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

It fails mounting loop to mnt.

Something already mounted on loop255 ?
give those commands :
'uname -a' + 'ifconfig' + 'mount'
just before launching the script

How can I check if is something mounted on the loop? Giving "mount" command in terminal it doesn't sey anything about any loop. I have tried to use another loop (for example loop2, loop7), but without any success. Still I can losetup img on the loop, but I can't mount loop on mnt.

losetup /dev/block/loop255 $kit/ubuntu.img -> seems OK
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop255 $mnt -> it causes error:

mount: mounting /dev/block/loop255 on /data/local/mnt failed: No such device

... but one line before there is "Loop device exists".

Could be the file system a problem? Here I mount in ext2 (-t is option to choose file system) but when I write only "mount" in the terminal it doesn't mention in any line about ext2 file system. Only about yaffs2.

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

Complete Linux Installer Beta released!
The first version of the new signal paid app has been release to the market!
This is a beta version as a few features do not yet works but by the end of the weekend these should be fixed.
Features of the new app include

*Install guides for Ubuntu and Backtrack (Debian to come soon!)
*All updates for all linux distros before other apps
*All features from the paid ubuntu and backtrack apps
*Boot widgets for all support linux distros (however this is not included in this version, will be in next update!)

The idea behind this app is that by buying this app you will get all future Linux distros that I support included in the app, thus this will be the last linux installer you will ever need to buy!
It will always feature everything that I do for the linux on android project.

The first thing you will get before anyone else will be the debian install guide and fast downloads for it, I am just waiting for the files to upload to the server so this should be done hopefully tonight!

There is only one bug right now and that is the lack of widgets, I had some problems getting more than one widget to work but should have this fixed by the end of the weekend.

This is by no means the finished project and is a BETA, but if you can't wait buy now and get the updates right away

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.completelinuxinstaller

After I have released the debian free app and added debian to the complete app I shall be creating a new thread that will cover all the apps as after all It is no longer just ubuntu installer

as always I am rather busy right now, so if you find your not getting the help your need from the forums please feel free to email me!

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.

Thanks for that.
I have created the directories as suggested which seems to have sorted part of the issue but there are more! See screenshot attached.
I have also attempted some of the other suggestions that have been posted but haven't got any where.
Any ideas?

Try to create also etc dir:
mkdir /data/local/mnt/etc

The loop error is different then mine. Have you tried to use other loop? For example loop0 or loop1?

Judging by the "Invalid Argument" error I would suggest it had something to do with an outdated busybox.

You could try getting "Busybox Installer" from the market.
(also found HERE)

It could also be that your kernel doesn't support loop devices, even though it says "Loop device exists". Here's why..

I've looked it the script quite a few times and can't quite grasp this:

if [ -b /dev/block/loop255 ]; then
echo "Loop device exists"

-b isn't a valid argument for 'if' at least according to the man page.

That's why just about everybody receives the message "Loop device exists" even when their kernel might not support loop devices.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I can't find any documentation that says -b is an appropriate argument for if. I suggest changing it to a -d and seeing what happens. Zac, your thoughts on this?

Can you dual-boot it?

I love Android & Ubuntu. Maybe I missed it, but is it possible to dualboot them? (LG-P500h)

I have tried to do it. I think the proper version is with -b. Why? When the loop255 exists and if is with -d argument the script want to create it again. When loop255 do not exist and if is with -b argument it is created and there is no message about loop.

hmmmm this might be a typo on my part! your right the -d argument is used to check if a folder is there, its been so long I don't remember why I put b

Not true dual boot no, running ubuntu natively requires drivers for your own device etc and very few devices have the kind of dev support needed to get this running. This method installed ubuntu within android so all the drivers are already there
