@fire314

Any chance to perform the same with backtrack distrib or a more minimalistic one?

What about doing the same with another "android rom img" as a virtual environment to test different roms? (i'm actually trying to do so)

Edit:

Thanks for the .sh

can you use wine on it to emulate windows programs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ttf:
I think it can be done ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fire314:
Yep - it's full blown Ubuntu so Wine will work fine! But because it's using VNC sound doesn't work...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maranevim:
well, mine doesent work

it just writes down all the messages and thats it :) dunno why :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] benoitb85:
Your CPU uses an ARM architecture. As far as I know, win32 binaries are compiled for x86 or x64 so you won't get any windows binaries running through wine on Linux on ARM.

In short: Wine won't help you run windows programs on your Galaxy.

I just tried to run ubuntu, and i got al the messages within a blink of a eye.

Then tried to connect using 2 VNC programs, and both couldn't connect.

Hi guys!

Has anyone run this version of Ubuntu on dell streak?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mercrapper:
That's the same thing I get on my Telechips X6D tablet. I think it has something to do with the kernel,but I don't know for sure. I don;t know a way around this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pjg_pigeon:
Yes it works on my streak.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mercrapper:
You have to edit the init.rc file inside the ubuntu.img.

There are options in the vncserver startup. I don't have the options off hand, but I'm sure you can find it pretty quickly with google.

Guys,

How can I make hebrew work on this distro without making a new distribution from hebrew edition (which I can not make - knowledge + Linux machine) ?

I've tried searching the web, installing hebrew fonts, made CTL checked, defined hebrew as default CTL, changed VNC apps

NOTHING helps ... everytime I try to type in hebrew, i get gibrish.

Ubuntu on ASUS Transformer?

Hey...

Well I don't know whether this has been discussed earlier or not but is there a way to run Ubuntu on ASUS eeePad Transformer? I think it would be required to root the device before trying this? Can someone provide the detailed steps to do the same?

Regards,

Hi!

I know this is a Galaxy S specific forum, but I'm gonna ask this anyway:

Can I run Ubuntu in this way on my Htc Wildfire or is it too weak to run it?

I've been searching all kinds of threads on this topic, but so far I haven't gotten any answers.

Can it be done on an Arm v6 CPU or does it require arm v7?

I wanted to have full desktop computer in my pocket for ages now, just for basic office work.

That means, working Office, internet and bluetooth keyboard (a mouse would also be cool)

So far I've been using a Nokia n95 with the Freedom bluetooth

keyboard, and office works great, but by today's standards it's a dinosaur :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] madcatmk2:
Same here. Lost 3 hours of my evening.

Edit: Whoops, it just decided to download properly. Keep trying i guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mhv2261991:
For anyone wondering, this is crazy easy...

Preinstallation:

1) Download all the files from here: (Please add to OP as a mirror)

2) Put them into a folder called "ubuntu".

3) Plug your phone in and mount USB.

4) Drag and drop the whole folder onto your sdcard.

5) Open the Android Market and download these apps:

Installation:

1) Open "Android Terminal Emulator"

2) Type in the following commands in order:

$ su
# cd /sdcard/ubuntu
# sh ubuntu.sh

3) Ignore the message and press the home button.

4) Open androidVNC and enter these settings:

5) Press "connect".

6) If it did not connect, wait 5 minutes and try again.

7) Once connected, press the MENU button.

8) Press "Input Mode" and select "Touchpad"

9) Enjoy!

10) When you want to exit entirely, open up Android Terminal Emulator (yes, there will still be text everywhere) and enter the command:

exit

Everytime after doing this the first time, Ubuntu will boot in seconds (literally, faster than I could find my androidVNC app ;P )

Done! but how to fullscreen? I can't change to resolution 1280x800 ...thks

do i drag all 4 files onto sd in ubuntu folder then follow instructions?? or is that wrong????
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mercrapper:
They are actually 4 parts of the same file. Put them in the same folder, then open file 1 with 7-zip and extract. 7-zip will merge all four files and create recreate the archive. Put the extracted.files on the sdcard. Then follow the directions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] walidhazem:
THX bro it worked, I booted successfully :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] quicks2005:
exactly very interesting
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] N4melessS0ldier:
Just so everyone knows Ubuntu is not the only distro you can have on your Samsung Android phone. I'm working on a Fedora 12 filesystem which I actually already released. Only thing is I'm doing it specifically for the SGS4G so that I can get sound working.

(@whoever-said-vnc-stops-you-from-hearing-sound: not at all true. Yes, vnc doesn't send sound over it's protocol. However, your connecting to the same device you're running the vnc client on. Sound works if it's enabled and has the correct kernel module in the Ubuntu or Fedora filesystem)

and I'm definitely not trying to steal the thread from OP (fire314) so if you're interesting search for "[Guide] Installing Fedora 12 on SGS4G" I'm refusing to directly link.

@fire314 : Oh gosh! This is entirely sweet! fire314, congrats on either figuring out the App2SD "problem" or doing enough research to do it quickly. It took me awhile to figure out that I needed to increase the number on the loop device because I don't have any apps on my SD Card :P If I could get permission from you I might want to include some of your bootscript in mine, thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thatguruguy:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Milp:
This is nice, but also very weird to use. Mainly because in the lxde environment, nothing works. I can try to start anything, but only the program menus, the run dialog and the context menus will open. No programs start, all they do is spike the cpu usage for some time. Am i the only one having this problem?

Also could someone please explain me which script is executed from within the chroot environment to start the lxde session? I want to add a sshd, i think my milestone is just too weak for all the lxde stuff. Maybe i'll switch to some other lightweight window manager instead.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thatguruguy:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shinji257:
If the op is ok with it I don't setting up a mirror for those that want to or need an alternate download location.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shinji257:
If anyone is getting the script to just return immediately you may want to change the path in the ubuntu.sh file.

This is what it is now.

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:$PATH

Move $PATH so it's at the beginning like this.

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin

For me what was happening was the script was making the voodoo version of busybox stake precedence over the system one and it was failing to do the chroot step and therefore never loaded anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dsilvan55:
can someone please help me? Ok no matter what I do i cant get the file to open because it says its corrupted even though the md5 is same.

I have tried: 1. removing the 001,002,etc from the end 2. extracting with winzip and 7zip 3. using cmd to combine all the files together as ubuntu.zip but no matter what it is always corrupted
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] WongKit:
Hi dsilvan55,

just open the "ubuntu.zip.001" with 7-Zip and extract its contents. You do not have to open .002 - .004, but they have to be in the same directory like the first part.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] niro nidame:
Help Please! :)

Hey Guys! I have a Galaxy S II and was wondering if anyone got this working? Currently sporting a lite'ning 6.1 rom

In CMD I get upto

WARNING: If you have more than 255 apps installed on the SDCard, then mounting the ubuntu.img will fail

You have to go into settings>(Ect, basically says you need less than 255 applications on the sd card for it to run, i have less across my device)

And ends with

Please wait while booting ubuntu.img. This can take some time ...

Iwas just wondering - How much time? Been running for over twenty minutes with no changes on cmd, how long should it take or will it just not work with galaxy s2 II? Or do I have to be more patient? Thankyou in advance for your replies!

copy ubuntu_01.zip + ubuntu_02.zip + ubuntu_03.zip + ubuntu_04.zip ubuntu.zip
