Looks great, but could you provide a bit more detailed instructions?

more detailed? are you kidding me? If you can't follow not even those simple instructions, in my opinion, you should NOT even try... for your own good...

No you don't have to reflash but back up your ROM anyway

Step 1: Press back button in browser.
Step 2: Close browser.
Step 3: Forget this thread exists.

Gosh, that's great! You know who would really enjoy this? The people in the goddamn Ubuntu forum.

But half the dual boot is Android (even though the other half is Ubuntu). Is that not enough?
And by the way, where is the Ubuntu forum? I can't seem to find it in the Galaxy Nexus forums. Do you mean the thread? Or do you mean the general Ubuntu section?

Just noticed a bug with this.
In Ubuntu, the screen doesn't turn off.
If I hit the power button the welcome screen slides in, but nothing else happens.

Not even time out works? Because my screen turns off just fine..?

Just had it on for a couple of minutes, didn't turn off. But it did turn off once after I left it for a minute. Seems odd.

I had no problem either, but since i flashed another android rom, i have the same issue as above.

By the way maybe interresting thing, with an explorer with root privilege on the android part we can access some folders like acct, uid,system, init files and more, is it ok? cause i don't remember having access to the uid folder before....

This is great! Thanks!

I noticed that the " Dualboot ubuntu zip file " contains 4.2.1 files & most probably 4.2.1 kernel . Didn't tried this out yet . but like to clarify from those who have flashed this .

Can we use this with 4.2.2 rom ? or it just reverts the rom back to 4.2.1 .

I'm using it together with PA (20th Feb build, so full 4.4.2) and it works flawlessly (on the android side), but I do miss Trinity Kernel
