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.

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.

Can u check that after doing this steps the /data/local/ubuntu is mounted with the ubuntu.img

Umm, post missing??
I can run ubuntu with sucess and access it with vlc-viewer to localhost.
Do a "cat ubuntu.sh" and manually enter commands to see whish fail
and the same with bootubuntu.

Oops
I'll try again to make it work tomorrow

mmm my post was deleted ?!
I can't mount with indigo bean rom ...
But with anothersotckrom that work fine ^^

need write to /system or something EXEC path

I was the first person I know on the internet to compile nmap for android and this guy ( http://wjholden.com/nmap/ ) took it to the next level got a new phone ( CM6 with OC ) nbow it does not work
* can't write to /system even with rw remount
* if I boot recovery I can' write to /systm but its just a temp fs so failsause ...
* can't ADB shell (read below ) to find out where system is really mounted OR mount the real /system my self ..
* remouted / but anything I add gets wipped on reboot ...
* onlything that works is remount / , copy nmap and then add PATH hackery to EXEC nmap ... on EVERY reboot ...
NOTES BELOW:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701589&page=4
I think its because /system is protected in CM5+ ? even with remount
command... ?
let me know what I need to copy where in recovery mode to /system to
get yours to run properly :/
you could also have your installer check for this and have notes etc ..

You can't write in /system in normal boot mode as security is on (s-on), remounting rw does you no good.
In recovery you will need to mount /system from clockwork before you can do anything.

I do have Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.1 but I am not sure how to get to a shell and or find /system mount path as I can't adb shell ( read above ) so I can't remount or mount /system
rmccurdy.com/nmap.sh * this is what I am using for nmap as of now ..
Usage:
bash -x /sdcard/nmap.sh localhost
etc ...

There's an option in clockwork under partitions to allow you to mount the system. I'm not sure why but a lot of people have an issue getting into su with adb when they are in recovery, the constant /system/bin/sh error is annoying. Also, if I remember right, yaffs2 is not what you use to mount the system when using that command. It's mtdblock3 or something like that if I'm thinking along the correct lines here.
Maybe you should try putting it in a zip file as a script and running it that way since you use a different command (and much easier) to mount the system and write to it. Then again, I'm not sure what you're trying to so so I could just be talking out of my a$$

I can't do anything usefull in recovery ... reboot and apply update.zip but I dont how how nor do I really want to make a .zip / script to mount system etc .. do you know a zip I can work from as an example

The slide doesn't have S-Off, most HTC phones have them now...So you have to wait for Alpharev 2.0 to be released.

Yes, but in recovery we can mount the system and write to it. Phones with s-off can do that while booted normally because the NAND is unlocked and the system is no longer protected.
You can do it one of two ways. This one is easiest if you know linux commands but are unfamiliar with update-script format. Make an update script and put this in there:
Code:
show_progress 0.5 0
run_program PACKAGE:example.sh
show_progress 0.5 10
You don't have to use the show_progress line, it's just for aesthetics.
Make a .sh script, name it whatever you want and put the linux commands you want to execute in the script. For example:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
#
##############################################
mount /system;
rm -rf /nmap
mkdir /nmap
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/nmap' > path
cd /nmap
wget http://rmccurdy.com/stuff/G1/BINS/NMAP/NMAP.zip
unzip NMAP.zip
chmod 777 /nmap/*
export PATH=$PATH:/nmap
echo run /nmap/path before you start nmap
nmap -vvv 127.0.0.1
exit 0;
Or what ever you're trying to get done. I'll upload an example file of all this since hands on is always better. Looking at this though, you may want to have the files in the zip (in the directories they will be installed to) because wget probably wont work since the radio is off while in recovery.

interesting thanks ! ... do you have to resign it and all or can you just edit and rezip it ?

As long as you're using clockwork you just edit and zip. Might be easier to use an archive explorer to open (without uzipping it) then drag and drop, but do what's easiest for you.

[Q] does vegacomb support loop devices / chroot ubuntu?

hey guys, im trying to get chrooted ubuntu running on my vegacomb update 3 vega and am having problems.
Im following the guide here:

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
su

. I haven't done this for quite some time so can't be 100% certain.

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?
