An XO Tablet here with Android 4.4.2. I've installed GNURoot Debian 0.5.0_armhf.
I want to run a software which works routinely in desktop systems. Where should
this be located? If an account with directory /home/user/ is created and the
executeable is put there, the permission is rw_ and can not be changed to rwx.
Thanks, ... Peter E.
Does somebody succeed to ssh into GNU Debian for Android ?
I installed this app as well on my Huawei Mate 9 (not rooted) with Android 7 Nougat.
It installed flawlessly and the APT manager works good as well.
But the problem is to get SSH access from outside. I installed sshd and it worked and it opened on port 2022 but ssh'ing into that port results in
Code:
ssh: connect to host <ip> port 2022: Connection refused
I searched on the internet and tried this but to no avail.

If you want to install Debian, just follow this step:
1. Download this : megaupload.com/?d=EV1SOKWJ
In the debian folder you should change the installer.sh and bootdeb files by this one
Download them:
installer.sh : mediafire.com/file/6j99zi0g1lu4oxq/ashu11x_installer.rar
Bootdeb : mediafire.com/file/osshm94mo1qhd65/ashu11x_bootdeb.rar
2. After that, copy the debian folder unzipped to the root of your sd-card
3. Than open Terminal and type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/debian
sh installer.sh
bootdeb
cd /scripts/onetime.sh
sh onetime.sh
That's it!

How to Install Ubuntu on Android!
Posted on February 1, 2011 by admin
For those of you who want to install Ubuntu on your Android smartphone or tablet device, here’s our universal guide on how to do it. (This guide is based off my original guide at NexusOneHacks.net)
*Note – This guide should work on most “rooted” Android smartphones/tablets with no further modification.
We will be running Ubuntu “chrooted” under Android OS, which just means that we will be running a “virtual” Ubuntu OS that runs on top of the Android OS. Your Android OS will work fully (e.g. your phone will keep working normally) while the Ubuntu runs on top of it.
First of all, you should have your Android device “rooted” because you need root access to run Ubuntu off your Android.
Second, your Android OS must support loop devices. Most newer Android smartphones/tablets come with this support so we can mount our Ubuntu image as a loop device. If not, you will either have to build your own kernel with support for loop devices or you can try an aftermarket ROM for your phone as most aftermarket ROMs come with support for it.
For example, G2 Phone and Nexus One both come with loop device support so there’s no need for us to compile a new kernel for it but for others, you may have to.
How do you know this? Just try installing Ubuntu and if it doesn’t boot, your Android device needs a kernel with loop device support. Otherwise you are fine.
How to Install Ubuntu on Android! (Windows)
First, download the following Ubuntu.zip file (from a preferred mirror), unzip and copy over the whole ubuntu directory to the SD card of your Android smartphone/tablet device:
Download ubuntu.zip http://downloadandroidroms.com/files/get/Nhi9EJWSw7/ubuntu.zip
(Turn USB storage ON then copy over the Ubuntu folder to the root directory of your SD card.)
(What it looks like after copied over to the SD Card)
1) Again, make sure you have your Android smartphone/tablet “rooted”!
2) You must have Android SDK installed or have access to adb.exe.
3) Make sure your Android phone/tablet is in debugging mode. Go to Settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
4) Connect your Android device to your computer via USB cable and set the USB mode to “Just Charge”.
5) Your Android device should be recognized as “ADB Device” under Device Manager. If not, install appropriate drivers.
For all HTC Android smartphones/tablets (such as G2 Phone, Nexus One), you can download Windows drivers here:
HTC Windows 64-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
HTC Windows 32-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
6) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search programs and files.
7) Browse to your SDK directory where you installed the Android SDK:
8) Then go into platform-tools directory:
9) Type “adb devices” to double-check your Android device is recognized.
In this example, I used an HTC G2 Phone, which shows up at “HT09SR204261″. This is fine. However, if you get an empty device, that means you didn’t install the drivers for your phone/tablet correctly. (Go back to #5)
10) Type “adb shell” to enter the Android shell.
Then type “su” to enter super user mode, then type “cd /sdcard” and “cd ubuntu” to enter the ubuntu directory in your SD card of your Android device.
11) Next, type “sh ubuntu.sh” to run the script which will basically get your Ubuntu image ready to run on your Android smartphone/tablet.
If you get error messages, don’t worry and keep going.
12) Type “bootubuntu” to enter Ubuntu. (Next time you enter Ubuntu, you just need to type “bootubuntu” from your /sdcard/ubuntu directory, no need to run ubuntu.sh again.
If you got “[email protected]” at this point, congratulations! This means your Android OS comes with loop device support and Ubuntu is now running “chrooted” on top of your Android OS!!!
However, if you failed at this point, your Android OS probably doesn’t support loop devices, try installing another ROM or compiling your own kernel with loop device support.
How to Install Programs on your Ubuntu!
Once you’ve got Ubuntu running on your Android device, it’s time to install some Ubuntu packages(or programs).
Type “apt-get update” to update, this is the first thing you will need to do before installing any new programs.
How to Install OpenSSH-server on your Android Ubuntu!
Type “apt-get install openssh-server” to install OpenSSH-server. What is OpenSSH-server? If you want to connect to your Android Ubuntu via an IP address (and SSH into it), you will want to do this.
How to Install TightVNCServer on your Android Ubuntu!
If you want to access the GUI of your Android Ubuntu, you can install TightVNCServer, which allows you to access the Android Ubuntu via Android VNC app on your Android smartphone/tablet or even access it remotely from your desktop computer.
Type “apt-get install tightvncserver” to install.
How to Fix Language Issues
Above is after I connected to my Android Ubuntu via SSH2. Well, for some reason my default language switched to German. To fix that, just type “export LANG=en_US.UTF-8″:
How to Install LXDE!(optional)
Next, we will install LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment). Although we can use Ubuntu’s default GNOME (and trust me I love that), LXDE takes up less memory so our GUI access will be faster.
If you like GNOME, you can skip this step though.
Type “apt-get install lxde”
Next, let’s setup xstartup file so that when TightVNCServer is started, the LXDE runs instead of GNOME:
Type “cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup”
Then type:
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and enter to save the file.
How to Start TightVNCServer!
Next, let’s start the TightVNCServer and connect to it from our Android phone and my Windows 7 desktop:
Type “export USER=root” and “vncserver -geometry 1024×800″.
Here, you can change the resolution settings 1024×800 to the resolution of your liking.
Now your TightVNCServer is ready to accept any incoming connections from your phone or computer. Just point to the correct IP address and use port number 5901 to connect.
On your Android smartphone, just download the free app “Android-VNC-Viewer” and set the IP address to “127.0.0.1″ and port number 5901 to connect.
And you should be able to get into your Ubuntu like this:
You can also use desktop software like TightVNC Viewer and connect to your phone.
Do “ifconfig” to find out what your IP address is in your Android Ubuntu.
In this example, mine was connected to “192.168.1.131″.
Then connect to “192.168.1.131:5901″ on your TightVNC Viewer:
Here’s LXDE running on my desktop off my G2 Phone’s Ubuntu:
Troubleshooting
Ubuntu not running?
Try typing “cp” under Android shell and if you get an error message, it means you need to install Busybox. Install Busybox and try again.
Final Thoughts
As said in the video, there will be a lot of improvements in the speed of Android devices in the near future. This year, there will be a slew of dual-core 1Ghz processor-equipped Android devices being introduced. Which just means our Android Ubuntu will run faster and faster.
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.

Hi,
are you able to connect Epson L130 with the android device as a print server. Please let me know, as I have also the same printer.

(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.
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
Hi All, I've got a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530W) running Cyanogenmod 12. I put linux deploy on, with a debian arm64 stable release. Everything seems to be working, I can ssh and VNC in, but I can't seem to see any USB devices.
In both an ADB shell session, and through ssh into the debian install, lsusb doesn't return any devices. When I run ls /dev | grep usb from either place I get:
android_ssusbcon
mtp_usb
usb-ffs
usb_accessory
usb_ext_chg
usb_ncm
My ultimate goal is to be able to connect a 3d printer through debian, but I need to be able to see USB devices first. Any help would be greatly appreciated, perhaps there is a better forum to post this in?
Thanks, Ivan
Was a resolution found to this problem? I am seeking to connect a standard printer to my Samsung Galaxy s5 with a CUPS server and am seeing the same issue
Are you trying to connect the printer using an OTG adapter and USB host mode on your device?
Usually the permissions are the biggest problem to seeing things.
You could try my UsbMode.apk (in the sig) to see if you can see anything.
You might just use a print server on your WiFi network.
Hello folks !
I'm new to Windows 11 and have been blessed with the new feature that allows us to install apks natively (well, with adb SDK).
Though, I've been trying to install a VPN apk, it works but there's an error when the app asks for VPN permissions. It says there's an error, and well.. it doesn't work.
Anyone tried/has a workaround ?
Big thanks !
If you're talking of WSA:
WSA shares resources with host computer's resources, so also the network, means you've to install on Windows computer a VPN what then get used.

Oh damn..
I was really hoping that using a VPN apk would be possible with this WSA ..
Thanks for your answer though jwoegerbauer !
Win 11 has an issue with VPN's. I use Surfshark and when I installed Win 112, it created a new adapter that it tunneled all my internet traffic through so that if I disabled the VPN, it killed my internet. I had to delete that adapter which was NOT easy to run without the VPN on (Works sites wouldn't take to whitelisting for example).
I think there was a point in the process where my traffic was blocked with the VPN on. It's crazy
