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.

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

ADB is just a binary file, you open terminal in same directory as adb ./adb shell
I keep the binary file on my desktop, then just right click desktop select open terminal here, then type ./adb shell

This is what I used a while back to get me up and running on my Ubuntu setup when I was using the Evo4g. I was new to Ubuntu at the time, so this guide was very helpful for me. Step 6 is important, because setting ADB in the PATH will allow you to execute adb commands from any directory. You won't need to cd to the directory where your adb drivers are (most likely the platform-tools folder)
http://imransarwar.com/index.php/how-to-install-adb-on-ubuntu-step-by-step-guide/
Here is another guide written by MisFit for ADB on Ubuntu. I'm not sur which flavor of Linux you're running, but if it's Ubuntu these tutorials should be helpful to you. After I started using the Evo3d, I had to do something very similar to this guide. ADB always worked fine with my Evo4g on Ubuntu, but when I started using the Evo3d, I would get "no permissions ?????????" or something to that nature. Following this guide should fix that. Good luck getting it going, shouldn't be too bad.

You need all that just to run a binary on Ubuntu? I guess they really are the windows of Linux.

Ha, yea. I didn't find it too difficult, and as I said, was a noob at Ubuntu when I did that. Surely there's a quicker way to do it. But I was able to do it with no experience with Ubuntu at all, just followed what was written.
Thank u i will try it when I get home. Thanks for your help

Understood. And yup, I know I'm a noob at Ubuntu and other Linux based stuff. I used Windows my entire life until a few months ago, so I'm learning it slowly. Surely one day I'll also be building my own Linux systems.
First off, thanks to msullivan for providing the BackTrack 5.0 image!
I've made this as easy as possible. Not for novice users.
I chose backtrack as the image (instead of ubuntu) because i LOVE backtrack. I've used it as my main on-the-go linux for a while. Mainly because I hack all the wifi I'm around so i have a constant NET connection
This script requires ADB installed and ROOT!
Required Apps
Busybox - Download and install busybox
Terminal Emulator
Any VNC Client that supports LINUX
Installation
Download the image and attached scripts (BT5_Install.zip)
http://www.ulozto.net/xfHz8JJ/primelinuxbacktrack5-zip
Rename the image to BT5.zip and copy to /sdcard/ - I would copy in the script, but ADB is WAAAY slow.
Unzip BT5_Install.zip into your ADB folder - Or anywhere if you have ADB set with environmental variables
Make sure device connected and responds to adb (adb devices)
run install.bat
This will push the proper scripts, open the image up for use and run necessary scripts
This process does take time. No longer than 10 minutes. Script will notify when complete.
---Linux is now installed!---
Open terminal emulator and type: (do this any time you want to start your linux if you have shut it down or the TFP has restarted)
su
cd /sdcard/bt5
sh bt
Type Y at the prompt
VNC into 127.0.0.1:5901 with password 'root' with any VNC program you like
PROFIT
Change Resolution!!
Open terminal in Linux
Type pico /usr/bin/startvnc
Xhange resolution to 1280x800
Type ctrl x
Yes
restart TFP
Look absolutely AMAZING now
Notes:
If the bt5 folder on /sdcard/ is ever deleted, you will lose your linux and need to re-install!
This has been tested and confirmed by me!
Can you tell I like formatting?? hahaha
Need help with ADB? Click HERE for my guide!
Im using POCKETCLOUD in Windows mode (it connect to linux as well!)
The GUIDE is not finite. Please post anything you feel should be added/corrected to the guide.
Thanks and 5 star would make me feel good inside too!
Yes!!!!I was wondering when we would see this for the TP. I wonder how long it will be till somone asks about monitor mode and packet injection. Let me go ahead and announce it... AIRCRACK WILL NOT WORK!!! Had to do it.. every backtrack thread on this forums is full of kids saying "I can hax0rz wifi?"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
lol, i know, i wish.. it would only work if we could dual boot. that way, we could potentially have wifi aircrack support and all that!
Agreed.. but chroot is better than nothing I guess. You may want to try the "orbot" app along with backtrack. Its great for using the tor network while using bt.

Thanks for this. I was looking to put some form of Linux on my tp lol. Just have to wait until I get an sd card now.
it doesn't have to be on your sdcard
sdcard means internal memory
there is a removable category for a removabl sdcard.
just transfer the zip to your normal memory root directory

So since beaups has announced that s-off for 2.06 will be for Linux only, a lot of people are preparing by either trying to set up a Linux partition or Live DVD/USB. I just thought I'd make a thread for general info and help getting it working properly. I'm not going to go super in-depth with this because there's a plethora of information online this is more just for some tips to get you started.
Disclaimer: Make sure your computer is backed up before doing this. You shouldn't run into any problems that will screw it up, but you never know what could happen. Better safe then sorry, right? If your computer explodes, it's not my fault.
Some general info about LInux
Essentially, Linux is just a kernel. Android is based off the Linux kernel, and your cable box, router, and most web servers probably are as well... And a lot of other things you might not think of.
Desktop Linux has what are called distrinutions. These are basically the equivalent of Android ROMs, just operating systems based on Linux. If you are just starting out, you probably want to use Ubuntu or Linux Mint as they are the most user-friendly.
Making the Live DVD/USB
-First you obviously need the iso. Here is a link to the Ubuntu download: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
-Unless you have a computer that doesn't support 64-bit, just get the 64-bit download. If you have a UEFI-based computer, you definitely want the 64-bit iso because it's UEFI native, which will make things easier, and you will also want to read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
-If you're trying to boot the Live DVD on a Mac, you also want the 64-bit iso, and you need rEFIt: http://refit.sourceforge.net/
-If you just want to boot from the DVD, you can burn it with pretty much any DVD burning software. If you want to make a live USB, use unetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ or Pendrive Linux: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/usb-creator/
Installation
-If you only plan on using Linux once to s-off your phone, you don't really need to do this, just use the Live DVD.
-If you haven't already, you probably want to hook up an ethernet cable to your computer in case the wireless drivers aren't available.
-If you actually want to install it on a PC, it's pretty straightforward, just use the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option, unless you want to partition it manually with the "Something else" option (I won't go into that here).
-If you want to install it on a Mac, you will need rEFIt, which I already mentioned. You also need to add a fat32 partition to your drive that you will reformat to ext4 with the Ubuntu installer. Install rEFIt, reboot twice and then you should see the rEFIt boot menu where you can choose your live disc. One very important thing about this: If you are installing Linux to the same drive as an OS X installation, DO NOT choose the "install alongside" option. It will break your install. Use the "Something else" option. By default, Linux wants to install grub to the MBR, but you need to reformat your fat32 partition to ext4 instead and install it to that partition. Then you can just boot into it with rEFIt. The rest is pretty much the same as installing it on a PC.
Post-install
-At this point, it's going to want to install some updates and maybe some proprietary drivers it may need and that's it. Really all you need to do after this is install the android drivers. The easiest way is to use apt-get which is basically a package installer for everything in Ubuntu's software repos. Open up Terminal, and type in: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot. Hit enter, type in your password, then it will ask you to confirm and blah blah blah and then it will download and install it. That's really it. I don't know what else may be necessary at this point since the s-off tool hasn't been released yet.

I think he took it as "if its Linux only then the method sucks" while I can see that your just trying to say you wish it was on windows as well but whatever, it can be taken as as much more negative thing... Remember attacking back only causes more hostility let's all please get along.

Ok so I am trying to dual boot windows 8 and linux mint 15. I have an ASUS X55C laptop that cane preloaded with Windows 8. I made a liveusb that works great but now is like to dual boot. After i install linux mint I restart and choose to run mint as the os. Then I get this message. Also here is the guide I followed to install mint
http://www.howtogeek.com/99060/how-to-dual-boot-windows-8-and-linux-mint-on-the-same-pc/
Windows has failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the Problem
1. Insert Windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2 Choose your language settings and click next. 3, Click repair your computer.
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance
File: \linuxmint\winboot\wubildr.mbr

Yes windows will still start up and linux will still start up from my usb. Im actually on linux through my liveusb now. I downloaded the 64bit linux since my laptop came pre downloaded with a 64 bit windows 8. ALso it is a UEFI. I have secure boot disabled as well. I just am confused as to why it runs fine from my usb. But wont run when its installed to my computer.
Using Android Tools on Ubuntu 12.04
Native Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a bootable memory stick needs also to reference the repository that the tools are located.
Once you have booted into Linux, then execute the following commands from a terminal window
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

I didn't see anything about Linux only in the new moonshine thread. Is this still necessary?
If the other guy is like me rooting a phone is the absolute limit of our technical abilities. Now I have to learn to change things on my desktop? I'm grateful, but I'd rather pay for a windows version than go messing around with my desktop. I guess I'll try to learn what livecd is now.
@EvolutionXJ something just occurred to me. Since your PC more than likely has GPT instead of MBR, you may need to use gptsync to sync the partition tables. To so this, boot into your live disc, open the terminal, and type sudo apt-get install gptsync. After it installs, do sudo gptsync /dev/sda. I had an issue similar to yours trying to triple boot my netbook and that was the solution. Let me know if you get stuck again.
Also are you using windows boot manager to boot Linux or are you using GRUB (it might be lilo in the case of uefi)
Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk 2
Forget the gptsync thing, I don't think that's the issue. Don't think you would need to do that with a uefi pc

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.
