Does the Legend kernel have support for loop devices?
EDIT:
Well, I pulled the config file from my legend and the dumfuq OC kernel looks like it might do, but I'm not sure if it's commented out... Also, we need the loop devices in order to mount the Ubuntu images, so if support isn't there someone is gonna have to compile a few kernels that do have it...
EDIT:
Argh!!! I can't even download the sodding files needed, my internet keeps dropping out.

Follow the instructions here
http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/
I had made a little change to the bootubuntu script , to make it work for legend
Download it from here
http://10stones.com/ubuntu/bootubuntu
I had tried it on stock rom , 2.1 update 2 , with temporary root access using the Universal And Root .
make sure you ran the "sh ./ubuntu.sh" command each time you change the bootubuntu.
Since mine was a temporary root i pushed the busybox binary to /data/ using
adb push busybox /data/
download the busybox binary from here
http://10stones.com/ubuntu/busybox
** For custom roms the busybox will be installed.
If you are facing any problems reply with the output of commands.

Please help me.
Sorry, missed this somehow :/
the mount and image points are static, i see you have them possibly in the wrong spot. the .img file needs to be on the third partition of your SDcard (the ext4 one). if you place it somewhere, you need to tell the script where to find it.
these scripts were written with static mount points, so placement of the files is crucial.

Is it that vegacomb doesnt support loop devices:? Or am i missing something else? Ive checked and i have busybox installed and working correctly, but that doesnt seem to have changed anything?
Thoughts?
The vega does support loop devices, infact I have that setup running on my vega on vegacomb right now!
In order to get it working download the new scripts from the ubuntu on xoom section of the androlinux site, that worked for me fine!
Bear in mind, the version of ubuntu supplied in the image file is something like 9.10 which is very old, and the image is only 2gb which doesn't leave enough space for updating. Consider following their guide for building your own image.
Anyway, best of luck, I had to get over a few problems when installing it myself, but that may have been related to my setup, so if you have any problems I will keep an eye on this thread!
Happy Ubuntuing
Thanks for the reply, I will try the xoom scripts and see how I get on. I saw the section about building my own but wanted to try and easy 9.10 install first before building my own xubuntu 11.10. Il let you knw how I get on
Could you post your bootubuntu script up please?
I have tried lots of different loop device numbers but am getting no where!
I haven't altered my bootubuntu script at all from the default xoom one, I will post it at the bottom!
There are a few things worth checking for that may help your problems, check that the ubuntu folder on your sd card with the .img file in uses a lower case U, that caught me out the first time as my vega keyboard auto-capitalises.
Also did your ubuntu.sh script run without errors? It worked fine on mine with the old ubuntu.sh and the new bootubuntu script but you may want to try running the xoom shell script.
Hope this helps!

Right i must be missing something, i cant find the xoom section on the website so have tried your bootubuntu script in my folder but it still fails.
Can you post me a link to the xoom section of the site please so i can start over in case i missed something earlier in the process?
Thanks
right im missing something, even tried this setup here;
http://trsohmers.com/2011/03/06/how-to-run-ubuntu-on-the-motorola-xoom/
and still no luck. I have a rooted device but its almost as if the scripts are not running as root, i get permission denied messages when chmod 4777 and that shouldnt happen as root.
Im running 1.17 of busybox, not that it should matter. I am getting sick of this not working, no idea why, thinking i might have to bin vegacomb to at least work out where root might work (ie a simpler rom).
I can't remember the exact process, but I do remember getting this. I think I was missing the root login. Are you running these command as root? I think you have to use

Heya, sorry it's been a while since I've been on the forums, it seems like something has more than likely gone wrong when you ran the ubuntu.sh shell script, can you post the output?

Hello guys,
Thank you all for the amount of support you have given this project! I have now decided to stop updating this thread. If people still have bugs or want to keep following this project please go to the Main project thread HERE.
I will stop updating this thread because I feel we now know what roms/kernels do and don't work so there is no need for me to keep updating this thread (And the other 5 threads I run for certain devices), but of cause if you do still have problems reply to the main thread or PM me!
Once again thank you all!!
I have released the first version of my app, which guides you through the installation of Ubuntu within android via chroot. It includes a ubuntu 10.10 image I have been working on which includes lots of program to allow users to develop program/scripts etc within Ubuntu on there phone/tablet.
However I have only been able to test the app on my HTC Desire S and Gen 8 Archos tablet and as such I need you guys to test this on your phone/tablet and post back how it works on your device!
Please post your device/kernel/rom along with what did and didn't work, so I can draw up what I need to change in the next release of the app/ubuntu build.

I also want to build up a small group of testers who I can email with new images and scripts, these will include all future distros that I do. If you are interested in joining this test group please PM me or send a email to [email protected]
The only requirement is that your willing to test and send feedback along with screen shoots etc where required, it would also be good if your willing to try different roms and kernels for your device!

The Backtrack 5 app has now been released! it is £1.25 from the market (there is not free version and it is a little more because there was alot more work needed to get it working well!)
The forum thread is HERE
Sounds interesting. Assume it allows Ubuntu installation on the fat32 partition of our sd card? Do we need to create an ext loop device?
But why 10.10?
Edit, nevermind it says loop device in market.

all you need to do is place the image and boot script in a folder on your sdcard (the main fat32 partition) and then run the boot script and it will do the rest for you
Excellent. Just downloading the large image now.
FYI my rom didn't know what to do with the ubuntu.sh when downloading and consequently failed. I had to download via PC. May be worth uploading that in a zip.
Will keep you posted.

Ok cool I will do this in the next release!
Cool. May also be worth taking the money made on the paid version and investing in an ftp server so one of the benefits of the paid version is fast downloads.
After ages downloading the ubuntu image (which was slow) on my desire, it wouldn't open (possible corruption). So just redownloading it on PC. Still really slow, but should be reliable at least.

I can confirm everything is working ok at my end and no one else who has downloaded it (around 200 people) have had this problem, I will in the next few day be uploading new versions to my ftp server to give faster speeds (this will only be for the paid version however I will PM you the link for the 800x400 full version)
thanks very much. I will try and download one more time from a different source.
Just odd I get this on Ubuntu and Android :/
What application was used to zip the files?

looking closer at your shell:
Code:
busybox mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd /data/local/mnt/external_sd
I don't know what /sdcard/external_sd is as the root of my sd card is mnt/sdcard/ so I would have expected to bind that? That said, /data/local/mnt/sdcard now exists (and is the correct mount point).
Let me know any information you want to know about my directory structure.
Its a standard AOSP build, not sense. You can download the ROM from my site in my signature if it helps.
Also, if you have any amendments you want me to test on your shell, just let me know. Cheers

Well the main error is likely the same as most people are getting, but its one of two things either your phone is using loop7 for something else, or the file system used dosnt support the larger image. To test if its the latter please try the light weight image, as those that it was the second problem could mount the small image.
the external sd card error is fine, the code is in the script for tablets that have both internal memory which is often mounted /sdcard and then a normal sdcard is mounted sdcard/external_sd.
I will be releasing a new version of the boot script likely tomorrow which it would be wonderful if you could test!
That was the lightweight image.
What else uses loop7 in a rom?
I use no a2sd scripts. The only "special" modification is expandable RAM disk for market downloads, which doesnt use loop.
I use FAT32 on SD card so its not the size of the img file thats a problem

I know that loop devices are used by some programs but manly used for having apps on the sdcard, but I think its best to hold for the next script release (very very soon I hope!)
Sure, no worries

Here is a new version of the boot script including alot of changes ad improvements alot thanks to Lubensius, the script is now alot 'smarter' and should work on a better range of devices. Can you please all test this new script so I can stamp out any other bugs before including it in the next release of the app. If you could say if the old version worked or not and then if the new one does or does not work.
Thank you
New Script
