This should help.
It's a Linux distribution.. like Ubuntu..
Does this mean we can then VNC into it after turning the server on?
How much has been tested on it?
Sounds cool. Read up ln it a little as I wondered at first what it was also. THEY say it's good but the main drawback is the short lifespan and support of each version. AS they pump out new versions like every 6 months or so n support for it is one of the shortest. SO it makes it hard for developers to use since its not long term.
Plus I never knew there was like a million flavors of Linux..lol. not even funny how many different flavors there was while reading up on Fedora.
Wait, can we actually use fedora on the prime this way through a script? How is functionality? We can simply shut it down again or something...?
More details would be nice Might give it a try later if I know/understand more about it hehe.

Does it require root? What fedora is included, can we just yum update stuff?
I am actually unable to get this to work at all. Nevermind loading the files on the prime was nothing but an issue. IS there a proper method for loading fedora. im getting:
chroot: can't execute 'bin/bash': Permission denied
failed: invalid argument
failed: invalid argument

So this would be awesome to have but has anyone actually gotten it to run?

What steps did you do to get it to work. Following the OP gave me the errors i posted on the first page.
And i don't fully understand Linux, still learning it!
sorry if this is a noobish question- but after loading I setup I 'yum install x11vnc', but can't seem to get it to run at all; what method are people using to get a desktop with this?

Im trying to install fedoa on a rooted tf201. Downloaded tar.gz2, attempted to extract to 'data/local/fedora' but i could not extract it. Anyone have any luck with fedora on the prime?
Fedora 17 alpha image: http://fedora.roving-it.com/rootfs-f17-hfp-alpha1.tar.bz2
This is interesting, I nee to RMA mine for a few issues and hold off on unlock/root until I get a satisfactory prime but I'm excited.
One this though I too heard about the short lifespans, is this a bad thing? I only ask because projectors in theaters run fedora so I would assume they must be ultra stable with the shortened lifespan of each release, unless they update after every release. Just interesting to me.
I have a functinal rooted tf201 with root, busybox, xorg (as far as I know) through Linux Installer, VNC Viewer, Terminal Emulator and OTA Rootkeeper. I have a fair amount of root & bash experience, so I'd be delighted to help the OP with writing a walkthrough of the VNC server-client process in the specific case of Yum based distros and Fedora's rootfs structure.

One this though I too heard about the short lifespans said:
I view it as a bonus. You will find that at any time there are at least 2 versions being supported and although I use Ubuntu/Debian I would think that that Fedora enables users to upgrade from the previous to current version with a mouse click or two and 200Mb of downloads - just as easy as Windows but with more control (and bugs get fixed in hours!).

I'll try to get my hands on some screenshots later after doing some digging on how-to's and update this a little bit.
You could try imagemagick. Not sure if it's in the repos though. I'm about to head off to work or I'd try it.
If it's installable just type in a terminal window.

I dont own a laptop dock anymore by I thought there was a screenshot function built into webtop. (Printscreen key or ctrl+alt+c).
Also I dont think minecraft will work cause it has native libraries for x86.
Very correct, ctrl+alt+c works.
There is no printscreen key though.
Yeah, no luck with Minecraft. It starts to load then just displays a white screen.

I have noticed that many people have had issues rooting their phone, especially recently. And i have also gotten tired of typing or copying the root method over and over after flashng in RSD and loosing root.
In response to that i have taken it upon myself to write a script for automating a majority of the process for all of us, making the process swifter than before. However this is not a one click root there are many steps nessecary to root our device. All i have done is wiritten a script to automate a majority of the process.
I will only test one version of the script, the ubuntu 12.10 version, because thats the only operating system i run and its easiest to test this one. i will leave the other versions to other people and to post issues with them as they arise so i may fix them
there are several versions of the script
*Ubuntu - 12.10 and up
*Ubuntu generic - 10.04-12.04
*Linux generic - any version of linux
*Windows bat file - Must download Motorola drivers
*Android - NEW ALPHA!! can actually be run from another rooted phone or tablet!! Scripts for general use coming soon! Testers are welcome! Check out the second post for details.
each version has the nessecary files to root your phone and including the script
These are not flash able scripts these must be uncompressed and run on a computer
Oh and feed back is more than welcome im not an expert at writing scripts or any sort of write up but i will do my best to fix any flaws or add suggestions.

Ah, wow. Thank you so much for this. I didn't root my Milestone X2 2.3.6 on ACS Wireless for 6 months because I was afraid of breaking it (again.) I wish this was around a few months ago
Hopefully this helps everyone root their phone in a much easier and safer way.
By the way.. Does anyone have any suggestions on a working MX2 2.3.6 ROM? I'm still using stock, and I hate it.
there aren't any roms based on 2.3.6, doubt we will see any soon

Try eclipse its not 2.3.6 based but it runs wonderfully on the mx2. As for the script its mostly an untested product. I've runt the Ubuntu 12.10 one once with little issue but the rest I haven't tried. Just remember its a two part script that requires the running of both pieces to work.
As to having a rom 2.3.6 based there really is no point we have fully functional roms that run beautiful with what we have not to mention that there's no real point in going back if we get a kexec or second boot working as further versions are going to be based off of a newer kernel and version of android.

I'm glad it was able to help. I tried to make certain things more autonomous but unfortunately it does have to be specific, and handled as such. So there's not a lot of flexability in how the process is done by the user and by the script itself.

I've tested some superuser managing apps and so far the only one that works for our device is chainsdd's app. Clockworkmod's and chainfires supersu do not work well or at all. Please use the chainsdds app from the market or keep the one that the script installs as they work best.

Alpha for the arm aka android script is up. Testers are welcome to play with it. This is a very very basic build. Nothing is automatic, will be worked on as I go. The download, requirements and minor change log of what's included can be found on the second post. that post is now change log and unstable versions. Read what's included on the the log before trying. If you want to try but don't have and otg cable flash the preinstall img using a computer and play around with the arm adb binaries. Credit for the arm versions of the adb and fastboot binaries go to the original developers, they will be listed as I find the correct threads and sites I pulled them from are found.

Sorry. I meant to get back to you earlier, I've been busy. No. I'm running Windows 7. Used the Windows Pack and ran through the instructions/README and got hung on that last step when the script wouldn't run.
I have a bootable CD of a few Linux OS's should I try one of those instead of through Windows? Is there a specific OS that the Linux script doesn't work on. I am a fan of LinuxMint and CentOS but I also have an Ubuntu CD as well.

Hum I wonder what broke the windows script. Um really its up to you I can try to tear it apart and see if what's wrong but I'd need specific information from you in what's happening. But I'm a better Linux script writer so the Linux scripts are a bit more stable. Ubuntu 12.04 and up is best because the repositories have adb and fastboot included and can be installed. Both of which the script requires to run but any of the linux ones should work.

I figured that there was plenty of people on this board that could figure out how to use Linux.
I think if u don't have anything valuable to help Ubuntu, then we should keep quiet
I don't, so I wouldn't criticise anything
For those who do, please help and assist in any way
Testing, drivers, kernel, etc
I believe Ubuntu meant well when he is asking for any form of help from the community to help develop this
Whether he has passion for himself or the project or not , that's not appropriate to condemn or expect
Let's work together when we can, where we can

Here's an unofficial store frontend: https://appstore.bhdouglass.com/apps
And yes, you can install debian packages, but that breaks OTA updates.

i change to and remounted RW
and did update and upgrade all worked fine but killed my dual boot
so if i did RW and then update
and installed say lifeograph would it install that package and be useable from the repository?

Did you upgrade using the system settings update mechanism? That won't be blocked and the update will seem to work, but things will break after some time, just like your dual boot, especially when you start installing custom packages.
Theoretically, the application should work, but you're going to have to set up XMir properly to run X applications. If you are interested in doing that, the guy who made this video is the one who can tell you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3PUYoa1c9M

AND you'll have to install the devel-proposed channel as stable/rtm doesn't contain the necessary software yet.
I got root write - updated and upgraded and it killed my nexus 5 install basicaly wrote over the boot sector I think !
Can I not get a chroot for ubuntu apps I have on ubuntu and would they run? For example lithograph?
Ill take a look I've installed the sdk to test as well I'm certain these apps will get added soon scopes are great but being able to install ubuntu apps like lifeograph and other apps would be amazing.. Is this on the cards or do the developers have to release the touch apps version ?

I'm sorry for you killing your boot sector. Were you able to set up everything again?
I tried the chroot method some time ago but you still need to install the necessary packages for that using apt-get. So you need a writable system again...
You could, however, try to package the apps as a click package yourself. I've never tried that and I don't know of anyone who did, but if you ship xmir and the application in a click package, it should work.
I just had to reinstall and re-root was good really because got it set up right now.
I'm did a emulated rw and compiled lifeograph from source that it might work but it wont connect to mir using cmake there must be a use flag or ill look are cross compiling maybe.. Does it create a click package or a deb ? Ill take a poke around in apt cache to look at packages already cached from install

Great that you got it sorted out.
There's a trick to get the app working on Mir: Lifeograph is an app for the X window system. To make it run with Mir, there's a software called Xmir. Check out whether it's in the repos. If not, the source code should be online somewhere.
The app is probably going to compile as a debian package though. Either you stay with your phone in rw mode or you look into packaging it as a click package. The latter might be a little bit more difficult.
Hey, i wan't to know how can i have an adblock on ubuntu touch, maybe a hosts file with already blocked

Unfortunately this thread is the first Google hit on "ubuntu phone adblock". Even less fortunate is that I also don't have a solution, yet, other than using a hosts-file to block advertising domains, which is not really sufficient.
I wish Firefox would run on the Ubuntu Phone.
Yes maybe but i found a solution if you have an android rooted phone just install adblock for android or adaway, update hosts file and copy this on your ubuntu phone at /etc and normaly it's done

I can not post to outside links yet, but you could use the host file from someonewhocares-dot-org/hosts/
thanks i ll try

How to copy?
Just recently purchased Ubuntu phone.
How do you copy the host file to /etc/.
Regular sudo doesn't work. Couldn't figure it out how to mount filesystem as rw.
Any ideas?

It works for me. You're most likely to get the best possible advice if you are as descriptive as you possibly can. At the least verbatim copies of the commands you entered and what the result was.
Now there is this solution : https://uappexplorer.com/app/uadblock.mariogrip
