Hi,
I've rooted my phone and using jv1.5 adp firmware, during the rooting telnet was working fine without problems, but yesterday i flashed the boot images using information from these forums, and also installed a theme.
but later my phone showed telnet had just been installed, and now won't connect to phone, but standard terminal works, but had to tell it to allow me to use SU.
has anyone else had issues using telnet in the last 2 days on the phone...
thanks
Why are you using telnet? and how are you starting telnet?
I think you are a bit confused on what telnet is and why you needed it originally.
under the original instructions it tells you to use telnet to access the device
- Copy recovery_testkeys.img onto the Micro SD Card.
- Turn the phone on (if not already)
- Type enter telnetd enter to start telnet
- Telnet into the phone with telnet (telnet ipaddress) OR use the telnet application from the market and connect to localhost
- Run the following as root (in telnet)

but noticed today that telnet even though previously installed, states it just been installed after applying a theme and different boot up image
also not confused as to what telnet is, as you it on a daily basis at work under windows
If your phone is already rooted (I assume it is since you are applying themes) you do not need telnet anymore.
As long as you are using a custom firmware it should have root enabled in the shell so using the terminal will work just fine, no need for telnet.
yeh, using the terminal emulator, but couldn't work out why during the rooting process the telnet application worked and could connect to localhost, but now the connection is always refused
It is because you haven't started the telnet server.
Again I think you are a bit confused on what telnet is, how it works, and why you needed it to root in the first place. (and just because you "you it on a daily basis at work under windows" doesn't mean you aren't confused on what it is)

no I am not confused as to what telnet is
i should still be able to use telnet on the phone and enter instructions (similar to how you would with most routers)
if doing enter, telnetd, enter and running telnet still refuses connection, and this has only happened since it advertised it has installed itself a day after already installing to firmware the phone
telnetd shouldn't advertise it has been installed.
Telnet is a protocol, technically it isn't a program, however telnetd is the server program (the kind that probably runs on your routers at boot) but you have to start it from a terminal in linux environments (like the G1)
The program you are trying to install would be a terminal prompt (the client side) this would allow you to connect to any terminal server you have network access to.
As said above you don't know what telnet is, you just think you do. The problem is you are trying to use the security hole (typing commands on the phone to run them as root) that has already been fixed. If you read a little more on how we have root you will find out that you can't just type telnetd anywhere you want. It has to be in a command prompt now because the security hole has been fixed.
this thread has gone off topic, and nothing to do with the original query
on my phone I have Superuser Permissions, Terminal Emulator and Telnet application
I use TE to access the phone to enter the commands via a prompt, but what I was saying was the telnet application you download to phone when doing the process of rooting allowed me to connect to localhost on port 23, which allowed me to enter commands as though I was using TE.
But after rooting, installing JV1.5 ADP, modifying bootimage and installing a theme, the phone reported it had downloaded and installed Telnet again, which I hadn't told it too, and if you then attempt to use it to connect to localhost it always refuses it.
So my question about anyone else having similar issues with telnet application still stands, ie has it reported it downloaded and installed itself again? after completing the rooting would it then prevent the telnet application from telneting to phone on port 23, meaning you can now only use terminal emulator? and can I easily remove the application without affecting terminal emulator?
thanks
It shouldn't download and install it self again without you helping or the rom you using having it built in.
I told you above and again you have to start the telnet server before you can use the telnet client. It isn't that hard to understand and if you really can't understand it then maybe you need to start looking into something else.
Telnet is not needed for terminal emulator.
Again I said it above you don't know what telnet really is. You don't understand server/client or protocols. Please google telnet and look for the wikipedia page and read about the protocol, the servers, and the clients.

I know it shouldn't download and install again, this is my point for some reason it did and i'm not sure why and this is why I asked the question.
There is no need for you to constantly go on and flaming me by stating that I know nothing about telnet, this, that or the other. You don't know me from adam and I don't know you.
I do know what telnet is, it allows communication between 2 devices via CLI, and allows remote configuration of systems.
All I wanted to know was if this had happened to others, a simple answer of yes or know would have sufficed...
Wow, this got off topic quickly. I don't see why you'd need to assume he doesn't know what telnet is, neoobs. Just sounded like he had a problem and asked if anyone else is experiencing the same occurance. Personally, I prefer using telnet over the TE, for the simple fact, that I don't like looking at the bright blue screen.
In response to the original question, I haven't had anything download and install itself again. I have had the connection refused after starting the telnet daemon on several occasions, but that was due to either the Google servers syncing in the bg, or the browser or Market doing something.
Why don't you just uninstall and reinstall telnet?
EDIT: I can't post to XDA due to the fact that i just signed up for an account, but look at fards' copy of my post to see how to install Ubuntu on your Dell Streak
Here's Pats Post on modaco;
although it would be nicer to keep development discussion to just one thread, the more constructive input the better
Hello All,
I'm attempting to natively port Ubuntu and/or Debian to the Streak. With it being such a powerful device there really is no reason it SHOULDN'T be running a “desktop” operating system. However, implementing his is quite a difficult task, so if any and everyone's help would be very much appreciated.
In the mean time, this is my first guide on how to get ubuntu running piggyback on the Dell Streak. After quite a while (and numerous different trials), I have found that this is the easiest way to get Ubuntu Mobile up and running fast. All commands can be done through either ADB shell or the terminal emulator on the phone.
This was *NOT* done entirely by me, but is a culmination of the effort of lots of people in the android community. I just modified it so that it would work on the Streak.
**This Installation DOES NOT install Linux natively, and as such is should not be destructive to your Android system, however i take absolutely no responsibility for anything that happens and you do this COMPLETELY at your own risk**
Here is how to do it:
1) Root your phone. There are plenty of guides on how to do it, so find one and get root access on your phone.
**YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT IT.**
2) Download Ubuntu Mobile Bundle: http://uploading.com/files/bbm6b311/ubuntu.zip/
This contains an image of the filesystem as well as other necessary scripts to get it working.
2) Busybox - Install Titanium Backup from Android Market - if you press the "Problems" button it will install Busybox on your phone for you (Feel free to uninstall Titanium after this is done). This is the fastest and most pain free way to install busybox on the streak that i know of for now (the other ways of doing this ARE NOT fun...)
3) On your SD card's root directory, create a folder called ubuntu and extract all files in the ubuntu mobile bundle there.
4) Replace the bootubuntu executeable file in the ubuntu directory with mine, found here http://www.mediafire.com/?fi011w4fbmymw3y
5) Unmount phone from computer. ADB and Android Terminal will not work if the phone is mounted.
5) Download a terminal from the Android Market - I used Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator (android market search: terminal) but anything similar should work the same
CODE
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
6) Ignore any errors thrown up by ubuntu.sh. From this point, all that is needed to boot ubuntu is just to enter this:
CODE
Code:
bootubuntu
To start ubuntu from now on, this is all you need to do.
You should now have ubuntu working on your laptop, and while it DOES connect to your phone's internet sources, it DOES NOT yet have a graphical interface.
Here is how to add one:
1) Update the system with the following commands in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
The first one updates the package lists, the second one downloads updates to the system itself.
2) Install TightVNC in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
3) Configure TightVNC:
CODE
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 800x480
For security purposes, it is recommended that you assign a password to your VNC server when asked.
4) Download Android VNC Viewer from the market
5) Configure Android VNC Viewer:
Change the port to 5901 and type in your password that you entered before.
Other Problems
There appears to be a bug with the X window server sometimes refusing to connect to VNC. DO NOT change any settings on Android VNC Viewer, instead open a terminal and run the folloring command:
CODE
Code:
rm -R /tmp/.X11-unix
What Does Not Work – Will Try To Fix
Keyboard from Android VNC Viewer
Shutdown – Does Nothing
Reboot
Log Out
Native Install
I hope you guys enjoy this, and I can't wait to get your feedback.

there was a thread about this but it wasnt work on me. now i am downloading and i will inform you again
what is the address for vnc ?
OMG! Could that be any slower on the download?
EDIT:
That sounded totally ungrateful - sorry!
Thank you very much for this
yeah works fine without problems.
it is better from g1 but not as well as a netbook. so only experimental use i think
I connected to the loopback 127.0.0.1 on 5901 and it worked - haven't seen how to connect to it remotely though
Edit:
Reading is fundamental - I can connect to it form another machine
now to fix the keyboard issue
in terminal emulator there is a note : localhost:1 vnc could work properly so i connect with only port and password.
is it possible to install jolicloud since its an ubuntu based system?
Newbie questions, sorry....
Before to try this port, just some maybe stupid questions for you:
- Still working the phone function?
- Is it easy to go back to standard or Steve Streaks Roms?
- Are there lack of drivers for bluetooth, gps, audio, wifi, etc?
Thanks.
No your missing the point here, this isn't an OS separate to android. Think of this as an app it runs on top of the android system. Also this is very experimental most features would be limited and no ubuntu can't be used as an smartphone os -No phone...

1) Ubuntu does not replace android, and the UI only runs in a VNC server, so you can switch back and forth between ubuntu and the phone app (or angry birds?)
2) I installed mine on top of DJ Steve's 1.8.1 rom... It's not native, so it only runs on top of android instead of replacing it
3) Haven't tried audio yet, but it should work (let me know how it goes)... internet connectivity works and provided you have an internet connection enabled in android you can use tools like APT or Firefox in ubuntu... only problem is keyboard is a bit wonky...
For those who had trouble figuring out how to set up the VNC, here is a picture of my VNC configuration on my phone. If you find out the phone's IP address you should even be able to VNC into it from your computer (if your on the same wifi network)
Also, openoffice.org

Is anyone actively attempting to get Ubuntu running native?
audio not working
keyboard not working
also lots of lags.

Yes, i'm looking into it, but it's quite an uphill battle in order to get it working. I'll let everyone know when we make some progress.

cause you are running 2 operating systems at the same time
But seriously, if ubuntu can run native (no android in the background) then the lag would be gone, and (if set up right) audio and keyboard would work.

Im wondering if I install a rdp server instead of vnc if I can get remote audio working.
Ill post with whatever results i get once I'm done waiting 2 hours for the ubuntu image to download.
As for lag. I had a n900 running @600mhz and was doing a chroot into ubuntu and it ran fine, but it used xpyher not vnc. Is there any embedded X servers for android yet? (I highly doubt it)
data requirement for updating GUI pkg of Ubuntu
Can any body tell me size of the data required to update to gui ......as i m not using wi -fi i hv to stick on gsm data usage which is limited in my plan
Very cool!
I had lots of trouble rooting my 2.2.2, but finally got it done by running Gingerbreak twice in a row on a cleanly re-started Streak.
Thanks for a fun gig!
I have the idea that Just as the Ubuntu hacks for android work, we could use androidVNC to connect and view the webtop from the phone without HDMI or the dock, using the phones screen.
Another thing is many of us are using SystemR89's ubuntu hack, with Gnome or LXDE so then all we need is to have tightVNCserver installed as well in the Ubuntu eviroment. Do the steps provided in the above site androlinux.com and trigger that Ubuntu Session to start and then connect on loopback should work.
As I recall ubuntu.sh sets up the soft links or Binds. I don't recall what Booubuntu does but it appears to chroot you to the Ubuntu enviroment for install of the rest of the packages.
I don't think we need to mess with those, they have been done by SystemR89's WebtopMOD. We just need to Chroot to the Ubuntu.disk and give the command "export USER=root" and "vncserver -geometry 1024x800" to start the VNC server Then connect via AndroidVNC.
You'll note that our Phone already has a ubuntu.sh on the root directory. Evidence that moto basically copied the work??? IDK.
I'm looking for some ideas or help from someone who knows ubuntu better then me on how to do this.
I'll hack at it a bit and see if I can get anywhere.
I doubt too many people will find this useful, maybe I'm wrong though. If it would be helpful to you let me know, it will add to my drive to figure it out.
is it possible to install a ssh app on the nvidia, if its rooted
so i can access remotely via macbook to transfer / copy files?
I would suggest sideloading SSHDroid, which can operate in root and non-root (ports above 1024). You'll possibly (i.e. definitely) have to fiddle round with mouse and/or keyboard to get it to work the way you want though. Oddly the unlocker 'key' app wouldn't side load for me, so I don't get the unlocked benefits (and yes, I've paid for the unlocker).
SSHDroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid
ah is there any non keyboard mouse method - or app? i want to basically access the files to transfer into the android folder / obb etc
and connect from a mac computer
Hello,
1. Downloaded kalilinux.FULL.ext4.20131031.zip of around 2.2 GB.
2. Extracted zip on sdcard in kali folder and I got kalilinux.FULL.ext4.v2.img of 5.59 GB.
3. Installed Linux deploy from play store.
4. In the Linux deploy tap on right bottom download button and selected Kali Linux as distribution option, installation path /sdcard/storage/0/kali/Kali.img (I renamed the img).
5. Clicked on install option from menu option. Did not worked, got message something like Mounting Partitions... fail.
6. OK. I left this way and installed Linux deploy and reinstalled Linux deploy and installed kali Linux from Wi-Fi connection, it seems it got worked and after seeing many retrieving, validating, installing and configurating messages in Linux deploy, it seems me got installed.
7. But, I don't know how do I access Kali Linux on my this one plus one device which is running aicp 7.1.1 ROM.
Kindly tell me what step(s) need to run Kali Linux on my phone. I am interested to use above Kali.IMG, so that a fresh new installation can use this IMG which have bundelled many pre configured modules.
Do you have a VNC client?

Thanks for your reply. Yes sir, I have installed vnc app too, but I don't know what settings I need to have. I tried by localhost and Kali for connect, but it is saying "The port on which computer is listening for a connection could not be contacted". I don't know which "computer" is it talking about and what port I need to use?

Ok, no problem. Please share with us as and when you get success by installation and running Kali on the phone. I would like to request to other xda experts to please tell us how they are able to install Kali with offline .IMG file and other vnc settings.
May I ask here?
After installation kali runs as a normal operating system, not as an app, correct?
Does it run as a dual boot OS?

Well, it does run as a normal operating system, but it's sandboxed into an app. It's like a virtual machine.
i love Kali on my OnePlus One.
i use it with a micro USB to LAN Adapter for do anything what i will do with Kali

I tried it a couple weeks ago and it's surprisingly functional. Here's my settings: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1HrmNJiLNhjb04ydWlpaktPNkU
Press the button at the bottom-right, configure, then go back, press the three dots at the top then press install. After it's done, go to your VNC app of choice (I use VNC Viewer), add IP address localhost:5900, connect then enter user password. Ta da!
Btw, the reason you couldn't get it working is because you downloaded an image and used that, when Linux Deploy does everything for you.

Thanks for your reply. I will try your way when I will be in WiFi network area. Since, in my region network issue exists, I want to learn Kali installation by offline downloaded zip file so that :
1. Network issue can be override.
2. If I changes the ROM, I can play with zip on different ROMs.
So, please give a try by installing zip file as and when you gets spare time and kindly post your offline steps.
