open VNC

Whats Working?
USB Host
WiFi
3G
Browser - FireFox
When you've finished shut-down the Linux install then kill the terminal shell and clear memory,
Doesn't seem to close properly from the VNC however this is just the background that remains in the memory, everything unmounts cleanly, and it can't be reopened until the memory is cleared. Since its a CHROOT its opened from the android environment and needs to be killed from the same terminal. You'll see when you shut-down the terminal closes and there are unmount commands in the .sh that are executed upon shut-down.
Its pretty much working, let me know if you have issues.

Cannot Embed video , so this will take you to viddler
NOTE : I am not the developer, just informing you guys of this great app. Also note the beta is FREE. The fial product will be around 7 USD
This looks pretty slick. i will have to try it out.
its quite good if you need Dropbox on Windows Mobile
this apps is FANTASTIC!! i hope it's going to come out a non-beta version
Excellent!!!Many thanks
Anyone has tryed this beta?
works absolutely great..until may 15th..
Gr8! Worx in portrait AND landscape mode!
Wow!! I´ve been looking so long for an dropbox app.
The guys from dropbox always made an app for android or iphone
It works very well on HD2!!
Great Landscape support!
it sure is a great app
Thank you the0ne for this great application.
Is it possible to use in the future Windows SkyDrive? It gives 25GB for free. I can get Skydrive folders in a PC but cannot do this in Windows Mobile. Neither of the plugins available bring a solution.
Thank you again! keep forward
this tool is only for dropbox not for SkyDrive
It's what I wrote. I was asking the developper if it would be possible to add such functionality in the future. The app is called CouldFiles

hmmm.. not working on HP iPaq 6945 (WM5 , 240x240 qvga)
bummer.
Nice app.
Similar to Kinoma Play + Box.net
This is a life saver, only downside is the length of the beta seems to run for a week at a time (presumably to add extra features) one to buy when it exits beta
heehehehehe...I'd pay for the final...
this allows me to start torrents ANYWHERE I GO!!! wooohooo
Are there any plans to release this over the Marketplace?
I'd very much prefer to keep all my purschases organised thought it instead of going manually to each developer's website...
when would this be available for windowsmobile standard devices

NOTES:
This version of Karmic (9.10) Ubuntu was made for desktops. It is not a mobile OS and has no phone/text apps. It runs as a completely separate OS that displays on your phone.
While this OS does run "natively", you can only see the lxde gui through a VNC viewer. The filesystem file stays on your sd card.
Installing with the install script does not fully install the OS to your phone, but rather allows you to boot and run with commands from /system/bin instead of the ones placed in /sdcard/ubuntu
Any changes made can be reversed by typing rm -rf /sdcard/ubuntu in a shell/terminal or deleting that folder from root explorer/astro. While this can do no harm to your phone whatsoever, it can freeze it and hog the cpu completely.
I can guarantee that no one will keep this on his/her phone for more than a week. It is simply proof of concept.
You can view the OS on your computer, but you must use WiFi.
Other similar ports *cough* Vibrant *cough* lack features such as many graphical apps, but this strives to be as fully featured as possible. All apps should run, but don't try to multitask. It's a phone. Not a computer.
This is a thinktank because it's not polished enough for me to flat out call it a release. There are many errors and crappy ways of doing things. If you want to help (I don't expect you to; it's futile and useless) run things from terminal and look at the bugs in the README on the desktop.
Thank you to bubs and st0101 for testing and confirming the ability of this port.
Please don't try this if you can't follow directions or are completely new to command line/linux/android/smartphones/technology
All directions and credits are hardcoded in. If you read the outputs of the commands, you will have no problem. However, a starter's guide is below.
Download ubuntu.zip and unzip it
Mount your sd card to your computer
Copy the ubuntu folder to your sd card *!THIS TAKES UP 2 GIGABYTES!* and it will take a while to copy.
Unmount your sd card, but keep your phone connected to your computer
Open an adb shell (adb shell if you have the binaries installed, ./adb shell in the tools folder of the sdk if you don't have them installed)
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
su (also grant superuser rights on the phone when it pops up)
sh ./ubuntu.sh (errors are common, but you will receive the directions to type 'bootlinux' if everything succeeded)
bootlinux
Follow the directions on screen! To use a command line, [email protected]# means that you have access. To use a gui:
cat gui (and then follow the directions)
Read every readme that you can find
cat gui will give you instructions on how to set up a localhost VNC server with no network lag.

Has any anyone gotten Ubuntu to run on the Samsung galaxy player?
I heard it works on the galaxy s, so shouldn't it work on SGP?
It does work, well, I did Debian anyways. I downloaded linux installer from the market and then followed the directions here
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Android
If you try it, let me know how it goes
This looks awesome! But when i try to follow the instructions for installing the debian shell the link for the Installer Package just takes me to the Android Fanatic homepage instead of where the file is hosted. Could you post the file?
You can use any vnc viewer. Just pick one up at the market.
EDIT: Linux installer does that part for you.

I installed everything and there were no issues but when try to boot into it with linuxchroot it enters chroot and then says "Galoula LinuxInstaller not found or Android Bind is not active!" then gives me a bash shell or something. Not sure where to go from here....

Try boch emulator .
Android Bind
Im not 100% sure but I think there was something about Android Bind in the setup menu. Try reinstalling with that option enabled
Tried bochs and I actually had the same problem with Redhat with it becoming a bash shell instead of a UI.

Tried the option and still gives me the same error. I'm using terminal emulator to execute "linuxchroot" if that might be a problem. Everything seems to be correctly installed so I'm not sure what i could be missing. What is supposed to happen after you type "linuxchroot" into the terminal?
Made a small screenshot for you

Just a few lines and then youre in debian/ubuntu/whatever...
Used Debian 6 cause I heard thats the best choice.
My setup:
+"Install in a block device" and "Use loop file" checked
+Debian 6 (squeeze)
+Domain name "localhost"
+Loop file location "/mnt/sdcard/Linux.loop"
+1200MB loop filesize
+Allow write to system checked
Its important that u prevent your device from turning off/going to standby mode, cause that could interrupt your installation or your wlan connection.
Then just press that buttons one by one:
Create target loop => Format target loop => Mount loop => Install in loop => Install linuxchroot script.
After that, just type linuxchroot in your favourite terminal emulator and youre good 2 go
//Read youre post again and looked at my screenshot and found out that everything is ok for you xD You are already in Ubuntu! In that bash thingy, You can now install your stuff and do everything you want to
//That bash prompt is normal! To get a UI, you have to install a VNC server like tightvncserver. Then just start it, install a client on your Android like android-vnc-viewer and connect to the Server.

O OK! Thank you so much for your help! I'm new to Linux so I'm still working on understanding how it all works.
I am currently trying to run Ubuntu chrooted and I all I get when I connect to the chrooted session through any vnc viewer is a blank grey screen with a small x in the middle. I"m using Complete Linux Installer from the market. I have tried with CM7, Nottachtrix, and Neutrino. They all give me the same result. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

P.S. I typed exit AFTER taking the previous two screebshots.
you have to change the VNC geometry to the same res and colour as your screen.. ie 960x540 with 16/24bit colours (not 100% sure about the colours) make sure to delete you previous vnc sessions as they for some reason clash with the new ones
I have already been using those settings. Thanks anyways

I don't know if I should be glad or scared that such a great dev like you can't figure it out either. x]
What I do know is that the problem lies somewhere on the Ubuntu side since I was able to connect to my brothers laptop through VNC.
If you are using tightvncserver you should edit the xstartup file in the .vnc folder to include the startup script for whatever window manager you want to run. For xfce, you would add
startxfce4
to the bottom of the xstartup file.
The xstartup file is only going to exist once you have ran the server once.
This is happening because tightvncserver cannot automatically guess what window manager you want to run.
above post is correct.. the black screen with X is usually a problem with "X" in u know what i mean... if you havnt started any desktop environments then you would get this error..
PS. please do tell me if you get it to work if the keyboard works properly... i have ubuntu running on my Dell Streak but the keyboard mapping is all wrong and i havnt been able to fix the problem, i really dont want to remap all the keys manually

Where exactly is the xstartup file? I was about to mount the img on Ubuntu. I just couldnt find the xstartup file. If it was in the root folder, I was unable to open it because of some permission denied error I kept getting.

Have you tried using a different VNC viewer app? Or changing the language in Ubuntu? It might have changed to some other language.
U need to chmod 775 the startx file
Yea I've tried all the vnc viewer it's all the same.

You can not access your android system files by just connecting phone with USB cable.
You can run a FTP or SSH server on your phone and then connect your phone with a FTP or SFTP client. You can transfer files with phone.
I run sshdroid on my phone for ssh server and connect with winscp from my PC.
