Ubuntu on LG Optimus 2X

[Guest jastonas]

Has anyone managed to run ubuntu on their 2X?

I tried using the method and files from this thread but when running sh ubuntu.sh I just get a reboot.

LG2X has a Tegra processor, which is not "fully" supported by Froyo. Perhaps with Gingerbread, that will be available... but only perhaps.

cpu doesn't matter.

that ubuntu image works fine on the advent vega, which has froyo and a tegra 2 as well.

That script uses the wrong paths on the 2x. I've managed to start ubuntu in this way using a script like this:

This assumes that your ubuntu.img file is in /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD/ubuntu/ubuntu.img (if it's not, change the path on the first line)

and that you have created the directory /data/local/mnt.

Save this script as runubuntu.sh and make it executable using chmod +x runubuntu.sh

then you can start it with either in adb shell or in a terminal on the phone. (Remember to su first)

export kit=/mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD/ubuntu

export bin=/system/bin

export mnt=/data/local/mnt

export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH

export TERM=linux

export HOME=/root

mount -o loop,noatime -t ext2 $kit/ubuntu.img $mnt

mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts

mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc

mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1


echo "Setting /etc/resolv.conf to Google Open DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4"

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > $mnt/etc/resolv.conf

echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> $mnt/etc/resolv.conf

echo "Setting localhost on /etc/hosts "

echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" > $mnt/etc/hosts

echo "READY TO ROCK AND ROLL BABY! "

chroot $mnt /bin/bash


#After exit command is executed clear it all up

echo " "


echo "Shutting down Ubuntu"

umount $mnt/dev/pts

umount $mnt/proc 

umount $mnt/sys 

umount $mnt

echo "Reboot device if umount didn't succeed"[/codebox]

/data/local/mnt exists in system...

I also created /sdcard/_ExternalSD/data/local/mnt

Yet I get this error

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ $su

# cd _ExternalSD

# cd ubuntu

# sh runubuntu.sh

Oh, I forgot to mention, I couldn't mount _any_ img-files as loop devices if some games already have stuff mounted. Run "mount" and look at the last entries, I know angry birds for example conflicts with this. So either you have to disable their mounts or uninstall them if you want to mount devices like this.

If someone knows a better solution than to uninstall the conflicting games, please tell me too :)

Still nothing. I even flashed a clean Rom.

I get this

edit: I found this which I ll try now

Ok everyone with the chroot: can’t execute ‘/bin/bash’ error. Open you bootubuntu file with a textmanager. And change all the loop1 to loop5. And then follow the instructions again.

the reason you cant execute bash is because the mount fails... Don't know why it's not working for you though :S
