make sure u but "ubuntu" or it will not work with vnc viewer .. i tried something else and i couldnt run it

the screen size i choosed 1280x720

and thats all now u can switch app to vnc viewer and log in ... i used 127.0.0.1 as ip address and its worked like a charm

thanks again for the great guide and i really hope someone people can figure out what was the problem by the way i didnt use any kernel or any rom ... everything is stock and if u kept getting error from the sh ubuntu.sh ... make sure u open it in notepad++ fix the (; then) and EOL format should be UNIX save the file reupload it to the phone and it will work

thats all what i can say about the last 6 hours of trying but it worth it and now i can enjoy my ubuntu :laugh:

sorry for my bad english its my second language .. i hope you all can understand :D

"VNC connection failed! Null" after some time

Hi,

first of all: Thx for the guide! Worked perfectly as descriped - there is just one *big* problem: Any VNC connection brings up the error "Error! VNC connection failed! null" after some random time (5 seconds to 2 minutes) - regardless if I'm doing anything or not. Afterwards each VNC connection get refused by "ECONNREFUSED" until I restart the ubuntu. Any idea?

Thx

Chris

PS: I'm using androidVNC, the large Ubuntu 12 distro
[Galaxy S III General] projectje:
got it working after changing line 17 and in vnc using localhost.

it looks pretty nice but its hard to work on. I wan t to use it for running some programs i can't on android but to set them up right i have to do lot of terminal work and installing software.

my question is can i take over my phone ubuntu desktop with vnc from my desktop pc i tried several settings in vnc with the ip adress i find in my modem at home and i see the ip adress exist but i can't connect and it isn't asking for the password. all i get is a black screen.

than some other questions wich i don't think are possible but would like to know for sure

1 is bluethooth support possible, so can i connet in ubuntu with bluethooth devices or com ports?

2 can i use the usb from my phone as a com port in ubuntu? i would like to use it for logging my megasquirt while im on the road

running ubuntu 12.04 on galaxy s3 with supernexus-i9300-build1

thanks in advance and keep up the good work

Hi,

First to explain my situation, I followed the installation procedure on a French forum.

With some having difficulty in installing linux I looked at your forum I saw that the script had an error. Modified error, I tried to continue as explained in the tutorial.

Once I had the usual command "sh ubuntu.sh I get this:

]data.imagup.com/11/1161329155.png

For more information, here is my config:

Rom: Omega v13.1

Usb debugging: ok

Image: Debian wide

Script: ubuntu.sh

Application: androidVNC / Free Busybox / Terminal Emulator.

Thanking you,

[Galaxy S III General] michaellee213:
First of all, I have the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3 with the Backtrack 5 image installed to /sdcard/bt5/bt5.img

Here is the problem now with Backtrack on the Galaxy S3. The ARM version of Backtrack was released in May of 2011 and is now very much out of date. Additionally, it does not seem to come with either MySQL or PostgreSQL. This is necessary in order to have functionality with msfconsole (Metasploit) and armitage (metasploit's gui). It is also missing the aircrack suite (airolib for example)

I have created a script to add a few things to the ARM release of Backtrack. It goes something like this. Note that msfupdate is optional (it does take a while)

SCRIPT CENSORED DUE TO ME BEING A NEW MEMBER HERE AS OF SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2012. BECAUSE THE SCRIPT CONTAINS LINKS, I AM NOT ALLOWED TO POST IT UNTIL I HAVE POSTED 10 TIMES HERE ON THESE FORUMS. FILE SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THIS POST THOUGH

But the PostgresQL issue has been the most difficult. Having either PostgreSQL or MySQL is necessary for use with msfconsole (Metasploit). There is nothing to indicate the presence of either of these in /etc/init.d. Similarly, when a 'service --status-all' is run, nothing of significance is in that list. No postgres, sql, framework, or anything else.

This means that postgresql has to be installed manually, but "apt-get install postgresql" or "apt-get install postgresql-8.4" doesn't work either. They aren't in the default repositories. This further means you have two options if you want postgresql.

You can install the packages manually (I have already written a script that does this) or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list. Uncomment the first two lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and then add "universe multiverse" to the ends of those two lines. Save, close. Run "apt-get update" and then "apt-get install postgresql-8.4".

The problem is that the installer can't seem to bind to an IP version 4 loopback (I think). This might be correctable via an edit to /etc/sysctl.conf or sysctl -w *something* or maybe an iptables setting, but I'm not sure.

MySQL might have to be another explored option.

In short, this is still being worked on.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12170301/φωτογραφία(5).JPG

has anyone the same problem with me?
[Galaxy S III General] MaHeRHeJaZi:
Found it!

all you have to do is to open ubuntu.sh file with text editor, and make 2 changes

1- put # to comment this line " if [ "$perm" != "0" ];then echo "This script requires root! Type: su"; exit; fi "

2- remove the # to un-comment this line " #mount -o loop,noatime -t ext2 $kit/ubuntu.img $mnt "

Then go to VNC and enter these details:

Adress: 127.0.0.1

Port: 0

Color Format: 24-bit color (4 bpp)

then start everything as mentioned in this post ... works great for me :)
[Galaxy S III General] blackeagle_mn:
so i have a question please answer me

does this support all linux apps, just like pc , like i can install aircrack etc.. or is it like a mobile version that wont take much off that ****?

If you have root and loop kernel just skip down to the installing of backtrack section.

Basics:

Install the apps in my backtrack torrent.

Copy bt5 to root of extsdcard.

Put a couple inputs in vnc viewer.

Launch threw Complete Linux Installer.

Connect with VNC Viewer.

Then I can't even type in a password
[Galaxy S III General] Jake Vdub:
Well if the terminal is anything like the terminal on a linux computer it does not display the password when you type so if you printed out the terminal session your password would not beon there. Have you tried typing your password correctly and hitting enter even though it looks like it didn't type anything?

[Windows 8 General] mateus_rachid:
Hey guys, have anyone here tried to pair (by bluetooth) a Windows Phone to a computer with W8 Release Preview installed?

Today I paired my Lumia 710 with the Win8 RP, and it recognized the phone not only as an ordinary WinPhone, but as a bluetooth headset too, or other kind of bluetooth audio device, unlike Win7 does. The phone also shows that a device (in this case, the pc w/ Win8) is connected, but nothing else.

It's a weird thing. Is it supposed to stream audio from pc to phone, or other unknow feature?

Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] nips_uk:
similar problem here. Trying to send files from my HTC HD2 WP7 to my Samsung series 7. Windows 8 sees the phone and asks for pass code, then says its "mated", but when i try to copy pictures between them, nothing.

Same problem with the bluetooth GPS reciever i have for Garmin Mobile PC. Garmin and Windows 8 can see the BT-GPS device, but Garmin can never get a saterlite fix. Always gets stuck saying "Searching for Saterlites"

Any ideas or just wait until real Windows 8 is out?
[Windows 8 General] gamo84:
As I know, bluetooth in Windows Phone 7 is just for headsets. Probably you can pair with PC but you can use only as a headset (I don't try)

But Windows Phone 8 will drop this restriction :good:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isilmalith:
I think the reason for encryption is that you cannot simply reverse it ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sonic Offline:
Well, encryption exists so you can't get in, and since it's a mobile device, there's a reason to /not/ add a "backdoor" or "root override" to it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
You can reverse this by performing a factory reset through the settings (settings>security>backup and reset)...It is stated clearly at the time you perform the encryption - don't you guys read before doing anything to your tabs? Anyway if you try to reset though recovery then I think the tab hangs. So odin is the only way. In the following thread someone claims he fixed it.

What? Me worry?

You mean -gasp- reading manuals? And BEFORE switching the thing on? Nah.

RTFM is only a last-resort-measure... :p

Part of the fun is reading the manual before first switching the thing on. You should have all the time while the first charge completes anyhow... But then again, this is a general flaw in humanity nowadays. Lacking Common Sense...

Ah well, flames all around now for speaking out in Jest...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Yeah...that's one thing I'm saying....I like reading the manual and I believe that - either printed or in electronic form - a good and sufficient documentation is always critical and needed.

But in this case what I mean is that at the moment you choose the encryption option IN the settings, you get a warning message. Samsung wants to make sure that when you encrypt the device you have knowledge of all the risks involved.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_Another_N00b:
Not only in the settings and in the manual do you get bold lettering warnings, most of the fora handling this subject warn clearly on the issue.

On the other hand, it is good to encrypt your device, just making it one-directional is kinda non-logic, compared to all other options/settings/behaviour of Android and tablets.

Therefore it would be simple to misinterpret or ignore the big bold-letter warnings.

Again: Common Sense is slowly going down the drain in humanity.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
I'm not sure what you mean by one-directional. The whole point of encrypting your device is to make it secure from third party people, correct? So in order to reverse it you have to ended a pin code. If the encryption was removed by recovery wipe it wouldn't be so "secure". Thus the decryption is possible only if you wipe from the settings, and it requires the code in order to do so. Now yes, it is possible apparently to remove it by odin flash but few people know that (yes, xdaers are "few" to the majority of users).

And, finally, I totally agree with you. Common Sense is not so "common" ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShotSkydiver:
I've been using my new unlocked S on AT&T for a few days now, and people have been trying to call me, but it never shows up on my phone. However, it only happens sometimes. I could receive a call from someone at a certain time, and then one hour later not receive that same person's call. In addition, many texts I receive are delayed from anywhere between 5 minutes and one hour. I noticed that it seems like the phone's radio goes "inactive", causing these issues, as when I used my phone to open up the Facebook app, as soon as it began loading the content my phone exploded with texts sent half an hour before. Finally, and I'm not sure if this is related to these issues, but I've noticed that my phone's clock falls ahead or behind ten minites , causing me to have to manually reset it. This happens at least once a day. I've turned off the set automatically feature as the network time is apparently ten minutes ahead of the real time.

These kinds of issues (besides the clock resetting) aren't new to this phone; I had an Xperia Play for the past week and it too would delay texts, however it wouldn't send texts at all. I live right in the middle of AT&T's large 4G area in Phoenix, what could be the problem?

First try to contact your operator and check if 2g and 3g work properly.

I had to write multiple numbers who try to contact me, when, and from where, as well where i was in that time..

For now we cant figure out if it is phone problem, software problem or simply their false..

And i know is really anoying when you have phone turned on all the time and when somebody try to call it says is off..

I had few emercgeny calls so i missed them as well...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShotSkydiver:
But since I've experience similar issues using different phones, doesn't that pretty much eliminate the possibility of it being a problem with the phone?

Please, someone help me? The time is constantly resetting itself and I'm pretty much not getting any texts or calls anymore. Weirdly, if someone texts me a bunch and I don't get them, if I call them and start talking, my phone explodes with every single text message I didn't get. Kind of inconvenient to have to call someone to check my texts.

Is there a way to remove this so it quits trying to load them?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
No it is ment to do that, sort of a saftey feature. Hboot automaticlly looks for and tries to load those files so that in the event of a phone not booting you can flash an ruu. If s-off it can also flash radios new hboots splash screens and recoveries.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] normanx:
I understand that. But it was a splash img that had no image in it. Was just looking to clean it up a bit from trying to load ones that wont work. Thanks though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
It is not showing the last couple of files you tried to flash. It will always search for those files reguardless of wether you have tried to flash something before or not . It is a built in feature of the phones bootloader. If you mean its trying to actually load a file but fails because its a bad img, then you can get rid of it by deleting the file from the sdcard.
