Hey all. Is it possible to instal linux on the swift? WITHOUT using androidVNC?
Sent from my GT540 using XDA Premium App
Always though android was linux based, can you sum androidVNC up in a few word for us?
As far as i know you can make a dual boot installing debian or ubuntu, but the whole replacement of the firmware i dont know!
that would be awsome when someone makes dual boot to our swift with ubuntu/android , i installed ubuntu , but it needed androidVNC, for graphical use, but without androidVNC , you can use terminal(commands)(without kde,gnome or something)
by the way, is it easy todo dual boot menu for our swift?
i've installed ubuntu on my pc , to start with that

You still expect that? I had this in my mind too but it's just too much of work. I mean modifying the boot loader completely needs a good amount of programming knowledge.

hello,
as you probably know ubuntu has bin able to run on the nexus one and evo 4g i have spoken to the dev of both the ''mods'' and he has informed me that if someone can make a kernel for the droid x with loop devices enabled and u follow hes video its possible that ubuntu can run on the droid x.he's exact words are ''You will need a new kernel image with loop devices enabled I think. I haven't tried it on Droid X yet but it should be possible with that new kernel. You should ask someone on XDA to compile a new kernel with loop device support, someone will do it.'' and im hopping someone here can do it and we can all run ubuntu on out droid x's i would do it myself if i had any idea of what to do lol.
thank you for your help and good luck to all ubuntu loving droid x users.
You can't flash a new kernel but you can probably build loop as a module.
As for ubuntu I had sucess in running Debian from my second SD partition in a chroot environment. I installed with debootsrap and have apt nmap wifi, etc. I just need to compile a compatible kernel (for ubuntu not android) for a full install.

As of right now we have no way to boot a custom kernel even if one were to be created.
yea and how long can it take for u to compile one for ubuntu and once you have compiled one for ubuntu will it actually work for booting ubuntu even in ui mode as i can use terminal but it would be more eye-candy with the UI

sounds good man , so will this be like a rom i install and that enables me to install ubuntu?
Gotta love open source!
can u tell me how to get debian on my droid x?
Has any progress been made on creating a loop device module and getting ubuntu( or any distro) running on our droidx?
I'm willing to test.
I have been busy lately an unable to post a mini guide on getting this done. Just had my first child!!
In anycase I haven't tried making a loop module, I am waiting for the 2.2 kernel source. But I did make a second ext3 partition on my sd card and used debootstrap to install debian. It is currently only a chroot environment but I can use apt to install pacakgrs over wifi.
Hopefully in a few days I will have some time to post a step by step. If you want to try you can do some research on debootstrapp. I used a card reader to format the sd and use debootstrap to install ubuntu or debian.

So with the Update.zip creator, would this be used for custom ROM's or only updating the firmware?

Has anyone tried the top link? I would love to have a dual booting machine. It says it is possible but they haven't had any luck with dual booting with Ubuntu. I like to try with windows and this seems to be the most user friendly and update to program.

I am just seeing this so haven't tried anything out but wanted to say I am running Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu now. I have done it with other versions in the past.

If you have windows installed you just boot to the ubuntu cd and go through the setup. It will give you the option to resize the drive to make a partition for Ubuntu. Pick a size and go through the install. Once it is done when you boot you will have the option to boot from Windows or Ubuntu. If I remember right it will default to Ubuntu if you don't make a choice within the defined time. You can edit Grub to change that. You can do this to change it to windows if you prefer http://www.hackourlife.com/change-default-boot-order-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/.

You can also go to the Ubuntu website and you can download the windows installer that lets you dualboot if you didnt have a cd burner (or if its broke like mine lol) or if you dont wanna wait for the cd to be shipped.

Yeah you can use it for custom roms because it lets you edit the updater script. You could use it for themes, apps, scripts, kernels, or pretty much anything you wanna flash
Dual booting win7 and ubuntu on my netbook. Simple as pie.

Or you could edit the updater-script . But really, if your gonna get your hands dirty and make flashable zips you should look at someone elses first. Or, even write your own from scratch.

Yeah I splice roms together pretty often. Its not that hard but hey, why not just use a tool to make it simpler =)

But, then you don't know what's actually going on...I think it'd be better to know how to make it from scratch and not know how to use a tool, then it'd be to know how to use the tool and not how to make it from scratch.

Hello Everybody,
I have a crucial question about installing Ubuntu in my TF101 B70KAS40: Could be possible to play in www doesnt matter co
This web uses Applets Java for running card games and other weak games, like chess. Currently, I can´t play using any browser under Android.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Thank you very much for the reponse, I'll try dual boot after holidays
I don't have the answer, but try it, you'll have a real os on board
I used to play with open office, better than all the writing apps on the market... (it was before i flash an EOS nightly rom...).
If your tablet is allready rooted, you should give it a try...
Install openJDK and the icetea browser plugin for java and it should run fine. I use my tablet to program my chatroom, which happens to be written in Java.
kenshin, do you mean that it is possible to install openJDK and icedtea ON android ?
or i missed something ?
Where can we find them ??
TY
Not on android, but if you dual boot Ubuntu and install them on Ubuntu they will run on Firefox that comes with Ubuntu.

ok thank you kenshin1388, i hope i will be able to CHROOT ubuntu at first before planing a dual boot...
If you know an easy tuto to dual boot ubuntu, don't hesitate to share
Anyone else thinks the OP just posted this to get traffic to the website?
Hey guys , ive been searching for days but cant seem to find a guide or download for this anyewhere , was wondering is it possible to boot ubuntu natively on our tegra note 7 ? ive already tried and suceeded in running ubuntu in android using the chroot method but i want to know is it possible to boot straight to / dualboot ubuntu ?

I take it you mean Ubuntu in its direct form like the standard Desktop OS ?
If so there is a arm version of Ubuntu Server 14.04 coming out soon but thats a ARMv8 only. Now heres the catch our Tegra Note 7 is based on a Coretx A15 SOC which is ARMv7.
Now the only version of Ubuntu i know that was ported to ARMv7 was Ubuntu 12.04.
There was a Tegra 2 Version of this which you can read about here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100
So its possible, however as of yet the only other option would be Ubuntu Touch but thats not a native ubuntu.
thank you
Thanks for the reply and link , ill have a look and see what i can find , if i manage to get anything done ill post back here

Yes i will make a thread , unfortuneatly i have not tested any applications on it as of yet , i should have the thread ready by sometime tomorrow
Did anyone figure out how to do it ?
I can at least vouch that the Tegra 2 version of Ubuntu worked on my Acer A500. If you can live with the basics, it's cool, but the amount of software available for ARM is minimal. It's also very unfriendly to touch, so you'll need a mouse. I personally can't think of anything I was able to do with it that I wasn't already able to do more easily with Android, so eventually I took it off.
I ve just read an article here on xda how to install debian on top of Android so i am just curious is there a way to just install linux not on top of android.I have advanced knowladge of Windows and Android and basic terminal knowladge in Linux and i am good at following guides and tutorials but i am far from developer and programer so keep that in mind and keep it simple as possible.Thanks in advance

Well actually, have u tried searching on how to replace Android os with bodhi?, u could also say the same for the 13.04 Ubuntu desktop as well.... That is of u know how to change the repos, update and fix errors. Arch Linux is another option... Been trying to get that one to work but nothing happens correctly smh

i understand there is a difference between arm and x86 architecture but is there anyway to install for example lubuntu or lxle on grouper.
Also there is support for installing all ubuntus befor 13.04 so if i download lubuntu 12.04 is it going to work since it is based on ubuntu?!?
