I am using the free Ubuntu app and I am running the full Ubuntu 12.04 image. But I've got a few problems:

1) Durring first start-up, I saw in the terminal that my memory card was not mounted. It said that "external-sd could not be found" or something like that, but I am using stock ROM, so my memory card is named "external_sd" not "external-sd", so I am thinking if this is the problem.

2) I am getting read-only errors on the desktop. I can't put anything on it.

3) When I start the ubuntu and the VNC, I get this dialog -"System program problem detected", with option to report this problem, which obviously won't help me.

Any solutions or sugestion about these problems?

Edit: Just now, I checked the boot script and everywhere it says "external_sd", so maybe the "external-sd" is only just how I saw it, but still I don't know why it fails to mount it.

Hi zacthespack,

I'm curious and greatly interested with your project. But I'm a windows guy ever since. I'm a total newb when it comes to linux/ubuntu.

Quick question:

1. Can I install .exe files to my ubuntu-gNote? (from what I've read, I need wineHQ? Will that work?)

2. Will this work on RocketRom ICS v6? Speedmod Kernel (I'll try it personally when No. 1 is confirmed working.)

Thank you so much!

Ok if your using the complete linux installer you can always set your own mount for the external sd otherwise you will need to edit the boot script to include the mount point for your external sd.
Make sure your filesystem is mounted r/w before bootting ubuntu to fix the read only bug.

And the error some timea pops up but dosnt cause any issues after that.

No exe files will not work this are windows excutable files. Wine does allow this in desktop linux but you have to have the same processor architecture as the exe was designed for either 32bit or 64bit processors and our processor is arm.

And yes it should run

Hi.

Thanks for help.

Unfortunately gtk2-engines-pixbuf already installed and the latest.
I tried to remove and install again but not resolved the problem.

I installed an older Audacity version. 1.3.4 but it has exactly same error message and segfaulted.

I'm afraid it is an issue of x11 randr config, but I only guess...

debian install failed.

---

Hi,

I tried debian v3 images (small, large and core) install and barely belive it is working for anyone...

Unknown id: debian

In images, init.sh has ubuntu references/variables in it...
for example: cd /home/ubuntu meanwhile home ubuntu not exists...

Can you confirm debian.sh is not working because init.sh has some bugs?

All my efforts for debian install is only for check why audacity is failed on paid ubuntu... I thought I check audacity whether is working in debian...

Regards,
Robert

Indeed there are issues with debian and backtrakcs init.sh files which will be fixed in the next update you could try using the debian v2 images from source forge. An update should be soon i will likely post a update init for borh of them tomorrow to make sure the bugs are fixed

Hi,

I tried debian small V2 and it started at least, but useless slow and unreliable.
(Ubuntu 12.04 is fast and reliable...)

I'm waiting for updates. (Especially ubuntu with working audacity... if it is planned at any rate...

Regards.

Hi robert1968. I was wondering how you would use audacity as vnc does not transmit sound. Does it convert music files to other formats? If so that might be useful.

Thanks

EDIT: Just downloaded it to my laptop. It's pretty nice! Will try to download it to Note.

EDIT AGAIN: Got audacity to intall on G Note but not sure how to properly test yet. On thing, because of some issues I have with permissions I have to open a terminal and start audacity by doing "sudo audacity". Then the audacity GUI appears on the screen with all the choices for editing. Did you get this far?
