Nandroid and Ubuntu 10.10 working off SD
- Thread starter imperiallight
- Start date
Hello all,
I am anxious to get this Ubuntu running on my HD2 sd card (I currently have Pongster's HyperDroid v12 android running on nand) and HAVE BEEN able to run Debian without a problem whatsoever.
Here is what I get in the Better Terminal Emulator:
Code:export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH:. su cd /sdcard/ubuntu sh ubuntu.sh # export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH:. # su # cd /sdcard/ubuntu # sh ubuntu.sh WARNING: If you have more than 255 apps installed on the SDCard, then mounting ! Apps on the SDCard associate with an encrypted loop device, and there are only . You have to go to Settings -> Manage Applications -> On SDCard, and move some a. Please wait while booting ubuntu.img.. This can take some time... Exiting chroot environment and sync'ing memory to storage.. DO NOT EXIT until finished - doing so may corrupt the ubuntu.img! #
Then I minimize the Better Terminal emulator and go to AndroidVNC (following all the parameters to the letter in the 1st post) and here is my error:
Code:vnc connection failed (127.0.0.1:5900) connection refused
I have tried many different passwords and addresses and absolutely nothing works...Once again I am able to run Debian without a problem at all.
Any Ideas?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
I had the same erro. Anyone can help?
Did you get the
"Exiting chroot environment and sync'ing memory to storage..
DO NOT EXIT until finished - doing so may corrupt the ubuntu.img!"
Error message?
If not, after typing the terminal emulator code, press the home button (not the back button) to exit terminal emulator. Then open VNC app.
If so, then I am not sure
Saw this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468531, and thought of this ubuntu. It might be useful with a usb enabled kernel.
It's too large for free download ^^, i'll keep looking, maybe google has an answer for me, thanks though
This ubuntu works well with usb host kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26592458) and tytung's nexusHD2 2.3 SD build
Am uploading to dev-host, may take some time
Edit; cancel that, Homero2 has kindly uploaded in the parent thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26386541&postcount=260 please press Homero2's thanks button

and how to extract this,I use CMD and this command
but when try to open ubuntu.zip got error
Did you try the instructions at the start of that thread? I think I used bitzipper, but could have been 7zip as the OP stated.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
Edit; I tried "copy ubuntu_01.zip + ubuntu_02.zip + ubuntu_03.zip + ubuntu_04.zip ubuntu.zip" on the four files I have and I cant uncompress the resulting ubuntu.zip either. However if you use 7zip and extract the first (01) file, the rest get extracted too. This should also work with the files you have downloaded. Please report back.
Best of luck.

Hello
I've just run a web server on Ubuntu. http://www.ccu-historian.de/index.php?n=CCU-Historian.Startseite
Is it possible via an external PC access Ubuntu? (LAN, Internet)
How does it work?

has done is
VNC says it all

Instructions
Here are direct links to complete .img file and .sh file to be placed into ubuntu folder on root of SD card (Thanks Infinimint)
http://infinimod.com/projects/fire314/ubuntu-for-android/ubuntu.img
http://infinimod.com/projects/fire314/ubuntu-for-android/ubuntu.sh
Ingredients
ubuntu.img + ubuntu.sh (to be placed in a new folder named ubuntu on the root of your SD card)
Better Terminal Emulator (or other terminal emulator) + AndroidVNC (or other VNC client) from the market
To automate one click startup process via Better Terminal Emulator:
Preferences>Initial command:
Code:export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH:. su cd sdcard/ubuntu sh ubuntu.sh
Or type this for each new session in any terminal emulator:
Code:su cd sdcard/ubuntu sh ubuntu.sh
It says .img loading for a bit. Seems like its not doing anything...it wont confirm when its loaded (about a minute in reality)...
Then I left Terminal running in background while it said it was still loading the img (but don't let it close via task killer or otherwise), held down the hardware menu or home button to switch programs for a bit and connected in via VNC (AndroidVNC)...
address: localhost, port: 5900, and password: ubuntu ... then hit connect (login details will be saved for next time)...
its working fine software keyboard etc and at good speed. In menu options select 24bit colour, local mouse, 1:1 scaling and Touchpad only to make navigating menus much easier.
Normal phone and Android functions should be fine.
Included applications include Firefox, Thunderbird, Openoffice.org suite, GIMP Image Editor, Emacs Text Editor (geared towards programming), C and C++ build-essential, Java JDK, Python, TeXlive and TeXmaker LaTeX editor, Transmission BitTorrent Client, eVince PDF Viewer, File Manager, Terminal, Image Viewer, Leafpad Text Editor, Synaptic Package Manager and Ubuntu Software Center with all repositories enabled, SSH server, Gnash (GNU flash player for Firefox) among others.
Short press hardware menu key to get mouse options etc and longpress to bring up software keyboard (using Android VNC).
Type exit in android terminal emulator to shut down the ubuntu image.
I am using the Hyperdroid Rom off NAND, overclocked at 1.2ghz and a 16GB class 6 microsd (although it should be independent to all this... worth mentioning)
GIMP
Here is Open Office 3.2 on the HD2 using Smart Keyboard Pro from the market.
Edit 1. I Can use my bluetooth keyboard using this nandroid rom to edit open office etc
Edit 2. I can make full screen editing on my PC monitor/TV through connecting it via USB.
HD2 USB connected to a r3610 hanging behind a 42" HDTV connected through HDMI. Using my desktop keyboard and mouse. The Mouse scroll button and right click work just as they would on desktop!
Connect via usb to PC and enable usb debugging on your phone, needs android sdk installed on PC, then you run from pc command line
Code:adb forward tcp:5900 tcp:5900
and you should be able to create a vnc conection from your pc (recommend TightVNC) to:
Code:127.0.0.1:5900 [U]or type[/U] localhost:5900
and use password ubuntu displayed on your monitor or TV. Wireless solution.
In fact, you can use the same method to mirror the Android system using 'Droid VNC' server from the market.
Edit 3. Can also just connect straight to the device via VNC over WIFI but its slightly slower.
Type ifconfig into lxde terminal to find WIFI address, use your desktop VNC viewer (recommend TightVNC) and password ubuntu to log in.
Edit 4. Bluetooth mouse control with cursor now works as well (but its a bit jerky), works much better with 'Remote VNC Pro' from the market selecting use external mouse.
Edit 5. Can only seem to pair bluetooth mouse and keyboard input simultaneously using BlueInput.
Edit 6. To fit whole ubuntu display area onto HD2 screen (as above) or to otherwise change screen res via LXDE terminal:
Restart AndroidVNC but connect to port 5901. You can automate this process by adding it to the end of the Better Terminal Emulator Initial Command script i.eCode:export USER=root vncserver -geometry 800x480
Code:export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH:. su cd sdcard/ubuntu sh ubuntu.sh export USER=root vncserver -geometry 800x480
Just remember to connect on port 5901 instead of 5900 using VNC subsequently.4Download Link

I would suggest you use a download manager, it is 1.5Gb.
I will remove at OP's request.
