hey all, having problem with my droid razr maxx ubuntu. it was working great for awhile, but i didnt use it for a bit, and reset my phone a few times for other lockups.

anywho, i go to go back into it today and when i boot in

su
cd sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
su
echo USER=root
tightvncserver -geometry 1024x800

I get:
warning localhost:1 is taken because of /tmp/.x1-lock
remove file if no x server on localhost:1
new x desktop is on localhost:2

Ive used:
tightvncserver -kill :1 (2 or 3 or whatever new ones i make kill sucessfully)

But get:
youll have to kill the xtightvnc process manually



How do I get out of this? I cant find the .x1-lock file it mentions to delete, and theres no way to kill :1 (at least that I know about)

I was reading that this happens when ubunutu isnt shut down properly (didnt know just using exit didnt do the trick) so now I cant vnc into my ubuntu anymore and only have the terminal fun****ion!

thanks all!

ps, ive read through all 25 pages of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...718952&page=15
which mentions the lock file problem, but i dont understand from the post how to resolve that, and having less then 10 posts to this forum i cant post the question there.



edit. found it reading over my post, it was case sensitive: rm /tmp/.X1-lock and rm /tmp/.X1-unix/X1 for anyone who finds this psot wioth same problems

Hey, I have D4 with an ICS AOKP ROM, I got Ubuntu up and running, super excited about that, but I can't seem to get my lapdock to work with the device.

I didn't know if I needed the webtop.apk, which isn't available yet on ICS, or if there was another app I could download to work for me as the transfer??

Does anyone have any suggestions?? The mousepad works on ICS when I dock it, it just won't show HDMI through the HDMI port, so no mirroring.

Any suggestions would be great, would love to get Ubuntu working on the dock so this becomes a REAL working unit.

The reason the vncserver requires being on :1 is because the webtop interface is already running.

I added to the top of the ubuntud4.sh script
/etc/init.d/webtop-shutdown.sh

and at the bottom
/etc/init.d/webtop-restart.sh

with this you don't have to modify anything else besides the ubuntud4.sh

I did edit the init.sh to autofill in my preferences.

What I am really looking to do though is getting the webtop which is the pre-built ubuntu that is already installed on the phone to listen on the tcp port. currently is is ran with -nolisten tcp and I have tried to remove that from the scrip yet it still shows so it must be somewhere else.

I unmount the loop245 you have to kill all the processes that are spwaned by ubuntu you can do that like this

for pid in `lsof | grep "\/data\/local\/mnt\/ubun" | awk '{print $2}'`
do 
  kill $pid
done

or a single line

for pid in `lsof | grep "\/data\/local\/mnt\/ubun" | awk '{print $2}'` ; do kill $pid ; done

Here is the script I use
The REZ=1024x768
wont do anything unless you edit your init.sh to not get that info.

fille permissions on ubuntu directory?

---

For some reason I keep getting "cd: can't cd to ubuntu" whether it was created on the internal sdcard or external sdcard-ext directory. I am assuming the permissions are not right. If I try to look at the permissions with a "ls -l ubuntu" it says no such file or directory. Yet I can connect via windows explorer and can access the directory just fine.

What am I doing wrong?

droid 4 wont boot

---

I did this, and ubuntu is running correctly through vnc, which is incredible! Thanks! But once I rebooted my droid, it booted to the eye, and then kept rebooting there, in an endless loop, and never booted until the battery died. Anyone know how to fix this, or have any suggestions how to proceed?

Thanks in advance.

I have modified the d4 script for ICS 4.04.
This also includes a few smaller fixes like directory creation for first time users.
Fixed: Directory creation
Fixed: Busybox in /system/bin OR /system/xbin
Fixed: Edited out /system remount as its not needed
Fixed: Added Remount of /sdcard-ext so that you can run the .sh directly from there.
Fixed: Killing Processes - Thanks to Devils Claw
Fixed: Unmounting filesystems correctly.

I haven't seen this, have you made any other mods?
