and then rebooting in 7 sec, right?

Well, I guess that's not kernel related but has something to do with the way your SD card is partitioned.

To narrow down to the problem, I'd suggest to download and try Fatsal's X1Ubuntu first

http://neosites.org/X1/Android/fatsal/x1buntu/fatsal-ubuntuX1-20100225.tar.gz

It should 100% work on Xperia. If it doesn't, it's definitely partitioning-related and you should try formatting your SD card in Windows. I

If it, however, does work, then there must be something wrong with Rhobuntu.

That's pretty much of testing, I know, but Rhobuntu is still very much in the development stages. It works well on Rhodium because I have a Rhodium myself and can test the stuff. It also seems to work well on Diamond, after teekanne and phhuson helped me with the wifi settings. JesusFreak316 actively tests it on his Fuze so it works well on Fuze,too. But as far as Xperia, Blackstone and Topaz are concerned, I almost don't get any feedback at all.

Thus, the support degree for the particular device is directly proportional to the commitment of the owners of that device. I really would love to have all the six supported phones myself, to get Rhobuntu supporting them all equally well, but hey, as a German physics student you usually don't have that much money :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] roitl:
no, it doesn't reboot after 7sec. it just keeps writting the error message.

fatsal works fine, at least the previous build. gonna try the current build tomorrow.

i appreciate fatsal's and your work, and if you want me to test some builds just pm me.

Keep up the good work!;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ahmedsalem89:
so the latest build that has WIFI doesn't work on the Xperia yet?

@roitl: after Booting back to windows, were u able to install applicayions and games??
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Bombenbach:
aha. If fatsal's build works (regardless how old), could you try renaming fatsal's ubuntu.ext2 to something like ubuntu.old and then copying Rhobuntu's Ubuntu.img to your SD with fatsal's build and renaming to ubuntu.ext2?

If that works, then the problem with Rhobuntu on Xperia should probably be the wrong initrd.gz and/or wrong STARTUP.txt settings

Thanks fatsal and everybody who made this available!

md5sum:

experiences:

so basicly ubuntu gets ip address with wpa2 and dhcp (iwconfig said encryption is off),

but not without encription. (not even associated with access point in iwconfig)

ping www.google.com doesn't work after getting ip. neither browser reach internet.

there are some opening/writing problems with /tmp folder. firefox and xterminal complain about files in it.

i've read through the forum, so i'll look for those keyboard patches (default one was good enough for basics)

My wifi is working but when I try to connect I always get the message

"unable to obtain IP"

When I try to connect through static IP it always says

"AP is not responding"

Maby it´s just a small mistake on my side but I tried nearly evey setting without success :(

Can anybody help me?

Anyway nice work

Solved this Problem :)

Just turn of MAC-filtering

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mcfly666:

At least thats how it works most of the time :)

Hello everyone,

I saw this on xda websit : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045910

That guy managed to install natively a touchscreen oriented version of ubuntu on a HTC phone. I think this is pretty owesome, and i was wondering if it was possible (because guy are adapting roms from HTC) to adapt that to a X1...

Even if it is not natively installed it would be nice!

I have no experience for this, but if it can be possible, I am ready to help.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bahkyp:
No need to help, is done.

Steps I have used to get Debian (Ubuntu's daddy) to run on X1.

(most steps from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=631389)

1. Install debootstrap on a armel computer (mine was a nslug)

2. (2,3,4) Format to fat32/ext2. hda1=fat32, hda2=ext2. Mount sd card.

3. (5) Run debootstrap

4. (7) chroot into newly setup partition. (instead of the adb stuff that I couldn't get to work) fix installation including USB networking and sshd.

5. Get linux kernel with USB and fat32 setup (mine is from may 2010!). If you now apt/sources a Ubuntu distro and distupgrade you should have a ubuntu distro.

6. (9) Boot.

7. install lxde (appears backwards!)

And here's a photo :)

http://mich431.net/img/x1debiansm.jpg

Problems: no recent USB networking kernel. USB had been out of android kernel for a while.

no phone (even after looking at SHR/FSO).

screen reversed (lxde doesn't have X11 rotate).
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] b8e5n:
Sounds very nice, the only thing is that it is not phone friendly...

But maybe it is possible to install some ubuntu applications to help for that. In this, i mean try to adapt unity-2d, or maybe the same used in the link I gave.

Anyway, that's a very good job, i will give a try as soon as possible!

the ubuntu folder must be on root of SD card, and the other files (one is much more than 1GB big) beside the ubuntu folder have to be also directly on root of SD..... than it will work.....

you can grap the keyboard with stylus on the greed square and drag it over the screen. if you klick on the square you can hide it

This is awesome I'm amazed you got it running, not to mention the pretty usable speed. Just about everything seems to work, just haven't managed to find the wifi to get it working, but Ill play with it more later.

I was wondering whether it would be worth trying one of the netbook distros with a larger GUI, might make it easier to use on our tiny high res screen and possibly get 3g data working?.. just a thought. Shame the android project porting is not going so smooth, would be totally insane having a dual boot mobile with android for calls, on the go etc. and ubuntu for full feature pc needs. Cant wait to see where this goes, thanks for all the hard work fatsal.
