Guest popetodd Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I can get the on screen keyboard to work with Firefox, but not in the terminal. Seems to be app specific as to whether it accepts the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimiB Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 OK, so I finally got some time to do this and it seems to be working (I can boot within a terminal into linux) but I don't have a GUI... I think it's to do with step 14... 14. Next open up the Android VNC app on your Nexus One/Android phone and enter the password you set earlier in step 13 and set the Port to 5901. Can anyone point me towards the android VNC app, or do I have to download one? Thanks, jimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimiB Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 It's not working... when I try to connect it just says connecting and rotates through 90 degrees constantly... I tried startx from the terminal and it returned a fatal server error "no screens found" it also can't find xinit... any ideas? jimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimiB Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I got it working by changing to the new bootubuntu script :( having the same problems re: keyboard... I'm just trying to boot a meego ARM .img to see if that'll work. jimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CharlieBareham Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Would anyone be kind enough to write a Dell Streak specific guide? Or is there a new script that works with the Streak? However, http://www.irregular-expression.com/?p=30 seems like the best way to go, since from what I can gather it is running by itself, not using VNC and Android?

Guest MrTheKLine Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I kinda wanna get this on my streak it would be handy for me im looking for a way to still talk to people on steam even when im not able to take my laptop so the first thing that came to my mind was ubuntu then drunks then WINE. But im getting errors and im guessing its the loopback thing. READY TO ROCK AND ROLL BABY! Brought to you by NexusOneHacks.net and the open source community! chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory Shutting down Ubuntu failed. failed. failed. failed. losetup: /dev/loop1: Device or resource busy sh-4.1#[/codebox] If you could help me that would be great, thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speculatrix Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 This is just a virtual machine though, so wont it always be extremely slow until it runs natively? no, it's not a virtual machine, it's a chroot method, really linux running in sandbox file system; the vm analogy is very strained.

Guest undrwater Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 no, it's not a virtual machine, it's a chroot method, really linux running in sandbox file system; the vm analogy is very strained. Good to see you Speculatrix (from Zaurus days)! Device is currently hampered by lack of acceleration drivers anyway....though not sure if netbook remix requires that.

Guest rebski Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Good to see you Speculatrix (from Zaurus days)! I second that, great to see you posting. Do you have a Streak now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jdouce Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Its possible to run native ubuntu, dual boot.Have one boot.img installed on the boot partition and the other in the recovery partition. Reboot into recovery and it boots the ubuntu boot.img which loats a .ext2 file system from the sd card. you need a ubuntu.ext2 filesystem on the root of the sd card doesnt have to be ubuntu... but has to be named ubuntu.ext2 http://www.htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Builds there are various builds here... the HD2 LEO one works ... out of the box v0.3 this boot img will boot ubuntu.ext2 from /sdcard/root http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...mp;d=1287521849 boot to fastboot fastboot 0x413c flash recovery boot.img reboot into recovery will boot the linux partition... im going to try the other filesystems at some point.
