Ok, here is my Debian Squeeze bootstrap for armel architecture and is tested on my Xperia Go. Port contain a lot of installed things like compilers, libraries, programers languages, desktop enviroment, tight vnc server, openssh server... so everything that can be used like in desktop computer...
Warning:
Only stock rom files is safe and nothing "custom" is safe! You doing everything on your own risk! So you can play with Debian on your own risk!
How to install:
first, you need to have rooted phone! You need "su" installed! Busybox is needed too! Terminal emulator too!
extract Xperia_Debian.rar to your external sd card. You need min 4gb free disk space on your external sd card!
using adb tool perform next steps:
adb remount
adb push bootdeb /system/bin/bootdeb
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/bootdeb
How to boot debian:
open terminal emulator and type "su" and press enter. You must see "#"
type "bootdeb" and press enter
You can see log on terminal emulator and if all is ok you are now in Debian
Optional things:
You can start ssh server by command "/etc/init.d/ssh start" and you can install WinSCP + Putty on your computer to get remote acces to your Debian like: WinSCP for remotelly browsing/uploading/deleting...etc and Putty for remote secure shell (ssh) access.
Username for ssh access is: user: root, password: password. You can change password by command "passwd your_password_here"
You can install vnc client on your computer for remote desktop connection to Debian (just you need to start vncserver on Debian with proper screen size geometry for example "vncserver -geometry 1024x768")
You can install vnc on your android (android vnc viever) to get remote desktop connection from your android.
You can install Debian to for example usb stick, but you need to modify (path to external usb disk) bootdeb script!
Warning:
When you start terminal emulator and you start Debian than do not close terminal emulator!!! If you close terminal emulator than Debian partition is not unmounted so there is posibility for Debian image coruption + coruption on userdata partition! So allways before closing terminal emulator (after starting Debian) you must type "exit" so Debian partition will be safely unmounted and Debian stopped!
do not perform long operations like git clone big pproject...etc because ram memory is not enought and sometimes Debian freze... I created 300mb swap but still swap is allways free so I think maybe kernel have no enabled swap support? I can see zram support in ICS kernel but its about ~50mb so maybe someone can/need to increase zram size to get our Debian stable!

Yes, yes, yes...
definitely YES. Maybe not only Debian ? Ubuntu? Firefox OS?
Thread moved to General section.
Firefox OS would be VERY nice!
Is it possible to run that native?

Debian ? sounds cool ? is it possible ?
It's already existing. Look for "Linux Installer" on the market. It's running from an image via loopback device and VNC. So you don't even need to flash anything, works on standard Image.
I had Debian (I think it was LXDE DE) running. Ubuntu also available.
Pretty nice to show to someone, but I would not work with it. I deleted the image cause it wasted several GB on flash memory.
Interested.

Yes I use the same principe (it runing under android in loop) but I prepared/installed a lot of things like compilers... etc... its about 4gb ext2 image...
Ok I will share it and it will be in zip (installable trought recovery) ! Will try to include everything like VNC viewer...etc
I am interested.
What about the official Ubuntu for android project?
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
My wet dreams are about that.
so much yesss please do
is it laggy??
i would love it but sadly with xpetia u i need a smaller image... 4gb are too many. anyway thanks for doing it

I had old Debian Leny bootstraped, it was for HTC HD Mini, I got it runing on Xperia but it not worked good, so yesterday I created new debian.ext2 image (4gb), its bassed on latest stable Debian Squeeze, it contain installed: full desktop enviroment, a lot of compilers and libraries...etc. I tried to make an zip installer but zip could not accept larger files so it will be rar archive: debian.ext2 + bootscript, you need to install all that manually! Allso you need 4gb free space on your external sd card or maybe it will be runing from external usb disk (you need to modify bootdeb script)? Today I going to start uploading ...see first post!

Dear all
I want to connect a usb printer to an android device like android tv box to share it through LAN. Does anybody know an application can make android device to be a print server, or how can i make andoid device to be a print server
Thanks
Have you managed to do anything. ?
+1
I guess there is still no solution to this. I have same setup with a TV-Box, but can't figure out how to share over the network. I tried Servers Ultimate and the LPD print server it has, but had no luck getting it to work. I think we would need CUPS built in to the kernel of our device ROM.
I hope someone comes up with a solution. Doesn't seem like a big challenge.
If only google Cloud Print could see the attached USB printer and make it accessible.
You can set up Linux chroot (I used Linux Deploy) to install a cups server and share printer over the network. I am using this solution for a long time and it does the job.

It will take some time for you if you haven't used linux and if you do not have idea about how to execute any of the steps I mention below.
Follow these steps:
* Root your phone
* Install Linux Deploy from play store
* Select distribution as Ubuntu in Linux Deploy and install it (this will take time as it will download the linux image and install it)
* In the config options, select VNC or SSH (this is only to install the cups package)
* Login to the linux machine (running on your android phone) using SSH or VNC
* Install cups, cups-daemon packages (run command "sudo apt-get install cups cups-daemon")
* Start cups daemon: run command "sudo /etc/init.d/cups start"
* Install system-config-printer-gnome if using VNC (run command "sudo apt-get install system-config-printer-gnome")
* If using VNC, connect to the machine using a VNC client and run "sudo /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py". In the screen, add your printer and share it to be used over network
* If using SSH, connect to the machine and add your printer using lpadmin (this is a bit advanced, use VNC to avoid and set the printer easily)
Ok, if I set it like this, do I need to start that Linux after every reboot or it will work automatically? I would also like to use my Android TV box as a scanner server, cause I have HP MFP printer.
Thank you @krischat1001 for the steps.
I'm trying to make my printer working with this method (Brother DCP-165C connected to Khadas VIM2)
The Linux Deploy is running well with CUPS installed. The printer USB port was correctly identified (I think), I installed the cupswrapper official driver and selected it while adding the printer.
The problem is the printer never was triggered by CUPS, even while all the jobs are listed as done. I tried print a test page using CUPS and also print from another computer where the CUPS server was added.
What I can see in the printer screen is a fast message "Receiving data", for 100ms or so, on the exact moment I start a print job (this is the normal message shown while printing). But nothing is printed.
Is there any idea on whats going on?

Hi,
Im planning to repurpose one of our old MXQ Pro Android TV Box into a C.U.P.S. print server soon.
I'm really interested whether you've managed to identify the root cause or fix for this issue.
I would first check whether firewall and whether port 631 is allowed in the local network; I would then also check whether C.U.P.S. listener is configured to any print service request in cupsd.conf.

It was a driver problem. I found the specific driver for my printer, and everything is working well now.
Good luck!
I am trying to do the same for an old android phone. Have installed Ubuntu using Linux deploy, installed Cups, Printer Config Gnome, as discussed in this forum.
Printer is Epson L130. Gutenprint supports it, a user post in their forum confirms it.
But nothing happens when I connect my phone to the printer using USB. Neither CUPS nor Printer GNOME detects a new printer.
I have tried 3 different rooted phones: Moto Atrix 2, Xiaomi Mi 3, Moto X Play with same result. I am using the stock kernel and Rom.
lsusb does not show my printer.
lsusb -t however shows the printer in one of the nodes.
Are you guys on a custom kernel/rom?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

(I was trying from my browser, which didn't work) Now installed a vncviewer and was asked for credentails, so YES it works.
This is a confusing thread, but I just want to state that I can print from my Android phone to my old-but-networked HP Laserjet 2100tn printer without using an Internet print server and without installing or using Linux.
Newer Mopria-certified printers are even easier to set up to print from Android.
1. On Android, I installed an "lpd" print server which outputs PDF level 1.3
2. But my printer doesn't accept PDF - my printer wants PCL-5 instead
3. So I added a muPDF "faux printer driver" to "render" the PDF to a bitmap
This converts the PDF to a bitmap and then to PCL-5, which is then sent to the old networked printer via the Android "print server".
I gave up on CUPS though as nothing seemed to work with my Android-12/Windows-10 setup.
I have found a very simple solution.
1. Make a USB server using your android mobile connected to printer with the app "
VirtualHere USB Server"2. Install the " VirtualHere client" in your windows/mac etc.
3. Connect the printer to your android mobile.
4. Run the server
5. In the windows , the client will detect the usb hub.
Now you are good to go.
Make sure that both server and client are connected over same network.
What's a good approach for getting a remote shell from Windows? adb shell just doesn't cut it, I tried it from the Win command prompt and from cygwin's mintty and there are all sorts of terminal problems, cursor keys not working, escape sequences not working, vi is a mess, etc.
So what's the proper way to set up a remote shell so that you get close to the Linux experience while connecting from Windows? E.g. sshd and connect via putty, busybox installed, etc. Any recommendations please before I go and try a bunch of things and make a mess? Thanks!

SSH is a good alternative. You can then connect via PUTTY from your Windos machine. There's a small ssh server for embedded system called "dropbear", alto not fully functional (no scp/sftp support), it's easier to install than openssh. If you don't want to install it in the Android OS native, you can always download an app including it, there's a few of them.
Myself I'm using openssh, using my fully GNU Debian environment (see my signature). This solution also enables me to use X-windows for remote access to my Android. But I guess this is overkill for you. But still, very cool.

Thanks! Your link Run a complete GNU/Linux distribution on your Android is pretty cool!
I tried DropBear SSH Server II and SSHDroid and they seem to work well enough for what I need. Next step is to get sftp working which apparently it is possible with DropBear SSH Server II with a bit of manual work.
Hello community!
For those who are interested in installing a linux system (debian) on a NON-ROOTED Android device:
I managed to install GnuRoot referring to this tutorial:
https://www.xda-developers.com/guid...a-gnulinux-environment-on-any-android-device/
At first i had graphical errors when starting LXDE (like missing icons) due to missing libraries during the installation process.
I show you the steps for installing it, referring to above tutorial, but i added some new terminal commands, because there were libraries and dependencies missing when installing LXDE.
1) First install GnuRoot and XSDL server from playstore.
2) Let GnuRoot start and doing its installation. Then type in following terminal commands:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata <----- if you wanna change your locales
apt-get install libffi6 <------ this is one of the missing libraries, otherwise LXDE will have errors during its installation
apt-get install execstack <------ this is one of the missing libraries, otherwise LXDE will have errors during its installation
execstack -c /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 <------ this is one of the missing libraries, otherwise LXDE will have errors during its installation
apt-get install lxde-core <------- alternatively apt-get install lxde (for full LXDE with its apps)
3) start XSDL and make your configs (resolution etc.), let it run in the background
4) now type in GnuRoot following terminal commands:
export DISPLAY=:0 PULSE_SERVER=tcp:127.0.0.1:4712
startlxde &
5) switch back to XSDL and then wait until the GUI (aka LXDE) starts
It still shows some bugs like "No Session for PID # xxxx" whenever i log in. So i hope that i can get help to install it better (correctly) from the community.
Alternatively:
In the last few days i managed to let GnuRoot Debian run LXDE and connect to it via VNC viewer by running a VNC server locally. So if you dont want to use XDSL, but VNC instead, you can follow these instructions:
Download "GnuRoot Debian" and "VNC Viewer - Remote Desktop" in playstore.
Start GnuRoot, let it do its things and then type in the these shell commands:
For installing LXDE:
apt-get update
apt-get install apt-utils
apt-get install dialog
apt-get install sudo
sudo apt-get install libffi6
sudo apt-get install execstack
sudo execstack -c /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install lxde-core
For installing VNC-Server:
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
su - root
tightvncserver :1 (<---- just start the VNC-Server in order to create the xstartup-file)
sudo apt-get install nano
nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
an editor will show up and add this line at the bottom of the xstartup-file
/usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE &
save the file and continue with these commands:
vncserver -kill :1 (<--- kill the server)
tightvncserver :1 -geometry 1280x720 -depth 24 (<--- start it again with this resolution, you can choose any resolution you want)
Now open VNC-Viewer and create a new item in order to connect to the VNC-Server
type in this adress: localhost:1
There you go... you are connected to the VNC-Server running by GnuRoot Debian. Have fun... I installed LibreOffice and Gimp as desktop solution. Working great with the Halo keyboard and with a bluetooth mouse
Does the keyboard work?
boofman said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes. Halo Keyboard works, as well as the touchpad. It simulates a "right click" of a mouse by touching the pad with two fingers. But i can't recommend using the touchpad. I use a Bluetooth mouse, and it works well with GnuRoot. You can work just like with a normal Linux environment.
Furthermore I got Libreoffice, GIMP, Firefox ESR and Evince (pdf-Reader) working. Unfortunately i didnt get Chromium (32-bit) working.
ok what about the wacom pad i.e. the create pad itself? does it work in linux?
Okay, so it works similar to a Virtualbox, but is more lightweight as it uses the Linux system that's running behind android in principle, right? Well, it makes the Android YB much more better than the Windows variant if that's the case, as it makes it a lot easier to use a real desktop environment inside of Android without having to reboot..
I'm weighing the pros and cons of going through all these trouble though, as the only reason I would want to have a linux desktop running would be more about using Office apps more than anything, and now with MS Office for Android, that would shorten the gap. I love Linux and have a Mint dual boot on my other machine, but the advantages in using the YB ultraportable Android with MS Office should suffice..
@bisharat:
I tried the wacom pad within linux using gimp. but it recognizes the pen only as normal mouse input. sometimes it lags, so drawing (on a professional base) doesn't work that well. and: in linux the pressure used with the pen (i.e. the intensity of the drawn line) isn't recognized as well.
@boofman:
The reason why i installed a linux system on the yoga book was: i tried every reasonable office solution in the app store or other sources, but i haven't found one that can work offline and which can work nearly as good as LibreOffice. As i have to read a lot of Magazines / Journals and as i have to write a lot of papers and making presentations, the installed linux system sufficed as Office solution.
And i plug in an external monitor (if needed) through the mini-hdmi, so i can have a light-weight mini office computer upon my android system for work. I think this is a good alternative, as I still don't see any possibilities to dual boot this device (aka Android and Win10).

ok so if possible can u post a video on how to install it and how to uninstall it (in case anything goes wrong)?

uninstalling is very easy. just uninstall it through the application manager of the yoga book and delete the "GnuRoot" folder in your sdcard.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, I can see where you are coming from, and as a matter of fact, I use my YB Android pretty much the same as you do: hook it up to a monitor and sometimes use it on a projector for presentations.
The issue I have with LibreOffice is that there are times the formatting gets messed up when opened in MS Office (where majority of my officemates use) unless saved in a PDF Format which you can't edit.
For now, MS Office for Android works though a bit lacking in features as compared to the Win10 version, but gets the job done in a pinch.
Dual-boot is one thing we can look into, but for now though, your solution is worth a try and should be a better option.

yeah, thanks. the thing with ms office is that you have to have an account the the features arent that superb. but you are right, most people use ms office and the format is messed up when continuing working with LibreOffice. thats why i only write documents and make presentations with LibreOffice. when publishing i always convert to pdf.
alternatively i also tried crossover with.... well... not so good results. its lagging and therefore disturbing the workflow. furthermore i just got Libreoffice working with crossover (more or less working...), gimp or other free graphic apps dont work.
having Linux on an Android system is a good way to have an Office computer in one's pocket. i also look forward to a possibility to dual boot the device.

Was this done on the Android version or the Windows 10 version of the Yoga Book? Because this may be the breakthrough of getting Android on the Windows 10 version, and then enabling me to do research with a custom ROM.
Yoga Android: "It still shows some bugs like "No Session for PID # xxxx" whenever i log in. without the possibility to close the message windows." smae as the starter herein. anyone else? how to solve that?

I'm aiming for Android first ;P
Hi Geniuses! I tell them that I have a smartphone that they have given me and that the display is broken but I have managed to make it work from the PC and I use it to do tests and experiments since I can not buy the display.
I was seeing that several speak of installing Ubuntu or Debian on Android (ARM chip) and I came up with the idea of using the smartphone as a server, in fact if I could connect a disk by OTG I could use it very well.
Is it possible to install Ubuntu or Debian and use it as a server without the GUI interface? It is clear that I will not need it because the display is not functional hahaha. Only the touch works and I have it rooted and unlocked the bootloader.
Any ideas to start using it as a server?
My device is: Moto E XT1021
Hi there , you cannot install it directly in the device , you can however use an app like Linux Deploy (free on the play store) and it will work fine as a server
