[Chroot] Chroot scripts for lg optimus. Run ubuntu ,debian or meego from Android

These are the scripts I have running on my phone to chroot to any image. Simply extract to / sdcard/bt5, copy the image you want to run and rename bt5.img
Then from the terminal run:
su
cd sdcard/bt5
sh bootbt

I encourage anyone who wants to upload your own images optimized for the display of the Optimus.
Need rooted phone and busybox installed, running in original firmware with quarsar v3 kernel, no problems.
we can run meego thru this? this is for developing purpose, or does it allow us users to boot OB into another operating system?
what can we do thru using this?dual boot?
of the moment only chroot, of course dual boot is possible

Chroot 'jails' another linux distro inside your android using the same kernel.
For example I use chroot with my Multimedia HD (Blusens T50, a Emtec Q800's brother) in order to have a debian distro plenty of space (the chroot is a external space to mount into the system) also updatable. Then, I can install in my case an ftp server, a torrent client, etc...
Regards.
From where can we download the images?
In xda exists multiple posts with images for chroot if not in google appear links with how to make your rootfs system in ext2

any instruction to chroot the Megoo on ob ?
u should watch this http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD
of the moment exist on internet one image that load it in terminal mode (no gui) with bash shell, it is similar to ubuntu terminal. Maemo gui is possible install in ubuntu, it is hildon desktop. Since my experience the most usable desktop is lxde running vertical mode 760x1024 with real vnc using virtual keyboard of android and emulated mouse. Backtrack 5 is usable but the image has errors and gnome run slow. other alternative is matchbox desktop for small screens in embeded devices.
To run meego or maemo is necesary config gui and install vncserver.
For other part, meego uses moblin desktop, it is posible install in ubuntu too.
Here i share one rootfs with lxde and backtrack repositories, it is in spanish language; http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=260402

Running Virtual Device Emulator on Ubuntu in Virtual Box

Hello everyone,
I am running Anroid Studios 3.1.2 on ubuntu which is running within a virtual machine (oracle virtual box). If I want to create a virtual device emulator, i get the following massage:
"Recommendation: Your CPU does not support required features VT-x or SVM)".
I can create a device but it is not running. In the virtual box setting VT-x is enabled.
Is it possible to run an emulator in a virtual machine? I found some sources saying that it is maybe not possible?
Thanks and regards,
TensorDev
