[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] lkashl:
They mentioned somewhere they wanted to have Ubuntu running not only across devices but on budget grade hardware within a device type as well. The HD2 still performs well relative to budget phones so I dont anticipate there will be any problems with the reqs. Can't wait till someone manages to get their hands on and port this!

EDIT: Actually wait, pulled from the Ubuntu site, there will be 2 versions:

Entry level (no desktop convergence)

1ghz cortex A9

512-1gb ram

4-8gb emmc + sd

High end (desktop convergence)

Quad core A9/Intel Atom

1gb ram

32gb emmc + sd

I'm sure the talented devs here will be able to manage something to get the high end onto the HD2, looks kind of overspec'd to me
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] closeddoors1559:
Actually no, the high end phones running Ubuntu will also have a dock which will provide full desktop functionality (mouse, keyboard and

monitor). This is because the mobile version of Ubuntu will run on two cores, and the full Ubuntu desktop will run on the other two cores.

According to the requirements, the HD2 will be able to run Ubuntu Phone itself, though.

Hope this clears things up ;)

I'm ready to test it on my HD2.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] HypoTurtle:
Believe the code in question is here. But don't think its the sorta thing that's portable. Anyone try it as it is? Can't spot in on first glance but I take it that the build model is taken from the device at some point, I guess if we can spoof that and see how far it boots.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Aitrus:
Installed it on my gnexus today. It's nice but its just a preview :( . Almost nothing worked right. But it did get me excited!! Can't wait for the real deal now! :D

Canonical ask who has experience to help them to port Ubuntu Touch to new devices. Here's the link http://developer.ubuntu.com/2013/02/taking-ubuntu-touch-to-new-levels/
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
Ill be tackling this once I can get the source downloaded, so many people are trying to get it that its crashing their repo, and since its ~12gigs, it might take a little while lol

I've token the time to extract the Ubuntu Touch Nexus 4 Dev Preview core system and put it into a ext4 Image to make easier for people to see exactly what's installed and be able to configure it without having to fully install it.

You can find the Operating System Image here - www.ZenfulApps.com
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Robbie P:
Hi z3nful, I have been trying on and off all day to DL the image with varying degrees of success. The zip seems to have downloaded successfully but is only around 100mb (ranging from 79 to 130)(tried from chrome on pc and linux, and firefox). Any chance of a mirror? Thanks
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
Thats odd, it downloaded good on my phone, Linux, and XP. here's a direct link to it that's not run through the file manager on the site, should work fine that way (still working out some bugs lol)

UbuntuTouch-DevPreview-Mako.ext4.zip
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Robbie P:
Thanks, that link worked first time:)

Ok I have extracted the image to sd on fat32 renamed it UbuntuTouch.ext4.img and put it in linux-files/system

The linload app manages to mount the image, but when i try to start vnc, i get

"bash: vncserver: command not found" in terminal after some other stuff, leaving me at the prompt.

I have tried to connect using other vnc viewers but no joy yet.

I have partitioned my 32gb card with 16gb fat32, 10gb ext4, 4gb ext4(empty) and 256mb linux swap. And ideally would like to use the 3rd partition for the image. Do i just put the UbuntuTouch.ext4.img file there and point to it with linload?

Thanks again

Edit; using tytung jb 1.3a on nativeSD
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
The Touch preview doesn't have vnc install when you first download it, and from what I've seen looking around in it, there isn't a command to start up unity.

One thing you can try is to install vncserver, then see if you can get it to load an "ubuntu-session" from the xstartup file. I'm not sure if that will work though :/

I've almost got the source finished downloading, once thats done ill be trying for a working kernel to see if I can get this setup as its own rom :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Robbie P:
I will play around a bit more, but not sure how that works.

No worries though, as is preview.

Best of luck with it:):fingers-crossed:

[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
I've gotten the rom itself to build right for the HD2, but the jellybean kernel has a few things that aren't compiling right, namely, the Kernel Namespace Support for networking. Which I should probably just ignore for now anyways since wifi doesn't work yet for Android CM10.1 on HD2.

If I get time today, ill try to get an installable zip setup.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Spaqin:
That's great news! I hope it will boot without problems :3

By the way, do we know what's the cause of that Kernel Namespace Support error and WiFi not working on 4.2? I'm pretty sure Desire has it working and there aren't many differences...

Haha network compatibility is irrelevant if it means we can get our hands on the ROM early :)

Thanks for porting it over!
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
Development for this slightly slowed over the weekend as I broke my Nexus 4 and had to go back to using my HD2 as the business phone, but I should have something soon. Its going to be magldr only at first, and probably only fit on US HD2 (since EU has half the space)

Once I have it up, if someone with knowledge of SD builds and Native SD can give a quick hand (I never had time to do more than nand installs), we can get it working for all models.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Johrans:

Hi z3nful, I don't know if you are having problems porting this, or if you are just busy with real life;), but I know that hopkinskong has been trying to compile it ( here ), and has expressed an interest (via PM) in possibly liaising with you. Also Sir sternas (WM6.5 Artemis ROM) is working on it too ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38252901&postcount=42671 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38678701&postcount=42702 ) I think.

I need some help from other devs, or if you have knowledge about *building* Android (CM10.1), please PM me.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] HypoTurtle:
Most of what you need is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/tf300t

With a few adaptions, it should build, for the custom manifest leave libybis and platform-api as they are and change the kernel to Sportstar89's (or tytungs latest), and the device line to Sportstar89's found here. Such as:

<project path="ubuntu/hybris" name="f69m/ubuntu-phablet_libhybris" remote="github" revision="refs/heads/master" />
<project path="ubuntu/platform-api" name="f69m/ubuntu-phablet_platform-api" remote="github" revision="refs/heads/master" />

<project path="kernel/htc/leo" name="Sportsstar89/android_kernel_htc_leo" remote="github" revision="refs/heads/cm-10.1" />
<project path="device/htc/leo" name="Sportsstar89/android_device_htc_leo" remote="github" revision="refs/heads/cm-10.1" />

Most of the rest you should be able to see what needs modified. (Haven't actually built CM10.1 (don't have the hardware) so didn't PM).

Hey,

From what i have seen, i ported and installed Ubuntu touch on one of the nexus devices .. though it was pretty straight forward but the version they have released is absolutely non usable, most of the apps there, are placeholders and settings is not accessible at all. But do not go by my information, my information is more than a month old when they released developer preview and i was so disappointed with their efforts that after that i stopped following them so if they have released some new version or updates after that i have no idea but think about it ...

Best Regards

[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
I didn't met any compiling problem.

Instead, my base Android is not working.

It seems that everything i built were useless.

All of my services crashes, included surfaceflinger, servicemanager, etc.

I traced the logs, all of them crashes for Seg. Fault, and the reason is, all of them cannot allocate/map memory.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] HypoTurtle:
Care to post the logs?

Few questions...

Which release of armhf are you using? (the tablet that I have UT running on, doesn't work with builds from the past week).

Is the log crashing/looping at ubuntuappmanager?

Are you sure init.rc has been correctly modified (if you have a boot animation then I'd guess init.rc wasn't modified during the build)?

If your compiled zip is ~50MB and you have the ubuntu specific parts (ubuntu_chroot, ubuntuappmanager, uchroot and lib*_compat_layer.so's), then I'm sure it was built fine.

Have you done the manual changes that are needed, kernel config etc.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
All of my Android services crashed, this include surfaceflinger, servicemanager, media, etc.

They all have Seg. Fault (MAPERR), which i think they cannot allocate memory properly.

This could be the problem of the program, or the kernel.

Currently, i am using 2.6.x kernel (the old one), maybe this is the problem.

Later on, i will try 3.x kernel (which is from https://github.com/hopkinskong/android_kernel_htc_leo).

My compiled zip is ~42MB and i confirm that ubuntu_chroot, ubuntuappmanager, uchroot, ubuntu-session, hybris (which communicates with android's HAL [I didn't confirm that yet]) is exists.

Here is your log file requested: (I am just giving out FEW ONLY, because the rests are just the same (SEGV_MAPERR).

[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
OK, surfacefligner won't crash anymore, after adding egl libraries, and LOTS of libraries in /system/lib/hw, idk why all of my library is missing, may be there are some problem in the build.

Surfaceflinger won't crash, but mediaserver and drmserver are start crashing, idk why...

Good news is, i got the boot animation screen now. (CM10.1)

I am trying the ubuntu rootfs now.

EDIT: No android services are crashing now. But i get Seg. Fault on ubuntuappmanager, i think that i need to try mwc-demo instead of the newest rootfs.

It seems that the init have ran "ubuntu-session", but for some reason, it won't start the phone shell. (GUI)

I confirm that swap is on, too.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
I see. but unfortunately, i must use this init as this init has been customized for Ubuntu-touch, including changing in Android log location (to /dev/alog instead of /dev/log), so if i use an older init which is not customized, the system will not work too...
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] z3nful:
Check the Xorg log (I can't remember the equivalent from when I was working on this for ubuntu touch).

Ubuntu-session restarting over and over like that points that the error is caused by one of the processes ubuntu-session is trying to start. The error is not passed back to the kernel system, so dmesg wont show it.

Its been a few months since I working on this myself, but I was stuck at a similar issue regarding a problem with one of the packages ubuntu-session used (can't remember which one unfortunately).

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
Seems that Ubuntu-Touch is not using Xorg, so there i could not find anything about Xorg under /data/ubuntu/var/log

However, i have noticed this:

cannot read proc file system 1 - operation not permitted
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] HypoTurtle:
I take it you ran

sudo mount -t proc proc /proc

UT isn't / wasn't using Xorg last I checked (although you can install it and export to an X server via adb / ssh).

And by init I would think he means the init binary and I don't think that's changed between android and UT, a few .rc files in the ramdisk (initrd.cpio.gz) have been but don't think the binary has been)
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
I confirm that the binary has been changed, at least, "/dev/log" has been changed to "/dev/alog", i asked someone on their IRC.
[HD2 Ubuntu Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] hopkinskong:
