So ok I found this app on the market called Install Linux...most of it seems to work fine and it can install debian or ubuntu. With minimal work I set it to ubuntu and went through the steps...it mainly worked but then I couldnt connect through connectbot so i used terminal emulator...got a few errors but with a few tries it started, problem is i cant get a gui to load or install...anyone tried this app and gotten it to run? In the app everything looks fine but i dont know linux well, im thinking it works but am missing something stupid, any input is greatly appreciated

Hmm, at least "important update" explains that it's not vnc.
Got to take a closer look at it.
Open androidVNC from your android programs menu.

All the steps seems to be for a linux distro, on a computer..

No he seems to set up VNC server on he's debian on phone and then connect to it from VNC client on he's Android OS.
Just a trick so he doesn't need any special drivers to use debian GUI on he's mobile phone.
Anyway, to install debian shell you need to have firmware that supports LOOP features. I'm not sure if I want to switch amon_ra.
Could anyone recommend such a firmware for HTC Hero?
Try linux img. You will need loop module
Got shell finally working
I need help, either im missing something or none of the bricked threads had the same issue as me. I was trying to flash a different rom onto my phone with TWRP and wiped EVERYTHING, OS and all, and now i cant get android file transfer on my mac to recognize it so i cant put the rom on the phone to flash, and my PC wont recognize its attached.
Anyone know what to do? apparently im a complete moron when it comes to phones lol
thanks in advance
EDIT** i found something about adb sideload but it keeps saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command" in command prompt even tho i installed the android SDK. i feel like im missing something

a sorry didnt see that you are using mac... well then you need to add your adb command to your path variable so bash can find it... should be the same principle on mac as for other operating systems. just google that or execute the command directly from within it's directory so bash can find it.
edit: ah ok then good that it's fixed

Hi all, I want to have JRE installed in my tablet (Archos 101 G9 8GB + MicroSD 32GB Class10) in Android I already know it is completly imposible, but having an other OS is my option, I tryed having Ubuntu in chroot, with ''complete linux installer'' but I didnt used it so much. Then I installed Ubuntu with this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392167
I installed both 0.21 and 1.0 Beta (found in one of the pages, I dont remember what page), but I was having problems with multitouch, and then, I tryed Plasma Active 3, is what I have installed now, I like it because it is 100% compatible, works everything, but, I dont know how mer works, I dont know how to install programs, or if there is JRE for Mer or not, which is what I want.
What do you recomends? come back to Ubuntu and try to solve the multitouch problems? chroot? Plasma Active 3?
Thanks!
85 viewvs and 0 replys, being ''xda'' I expected somthing better.
I did some changes, with Plasma Active I cant install any program, I dont know what commands it uses, but anyway is a linux based OS for mobiles. I did chroot in Android to Ubuntu, and trying to install JRE says that my OS is ARM and dont install it. I supose it will happens in Plasma Active too.
I have one quiestion now, runing Ubuntu natively, I supose I will have the same problem right?

You will probably have it.
Natively or chrooted, you are still on arm. I tried some googling around, and people just told each others to use openjdk to run java.
Can you test it and report back?
apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
Browser plugin is called icedtea-plugin if I remember correctly.

Thanks for your help.
I tried it, but I installed openjdk-7-jre, and icedtea-7-plugin, because I need the latest version of java, but when I use ''java -version'' it says ''1.6.0_24''.
I have both versions, default one (6) and 7, using ''sudo update-alternatives --config java'' I can select what version I want, but if I select the version 7, It dont work. (says: couldnt open libjava.so)

Hello!
After some days not "hacking" Ubuntu Touch (I had to play around with my new Raspberry Pi) I have a question:
Is it possible to install another desktop environment and start it on boot up. I would like to add a E17 (Enlightenment 17) PPA and try the mobile interface. I don't how I can change the DE that boots (on my PC I have to change the .xinitrc).
Has somebody tried changing the DE?
The DE also has to be mir ready. :/

I thought about installing XMir...
After trying several other things I gave up.
I really hope we'll able to replace unity with something lighter and faster.
probably this way works
just do it the PC way
apt-get install e-17 on terminal or xterminal

This won't work because you need Xorg and this where I am right now...
This will not work because we have not xorg but SurfaceFlinger, Mir run on top of that. (that's why they are pushing it everywhere, write once, deploy everywher)

And because of that I'm trying to install Xorg. And if I add sources form Ubuntu (not Touch) 13.10 for Nexus 7 and install Xorg it could be working. Maybe somone can help me (I don't have much time in the next few weeks).
hey all i have an alps u89...
this phone http://cwelltech.en.alibaba.com/pro...quad_core_android_4_2_Star_mobile_phones.html
and i am unable to get ubuntu running on it via chroot method
i am wondering if anybody else has had it running on this phone, or if anyone may know what the problem could be...
after installing needed apps from market and downloading ubuntu image i try and run the setup in cmd and it just seems like nothing wants to work
i have googled every combination to try and find some answers but to no avail...
i have also tried every ubuntu installer app the market... none seem to work... i dont know if my device supports loop devices which is a requirement, but it says that if it dont support loop devices it simply wont boot into ubuntu, but im unable to get it to even start installing...
so any help is greatly apprieciated...
and if anyone is able to assist me in getting it to run on my phone, i am happy to buy them a drink or two as i have near enough given up any hope of having a nice ubuntu running
one last note, i did have a very primitive linux distribution running(gimp) had very limited functionality and it wasnt what i was after...
i cant remember which of the market installer apps i used for it but i am after ubuntu to be as close to the pc counterpart as possible
whats that i hear? challenge accepted??
i hope i heard right
