Default Linux Installer

There is this linux installer app in the market (link).

As it needs root, and I haven't done it yet, is there anyone here that have tried it??

Thanks,

Anyone else tried this? I'm having some issues with getting mysql up and running. If anyone is asking well, I'm trying to transform my phone into a server and host my own site

Just because I CAN! *evil laughter*

It seems we now have a computer much more than a smartphone...

Maybe it's time to root to test this.

If it has aircrack-ng then it will worth the work.

Managed to connect via SSH from PC. Still haven't looked into the MySQL issues though.

I finally unbootlocked and rooted my ChaCha and installed this.

I installed Debian, and I'm ready to start testing things.

I installed stable but manually upgraded to testing. But I couldn't setup a SSH server.

Where did you got from??

What do you have in your sources.list?

Update apt from the Distribution Manager and afterwards:

Code:
apt-get check
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install ssh
I still couldn't get MySQL server 5.1 up and running; I have a strange feeling there's something wrong with the distribution, as I've just installed it on my ubuntu box without any errors.


Can you give it a try?
Code:
apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
It should print out something about package not configured yet at some point.



EDIT: Forgot to add

Code:
apt-get install openssh-server
Start the ssh server with
Code:
/usr/sbin/sshd
with "sshd" only you'll get the following error:
Code:
sshd re-exec requires execution with absolute path
Afaik, the sshd $PATH is defined wrong for the service so that's why running it simply with sshd won't work.

Test the functionality afterwards with:
Code:
ssh localhost

Forgot to add the info you requested for sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze/squeeze main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze/squeeze main non-free
Should be the same though I think. What's yours?

Ok. I'll try that.

I already installed psmisc so I could try the lsdev command.

But as it uses /proc and /dev folders, and none of them are in the chroot, they are useless...

But I will try to somehow link from inside the chroot to the actual folders, to try if they work.

EDIT:

I tried mysql server, and I had an error just in the very final stage of setup.



Is this the same for you??
