[Q]Ubuntu on the Atrix - Atrix 4G Android Development

I have read the thread about Full Ubuntu on the Atrix. What I am asking is something different.
Cant this hack work on the Motorola Atrix
Ubuntu on Nexus/Android Phone
It has instructions that seem to work on all android phones.
Anyone want to try it and tell me how it goes.

Should. There was a thread in here about doing the same thing but with debian. Its probably a couple of pages back.

I can't seem to find it. Can tell me roughly what the title was?
Also any other devs care to chime in?
Please

It'll probably work, but... why??? You already have a perfectly functional Ubuntu running on your phone.

Well to access that I will need some output monitor. I would like to have Ubuntu on the screen itself.
What is the worst that can happen to the phone if I tried it?

The worst? Who knows?
Sure, you could set up a VNC server under the Ubuntu and then run VNC from either your device (Android) or from an external client. That's what the linked method is doing, so there's nothing inherently better about it.

Well I don't know much but do you think that method at the source will work?
It doesn't seem to dive into the phone too much. It seems like an app. Also does anyone know of a way to get rid of it after I install it?

Me? No idea. I'm not sure how much magic is happening behind the scenes, and I'm currently involved in, well, making sure that the Ubuntu that Motorola ships works well to look too deeply into this. Sorry.

Have you seen my post on getting Debian running on the Atrix? Debian and Ubuntu are kind of similar IMO, and can run the same applications. To get it go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986071

Thank you so much that is what I wanted.
Yea I use debian on my laptop and Ubuntu on my desktop.

Glad to see I helped But the question is did it work? I know a LOT of people were having trouble with it. I did it fine with no problems, I hope it went the same way for you.

I'm working on getting a vanilla copy of Debian running on the device. So far everything works except X, which can't detect a properly configured device. Will post if I have any success with it.

Thats great! Playing with Debian on the Atrix is actually quite fun. I had problems installing deb packages on it though for some reason. Have you tried installing flash on the FireWiesel browser? Failed for me. As did everything else I tried to install.

[Q] Best linux OS for a newbie

So I'm guessing there is a lot of Linux guys here and I have just bought a new HDD for installing Linux. So what do you guys recommend for a total newbie (with only Linux that is) like me?
Anything else than Ubuntu
Thanks
I reckon Ubuntu is your best bet Pretty n00b friendly
Edit: lol Just noticed the big writing saying not ubuntu my bad
Try looking here http://www.linux.org/dist/
Set language to english and intel compatible and it will show all the Linux Distributions Maybe just see wht you like the look off

Yep you would either need another harddrive or to partition your harddrive or to run in a VM
i was just gonna make another partition, and if i do, and it installs, will it automatically ask me which to boot from when i power it on?

Sorry I meant you can make your own. There's a site dedicated to it but you might not want to do that just yet. Have you looked at OpenSuse? Haven't used it in a while but it was good. I tried the KDE version of Federa a month or two ago. A bit buggy! Mint Linux has had some good reviews anyway just my input!

Personally it's only the GUI I want to have some variety in so I'm trying out "Xubuntu" which I think is Ubuntu with XDE desktop-thing-which-I-don't-remember-what's-called-thing xD I did read about openSUSE but it was too much like Ubuntu I think
For a complete noob, Ubuntu is the way to go. It'll get you started pretty quick and the interface is just a matter of choice. If you want something that's uberHaxX0rZ, try installing a tiling Window Manager such as awesome instead of Gnome (which is default in Ubuntu).
I myself use Arch Linux with gnome-panel and Compiz as a standalone Window Manager and I'm loving it!
I myself am an Ubuntu man. I'm currently digging the Ubuntu 10.10 beta. 2 weeks until the final release!
I myself is trying to use the default window manager in Kubuntu but I can't get it working It's driving me crazy :/ It just says that non of the effects could be enabled...

This usually happens because the drivers for your graphics card aren't installed properly (or the card is ancient).
This is exactly one of the things why I personally dislike Ubuntu. If you're lucky, it'll work like a charm, but if you're not, you're gonna spend hours and hours trying to get it to work.
Either way, you can probably fix it by downloading and installing proprietary drivers for your card, since the open source ones probably don't work with your card. Though on the other hand, maybe you need to use opensource ones because the proprietary ones that installed automatically don't work? Who knows?

[RECOVERY] psfServiceMod for Incredible [Updated 12/20 3:14pm]

Today Klutsh released psfServiceMod, which allows you to use an android device to downgrade a ps3. It currently supports most popular android phones.... now including the Droid Inc!
The latest release, 3.2, has everything fixed! I've had it for about a day now and all is good, backups and restores are no longer broken and psfreedom works, grab it here: http://www.klutsh.com/download/86/[...card: [url]http://www.klutsh.com/download/25/
Things to keep in mind:
There is a possibility that you will lose the ability to play Blu ray movies if you downgrade, i personally didn't, and i did it twice. I have a launch model 60GB for homebrew.
If your on 3.41 and want an alternate method of jailbreaking, you might consider Adrynaline's psfreedom kernel.
If you want to use the kernel make sure you have the right one, there is a sense and cm6 version. When your phone turns on, you need to open terminal emulator and enter:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko
This method supports peek and poke and can be run with the phone on, however, it will disable usb mass storage, and wifi. To fix this, just flash back to another kernel like incrediblek's or ziggys. This code will need to be entered again if your phone reboots.
me too, would love to see this!
Yes a inc port will be awesome.

I tried with klutsh (who is a great guy btw) for over 40 recoveries and many custom kernels, he just cannot get it to work on the incredible. Done deal.
Get yourself a dedicated device. I got a used 1st gen ipod nano from craigslist for 10 dollars and it works flawlessly, all payloads and downgrades.

He tried 1 test build of the old psfmod. He rewrote the entire thing for this version. I really dont see the problem considering it has almost the exact hardware as the evo and both run clockwork. Am i missing something?
but, a 3.50 Jailbreak would be nice lol.
Im trying to get a service mod going, but i cant compile psfreedom.ko and if i do i get exec_format_error trying to run it. Im running a modded psfreedom kernel btw. Anyone think they can properly compile it? Or is it unlikely to work?
Is this different than Adrynalyne's psfreedom kernel? I'm just curious really, I never plan on owning a ps3.

Adrynaline lost his source for the original PSFreedom kernel. What he has up there is incomplete and cannot be duplicated as the original kernel. Do you see a pattern here? Im not trying to be mean, but seriously, there are better ways to spend your time.

That's the best I could find for "instructions" and its not by the people (nomovok) who actually got it running so well. I believe in the link above the dev is having trouble with xorg.

I did some searching and was unable to find any other instruction for building or any downloads for meego on nook color. I am thinking this will rock if we can get it working.
Very cool! Cannot wait to give this a try
would be nice to have specific instructions, seems like the person on meego wiki instruction built the image using the source codes from meego and B&N. the person is suppose to post his image soon I guess?
can't seem to find anything directly from novomok though. Would be nice to try this out
oh looks nice and the Package manage is RPM I wander if we can install RPM apps
anyone know how to build from code.
I dont but I will test
here is a good thred to keep an eye on

This sounds interesting.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
quoting wmarone
"According to what I've heard, it's a chroot inside the Android 2.2 environment. So not much to be gained from the kernel there. Nonetheless, a cool proof of concept."
Too bad its a chroot, It'd be cool to actually have this running natively.
Interessting. I miss my n900. maybe my nook can help me to forget them ^^
I can't wait to flash meego^^
Any news about meego on NC ?
Haven't heard or seen anything at all about it lately. I would love it if somebody made some ARM Linux distro work on it. It'd open it up to everything.
You can check the Meego project for it but I'm not sure it's been updated lately.
The main problem is kernel.
Meego need 2.6.37 and above kernel, but no drvers for NC now.

Are we not on that kernel yet? Hmm, maybe it was 2.6.32 that we're on.
Good to know something about it though. I'd still love MeeGo on this thing. Think it would be pretty awesome.

if someone got this working for a touchpad, i would be willing to give up android and webos for this. i am actually a fan of webos and i wish it had better support. i am just a user and no dev, so in reality i am not a solution.
With most things android it will just require the right people and circumstances and it can happen. But the touchpad has had its issues with compatibility and not to short any of the devs here, it seems that there are fewer with touchpads than other devices so ya never know.
As soon as we get 13.04 fully working on the Touchpad (well, at least to a point where it is useable like the 12.10 now) then we can get Ubuntu for Phones. It's not so much the kernel because they're gonna fully open source Ubuntu for Phones by the end of this month so we only need to port the GUI over to the 13.04 base (which should be doable).
Though I'm not sure how useable it would be. I mean, it's targeted for 4-5 inch phones so will it be useable and not just a stretched lay-out like the old Android 2.3 tablets?

Considering that Shuttleworth announced ubuntu for tablets within the last couple days, I think we can be hopeful that a "tablet ubuntu" will end up on the touchpad a short time after it ends up on other android devices.
Basically, its as easy to build as CM.

This can be done.
Pulled sources this morning and cross compiled. In the emulator everything works perfectly. Will have to to wait till the USPS brings me my new tablet in the next few days to be sure. But i think i can have something ready to go fairly soon.
I have done ports before with some success. you just gotta understand, getting it running and getting the hardware support are two very different things.
I will keep this page updated ad i get progress or crash and burn, Either way. Unless Divine_Madcat decides to close this thread as well.

Yes, but when I posted that on February 10 there was no Ubuntu for Tablets yet. But indeed, now there is so it'll probably come to our Touchpad.

Most ov the content at https://code.google.com/p/hp-touchpad-ubuntu/ is not super helpful at this point. The base for the Ubuntu touch system is CM10. The native ubuntuArm project is a much more pure version of the Ubuntu system than the Ubuntu touch system will ever be that it makes half of the files unusable.

Exactly. I thought it was CM10.1 but the base of this is CM. It still will take effort to port, but it's not the same as other Ubuntu variants that have been releases for TP.

I just meant for the partitioning part that he was having trouble with. My scripts didn't have much to do with Ubuntu itself, more terminal commands run within WebOS to create the necessary partitions for Ubuntu. I think those might help still though, if someone wants to keep Android instead of replacing it with Ubuntu Touch.

Ubuntu dual-boot on EndeavorU

Hi there!
Complete novice to anything to do with coding or anything, so I could really do with a hand here.
Basically, I saw that Canonical are only supporting dual-boot on Nexus devices, which is no good to me with a One X Intl. So, I decided to attempt modifying the dualboot.sh script they posted to include the Endeavor. This enabled me to get the Ubuntu installer app on my phone, but when there should be an option to install Ubuntu through a channel, it says: "Install Ubuntu, no available channels.".
I feel I am so close to getting this port to work, and it is just this one obstacle stopping me, so any advice as to how, or if I even can set up access to a channel would be greatly appreciated.
Josh.

Hey!
I ran into the same problem.
All you have to do is edit your build.prop.
Change your three values to look like these:
ro.product.model=Nexus 4
ro.product.device=mako
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
I have an Optimus G though and that's why Ubuntu Touch sorta works for me.
Don't know how it'll work out for you, but good luck!

All you have to do is edit your build.prop.
Change your three values to look like these:
ro.product.model=Nexus 4
ro.product.device=mako
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
I have an Optimus G though and that's why Ubuntu Touch sorta works for me.
Don't know how it'll work out for you, but good luck!

Thanks for getting back to me, your solution worked perfectly! However, I can't actually download Ubuntu Touch, because my internal memory isn't large enough :crying:

I've tried, but the internal memory says it's max is 2.11GB

Sorry, but I don't think I can help with that.
I believe that happened to me a long time ago too after flashing a certain ROM.
The only thing I can think of would be to flash a different ROM, though that seems like a big pain.
