Ive managed to run Ubuntu Netbook Remix on the A101 in SDE.
By run i mean i see GDM, because the driver for the touchscreen seems not to be working.
What ive did was, i took an image from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/ and copied everything from the data partition to a new .img file. Also ive copied the modules from the angstrom rootfs.img.
Then just copied over my rootfs.img over the angstrom one and booted.
There seems to be lots of issues, mainly, i guess, because the init script in the initrd should do something, the one from angstrom doesnt.
Also the kernel-log says it cant read the /proc/ filesystem.
I uploaded my rootfs img to rapidshare for you to try for yourselfes, maybe someone can pick up from here and build a really working kernel+initramfs.

I know it's not working out of the box but it's still pretty cool! IBy netbook remix you mean the new Unity UI correct>
Yes, but as i could not login,i havent seen if the windowmanager works correctly.

Kudos! - You could just try to plug in a usb mouse/keyboard into the usb port - it's usb host (mouse and keyboard work in android)
I'd love to see some more action with this. A mouse+keyboard should at elast get you access to the desktop and thus, terminal. From there, enabling the touch screen should be within arms reach.
To experiment for myself, could you write together a fool proof (noob proof) guide to get to where you're at?

i tried that, but it did not work. But that might be because the only Device i have here to test is some wireless usb mouse, which might need some other drivers.
Im currently working on an image with the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch driver built-in. I hope that gets the touchscreen working in X11.
To get started:
Get some Ubuntu.
Install rootstock using: sudo apt-get install rootstock.
Run rootstock:
sudo rootstock --fqdn archos-ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --keepimage --imagesize 2G --seed ubuntu-netbook
That one generates an .img file you can copy over your existing rootfs.img.
hi,
I'm very interested to get ubuntu working on archos 101
I've tried your instructions to build an image but it stops after:

i had to ctrl+c, because i tas going no where for about an hour.
I guess it needs display ? ..but i don't know how to solve this
Maybe you could try with an imagesize of 3G or another release like karmic.
i did, my first try was with 2Gb, but didn't finish because it went out of space
then I've tried with 3Gb and stoped as i wrote
I had that problem too once.. Just trying again might work rootstock seems to be a bit buggy.
A little update: usb-mice work, when the modules are copied in /lib/modules in the image, but only when no computer is connected on the mini-usb port, that was the problem in the first place.
Wlan driver extracted from stock archos android can be loaded too, but i didnt manage to get the firmware to load yet.
Ps: a happy new year to all of you.

I've tried this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10190468&postcount=38
boots really fast to desktop (10 seconds), but touchscreen don't work, also tried with mouse but nothing
please delete post
could be nice if we run Ubuntu on Gen8
Maybe the image from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10486278
will get us a little further?

Any luck with this?
Would offer to help, but am pretty much a n00b dev at this point >.<
Good God, how awesome it'd be to have a USEABLE distro of linux on the 101 or 70. I love using linux (i have linux mint installed on all 3 computers in my home) and it'd be excellent if i could install an embedded version on my tablet, but alas, i'm a plumber not a programmer! So if someone could post a few links or tutorials to get us started ( as i'm sure there are plenty of gen 8 owners who feel the same as me ) it'd be much appreciated.
Q. Does the 101 it have the same hardware components as the 5 it? The reason i ask is that i think there is a working version of ubuntu nbr for this device and im pretty sure it has the same processor as the gen 8 tablets ( cortex arm a8 ).
Q. Would an amature linux geek like me have any hope of porting it over to our device?
Q. Would it work natively or would we need to modify it?
If anyone else has an interest in having ubuntu on their tablet please post as we have to get this bumped up the list of to do's. BTW, thanks to all you guys in advance and best of luck.
shameless bump for a worthwhile cause!
EDIT:
also, if they can port it to the nook color...

that's only running via vnc - that means no drivers for display and touchscreen and unfortunately won't get us much further
yes it's just a chroot so you can imagine as a ubuntu running with the android kernel. you could try mux the drivers from the angström to the ubuntu kernel and compile the kernel for arm processors this could work, at least integrating ev-touch will help a lot. search for google for ubuntu4arm and you will find some howto.
the reason why i'm outta this is i have not much time at the moment and without a usable on-screen-keyboard (and at the moment there is none) ubuntu is worthless for me on the tablet.
Why o why have there been so few posts on this subject? Are we the only one's interested or is it just too much work to get another version of linux on the gen 8 devices? Really not trying to be rude to any of the developers on xda because i think you guys are awesome, really, but could someone please tell us if this is a worthwhile cause or a pure waste of time and effort.
I am copying ubuntu.img and ubuntu.sh to my 8 gig sd card and will attempt to boot into it. The method I'm using will involve an vnc client to view the interface. This would be really cool if it works, but i'm sure a lot of fun to get working. Also, I am new to this board and originally came for hacking my nook tablet.
That be really cool once bluetooth is working on this tablet then i can bring a keyboard and it would be like a real computer.
your brave!
Boot Ubuntu eh? I got the sh and img on my data partition and tried to use adb to boot it, but bootubuntu not found comes up. So u might have troubles. Reply if you boot Ubuntu.

There are already people working on getting ubuntu to work on the NT. So far they have found they need a working 3.x kernel to make it work.
I would suggest reading the threads in the development section regarding the 3.x kernel development and also read the thread [unbrick] total wipe and reflash back to 1.4.0 via ubuntu recovery. (the second one is stickied)
You will find useful info in those threads.
I have been trying for a few weeks to install kali linux on my lg g3. So far with no luck I have tried every guide on the internet but all have failed me can someone give me a detailed walkthrough on how to do so? my sd card is formatted and partitioned to fat32. I wish to install kali to the second 14 gig partition I made and named ext2. my phone is rooted with busy box installed it is the lg g3 S990 runing stock rom 5.0.1
anyone have any experience with this?
Here are some screen shots
Here are some screen shots
I don't think that you can..... They don't offical support it and there is a lot of things you have to take into effect. For example kernel, arm version, and hardware, wifi chips, touch screen drivers and a WHOLE LOT MORE!.
What would you suggest then? I'm debating getting a nexus 7 and installing nethunter on it would that be better??? I've been able to get quite close to having it work

You can try that
GOOD NEWS (maybe)
I am able to get kali running through the complete linux installer app BUT it appears to be missing all pentesting tools and has no gui because vnc viewer wont connect but it does at least behave the way the app makers say it should :/

Have you just looked into installing it onto like raspberry pi or a Chromebook or something? It seems pretty easy..... Plusnit might work better then the phone.
If I can't get to work ill be switching to a nexus seven with nethunter. I found a guide on how to run kali in limbo pc emulator and it appears to work to some extent but I get no gui nothing. I fear the iso file may be corrupted. Ill post screenshots next

Just install gnome fallback or something....
Or open a terminal and try running "startx"
Here are my screenshots.

It could just be the arm version of our phone.... What are you trying to do with Kali?
Just run it I have a pwn box for mobile hacking so I can bluesnarf and do alot of fun things. I'm doing freelance pin testing so I thought it would be nice to be able to do those things on my phone without having to lug my laptop out

OK, cool
Then I guess the nexus 7 is your best guest unless you get something like a Samsung S2 and put it in monitor mode and use aircrack-ng. Also the raspberry pi thing is pretty good if your like pretty handy you can wire up a battery, pi, and screen then just use a wireless keyboard.

You can install kali linux on linux deploy and run with android VNC
I am running with linux deploy it on my AT&T 3g.
Im pretty sure your problem is in your configuration on preferences. Generally the SD is formatted to FAT which has maximum image file size 4095 MB. So pretty much if you want kali tools then hypothetically you could reformat your SD or external to ext4. There is also a permissions problem because of the image location. Here's how I got around it for now, I just started altering this phone 2 days ago so I'll keep you updated if you want. I moved the environment location to a folder in SD and it has consistently held up to 6000MB which is plenty for the os, necessary additions and a few fun kali tools.
Here's my mini pictorial, it's only my second post so maybe this will help.
Just do the settings like mine, Wait forever while it installs then after it finishes hit reconfigure. It takes a couple of minutes to reconfigure then you press start and wait until it's finished loading, press your home button, open VNC, make sure your port is 5900 and default password is "change me"
Open up a terminal and type "sudo su" make a password, update and make sure you have fun.
When you're finished go back to linux deploy, press stop and then use the menu button to exit the app

When you boot up press "e" to edit the boot info, place DEBUG=2 into the script after 'androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64' so it looks like 'androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 DEBUG=2' hit F10 (softly)
Debug boot should begin.
Type exit when prompted, ignore any warnings that might come up concerning hardware not being picked up, type "exit" when prompted to do so to move on. After a few times typing "exit", does an error like this continue to roll up your screen: "init: Couldn't probe module 'net-pf-16-proto-5' "? :fingers-crossed:

A quick question. Are there any other drives connected?
You could try actually install it onto your SSD from the boot up.. Your SSD would need 2 partitions though.. One is FAT32 (around 3GB large) and the other can be FAT32 or NTFS, it wont make a difference. If you want to know how to do the install from boot then just send a reply asking.
I have just tried with a different machine and I'm getting a full SELinux error. I doubt that there is anything that we would do.. (I'm not pro enough to go reading through the actual OS files... ) Not all PC's are supported unfortunately. Mine is not, I have had better luck running Remix OS in Virtual Box, well... before the latest release at least. Now I'm getting errors that seem to have been around since Android_x86 project began.
Another option would be to try the Legacy version if your motherboard is able to boot legacy. (Sorry, have not tried looking at your MoBo)
My advice (which I am also following) would be to be patient and just hold out for a while. Until the next update comes along for us to try.
More support is intended on being added with every release.
all my files is in a fat32 partitions and work on my laptop is just my pc ... wont works
Are there any other drives connected?
yes i have 4 drive with my pc
If it is working on your laptop then settle with that for now.
No, not other drives would be recommended, just saw them in the debug at the beginning.
The error that seems to be coming up for you and I (this is as far as I understand) has to do with kernel security settings as to what to allow on boot. The issue can arise when certain files have not been given the policy labels that they require to run. So they effectively get denied constantly. This is likely where a lot of the added hardware support will sort things out... I'm also running an NVidia Card.. could be the drivers needed..(although that would not explain why VM's don't work)
Sorry that I cannot help you mate.. This is going too deep into the realm that I know little about when it comes to the actual stuff. I follow instructions when having to make a change to my Linux distro.
I do envy you having the latest version working on a device. My laptop wont boot for me either.
You could try the Andriod_x86 forums and see what the common threads are. Seeing as Jide is using android_x86 as a base.
If anyone else knows more and is able to shed light on the matter, please do so? I am also up to correction on my statements.
I asked the same question on other forums and on google group

Hi developers,
is any chance, that can i install any alternative OS to my Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311? Device has a Nvidia Tegra K1 CPU, that is ARM. Chrome OS is not too bad, but i need some apps, which not exist or not work well.
I finding any OS. It may be Android or Ubuntu. But i need working offline apps (storage is not big problem i mean).

I have the same model. Great hardware, lousy os. Crouton with ubuntu trusty build runs well if you are a little computer savvy and dont mind typing in terminal commands. It runs parallel to chrome. I have heard you can install linux native on this model, but have never tried.
Hello, If you find a way how to install android apps on Acer CB5-311 chromebook, will be great. Thank you!
Yeah, it is possible.

I know you porobably solve your problem, or change your device, but i want to reply to it, if anyone else are searching for answers.
Because of drop of support for this device a have decided to move to linux.
On internet are some scrips, which can do it by one or two clicks, but they are old today and it's i bit more tricky today.
In general, you can use arch linux, which instalation still work, but graphical session doesn't start (i don't know why, i'm not expert on arch). You can use Clifford script, which don't work for today, because chrome os karnel has been changed and it is more difficult to use it.
So i install arch linux, with working kernel a delete it's rootfs. Into it i installed ubuntu-base 18.04, update, instal basic packages and kubuntu desktop.
Suprisingly it work very well, even graphic acceleration works.
If anyone wan't to know, how did i do it, i can help.
But i think no one is using it today, except few people like me.

I need help to change chrome OS with linux on my old acer cb5-311. [email protected] Thank you!
In case no one has known yet, the CB5-311 is running an Nvidia Tegra K1 processer if I'm not mistaken. Therefore, because it is an ARM-based device, using another OS other than ChromeOS is impossible as far as I can tell.
Good to know about the Tegra k1 processor...
Hey, sorry for waiting.
Here is some linux images for this device: https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder
It is prepared to flash on SD and boot from it. From this awesome develeper can be also found the linux kernel for this chromebook.
It is also posible to did something similar like chrubuntu did earlier, it means flash kernel to KERNEL C partition and boot from internal storage (but my 16 GB internal storage is i bit small)
Good luck, with this.
P. S . only problem is with graphic drivers. Drivers provided from NVIDIA is for ubuntu 14 and they are too old to use. So you you have to regret hardware acceleration (or find another way how to make it work).
Read also the the issues and releases on github.
Second way is to use archlinux. There is and script, which will do anything for you.
https://github.com/RaumZeit/LinuxOnAcerCB5-311 even if this script isn´t for my CB5-311-T23S, it works.
If you don´t know how to resize internal storage and flash working kernel, it is posible to use this script and install arch linux and later back up kernel modules, format partition with root and there install ubuntu base. ArchKernel work fine with it, but latest working version is ubuntu 18. (Snap don´t work on this old kernel). If you want ubuntu 20 (or newer), you will have to use kernel from hexdump0815 mentioned earlier)
