My bad you need to mount /system read-write....

Code:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
rm /system/bin/mountosh
rm /system/mountosh.orig
cp ./mountosh /system/bin/mountosh.orig
cp ./mountosh1 /system/bin/mountosh
chmod 755 /system/bin/mountosh.orig
chmod 755 /system/bin/mountosh
mount -o remount, ro /system
reboot

End code

Then you should be able to move to the next step, and launch a terminal and get into synaptic.... you will not actually see a difference in webtop yet thoguh, except that you can get a terminal and run synaptic to install your Desktop of choice like xfce or gnome, or blackbox, etc, then webtop will look quite different.

Hi Jim

I did as you stated above with no errors but now when i plug my phone into my tv doc i dont get a webtop option, i only get entertainment center, in entertainment center there is a webtop icon when clicked i just get the motorola logo moving around my screen

Ok, you are getting closer...

Again, I need the output of a couple commands to know what to do now.

Code:

adb shell
su
busybox df -h | busybox grep -i osh
ls -l /osh/etc/tomoyo
ls -l /osh/etc/toy

End code

C:\Users\BT5\Desktop\ubuntu-1.0.6>adb shell
$ su
su
# busybox df -h | busybox grep -i osh
busybox df -h | busybox grep -i osh
755.8M 681.3M 74.5M 90% /osh
# ls -l /osh/etc/tomoyo
ls -l /osh/etc/tomoyo

Your SDcard is not mounting correctly to /osh

I need you to run some more commands

Code:

adb shell
su
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1 | grep Linux
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 | grep Linux

End code

Do you have an IM account? If so PM it to me, and we can do this real time if you like...

sent im via private message

Just want to let everyone here know, that the issues that some have been experiencing, are because they tried this method on the wrong phone... please be aware these instructions are for the Atrix 2 ONLY.

If you have an Atrix or a Bionic this process most likely will break your webtop. The hardware this will work on is the MB865 ONLY. I will add something into the OP to clarify this.

Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

1st Thank U Jim for your great work!

But I find some problem to download the tar file, when I click the link as below, dropbox.com feedback a error(404), can you help me to transfer it to another file share website?

Thank you very much! and so sorry for my bad English.

Humm, strange, I tested and got the same 404. I went ahead and deleted it from my dropbox and uploaded it again, and it appears to work now. Sorry about that odd glitch.

It's OK, thanks again!
