Any other links for ubuntu.zip on a faster fileshare service than the one's in the www.androlinux.com guide?

I'll rehost it myself when it eventually finishes but if anyone has another link before then then please post it.

works for me, now I connect via TightVNC from Windows 7 and see greay screen with "X" as mouse pointer.. Also I'm connected via SSH with PuTTY.. I don't know much about Linux but I typed startx and it does something, I hope it will show desktop
Edit:
It says "Fatal server error: no screens found".. What should I do??
Edit2:
got it typed "gnome-session &" (I love you google ) and it seems to load gnome (at this time only Background Image).. Crossing fingers
Edit3:
Now grey bars at top and bottom, maybe it hangs, but hopefully it just starts slowly..
Edit4:
should it take so long??
Edit5:
yep it takes that long, desktop is build very slowly but this is still some crazy ass **** btw. enough edits for now

My desktop was created in few seconds. But I was working with some old and modified Ubuntu version.
I was working with this instructions: http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/ on 2.2 android version.
I hope this would help you (sorry because my bad English).

I ve` tried linux installer recently and it worked. I installed debian, in my oppinion this is the easiest way, you just choose which distribution, size of the loop.img and where to install and that is it.

Version 1.0.0 works fine for me. I've been using it since it was released and I've noticed only one reboot. There are patches that fixes compass and camera as well (read the thread). It's stable enough for daily usage (tested with ARC theme).

Spevky i have the same issue, but 2 days ago i've tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135965 on stock 2.1 and the answer in terminal was cyttsp_i2c_probe: Successful registration cyttsp-i2c, so i've installed MultiTouch Visualizer 2 and check and it's ok, but in maps or opera mobile it's not work (because stock rom).
So i've change rom to GingerDX v003 i try again and got no answer in terminal emulator, like you.
I'll check this more later by putting this module in phone and try again with execute command in terminal and next MultiTouch Visualizer 2.

[SCRIPT] Change Hostname v6 08/07/2012

This will also be the last update to this script for the foreseeable future. Someone else is more than welcome to take what is here and run with it though.
08-07-2012 fixed a few typos and problems with quotes.
01-29-2012 added some variables to check for the existence of things and get correct paths.
01-06-2012 fixed hostname path.
01-02-2012 Updated to truly work on all devices.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Big thanks to cdesai for pointing out a nice little enhancement.
This is version 5 of this script.
This script is designed to change the hostname of your device so that you can access it through your network by name instead of android_0123456789ABCEDF.
Your device will also be able to be seen at your router by the new name as well.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#change devName to whatever you want.
devName="changeMe"
#random variables
devHostPath=$(which hostname)
devGetPath=$(which getprop)
devSetPath=$(which setprop)
if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" = "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname does not need to be changed."
else
echo "Device hostname is being changed to $devName."
$devHostPath $devName
$devSetPath net.hostname $devName
if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" != "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname has not been changed."
else
echo "Device hostname has been successfully changed."
fi
fi
Download Hostname.sh
Download Hostname.sh to your device.
Use a text editor to change the "changeMe" in the script to whatever you want. [Keep the quotes]
Use Script Manager to run the script.
The script output will tell you if the command has completed successfully.
Once it has been run your device will be named whatever you change the "changeMe" to.
*Additionally, this script should be able to be run on any device without issues but I have only tested this on Galaxy Nexus AOKP and Droid Bionic Eclipse v3.0.
**Standard disclaimer, I am in no way responsible for ANYTHING that happens to your phone that you have done.
***This code is provided free of charge and is released with no warranty explicit or implied.
If you find this post useful or it helped in any way please hit the thanks button.

Can anyone confirm this worked for them? Doesn't seem to be working for me.

What's the output when you run it?
And when you run it a second time?
You can check at your router as well by logging into it and checking the DHCP leases.
Oh, I figured this was assumed, but you have to have root and run it as root.

Not all roms will have bash, and even those which have it is mostly in /system/bin
Using /system/bin/sh would be the best way!

Yet another idea, you can specify the host name while executing the script as an argument (quick changes )
You can use read devname and if it's empty you can get model no. From build.prop

I left it static so that it can be run at boot and will always have the same name. The model could work but it is more for changing the name to something you want rather than being dictated what it will be.
Oh and depending on your model you could have a space or other special in it.

Hi everybody !

Let me work on this a little and get back to you. It looks like you don't have busybox installed, which you "shouldn't" need.
What is your device?
[EDIT] Give the new version a shot and let me know how you make out.

LG Revolution
On LG Revolution running GingerVolt 1.3, I had to change /bin/hostname to /system/xbin/hostname.
The script can be modified to determine the location of hostname command , rather than hardcoding the path.

I am working on a V5 of this which should be released within the next 2 weeks that should address almost all issues. It works as is on some devices but not all.
I have also found from my testing that setting the hostname is inconsequential and will only appear when you run the hostname command.

Thanks! This is the path on the Galaxy Nexus (ICS 4.02) and i was able to get it to update successfully.
However, if this does not update the host name that is sent to my wireless router, the point of the exercise is moot to me. But at least I learned a little bit more about my phone!

This has been posted elsewhere, but to set the name set for the Wifi DHCP request:
Code:
echo yourphonehostname > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
Obviously, this needs root. You can stick that in a new or existing script in /etc/init.d.
No need to reboot the phone for this to take effect. Stop and start wifi to get the phone to request a new DHCP lease. Note that if your phone was already connected to a router, then the new name might not show up immediately. You'll need drop the previous name from the router dhcp client table by either waiting for the lease to expire, rebooting the router or expiring the lease manually (e.g., in Tomato Admin GUI, click on the remaining lease time under lease column in the Status -> Device List page.)

[ShellScript] AndroidFilesInstaller.sh by Adrian DC

Hi everyone !
There's now a lot of features.
Read the webpage to get more informations.
Would you like to install files on Android quickly and with securities? Then read this..
Here are some previews of an earlier version :
This script will run with SManager SManager (ScriptManager),
which is a free and easy to use application for Android.
Before doing anything to the Android system files,
it is obviously highly recommended and adviced
to have a backup in case the files aren't compatible.
Please see the recoveries softwares specific to your phone.
I cannot guarantee this script will work for everyone,
I even know it won't work for everyone because each phone is different
and given the various versions of android and custom roms,
the shell and busybox may not be the same.
You'll need the root permissions to run this script,
I avoided it to run unless it gets root permissions.
busybox also has to be installed (both often go together).
I use busybox 1.20 on my SONY ICS 4.0.3 ROM for the SE Xperia Arc S.
List of phones confirmed to be working with this script :
- Sony Ericsson Xperia S - Android ICS
You can download the script and get infos here :
> http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com/androidfilesinstaller.html
You can find more on this thread of the french Android website and forum :
[Infos] Modifications de la ROM SONY ICS Officielle on PhonAndroid
Thanks for taking interest in this script.
You may contact me to report a bug or ask for a functionality,
or even to say it works fine xD
Have a good day !

Was wondering when you'd see this
Could you guys test my AndroidFilesInstaller script?
I've got some people using it now, and they're all happy about it so far.
I added some nice features in the v7 :
- Automatic AndroidFilesInstaller.sh on sdcard search and replace to update quickly
- Some securities added to the transfert of files.
- Folders with spaces in the name now work too
I'm readapting ViewtyGate website to a new ArcSGate.
Easier to manager files, I'll use my direct files uploader scripts.

But I'd like you to test it before.
Could you get online when you can, or send me a PM?
Thanks ! Have a nice day !
ADC
EDIT : So.. Did a lot of things on the script to make it even more clean.
\n are gone, that's sure. Other possible problems are gone too.
Many improvements and securities added.
I've put all user available variables at the beginning of the script.
It's all more dynamic and adaptive.
Works perfectly for me and a friend using other Android versions.
The script now also request SManager.
If SManager isn't detected or Root access not given,
you won't be able to run the script. It'll stop at the beginning.
This version 8 is online and available, let me know !
ADC

The v17 of AndroidFilesInstaller.sh will handle complete folders installation from the v16,
aswell as a new security to avoid installation if the file wasn't properly copied to the system,
for example when the available memory space is unsufficient.

Hey !
The problem mainly comes from an incomplete linux shell,
and this comes because of an incomplete version of busybox and / or superuser.
Try updating the su binary, and using an other busybox, such as 1.19.4 (as you did, works great for me..).
Bye !

Hmm, SU is up to date. I re-installed Busybox three times with the app from the market. Hmmm...

The released online script didn't change for a while, therefore it can only be because of faulty busybox..
Various users had the problem, only answer I can tell is try to find a working busybox,
it would seem some are wrong or not entirely installed....

Strange, I installed my ROM hundred times. It worked always.
