Hi guys, I have something new for you to all test!
I have made my first Debian image, this is a 'core' image ie there is no GUI etc. What I need you all to test is if you can run

Code:

apt-get update

, when I run it at the moment I get 404 errors and I need to know if this is just me or something else. Thank you all here are the links to the image and boot script

Hey. I bought this app. And was wondering if you have to have S-OFF. I have. Unlocked bootloader and S-ON.. permanent root though.

S-OFF is unattainable right now on the HTC Vivid.. And was wondering if that's why I can't get Ubuntu to boot.

Nope so long as you have busybox installed to system/bin and have a kernel that supports loop devices you should be good to go

Totally awesome!

orks with Casio Commando nearly stock everything, EVEN UNDERWATER! Although I'm having the same problem as most with it always saying 'eth0: No such device.' Getting around it is no big deal, though. Other than that it works flawlessly, even at 806Mhz (the current max CPU freq for Commando) Kudos for you!

Can anyone here confirm if this works for them on a G2x/O2x device?

I've used a plethora of kernels and two roms now and the best progress I've been able to get is logging in via a VNC viewer and getting the blank grey X screen. I've tried a couple of your provided images as well.

I am in the process of downloading your new debian image as we speak. Hopefully this will work and if it does I'll verify your 404 problem.

Thanks again!

well good news... it seems gnome is borked (i like gnome -_-) but lxde appears to be running fine. I'm using the large image on my HTC Flyer running Leedroid. I may just redownload the image and try it just to be sure it's not the download, i'll also try the small image too and see how that runs. But at least success i can run Linux on my flyer!

Hey Zac, just wanted to confirm I'm getting the 404 as well.

I did a little digging around and according to the /etc/apt/sources.list file you're using a mirror that doesn't have support for lenny. I actually went to

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/

myself and there is no lenny folder.

I did some more digging and it looks like lenny is now archived.

You'll have to switch the repository in /etc/apt/sources.list to
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian lenny main non-free contrib

Easily done with an
# rm /etc/apt/sources.list
# echo 'deb http://archive.debian.org/debian lenny main non-free contrib' > /etc/apt/sources.list

Then just apt-get update and no more 404's.

Hope I helped!

*Edit*

Just did it myself, there's going to be some public key errors after an apt-get update.

Just do an
# apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring
then
# apt-key update

and now you're all set to apt-get install vncserver.

Again, hope it helps. Looking forward to your all-in-one app.

Excuse me if it's been already asked but, is there a tutorial (or something similar) to build our own Linux image?
If not, is it possible to do one?
Thank you for your work, really great!

Its different depending on what linux distro you want to build

Thanks, but, like in the application, these tutorials are made for Ubuntu only ^^

Sure, but maybe some generic tutorial? Something to start to work ^^

Hi!

I am trying to run Ubuntu on my phone, but I have a little trouble. Running ubuntu.sh I receive an answer:

Code:

# sh ubuntu.sh
sh ubuntu.sh

What should I change in the script? I was looking for an error and I don't have idea what is wrong.

What is the problem? I have installed superuser and newest busybox. Of course the phone is rooted. Thanks in advance!

Problem booting ubuntu

Hi Zak,
Have been running the paid ubuntu app on a Desire S on Reaper and various CM9 Roms (OC to 1.5) for a while, running just fine.
Now trying to run it on an Atrix MB860 (on CM9) and I can't get it to start.
I've removed the Terminal Emulator as a system app and installed it as a user app from the market as suggested. I've installed busy box to /system/bin/ instead of /system/xbin/ as seen earlier in this thread.
Where am I going wrong?
Also would it be possible to put the image on my internal storage instead of my SD card? Maybe by modifying the script?

Hey Fastrite and 12nala, looks like its a simple issue with the directories not being made for mounting. I had that problem with older scripts, but the newer ones work fine. Perhaps you are using an outdated script file?

If you are sure you are using the latest script you can always create the directories yourself. Either use a file explorer with root access like FX file explorer and make the folders

/data/local/mnt/sys
/data/local/mnt/proc
/data/local/mnt/dev/pts
/data/local/mnt/sdcard

Or you can go to the terminal and type:

su
mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /data/local/mnt/sys
mkdir /data/local/mnt/proc
mkdir /data/local/mnt/dev/pts
mkdir /data/local/mnt/sdcard

Then just rerun the script.
If you get any other errors post em here and I'll try to help.

OK, thanks I've got rid of this "No such file or directory" errors. The folders you mentioned didn't exist. Now it is only:

Code:

sh ubuntu.sh
Loop device exists
mount: mounting /dev/block/loop255 on /data/local/mnt failed: No such device
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Ubuntu is configured with SSH and VNC servers that can be accessed from the IP:
eth0: No such device

chroot: can't execute '/root/init.sh': No such file or directory
Shutting down Ubuntu ARM
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() yaffs2 file system /cache/recovery (deleted)
      Output information may be incomplete.
umount: can't umount /data/local/mnt/external_sd: No such file or directory
umount: can't umount /data/local/mnt: Invalid argument
#

I have also added "etc" dir:
mkdir /data/local/mnt/etc

I have downloaded scripts from the app which is available in Google Play.

I don't understand first and second line: There is a Loop Device, there is a Loop255 and mnt dictionary but it can't be mounted.

So there is a "Loop" error, and that's it? Or the "eth0: No such device" is another problem?

Thank you!

i had a problem with my first image and redownloaded everything now i cant create folders or write to sdcard, ubuntu says the folders are read-only
terminal says mkdir failed for /data/local/mnt, File exists (i looked with nautilus there is a tmp folder already /data/local/tmp) is that correct or do i need to delete it?)
mount: mounting /sdcard/external_sd on /data/local/mnt/external_sd failed: No such file or directory

i'm using the full image untouched

For those exposing problems when lauching the script (siggismallz, 12nala34 and others), instead of just typing

sh ubuntuv5.sh

I suggest to try

mount
sh -x ubuntuv5.sh

It will show which mounts are failing
