[Ubuntu Image] 1st really working simple to install Ubuntu on your phone

[Homefix]

And when you do all the steps does it work?

And has anyone actually gotten this to work?

Could someone let me know if it worked for ya?

It doesn't work, the bootubuntu script doesn't work. The mount commands won't work, even after doing su.

I already asked the question and never got an answer. Which terminal app are you using? I think the terminal emulator apps I've been trying might not have enough privileges.

Android terminal emulator Jack Polevich
or terminal that is part of this rom: cm_supersonic_full-6.zip http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=nightly


Does it work?
I will unzip and check if it works myself

Just checked Works wonderful
it may be the rom your using
it should work with most roms

This sounds awesome! I have a few errands to run, but when I get back later on I'm going to install this. I'm a big linux fan and have been running different distros for years. (started on Red Hat, then Gentoo [which is the best IMO], and now Xubuntu)

One suggestion that I have is doing this with Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu. GNOME is a memory intensive hog. Xubuntu comes with XFCE as default and is much faster and uses less memory. Of course, you can use the package manager to install XFCE (and uninstall GNOME) so this could be accomplished by any user...but it would probably run alot faster and efficiently on a phone with XFCE.

When I give this a shot, I'll be trying to install the XFCE window manager as well.

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Why crack wep? I've been in many situations where someone has forgotten their password for instance. It's also a blunt way to demonstrate to someone how weak their security is. Point being there are legitimate reasons.

That being said, I was under the impression that the wireless chip could at least be put into promiscuous mode. Yes, maybe not inject packets, but it's something.

Right on, either should work anyhow. Not to be an ass or anything, but is it possible that you could upload this compressed file in anything other than .zipx? .tar .bz2 .zip .rar or anything else would be fine...a lot of people who aren't running a variation of windows (including myself) are having issues decompressing this format.

It seems the 7-zip utilities are working on a solution for the problem, although when I extracted it, I got plenty of errors. I'm going to load up the files tomorrow and try it anyhow. The only other workaround seems to be installing wine (or using a windows distro) in order to extract it.

A simple solution would be compressing in .rar format. Although .tar.bz2 offers extremely high compression...(a.k.a. might take a bit to compress/extract but you'd save time uploading files)

If it's not possible, I understand. I've been following your other thread for a bit and might just give it a shot. (It sounds like fun and I'm very well versed in linux methods) Did you use the same method to create the image that you did in this thread?
