UPDATED script, tnx to TheGrammarFreak

1. Download ubuntu unzip and copy folder ubuntu to sdcard. (632MB zipped take a while, about 2GB unzipped)
2. Download my modified scripts and unzip them to ubuntu folder on your sdcard
3. Boot phone to recovery or fake-flash.
4. Start adb shell
5. cd /sdcard/ubuntu
6. sh ./ubuntu.sh

7. sh ./bootubuntu to test if it working, if you got prompt root@localhost

8. reboot phone
9. Open terminal on phone or adb shell
10. With terminal run su first then bootubuntu, on adb shell: only bootubuntu

11. update your system and install some good stuff:
apt-get update
apt-get install tightvncserver lxde openssh-server
set password for vnc
passwd root (for ssh access)


12. install whatever ubuntu stuff you need

Andriod-vnc apk

Sweet, will definetly try this out when I get some time over.
Good job!

Real sweet. I can't see any use for it myself, but that doesn't make the accomplishment any smaller.

Sent from my Legend using XDA App

Absolutely no use
But I could not resist to give it a go.

Mmmmmm, When i launch adb shell I have :

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Excellent work here snake. Don't see any use for it myself but definitely would impress my friends! Two thumbs up. Another milestone achieve for the Legend.

Did you (by any chance) try to copy/paste that error output into a Google search filed and hit enter??? You would have most probably got a gazillion of hits.

I try and walk =)
It is possible to make a full ubuntu rom replacing the system folder of Android by those of Ubuntu?
Just to see the performance of the phone.

ps : sorry i'm french...

Possible, yes. Of course it is. Likely? No. Unless you start a port.

On the nexus one we can boot from the SD card, why not on the legend ...

But the screen is too small for everyday use.
