To bring up the keyboard when you are in the touch pad setting, swipe with two fingers at once. A plus/minus sign with squares in between will appear at the bottom. Click the squares and the keyboard pops up.

Thanks for that. Figured out the problem. I normally use Ultra Keyboard as my input device. Had to set input device to stock (android) keyboard and it now works beautifully. My bluetooth keyboard now works too. Now only wish I could update ubuntu 10.4 to ubuntu 11.4 from the updater icon on the desktop. It does update but then firefox crashes. Please keep up the good work.

Very good, I have installed the Ubuntu1204-v2-Full version and I get a grey screen and a cross in the middle.
I spent the same in Ubuntu 10.10, but I do not remember how I solved.

Can a hand take me to fix it?
Thank you

EDIT:
This is what comes out at the terminal

Code:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ su
# cd sdcard/_ExternalSD/ubuntu
# sh ubuntu.sh
Checking loop device... MISSING
Creating loop device... OK
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Ubuntu is configured with SSH and VNC servers that can be accessed from the IP:
eth0: No such device

Now enter the screen size you want in pixels (e.g. 800x480), followed by [ENTER]:
800x480
Save this as default? (y/n) (to remove default delete the file /root/bootdefaults.txt)

/root/init.sh: line 51: [: ==: unary operator expected

New 'X' desktop is localhost:0

Starting applications specified in /home/ubuntu/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/ubuntu/.vnc/localhost:0.log

/root/init.sh: line 83: /etc/init.d/ssh: No such file or directory

If you see the message 'New 'X' Desktop is localhost:0' then you are ready to VNC into your ubuntu OS..

If VNC'ing from a different machine on the same network as the android device use the 1st address below:
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet addr:10.85.255.54  P-t-P:10.85.255.54  Mask:255.255.255.255
          inet addr:192.168.2.100  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

If using androidVNC, change the 'Color Format' setting to 24-bit colour, and once you've VNC'd in, change the 'input mode' to touchpad (in settings)

To shut down the VNC server and exit the ubuntu environment, just enter 'exit' at this terminal - and WAIT for all shutdown routines to finish!

tried running on my 4G xoom, MZ600, upgraded to 4G by Moto, and was running Team EOS 1.0.0 (4.0.3). i got Linux to install, however i was unable to open it from the VNC application. I kept getting the "VNC Failed to Connect" message. but no error in terminal.

Can GNOME Shell run on the 12.04 image?

MikiBroki · Jun 8, 2012

I get a 'Cannot connect to server' with this image

EDITED: solved

MikiBroki · Jun 8, 2012

My God... first time was all ok but the next time I start Ubuntu I get:

Code:

mount: mounting /sdcard/external_sd on /data/local/mnt/external_sd failed: no such file or directory
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
ubuntu.sh[31]: cannot create /data/local/mnt/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
ubuntu.sh[32]: cannot create /data/local/mnt/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
ubuntu.sh[33]: cannot create /data/local/mnt/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
Ubuntu is configured with SSH and VNC servers that can be accessed from the IP:
eth0: No such device

chroot: can't execute '/root/ini.sh': No such file or directory
shutting down Ubuntu ARM
failed: Invalid argument
failed: Invalid argument

I copied the image again (/sdcard/ubuntu) and same... first time ok, second time error

Any advice ?

Thanks

EDITED: solved by using script Version 6

MikiBroki · Jun 10, 2012

Again... I have the paid version and I'm frustated.

After hours installing and configuring Apache and MySQL and ubuntu image not started anymore

Code:

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/ini.sh': No such file or directory
