[HD2 Ubuntu Development] en!gma:
This is a good effort, but being unable to restore the overlay is a deal-breaker for me.

Also, the mouse orientation at the login screen (not the lock screen) is incorrect, which makes shutting down a hassle.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nkhs9412235:
Sorry for my poor English.:o

Could you say again in other way?

-----------------------------------------------------------

I just put files that I downloaded on my Micro SD,and boot it.

which radio version and rom do you have?

and for the person who asked woud this work on samsung omnia 2 i think no this is only for the hd2 because they have totaly different hardware chekout the i8000 forum and if you want thios badly than try it :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] :
This can not be working in omnia i8000 because the kernel has developed for HD2 ONLY......

Try to flash a new Radio or a new ROM.... Recommended Radio >2.08.XXXX
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Spirit81:
i am using 2.15.50.14, before that i used 2.14.50.x without problems,

Hi everyone,

I've been running Ubuntu v0.2 on my HD2 a few months ago. I'm currently running Android as my main OS. Is it possible to boot Ubuntu from within Android?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nkhs9412235:
In the read me.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Spirit81:
tried with 2.08.50.05

without success... :(

well, going back to 2.15.50.xx
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bloodychaos:
Currently downloading it as I'm typing this.

So, here's a little question. Which is the minimum class for the microSDHC do I need in order to run it smoothly? Class 2 or 4?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] TheATHEiST:
There is no minimum, Just make sure its formatted correctly with this and choose FULL format with ERASE ON.

What so you want to boot windows up, then boot android up and then boot ubuntu up? whats the point?

The answer is no. You can however put both ubuntu and Andoid on your card and choose which one you want to boot. You can also use EBL for autobooting.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] laithnkirk:
hey mate i don't know if it is in the read me or in somewhere else all i know that i went to the :

1:system

2:update package

3:internet

4:all

5:Flash

when i want to install it i got the authorization message which wants me to type a password so what is the password it is not Ubuntu

and for god sake where is the @ !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My HD2 gone for service,

cant wait to try this build..
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bloodychaos:
Aha, thanks for the clarification! First time I tried Ubuntu on my HD2 couple of months back, it didn't work in my class 2 microSD. Read somewhere it needs at least class 4 to work. Then again, it might be really outdated info since I haven't been following the Ubuntu build for quite a while.

This just had to be released while I was on my vacation away from my HD2, didn't it? ;) Can't wait to try it out..will probably release a video soon too.

Nice work dcordes!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] darren211:
what its used?? thanks..
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] ng-gdata:
during startup it says: reboot in 5 seconds...well and then it reboots ;)

Any idea what might be the cause? Radio? sd-card?

Radio version: 2.15.50.14 (works with android)

SD card: 8GB Class 2
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bloodychaos:
I have radio 2.15.50.14 and a 8GB Class 2 sdcard as well, but I was able to boot, though I'm using Energy Rom. But it didn't have the interface from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10120043&postcount=33.

You can try backup your stuff, format the card and just put in the linux folder, that's what I did
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Hund:
I'll help seeding with my 100 Mbit. :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bloodychaos:
I think unlike nkhs9412235 who got the whole interface like his image below...

some of us are getting the one below, just desktop without interface (it's blurry, and I don't have a better camera, sorry). I don't think I made any mistakes but yeah...maybe it should be looked into.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bhilgeman:
you need to put the linux folder on the root of your sd not the contents of the linux folder.

Tried hitting that icon before, still didn't work. Also reboot it a couple of times. Let me format the card and try again
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Big Dawg 23:
What Energy rom? I can not get it to boot up. It will start then reboot the phone. I have Energy Rom(latest) with 8GB Class 2 with Radio 2.10.50.26.

Any suggestions?

I have uploaded a video,please go here.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bloodychaos:
Got myself the 28244 touch of glass build, with 2.15.50.14 radio. Try formatting your card and copy over only the linux folder and its contents. It worked for me. Even managed to get the interface :D up and running.

I was able to surf the net, though oddly enough, can't make any phonecalls *shrugs*
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dusan22:
Great job for the devs making this possible :)

I too would love bluetooth enabled. I understand that this would be a major obstacle, since linux drivers for the HD2 (hardware input/output peripherals) are not available :-( It would be great to roam the "desktop" with a bluetooth mouse :rolleyes:
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Big Dawg 23:
Thank you. The third reformat did the trick. Got it up and running.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dusan22:
Launch it manually (execute haret.exe from within a file manager) - don't use any launcher. And make sure that your Ubuntu is in the "linux" folder on root of your SD card (don't rename it)

had the same problem, but this fixes everything ;-)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] stoolzo:
That worked but when I rebooted keyboard was sat in front, when I hid the keyboard it hid the gui and it wouldnt come back up.

Too buggy to be useful at this stage, impossible to get into menus and use generally as mouse pointer is all over the place.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Luke3113:
Just installed it and after restarting I got the menu...

Now I tried connecting a mouse with a (self-built) Y-cable.

The Y-cable worked perfectly ond the v0.2, but now it seems to have problems...

I connected everything (1 to the computer, 1 to the mouse, 1 to the hd2) like I did with v0.2, started the phone, started haret, but it just doesn't recognize my mouse... why? It recognize the power and runs on external power, but my mouse just doesn't work...

Am I doing it properly?

Thanks for your help...
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] t76sTaNg:
how the hell does this download work? im confused with this torrent stuff never done it before can someone lead me?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Luke3113:
Just download uTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com) - install it and double click on the torrent-file.

Choose a destination and confirm the download.

You will now download the build from other users (seeders), but you will also share some parts and upload them to other peers.

OR:

Use the mirrors you'll find in this thread (like the darkstone's one)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Troji:
exactly the same here I even used a usb hub with no luck ... i see that this 0.3 is not official and only a modification to its user interface lets call it 0.2.1 :rolleyes:
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dragos193:
sorry for my noobish question .. but , if i have an android build on my phone can i run this ubuntu ? they don't have any conflict ?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] plopper:
did you change the startup.txt to use the usbhost instead of adb?

put a # before the first "set kernel" and remove it from the middle.

there are major changes if you look in the left top corner beside the clock.

the mouse is indeed a bit buggy, on the first try's it did work but now moving your finger left-right moves the mouse up-down.

finger up-down results in the pointer going left-right.

can somebody validate this as this happend after i disabled the automatic login from gdm, in the hope to reach a command prompt.

as ctrl-alt-f2 doesn't push gnome away to show the command prompt.

doing a reinstall right now to see if the mouse works again.

plopper
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] plopper:
it runs from the sd card without touching your phone's internal flash mem, so no it shouldn't cause any problems.

you just need a different method of booting.

can't remember how but it's mentioned in this thread on the first couple pages.

After you download it install it on your pc, I dont know to much about mac, go back online and download the hd2_ubunto, and the VUZE torrent will do the rest.

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] matejdro:
@dcordes now that is proper answer post :)

EDIT: yeah the problem was that i renamed folder to Ubuntu instead of leaving linux.

Wifi is not working for me (no network detected), so this build is mostly useless to me since i don't have data plan. Anyway, great job. Everything is smooth and fast. Way faster than i would expect from desktop OS on mobile device.

It's Ubuntu OS for the HD2. Layman's term, it's a OS for a computer, installed in your phone :D

I've tried the OS for a day. And I observed a couple of things, which maybe is just my phone...

-Can't send SMS, although I can receive them

-Can receive calls (sometimes can't receive), but can't hear any sound. I can make calls, but no sound is heard either. Also, the other party can't hear what I said as well. Have tried using headsets as well

-Have to reset the device a couple of time before the interface will show up

-When interface do show up, it at times, closes by itself, leaving behind a plain gnome screen (nice wallpaper btw :))

-Can't install gstreamer mp3 codecs for Rhythmbox ('requires installation of untrusted packages' error). Wanted to try and edit the sources.list and see if I can remedy thing this but I don't have means to connect my phone to a keyboard :(. It's a pain to use the touchscreen keypad for this...
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dusan22:
Untrusted packages can't be downloaded as it seems. How about reserving a custom repository? (only for mobile Ubuntu for HD2 hw architecture)

Then using the Ubuntu update manager all needed "patches" would be downloaded.

Dunno if this can be done... :-/

hey all

I looked into new 0.3 ubuntu version and all I can say it's a little crap :D

but i doesn't mean that the author is crap too. He makes a lot of efforts to make it works :) I really appreciate that :)

However in this ubuntu version, as all can easily see that DOES NOT WORK:

sound,

camera,

calls,

messages out,

open office (i see it's not installed)

What works better:

3g internet connection is better than in 0.2 - is more stable

faster boot

eye candy home screen

What needs to be improved:

All what don't work

shorter password to write on this small keyboard :)

Summing up: It's a good work, but we need more :)

I see in this a huge potential to become daily usage system on HD2, due to stable internet connection and neverending ubuntu potential, but it needs a lot of time,

But, If we would be able to make new section about ubuntu developing it could be much more easier to encourage new developers :)

Am I right?

Any way to use android in a virtual machine on this ubuntu? It could be easy way to quickly jump between these systems :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Ruckzuck78:
thx for that great work ;)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] aSiD1712:
"*KEYPAD

SORRY - OUT OF ORDER !!"

Does this mean the the HD2 hardware keys? Is there a replacement for the Alt key to drag windows?

I can not install anything from software center. Is there any app could be installed on stock V3? What means sudo is configured auto, if it asks password on install should i type ubuntu or nothing or what? It always fails on any software. I restored to stock and tried again with other very small simple apps but i could not install anything. On HD2UbuntuV0.2 it was no problem.

Is there still no virtual machine running on HD2Ubuntu? This could be most interesting. There already great qemu versions on Winmo and Android but without network. I hope for Linux since it is home of qemu and arm cpu models are already running.

Could HD2Ubuntu run on desktop in a virtual machine for testing and setting up?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] pablo71:
I like this Ubuntu build. I am looking forward to the version 4. I think the only things I would need to use this regularly would be:

1.) ability to resize the windows, window elements like close button and sliders - I'd be willing to see less content at once in exchange for being able to operate it.

2.) a much bigger keyboard.

3.) flash player in browser (a lot to ask for)

4.) access to a repository where packages compatible with arm architecture are stored.

5. ) a 'click sound' when I press something so that I know i pressed it.

6.) less of a delay for 'right mouse button simulation' or a 'choose your speed' setting. 3 seconds seems too long.

If version 4 had those things I think that would be all I need. Awesome dcordes and thank you very much.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] aSiD1712:
Pablo can you install software?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] aSiD1712:

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dcordes:
1) Please try the workarounds from post 1 to obtain launcher.

2) Mouse related stuff is part of the operating system.

3) openssh-server runs from bootup as well as usb0 . Please consult readme.txt for steps needed in order to connect remotly via ssh (linux host) or adb (linux or windows host). Are you proposing to route host computer's internet? A good idea. If you have any documentation for me please don't hesitate. But it will be difficult for the windows user.

4) Please detail on this. I see no problem in using the non priviledged user. It seems better to me than browsing the web, chatting etc as root.

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] plopper:
2) by mouse related stuff i ment software that needs a mouse to operate.

1/4) i managed to get those workarounds to go, that wasn't the problem.

but whenever i try to launch anything with the launcher i get errors like "could not execute "USB NET": failed to execute child process "sudo" (input/output error).

(4: this gave me the idea of the possible access rights.

i do agree that having a non priviledged user is indeed safer/better, would be damn stupid to disagree, but it makes life during development a bit easier.

first make it work and then make it secure.)

same for the lock/keyboard and clock icons at the top right.

opening a folder under files display's an error to, no aplication is registered to handle this file (mime error?).

opening games closes the launcher.

3) you got me there, i was too eager to try, and then i read faster then my mind can handle.

aka i read over things.

but i do have a connection now, that means i can ping and do a port scan on the phone.

i can indeed see that sshd is running and open for connections.

just recieved and send some sms-es and something funny happend to the keyboard, it changed size 3 times now.

1 before (standard size), 1 during (it became higher) and 1 after sending (original hight just now it's wider).

but it does work.

And can I use a BT mouse for MAC or usb mouse for windows?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] jameschurchman:
ok great -- i look forward to screen rotation in the future :-)

one thing i have tried and cant seem to do is get VNC going!

this would be a huge help, i have followed a few instruction on the net for the inbuilt one and x11vnc but my vnc client cant seem to connect (says connection refused)

anybody know how to get it working? be amazing to set the thing up initially on my full sized screen, keyboard and mouse!

/etc/apt/sources.list

the ubuntu forum forwarded me to the debian repository (ubuntu is based on debian and it should be able to use all there packages).

and the arm packages, when available are beside the i386 packages.

click here for an example on how it might look like.

just not sure if those armel packages are the same as arm.

can't check it yet tho, see my previous post.

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] plopper:
just did something stupid but interesting.

do not repeat this unless you have a working ssh connection.

you loose the keyboard so you can't do a normal shutdown.

by using ctrl-alt-F2 i jumped to the shell and notiched a load of I/O errors, and error -110 sending read/write command on the card.

attempting a ssh connection shoots out even more errors, -5 transfering data and -110, flushing data.

unplugging usb gives and ext2 read error.

should make pictures of this i guess, but no camera around at the moment.

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] plopper:
check if you moved the complete linux folder to the root of the sd card and not just the files.

it shouldn't ask for 1.

firewall maby?

check with nmap (a really good portscanner) what it says.

3 options:

open - vnc client fails.

closed - vnc server not running.

filtered - vnc server running but firewall blocking the port.

beside the clock and battery icon in the top left you see a white and black icon which looks like the ordinary gsm reception icon found on any other phone.

click that to see the phone/sms options.

but so far there is no sound in the phone (driver issues).

no bluetooth drivers == no bluetooth functionality.
