So I got it to boot wonderfully except I have no keyboard input...I assume you need the dock ?
Also for those who don't have paranoid android installed and dont have boot.img of their ROM I took a back up of the boot partition using TWRP and just restored it when in was done and it worked like a charm!

Onboard virtual keyboard is installed, but there is a display problem (all black). The fix for this is posted HERE.
As I have a dock, I didn't think about the keyboard for login. Looks like lightdm and lxdm don't have the universal access menu that is in unity-greeter, so a dock or usb keyboard is needed for login atm. As time permits I will look into how this login issue can be addressed.
OK, so I tried it too. Some first impressions:
* Touchscreen, keyboard dock and touchpad work fine.
* WiFi works too.
* Everything is very tiny. "xrandr --dpi 160" helps a bit.
* Most dock special keys send the correct keysyms corresponding to their label, but maybe XF86Back should be mapped to Esc instead
* Connecting a HDMI cable freezes the system
* Booting with connected HDMI cable also hangs at the bootloader screen
* I don't understand why "mount -o loop /mnt2/ubuntu /mnt" in the initrd works, shouldn't it be "-o bind"?
For an early alpha: very impressive!

Awesome work! Everything works great and fast except the wifi only works sporadically for me. It worked right after installing but then on and off after the first reboot. I reinstalled and it doesn't seem to have helped. Any idea what could be going on?

how to install without keyboard?
/edit
sorry didnt read all
cant login yet without dock. is it possible to boot back in android and modify with rootexplorer some files in lubuntu to set autologin with username AND password?
i only found solutions:
file: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=ubuntu
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=Lubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
but how to set autologin password?
can s.o. help me?

The display manager doesn't need a password, the username is enough to autologin. There is no way of specifying an autologin password, as it should never be saved unencrypted on disk.
It may be better to add the line
pam-service=lightdm-autologin
as well.
If the problem is just that the gnome-keyring asks for the password after login, then you have to change the password of the "login" keyring to the empty one (use seahorse). I do not recommend it, though, as it means that all the saved passwords, such as in epiphany, chromium, empathy etc. will be saved unencrypted.
Can you autologin now? Your configuration should work as it is, but if it doesn't then something else is wrong.
Does CWM backup the boot partition? If it does, can I just boot into recovery and perform a restore in order to return to Android?

You don't need to restore Android, you just need to restore the boot image for your ROM. The boot image for Paranoid Android is included in the OP, and you just flash via recovery, reboot, and your old Android system is back. If you use a different ROM, you would need to build a zip to flash that (which is what I've done for CleanROM)...
Here's the flashable boot image for CleanROM 2.4 (probably works for 2.3 also, but haven't tested):

I'm not sure if anyone has gotten back with you but I was able to download complete Linux installer and Linux deploy to get things working on mine. I like the setup on Linux deploy better and you can download the proper zip files from the other for free. Currently still hitting a couple walls getting all the settings right for a successful launch but there is still a lot of into to be seen. Lubuntu doesn't seem to be offered from these but several other distributions are. Both are available from google play. I hope this help. It will surely keep you busy if nothing else
