[Q] Terminal via ssh INTO galaxy issues - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I connect to my Galaxy using ssh from my Linux (or Mac) computer terminal it works fine.
I use bash (I downloaded bash 3.2 for Android) and Nano editor.
However the nano editor issues an error 'error opening terminal xtern'
I use DroidSSH as root which goes to the default dir
/data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid/home
I put a .profile in that dir with
Code:
#!/bin/sh
export TERM=xterm
bash
which works fine at login (it sets indeed that TERM variable and starts bash on the Galaxy.
Everything works (great !!) except nano.
Both on the gnome Terminal (Ubuntu) and on Mac OSX Lion 'Terminal'.
And sometimes the terminal also responds sloy sometimes 2 seconds after a character has been typed.
Does anybody have ideas ?

[Q] Android Emulator: edit hosts file doesn't resolve custom domain name

Halo All,
I'm developing a mobile website and I want to see how it looks in Android Simulator.
I manage to edit my android's /etc/hosts file. Here's what I did:
1. Create an Android Virtual Device (AVD)
2. Open the AVD with this command
Code:
./emulator -avd android -partition-size 128
3. Execute the following commands
Code:
./adb remount
4. Get the android hosts file
Code:
./adb pull /etc/hosts
5. Add my mobile website into the android's hosts file. It looks like the following
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
172.19.14.46 m.myweb.localhost
6. Push the hosts file to the simulator
Code:
./adb push hosts /etc/hosts
7. Open the web mobile in the simulator and Host do not found. The web mobile should appear.
Did I miss something here?
Btw I use Ubuntu 10.10 and android-sdk_r08-linux_86 API 7 (Android SDK 2.1)
It's been 2 days and no reply. I wonder whether the question is confusing to understand or it cannot be replicated.
FYI, m.myweb.localhost is a virtual host running in my local machine.
found a solution for this problem?
spending the whole ****ing day with it -.-
yes, you can change name it?

[TUTORIAL] Run Ubuntu 10.10 on Nexus One

Run Ubuntu 10.10 on Nexus One
--------------------------------
Background:
In June 2010, XDA zedomax got Ubuntu 9.04 running on Nexus One, tutorial is available at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718952
I continued studying the tutorial and worked out a way to make Ubuntu 9.04 running better, smoother and cause less error, here's my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815532
Recently HTC_Linux team has released version 0.3 of their Ubuntu image, compare to the original guide provided by zedomax, the v0.3 release is based on the latest Ubuntu 10.10. So I thought about making this tutorial to guide you to run Ubuntu 10.10 on your Nexus One.
--------------------------------
What benefits will you get from running Ubuntu 10.10 on Nexus One (at least):
1. Fully functional Linux terminal, with all standard Linux command line utilities
2. Fully functional desktop browser Firefox 3.6.13
3. Ability to compile and run native Linux applications
4. Bunch of graphical Internet and utility applications as shown in the screenshots
--------------------------------
Credit:
Thanks to the great XDA-developers community.
Thanks to Zedomax for providing the original tutorial of running Ubuntu on Nexus One.
Thanks to HTC_Linux team for creating the optimised Ubuntu 10.10 image file.
--------------------------------
Now the tutorial starts.
Preparation:
1. A micro SD card at least 4GB in capacity, 8GB/16GB is recommended
2. (Optional) If you're using Froyo App2SD, move all your applications which are on SD card back to Internal Storage, or you may also uninstall all applications that are on SD card. If you fail to do so, you won't be able to enter Ubuntu. However I've discovered a way that you won't need to move or uninstall apps on SD card, will discuss later.
3. Basic Linux shell knowledge
Then:
1. Get Ubuntu 10.10 from this post (file name: hd2-ubuntu_0.3.zip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889433
2. Download attached scripts.zip
3. On your computer, make a directory on a partition that has more than 3.5GB available space, name the directory “ubuntu” (case-sensitive!)
4. Extract three scripts (b, e, u) from scripts.zip to the directory ubuntu
5. Once you finish download hd2-ubuntu_0.3.zip, extract linux/rootfs.ext2 to the directory ubuntu
6. In your ubuntu directory, rename rootfs.ext2 into ubuntu.img (case-sensitive!)
7. Now verify that you have the following files in your computer's ubuntu directory: b, e, u, ubuntu.img
8. Copy the whole ubuntu directory onto your SD card, put the SD card back to your phone
9. Power up your Nexus One
Now we have some script work:
1. Run a terminal application from your phone (e.g. Android Terminal, Better Terminal Emulator)
2. type “cd /sdcard/ubuntu” (enter)
3. type “sh u” (enter)
4. If you see “Type 'b' to boot Ubuntu”, then you're almost there!
5. Type “b” (enter)
6. If you see “[email protected]:/#” (like shown in screenshot) Congratulations! Now you're running Ubuntu 10.10 on your Nexus One!
Whenever you want to enter Ubuntu again, simply type “b” (enter) in your Android Terminal.
To properly exit from Ubuntu, you must type “exit” from Ubuntu terminal.
If your Android terminal application gets killed by Android system (i.e. you lost Ubuntu terminal), you need to go back to Android terminal, type “e” (enter), that will properly unmount Ubuntu.
Very often that you can get “loop device busy” error when exiting from Ubuntu, in that case, type “e” (enter) multiple times (it's harmless to run “e” script multiple times, don't worry). If still you get “loop device busy” error, don't worry, ignore it then.
--------------------------------
(Optional) If you would prefer working with GUI, now let's do some extra script work:
1. Install “android-vnc-viewer” from Market (freeware)
2. Enter Ubuntu terminal
3. Make sure that you have network connection (Wi-fi recommended)
4. type “apt-get update” (enter), and wait till it finishes
5. type “apt-get install tightvncserver” (enter) and answer “y” to the question
6. After installed tightvncserver, type “cd /bin” (enter)
7. Type the following commands (all are case-sensitive!):
“cat > x” (enter)
“rm -r -f /tmp” (enter)
“mkdir /tmp” (enter)
“chmod 777 /tmp” (enter)
“export USER=root” (enter)
“export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1” (enter)
“vncserver -geometry 1024x800” (enter)
(enter)
(press and hold trackball and click D on keyboard)
“chmod 777 x” (enter)
8. The above procedure makes a script named “x”, whenever you want to start GUI, you need to type “x” (enter).
Notice that the first time (only the first time) you run “x” script you'll be prompt to enter a password for VNC connection, then you'll be asked whether to create a “view-only” password, since it is not necessary, answer “n” to the question.
9. Start “android-vnc-viewer”, create a new connection with the following settings:
Nickname: (anything you like to identify the connection)
Password: the VNC connection password that you created when ran the “x”script
Address: localhost
Port: 5901
Color format: 24-bit color (4 bpp)
Click “Connect” button, and in about a minute, you'll see your Ubuntu 10.10 desktop!
10. We still need to create one final script called “s”, now go back to your Ubuntu terminal and type:
“cd /bin” (enter)
“cat > s” (enter)
“export USER=root” (enter)
“vncserver -kill :1” (enter)
“vncserver -kill :2” (enter)
“sudo reboot” (enter)
“sudo halt” (enter)
(enter)
(press and hold trackball and click “D” on keyboard)
“chmod 777 s” (enter)
11. If you have GUI running, you * MUST * type “s” (enter) to stop VNC server before you exit from Ubuntu terminal!
In case that your Android kills your Android Terminal application and you still have VNC server running, do the following steps:
a. Start Android Terminal
b. type “b” (enter) to bring back Ubuntu terminal
c. type “s” (enter) to stop VNC server
d. type “exit” (enter) to exit from Ubuntu terminal
Fail to do so you will have problem with VNC connection next time you use it.
--------------------------------
What are not working in Ubuntu:
1. Sound
2. Some applications may not run (I guess, due to Android memory management mechanism)
--------------------------------
A little trick to access SD card from your Ubuntu:
1. Install “SwiFTP” from Market (freeware)
2. Set up FTP server using SwiFTP
3. In Ubuntu, “Places → Connect to Server” then:
Service type: FTP (with login)
Server: localhost
Port: (port number specified in SwiFTP, default is 2121)
Folder: /
User Name: (user name specified in SwiFTP)
Then press “Connect” and enter your password specified in SwiFTP. Now feel free to access your phone's file system!
--------------------------------
How to bring up Ubuntu if you have applications installed on SD card using Froyo App2SD:
1. Make sure that your Android Terminal application is installed in Internal Storage
2. Put a shortcut to Android Terminal application on your home screen
3. Make sure you have got ubuntu directory and all its contents on SD card
4. Reboot your phone (stay sharp, these following steps require perfect timing!)
5. Once you enter lock screen, Immediately unlock it.
6. Enter Android Terminal and type “b” as quick as possible, do not press Enter yet!
7. Pay close attention to your notification bar, as soon as the “SD: Checking for errors” notification disappears (the little SD icon disappears), Immediately press Enter.
8. Now you should be in Ubuntu terminal, wait 1-2 minutes before you do anything else.
9. After 1-2 minutes, you may do whatever you want.
With some applications installed on SD card, you must do the procedure above to bring up Ubuntu terminal each time you reboot your phone.
--------------------------------
That's it! Thank you for reading this tutorial. Please feel free to make any comment or ask any question!
Awesome. I'll be trying this out as soon as I get a larger SD card. It would be great if you could upload a .zip with all of the scripts, downloads, etc. already placed in one folder; that would make it a lot easier.
Thx U for this Tutorial....it was really helpful...Can u fix the adobe flash thing...i know that sound will not work but just wondering if it can be installed.

Adobe Flash has no support for ARM architecture.. sorry, there's no way to install Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox on Ubuntu ARM.
OMG Im abt to die. Transfering the folder to my sd card takes 20 min. I really nid to get a better memory card (higher speed). SIGH..
Works nice on my N1 running MIUI 12.24..
BTW I have a question, if I wipe my phone(data,cache).. Would I need to perform any steps then?

If you re-installed a rom (i.e. /system partition gets rewritten)
You'll need to execute the following commands on Android Terminal:
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh u
then type "b" to enter Ubuntu terminal
Happy New Year!
Hey,
In the OP you mention that some apps will not run because of the memory management? Is there a size threshold that this is start to be seen at or is it totally random on which things run/don't?
Thanks

I'm not very familiar with Linux kernel so sorry I can't give an accurate explanation
According to my observation, many applications in the Ubuntu 10.10 can successfully start (program title appears in task bar) but immediately they turn off by themselves.
And it seems to me that all those applications share a same characteristic: they're relatively bigger than others. For example, Terminal runs, Dictionary runs, Firefox runs, but Ubuntu Software Centre won't run.
So my guess is ... Android system would not allocate too much memory for an application in Ubuntu, thus they get killed before they could start.
I'll give this a one thumb up, because I got it working, got to play around a bit... it looks really nice... but I did a reboot of my phone after shutting it down properly, and now everytime I try to launch ubuntu again, I get a bunch of errors.
I've tried just about everything.... restoring to my nand backup I did before trying this, deleting the files off the sdcard and on my system relating to this, tried to set everything back up... but I still get errors and I can't get past them, even with trying "e" in the term.
FWIW, I'm on CM 6.1.1 and I do use DTa2sd with plenty of space left on all partitions. Here's a pastebin of my errors : http://pastebin.com/adCQ62iF

Could you please go to Settings-> Application Settings-> Manage Applications-> on SD card and confirm there is no application on SD card?
Also please make sure you execute "b" after "Checking for Errors" notification disappears.
Running this distro does that mean i can use firesheep on my n1?

According to my study Firesheep would require WinPcap to work, WinPcap is only available for Windows so unfortunately you can't use it.

I notice battery drains 2-3 mAh more when Ubuntu is idle, when actually using Ubuntu I notice 30-40mAh higher current draw. So actually it's not much
hey thanx houzuoguo,
working great on my n1....!!
is there any solution for the sound to run...??
I cant seem to get any of the "cat >" letters to work, it just hangs in the terminal.

Firesheep works in Ubuntu, you just have to compile it yourself.
1) Download the required dependencies:
Code:
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libpcap-dev libboost-all-dev libhal-dev xulrunner-1.9.2-dev
2) Install git:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git
3) Download the Firesheep source:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep.git
4) Change to the Firesheep directory:
Code:
cd firesheep
5) Initialize it:
Code:
git submodule update --init
6) Compile it:
Code:
./autogen.sh && make
7) You'll find the file in the build directory.

Not to threadjack or anything of the sort but:
Does the above method work on getting firesheep installed on a n1 running ubuntu or is this just the way to install it assuming your running on normal hardware?
Second question, what is the resulting file?
Thanks,
Which terminal application are you using, and did you type the "cat >" on screen keyboard or copy&paste?

[Q] Compiled source for android

Hi all
Im using Galaxy Mini (Android 2.3.6) and have installed Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty via Linux Installer. Using(on phone) Ubuntu and cx_Freeze i can compile Python scripts to source code(for armv6l) and install it (on Ubuntu) and it works well but when i move it to Android and run command from Terminal Emulator im getting toast with message root get administrator privileages(a few times) to time when shows superuser force update, phone getting laggy and i must take off battery and turn it on again.
directory tree of source files:
--------------------------------------
usr(dir)
----bin(dir)
--------print(file, run print from /usr/lib/print-0.1/ dir)
----lib(dir)
--------print-0.1(dir)
------------*.so(files)
------------*.zip(archive with freezed Python libs)
------------print(file)
--------------------------------------
and files in /system/xbin/
print file
--------------------------------------
#!/system/bin/sh
su -c "/system/xbin/print.sh"
--------------------------------------
print.sh file
--------------------------------------
#!/system/bin/sh
export print="/usr/bin/print"
print
--------------------------------------
My Questions:
1. Why it not works while files are compiled on armv6l to armv6l processor?
2. Can i somehow make that works?(How? or Why?)
3. Is there a way to make linux gui for android?(Why?)

Java TightVNC Viewer on Stock Webtop

So I figured out that you can run a Java based VNC Viewer (more specifically, I used TightVNC for both server and viewer) in the stock webtop to remotely control other machines. Remote apps are the best way to increase functionality of the phone/webtop when on wifi at home/work IMO.
The issue to overcome is getting Java to work in Firefox, there are a few topics already about this, but the information is a bit scattered and slightly outdated.
There is one downfall to this: The VNC window will not cover the app tray or notification bar at the top of the webtop display, so there is a limiting resolution you can use to login to the VNC server.
What you need:
1. Rooted phone
2. ES File Explorer or Root Explorer App
3. Terminal Emulator App
4. Java Download
I installed this version:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/downloads/ejre-6u32-downloads-1595958.html
ARMv7 Linux - Headful
There is a newer version (java 7),but I'm sticking with version 6 since I know it works.
5. A PC with TightVNC Server installed (or other VNC server with a Java based viewer). I would suggest running a headless virtual machine (with like VirtualBox), it makes it a lot easier to adjust the screen resolution to your needs. You can read here on my post about getting a VirtualMachine running and connecting your phone to it for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650534
To Get Java Installed:
1. Download and extract the Java download. Once extracted, copy the whole ejre1.6.0_32 folder to /usr/lib/ using your favorite android file explorer with root access.
2. I did this step with webtop open,so you can copy and paste these commands inside the Terminal Emulator (make sure it has Super User access):
Code:
su
rm /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libnpjp2.so
ln -s /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_32/lib/arm/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libnpjp2.so
chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_32/bin/java
chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_32/bin/java_vm
chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_32/bin/javaws
chmod 755 /usr/lib/ejre1.6.0_32/bin/keytool
3. For kicks,reboot the phone and see if it works (go here to verify: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp ). If it works,skip to step 5
4. Copy these commands into Terminal Emulator
Code:
su
mv /osh/etc/tomoyo/exception_policy.conf /osh/etc/tomoyo/exception_policy.bak
mv /osh/etc/tomoyo/domain_policy.conf /osh/etc/tomoyo/domain_policy.bak
/bin/touch /osh/etc/tomoyo/exception_policy.conf
/bin/touch /osh/etc/tomoyo/domain_policy.conf
Reboot the phone again,then try verifying it works or not with the link posted in the above step.
5. The hard part is over,you ave Java installed!
Now if Java is working properly,and if your VNC server is configured properly as well,you should be able to connect to it. By default TightVNC enables the Java Viewer on port 5800. So just type in the IP address of the server in Firefox,like:
192.168.2.99:5800
Type in your password,then you should be looking at the other desktop
6. For best practice,its good to set the resolution to the PC you are remoting into,to the max viewable resolution of the laptop dock (or PC/Monitor). This is a lot easier when using a headless VM,since doing custom resolutions otherwise can be a pain.
I will edit this line tomorrow after I get to work to see what I set the resolution at so it fits without scrolling
Thread References:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17755644&postcount=40
I somehow was able to get AWN Manager to work on my install,and was able to set it so maximized windows can cover it up (which also requires you to right click on the title bar of the window and click Always On Top).
Long story short,I can now use the Java VM with a max res of 1364x686
There is a pixel on each side of the window,and the menu/title/status bars are still at the top of the screen.
It beats the phone's resolution stretched out in any case.

[Guide] Linux on Wear OS!

THIS IS ONLY TESTED IN WEAR OS 3 ON A GALAXY WATCH 4
THOUGH THIS SHOULD WORK ON ALL WATCHES AND OLDER VERSIONS OF WEAR OS
Requirements:
ADB installed on your computer
Have your wear OS device connected to the same network as you computer
A bit of patience, this works in a very weird way!
Downloading apks and installing them
Firstly enable adb and adb debugging over WiFi on your wear OS device
Then download the latest apks:
Termux
MultiVnc If you want a graphical environment on Linux
When you have the apks run these commands:
Code:
adb connect IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE
You might be able to see your ip under the button for enabling adb debugging over wifi
Then run these commands in the downloads folder
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_TERMUX_APK_FILE
and
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_MULTI-VNC_APK_FILE
BE AWARE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO RESTART THE ADB CONNECTION, SOMETIMES IT MAY FREEZE.
to do that run
Code:
adb disconnect
then
Code:
adb connect IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE
Installing Linux in Termux
Stay awake sleepyhead!
To make everything easier enable the option in Termux to keep your watch awake, this will save you from so much trouble.
First open up Termux, then long press the black background.
Then press the three dots and choose the option "More...".
Scroll down until you see the option "Keep screen on", turn on that.
Keyboard?
I've discovered that there's a problem with Wear OS keyboards, for some reason they might not interact properly with certain android applications.
So open up Termux in your Wear OS device and see if you can write anything in Termux.
If that works, see if there's any enter button on your keyboard and see if it works.
If Termux gave any response to what you entered then skip this part and head straight for "The Linux multiverse!"
If the enter button doesn't work then you gotta install an android keyboard.
The best keyboard I've found that also works on round Wear OS devices is "Unexpected keyboard"
Download the keyboard and run:
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_KEYBOARD_APK_FILE
When the keyboard is installed change you default keyboard into the previously installed keyboard.
The Linux multiverse!
On your ANDROID PHONE install Andronix.
In there you will have a lot of options for installing Linux on Termux. You can choose whatever you want!
When you've chosen what you want, then Andronix will copy a command to your phones clipboard.
Oh no!
This is where you might only have a few options!
The problems is that you have to get the command from your phone to your Wear OS device, though your Wear OS device might not even let you copy and paste!
Though there is a way to bypass this, ANDROID APPS! The easiest way is to install messenger lite(not messenger for Wear OS).
First download Messenger lite. (source for the messenger download link)
Then In the downloads folder run:
Code:
adb -s " IP_OF_YOUR_WEAR_OS_DEVICE" install NAME_OF_THE_DOWNLOADED_MESSENGER_APK_FILE
Log into messenger on your phone and your Wear OS device.
On your phone send the command Andronix gave you, to yourself in messenger.
Then open up messenger on your Wear OS device and long press the command and select copy!
Now the biggest hassle is gone!
The long, really long awakening
Now that you've copied the command, enter Termux. Then long press the black background and press paste.
NOW DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, so that you don't accidentally change anything in the command.
From your computer run:
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
Try to remember this command, or put it somewhere easy to copy. You'll need it pretty often. (this command serves as an enter button)
The installation of Linux will now begin, there will be some Y/N questions, just choose the default options by running:
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
After a while you might get questions about region, keyboard and such.
use
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
to scroll down when it says [MORE]
then use
Code:
adb shell input text "NUMBER/WORD"
(don't remove the parentheses)
then again use
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
as an enter button
It might also ask you for a vnc password, choose a small and easy password.
FINALLY LINUX!
You should now have Linux installed on your Wear Os device. Go do whatever you want with it.
Just remember that your Wear OS device uses arm, so if you wanna use x86 applications, then you gotta use Box64 if you have a 64-bit processor and Box86 if you have a 32-bit processor
Start Linux(Linux might automatically start after installation)
First run:
Code:
adb shell input text "ls"
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
This will run the ls command.
Look for a file closely name to start-SOME_LINUX_DISTRO.sh or start-andronix.sh
then run:
Code:
adb shell input text "./start-SOME_LINUX_DISTRO"
then
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
BOOM Linux is now running :3
What about GUI?
If you installed a Linux version with a graphical interface then you either gotta use a VNC to display anything on your watch
run
Code:
adb shell input text "vncserver-start"
then
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 66
