You're receiving this when trying to mount the ubuntu.img right? I noticed that the sdcard doesnt always mount on the phone right away after it starts up. ls /sdcard/ubuntu/ to double check that it's there and you can see it.

Try a ls /dev/block/loop* and see if you see anything

Edit: Also, try losetup -f It should return /dev/loop0

Edit2: I think I have the answer... Ignore the above junk.

It's not a missing/inaccessible ubuntu.img nor a lack of proper kernel. I tested those scenarios just now (by unmounting the sdcard, and a second test by installing a nandroid backup from before the kernel install) both those situations return "ioctl LOOP_SET_FD failed: Bad file number"

I was able to recreate the error by trying to mount the file when it was already mounted. Try typing mount and hitting enter for a list of mounted devices. Also try ls /data/local/ubuntu to see if the files in the image are accessible.

I made a slightly better video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiuThOzaAIQ

@0:39 - Installing the kernel

@1:57 - Mount as drive then umount to force sdcard to mounted on the phone

@3:50 - Running "sh /sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.sh"

@4:23 - chroot ; cat /etc/issue

@4:40 - apt-get update

@5:05 - starting vncserver

@5:30 - mobile network and wifi off

@5:40 - browser error showing no network connection

@6:00 - connecting to localhost with androidVNC

@7:40 - Desktop fully loaded. Yeah X is that slow. Opening firefox.

@9:20 - firefox fully loaded.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Refot_Sirk:
I don't understand this step. Why is this necessary? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pez252:
It shouldnt be, though i have found often when I first start up my phone ls /sdcard returns nothing until something makes it mount. You could also run mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/ but thats not as accessible to most people.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikmitch:
Success!

I was stuck and was unable to get apt to connect.

I tried again, this time with:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > $mnt/etc/resolv.conf

echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> $mnt/etc/resolv.conf

echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" > $mnt/etc/hosts

right before chroot and it works!

Should only need to run the above once
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
Sorry to bump this, but now that we have nand unlocked what would be the procedure to do this. Also will this only work with regular ubuntu or can we use the netbook remix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
I tried to get this to work and never did. I think it has to do with the fact that froyo uses the loop devices for apps2sd. I originally got the device or resource is busy error and then moved all of my apps back to the phone. Then I got an error that says "cannot setup loop device." It looks like the few that got this working were using eclair and not froyo. I'm not sure s-off even matters.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
That's strange, isn't that blk_loop in kernel configuration? It was not set in config til I did it myself. Thanks for the info.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
ihtfp69:

Yes, when I was using this, I was running eclair. We were able to get it working without s-off thanks to pez252's modified scripts.

Just FYI, contrary to my OP, it turns out that since this version of ubuntu is compiled for ARM architecture, everything you run needs to be compiled for ARM as well....not x86. Adobe doesn't have a version of flash for arm devices, so no hulu or any other flash sites. Also, I never had any audio working either. Network access did work, and I was able to pull up pages with firefox.

Additionally, because of the small screen size, it's very difficult to navigate, not very impressive with speed, and very limited as to what can be accomplished. Forget trying to run aircrack-ng on it.

Maybe some of you devs will have more of a use for it than I did, but in my experiencce playing with ubuntu on eclair, it didn't take long before I abandoned the idea. The whole thing ended up being nothing more than a "proof of concept" for me.

Connecting a bluetooth keyboard and using the tv-out to connect to an external monitor to have a pocket sized PC running ubuntu sounds like a great idea, just not very practical.

Good Luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
You missed the reason for getting this working... It isn't to actually use it, it's similar to running Windows XP on the iPhone... You get it working to say to people "look, I have ubuntu on my phone if I want" And they say "Wow! That's really cool" at which point you never use it again.

Android was made and used for a reason, linux was a great idea for use on a phone, as long as it is modified for a phone... The same reason Windows made Windows Mobile, and didn't just install Windows onto a phone. Of course bragging rights never hurt anyone...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWizKid95:
ok, umm i tried to install this on my droid incredible, and i need some help.

i have a few questions, so if someone can just pm me or we can talk right here for others to use the posts if they have the same problems.

Edit: ok, i worked out some things, but right now, my major problem is that whenever i try to enter the command "sh ./ubuntu.sh" nothing happens until i try to exit adb shell, then the sh process starts occurring in sections every time i try to exit shell

I did try to look it up on the net and its just not clear.. what is froyo? What does it do? Do i have it by default?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
its an upgrade of Android OS - version 2.2 specifically. Stock does not have it yet, there are some customs in the dev that have it mostly working on the evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whoareyou:
Wowwww, froyo is the newest version of android that has only been officialy released on the nexus one via ota update, and no you dont have it by default most likely...check under settings, about phone, software information, android v ersion and if its 2.2 is froyo, if its 2.1 or 2.0 its eclair, but if you tell me what device you have i can tell you if they have a froyo rom for you. ;)

Hi guys,

I am looking for the way to installing Google Earth for my Nexus One (manually 2.2 Froyo updated, FRF91 and not rooted ), have searched on Market but could not find on it.

In another way, I've also checked on Google Earth's official website for manual download but it's said Google Earth is not compatible with my Nexus One ? (I have Adobe Flash 10 running without any problem)

Looking forward to hearing from guys here. Any suggestion is very very appreciated!

I have recently purchased three different holster type cases from various online stores. None of them are sturdy enough. My boyfriend works with steel all day and needs something very secure. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate your opinions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] anwoo:
My suggestion is on a nylon holster, which doesn't break easily.

And for a 2nd layer of protection, get a hardcase for your phone (in the event it drops out, get scratched).

You can try the AmorCase from Verizon, or

Military stores are a good bet as well. The gear should be rugged enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] soraxd:
i had SetCPU installed on my phone, and when the phone would shut the screen off, by timing out or being locked, it wouldnt wake up from sleep.. i know at least one other person this has happened to, but removing SetCPU got rid of that problem.. does anyone know whats up?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheetah2k:
You're lucky. SetCPU didnt even work on my SGS. It just FC'd everytime I loaded it. I didnt have root, which probably accounts for this issue, however it should still load up - just with locked speed setting bars.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bratfink:
I had the exact same problem you have mentioned below. I also get this issue with the autokiller app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
I'm pretty sure that SetCPU won't work with the SGS as things stand, root or not, for changing the clock rate (unless that built-in thingamagig for unlocking HTC phones' clock rates works).

Did you make sure no default profiles were set up when you installed SetCPU that were set to underclock the CPU or do anything else weird when the phone goes to sleep/is idle? That would be a good place to start.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coolbho3000:
If anyone could get me a log (force close/crash) or a /proc/last_kmsg (reset) that would be great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
You, sir, are a credit to this forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndyCr15:
I'm sure someone's probably told me before, but how would we do this?

I installed SetCPU, I have root, but it just FC all the time :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
When rooted setup works fine as long as you just use it for monitoring and don't change the profile
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndyCr15:
Okay, that's odd. It's worked this time, although I did nothing different.

coolbho3000, tell me what I need to do to send a logcat and I'll use profile to see if it crashes. For me, profiles are rather important, when the screen is off I want to limit it to like 200mhz or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] soraxd:
i figured out why SetCPU makes my phone never wake up, the settings i was using was ondemand 100 min 1000 max. SetCPU is set to 100 in standby and this is just too slow and puts the phone completely to sleep.

ive since moved up the phone to 400 min and ive gone a day without any sleeping.

and SetCPU works fine on my phone, and a few friends who have the phone aswell, this was our only problem, and i dont believe it was a problem, its just the way the app is designed, to give full control, leaving the only room for error on our hands..

but still an fyi would be nice lol.. i read the entire huge description of SetCPU, like a half hour read
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
Try setting the scaling to 'ondemand' or 'performance' if it was set to 'conservative' as default (mine was).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coolbho3000:
Logs can be done by getting the Log Collector app from the Android Market. Or, you can plug it into a computer with ADB and run:

adb logcat

I'm interested in the FC crash and why it works for some and not others.

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndyCr15:
In fact, everything seems to work for me too.... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coolbho3000:
I'm especially interested overclocking this thing, as it's the 45nm ARM CPU released in an Android phone en masse. I might get myself a Vibrant if it gets rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
The whole problem is that the default is conservative... changing it will cause phone to freeze.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coolbho3000:
Then change the Freq Step in Advanced to 100%, should have the same effect as ondemand.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndyCr15:
Ahh, I was getting the 'not waking' issue that was mentioned before.

This will fix it not waking? Is this better than making the minumum to be 400mhz?

When it was not waking, I changed all the minimums to 200mhz, but it was still dropping to 100mhz? Why would it do this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
With my phone rooted didn't work on first install, whenever I launched it, it kept crashing so I uninstalled and installed back and it works perfect
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Amatuana:
I went through the whole resetting to factory defaults several times until I determined not coming back from sleeping was setcpu.

I do not think it is a crash problem.

I had the scaling set to ondemand.

Do we know what the minimum CPU speed is for the samsung? I had it on 200 and still had a problem. If I have min at 400 is there a point in using setcpu, because the existing OS will scale for us?

I really loved the product, but I need to feel like we have a more confident answer to this problem.

Kudos to coolbho3000 for a great product. For the avoidance of doubt, I purchased the product.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] All Day On XDA:
I'm having a lot of trouble with this app too...

So I'm returning it until someone can post some settings that work flawlessly
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Any solutions for the waking up problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goyan:
Works fine as long you keep conservative setting. Ondemand just doesn't wake up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nop56773:
I have the same screen off profile problem. Where can I get the logs to help find the problem?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] All Day On XDA:
But can you underclock all the way to 200? I noticed the same issue with OnDemand not waking up. But I get the same issue with the conservative mode unless I keep the minimum clock speed at 400.

But then one has to wonder about how useful the app is in that case.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emelie:
i'm using this configuration

default - 200min 1000max, conservative

profiles:

charging/full - 400min 1000max, conservative, priority 83

screen off - 100min 400max, powersave, priority 50

no problems, saves battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
Your profile works? When your screen is off your device always! use 100 mhz due the powersaving mode. If i use this my phone never wake up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nop56773:
I'm almost sure that I have the same problem: if screen off has minimum cpu less than 400mhz, it never wakes up again.

Anyway, just to confirm, I set my phone to those profiles and i'll report back soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim_panse:
I also try the the powersaving method and will report.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nop56773:
It hasn't crashed yet, so it's definetly working. I'm not 100% sure that it goes into the powersave mode (400/100), but it seems to. Is it possible to check how long the phone has worked in each mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nop56773:
I had a spontaneous reboot an hour ago. It may have been related to SetCPU. I'm back to default settings...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emelie:
ok a little addition to my last report: i also experience the not-waking-up-scenario.

i just changed the screen off profile to this:

200min 400max powersave

let's see what's going to happen to my device in the next hours.

i'm looking forward to reading your reports!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkstar2k77:
I've only gotten SetCPU working on conservative setting. Ondemand & Powersave just doesn't wake up.

Only managed to get screenoff profile working on 200-200mhz conservative.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emelie:
i finally changed my screen off profile to this:

200min 800max conservative

now it's working
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gravejester:
But would this actually save you battery? What if it natively runs at 100 when screen off, then you are "overclocking" the CPU while the screen is off :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K0v4L:
Remove setcpu completely and you'll get better battery life. Just check it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] All Day On XDA:
I can confirm this. Shame really
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jogefo:
What are the perfect setcpu 2.0.3 settings for froyo JP6 I9000 rooted? Thanx in advance :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jogefo:
Thank you for the reply. So on main the set on boot is checked right? How about on advanced do I set on boot as well? Can I insert 100% on freq step as advised on other threads? Of course all disabled on the profiles...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dirn1111:
I don get you guys. For me its find with on demand.

but if you put your max freq too low on screen off it won't turn on.

however I set it 100~400 on demand. works fine
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big_O:
Been all over the forums and in order to flash Amans recovery, Modaco requires a rooted device and superboot. Well, we know superboot isn't available for FRF91 yet and to flash requires root.

How the heck does anybody flash a recovery image without root?

The goal here is to get root and and this point don't really care if the bootloader is locked or unlocked. Just need root access to run certain apps.

Was planning to boot into recovery, then run the passion update for root access, but this is a catch 22.

I was in the same boat as you. I flashed the RA Recovery and although it said it was flashed successfully, when I booted into recovery, i saw the stock recovery. Was on FRF91. So took a gamble and flashed the latest superboot from modoco. Cant remember if it was FRF83 or FRF85B and then reflashed RA recovery. It worked :)

Once in RA recovery I wiped and flashed a cooked ROM.

Well I was on FRF83 then recieved the FRF91 OTA from Google.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big_O:
This bites. There's no clear cut guide how to root. Just bits and pieces of information and a complex labyrinth of instructions. Most of the info is outdated and requires a downgrade, then upgrade, then recovery. The recovery requires root and the whole goal is root lmao. It's no wonder there are almost daily posts of guys trying to root and/or unlock bootloaders but nobody knows how to explain the procedure. The stickies have dead links, and everyone says "hit the search button" and not one person has created a sticky for rooting instructions on the FRF91. I actually downgraded to EPE76 and got stuck due to the inability to upgrade to anything except back to FRF91 AT&T stock.

It would be nice is someone actually took a few minutes to explain a working procedure how to downgrade, upgrade, and use recovery to gain root. Really don't care about the bootloader. Somebody will get rich with paypal donations and I'll be the first to donate.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
just read the sticky for rooting without unlocking bootloader in the android dev section

its up to date. if you unlocked your bootloader, the outdated root guides are fine to use even now. you need to ensure you flash a custom rom so the recovery isnt replaced on reboot
