Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 android-vnc Defy port
THIS DOESNT MODIFY, REPLACE OR CHANGE YOUR CURRENT ROM OR ANDROID OS. IT RUNS IN CHROOT USING VNC, LIKE A VIRTUAL MACHINE! SO IT CANNOT BRICK OR HARM YOUR DEVICE!
Requirements :
- Root and Busybox installed
- At least 3.5GB free space on SD card
- Android Terminal Emulator (Available on Play Store)
- android-vnc-viewer (Available on Play Store)
Installation guide
1. Download Ubuntu image from Downloads section
2. Extract Ubuntu 7-zip file contents to /sdcard/ubuntu
3. Download ubuntu.sh from attachments to /sdcard/ubuntu and replace the existing one
4. Start Terminal Emulator
5. Type in the following lines, each line is followed by enter (return) key, you'll need to run this only the first time :
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
6. The Installation script starts and it creates necessary files and folders on internal memory, type in starttux
7. When the starttux command finishes, type in ui
8. Now you'll have to switch to android-vnc-viewer without closing Terminal Emulator (press home key to go to launcher and start vnc)
9. Setup VNC viewer :
password : 12345678
address : 127.0.0.1
port : 5901
color format : 24-bit color
10. Now press connect and Ubuntu GUI will start!
11. To exit Ubuntu GUI press menu while in vnc -> disconnect
12. Return to terminal emulator and type in killui
13. Type stoptux
14. Type exit
15. Type exit if Terminal is still opened, reboot device for proper unmount.

Notes :
- Tested on Defy CM10 2007+ by Quarx and HTC HD2 CM9 4.0.4 HWA build
- I recommend using touchpad as input in vnc viewer
- 127.0.0.1 is known as localhost
- If you have any errors post them here
- The script can run without ubuntu.sh from downloads, but I recommend to replace it anyway
- Credits : anantshri for image file
- Soon I'll port Backtrack 5
- Fell free to donate
