Hmm, looks like some confusion in here?

DL the flashable zip, extract. bin contents go in /system/bin, and etc contents go in /system/etc.

The .img (renamed to Linux.img) goes in /sdcard/debdroid, and shouldn't tried to be copied to anywhere in /system.

Now, I installed the manual way, and I didn't have to chmod anything..

Just from a terminal, cd /system/bin , then sh debdroid

It ran just fine, but of course some extra work needs to be done to get a GUI. Once terminal was at root@debdroid I had to:

apt-get update
apt-get install lxde

Vnc looked to already be installed, but as the previous user said, vnc viewer couldn't connect to anything. Figured out I had to echo a bunch of commands from another website:

echo ‘#!/bin/sh’ >> /root/.vnc/xstartup
echo ‘xrdb $HOME/.Xresources’ >> /root/.vnc/xstartup
echo ‘xsetroot -solid grey’ >> /root/.vnc/xstartup
echo ‘icewm &’ >> /root/.vnc/xstartup
echo ‘lxsession’ >> /root/.vnc/xstartup
From this sitehttp://yanzicjustnubie.wordpress.co...-easy-way-to-install-debianubuntu-on-android/

Apparently, this let's vncserver have access to xfce

Then, use
vncpasswd
And set your password (for use in vnc viewer)

Now the next part was weird...I was trying to set vncserver geometry with the command

vncserver -geometry 800x480

However, the command "vncserver" with any dependency kept giving me an error that the desktop was locked due to a file, and it was now creating a new desktop...the desktops were numbered and kept increasing sequentially as new desktops were created and locked

Sooo...what I suggest is, after using all the echo commands, then just type

Vncserver

It will probably give you an error that the debdroid:1 is locked due to blah blah blah, creating debdroid:2

That's your hint right there. Go back to your vnc viewer, then connect @ 127.0.0.1 port 5902

Remember, yes vnc uses port 5900, but you need to change the last number to reflect the desktop number...so for example, I kept using the "vncserver -geometry" like an idiot even though it gave me errors; when I stopped, the last error message stated the desktop was now at debdroid:4, so in vnc viewer my port had to be 5904. Wala, I now have a GUI.

I'm admittedly terrible with linux stuff, so please somebody explain what I could have done differently; otherwise, these terrible steps will at least get you into a GUI

In the custom BT image is a script titled startvnc or startvncserver simply do vncpasswd before hand.

got it working easily using custom backtrack img file. my vnc viewer keeps crashing though. other than that, it was up and running using vncpasswd and startvnc commands. no extra work.

edit: crash was caused by junk vnc viewer i wasted ten bucks on, since it said ics support. using a better one that was free and all is good.

Obviously, if I don't know what this is, it probably isn't something I should use. LOL
