Hello all,
I've been trying for some time now to get Debian to work on the Haykuro bulds, but I can't seem to get things to mount. Anybody have any ideas?
This is the script that is supposed to start it up:
=============SCRIPT START==============
clear
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
echo "Android Filesytem remounted as read/write"
export kit=/sdcard/debian
export bin=/system/xbin/bb
export mnt=/data/local/mnt
export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root
busybox insmod ext2
mknod /dev/loop2 b 7 0
clear
mount -o loop,noatime $kit/debian.img $mnt
mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts
mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys
sleep 1
echo "Starting init process"
sleep 1
echo "INIT: Debian booting....."
sleep 1
echo "Running Linux Kernel"
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sleep 1
echo "AutoMounter started"
sleep 1
echo "Type EXIT to end session"
echo "Make sure you do a proper EXIT for a clean kill of Debian!"
echo " "
chroot $mnt /bin/bash
busybox umount -f /data/local/mnt/dev/pts /data/local/mnt/proc /data/local/mnt/sys /data/local/mnt
echo "Filesystems have unmounted"
sleep 3
busybox losetup -d /dev/block/loop2
===============END SCRIPT==================
This is the result I get when I run it:

I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I would really appreciate it. I am running 5.0.1G (Haykuro's build). I have tried asking him, but neither of us have the knowledge of how to fix the problems.
Thanks.
Check the first lines in the script that begin with "export..." .
For example if your debian image is located like defined in "export kit..."
Or if the binary paths are all correct. I think the problem is that there is probably no /system/xbin within your image like in the JF image. So the script can't find the tools it needs.
EDIT//
You can probably ignore the above part....
The problem is that the script doesn't load the "ext2" filesystem kernelmodule which is needed to mount Debian.
But i don't know if the script only look at the wrong place or if the ext2.ko module isn't available within your image.
You can search for the module by typing the following into a terminal:
find / -name "ext2.ko"
check if /data/local/mnt exists, if not , mkdir /data/local/mnt.
xbin is there. There is no need for ext2.ko because it is built into the kernel already (asked haykuro himself). /data/local/mnt exists. The export statement is right, my debian image is in /sdcard/debian.img.
Any other ideas?
I am running haykuro's 4.5g build. The latest one.

..... is right, my debian image is in /sdcard/debian.img.

Mhm. But that would be wrong...
Has to be in /sdcard/debian/debian.img
So try to create debian subfolder.
Okay, my bad. It's in /sdcard/debian/debian.img.
Any ideas?
I will try to help with this in a few hours. I have the 5.0.2Hr2-appstosd-signed image on my phone, a 1.2 GB ext2 filesystem partition on my SD Card (only a Class-4, it's really dog slow for most apps!), and I am working on getting debian functional within /system/sd.
I don't like the idea of having 3 "different" filesystems on my SD card, so I wanted to utilize the ext2 partition I use for apps/cache for Debian also, this would ensure that I could leave it mounted all the time without worrying about Debian dying if I mount the FAT32 partition onto my computer.

I would really appreciate that. I was thinking the same thing, but I don't know how to do it.
Well that got nowhere quick. Any other ideas?
modprobe ext2
ok i just tried that, that was the solution previously when running debian, yu had to load the ext2 module, but something must be missing in the new build as i get
cannot parse modules.dep
Got the same error
I receive the same error message. Found a solution at the bottom of the first post:

download updated scripts
it seems to be ok for me

In fact, i cannot achieve any apt-get.
Phone block before and i'm unable to do anything in terminal, neither shutingdown.
I've tried with "terminal emulator" on phone and with adb shell.

WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
UPDATE: My goal was to create a version of BackTrack 5 for ARM that was easy to use and install. As of this time, that IS NOT the case! The versions posted here are **probably not** going to work straight out of the box. If you know what you are doing in a Linux environment, you'll probably be able to get it working.
Because of this, the project is currently completely unsupported. You are free to dive in, but you are doing so with no support for me, and I'm not liable for any damage that might be done to your device's ROM.
I encourage you to pass this up unless you know what you are getting yourself into!
If you were referred here from the XDA-Developers.com article...
Hi there! Let's get one thing on the record here... this is *not* a native client! This is the chroot + VNC method that we'd been using to get Ubuntu running with Android for a while. The article makes it sound like that's the case, but sadly it's not. However, with the chroot + VNC method we can really run BackTrack 5 on an Android device, and it really does work. This takes some technical skills, and isn't for the non-Linux experienced user.
Requires a rooted device!
BackTrack 5 installation guides are making their way around this forum. I've tried to synthesize it all, but I've also added my own touches to help with usability and features, along with a workaround for the "ioctl LOOP_SET_FD failed" error message some people have been getting.
In theory this build is nearly universal, so if you have an Android device it should work. I've put it all in one zip file that you can download directly from my website, no hassles or wait timers.
If you are interested have a look, feel free to re-post. Credit goes to the BackTrack team and xda member anantshri (he's got skills, give him props guys), who built the base image file.

If you don't know what BackTrack is, you probably don't want it
BackTrack is an operating system based on Ubuntu Linux that is used for security testing (aka hacking) and digital forensics. I'm a master's degree student in computer security, so I love this OS... it can do awesome things. Turn on your Wi-Fi and you can do advanced network scans and tests right from your phone, no laptop required. For me this is hella-useful.
But besides just being an OS for hacking ****, it's also fully Ubuntu-based, so you can run it like a desktop, including running Firefox and other Linux applications.

The Download
This installation of BackTrack 5 is available as a compressed file that will need to be extracted. I recommend downloading this using Chrome or Firefox. Internet Explorer often doesn’t play well with large HTTP downloads.
The root account’s password and the VNC server password are both set to ‘root’ by default!

The Description
If you want to run BackTrack 5 on your Android-powered device, read on, you’re in the right place! So the big news is that BackTrack 5 runs on Android phones. We’ve been able to run Ubuntu on these devices for quite some time too, but admittedly BackTrack on a smartphone is just awesome.
Anyway, files for using BackTrack 5 on an Android phone have been running around the internet, but sadly it’s kind of a mish-mash of links saying, “go download this, then get this, to then this, blah blah blah”. Too confusing for my simple brain, so I’ve rounded it all up and posted it in one place… right here. The version posted here has everything you should need to run BackTrack 5 on your Android device. I’ve also added a lot of goodies to help with the user experience that the other offerings don’t include:
Works around the ioctl LOOP_SET_FD failed error that many people have been receiving on Galaxy S devices (and others)
Asks the user if they want a VNC session upon start-up
Starts the SSH service automatically and displays device IP on start-up
Enables the Ubuntu repositories to Aptitude, so you can do package installation
Adds vim. Really, what distribution doesn’t come with vim by default? Seriously…
Sets the screen resolution to 800×480 default (should be compatible with most smartphone devices)
SU
This requires root!
You must be able to "su" at terminal. This ability is usually provided by software for rooting your phone. To see if you have rooted your phone correctly and it's working, go to your terminal emulator and type "su" <enter>. If it is working, you'll probably get a prompt asking you if you want to allow your terminal emulator root access. Hit accept/yes. Now you'll be back in your terminal emulator. Type "whoami" <enter>. If it responds with "root" or "uid 0", then you are properly rooted.
Busybox
This requires Busybox!
I am no longer providing an installer for Busybox because of issues getting it to work universally, so instead YOU need to go get a working build and install it (I believe "Busybox Installer" will work, but not tested). If you want to know if you have Busybox and it's working, go to your terminal emulator and type "su" <enter>, then "busybox ls" <enter>. If you get a printout of all the files in your current directory, then your Busybox will likely work with BackTrack 5 just fine. If you get an error, "busybox: not found", that means you either do not have Busybox, or it is not properly installed.
WARNING FOR CyanogenMod USERS
Before doing ANYTHING, please test for ext2 support by running (as root, at terminal) --> "modprobe ext2" <enter>
If this fails probably your device lacks ext2 support and the whole thing will screw up if you try to run it! Support for ext2 in CM is being worked on.
The Installation Guide
Enable Wi-Fi and connect to a Wi-Fi access point (* not required, but BT5 cannot use your data plan for internet access)
Download the zip file, extract anywhere
After extraction you’ll have one folder “bt5″; copy this folder to the root of your phone’s SD Card
Put card back in phone and/or unplug from USB
In a terminal emulator, type “su” <enter>, “cd /sdcard/bt5″ <enter>
Now you are ready to rock and roll, so issue “sh bt” <enter> (in the future to start BT5 skip the line above and come straight to this command)
If all is well you’ll now be running BackTrack 5 on your Android device; you can SSH to it via Wi-Fi (password ‘root’), or access it from VNC if you said “Yes” to the prompt asking if you wanted a VNC session
To get a GUI for BackTrack on your smartphone’s screen, download a VNC viewer from the market (many are free), then connect to host “127.0.0.1″, port “5901″, password “root”
Enjoy, boys and girls.

Hrm yet another small error in one of the scripts. So sorry :S (this script is from the BT5 team though, so I take no fault in it not working, lol).
Open "installbusybox" in a text editor and replace the text "cat /sdcard/busybox" with "cat /sdcard/bt5/busybox" it should work. I'll fix it and put it up online once I'm home from work today.

I have the exact same problem as you, I am running the Droid 2 CM 7 Nightly build (latest). I have bash, etc. Bash exists in two places: /system/xbin and /etc/bash, but even using the command (after you are in bash) "chroot /data/local/debian /system/xbin/bash" (chroot command goes: "chroot directory [FILE ARGS]") and still got the same exact error: chroot: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory.
I have used two different GB roms (leaked motorola stock and CM 7). I must have spent over a hundred hours this week looking for and testing out possible solutions, to no avail.
What are we missing?
/system/bin/debshell: line 17: /data/local/debian/etc/hostname: No such file or directory
I fixed this error by creating empty file "hostname" in "etc" directory. But I still have chroot error. I made some experiments with copying bash to different folders - no results.
Yeah that part of the problem was an easy fix, and even though I can use the bash command wherever I am in my filesystem as well as when I am using bash, it seems that chroot cannot find the bash command. Trouble is, I can't find chroot, and I would assume that chroot would be in the same directories as bash. Even using the command ls /*/chroot gives me nothing.
Nothing works as before!
This is a Tutorial to install Ubuntu/Debian in any Android mobile.
* Installing Ubuntu or Debian Linux does not format your Android OS or change anything to your phone.
The Operating Systems run over the underlying Android OS which continues to function as normal
Choosing your Linux OS:
There are few things you must be aware of before installing Ubuntu/Debian on youe Android Phone
Ubuntu does not support earlier ARM CPUs like the ones used in the Motorola Cliq. Samsung Galaxy Fit (ARMv6), Samsung Galaxy Y, etc.
( Reason behind this is , Your Android OS Kernel must support loop devices. Most newer Android smartphones/tablets come with this support so we can mount our Ubuntu image as a loop device. If not, you will either have to build your own kernel with support for loop devices or you can try an aftermarket ROM for your phone as most aftermarket ROMs come with support for it. )
You need at least an ARMv7 CPU like the kind found in the Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy S,HTC EVO 3D, Sony Experia Play, etc. most newer phones (Hummingbird, Snapdragon, Tegra2, etc.).So you can Install Ubuntu if you have ARMv7 or newer Processor.
If you have ARMV6 or any other moderate Processor don't be sad, because Debian supports the CPU on practically all Android devices, so if you prefer Debian, or you can't run Ubuntu, choose the Debian download link.
* If you're not sure what CPU your device has, look up your device on http://pdadb.net/, click the link under CPU, and read the line for "Supported Instruction Set(s)".
e.g. : My Phone which is a " Samsung Galaxy Fit" uses ARMV6 Instruction Sets.

Pre-Requirements:
Hardware Required:
an Android Phone
SD Card with more than 2GB of free Space
Android root environment:
Most important! Your Android device should be “rooted” because you need root access to run Ubuntu/Debian off your Android. If your device is not rooted you have to root your device.
Linux Operating System:
Download suitable OS from the following Link:
Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
linux.ubuntu-natty.tar.bz2 Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)
Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot
linux.ubuntu-oneiric.tar.bz2 Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric)
Debian 6.0 Squeeze
linux.debian-squeeze.tar.bz2 Debian 6.0 (Squeeze)

Applications Required:
BusyBox Installer
A terminal emulator like Better Terminal Emulator ( Recommended ) or Terminal Emulator.
Optional Apllications:
androidVNC
Or
ConnectBot

Procedure ----------------------------------------------->
Step 1:
(Mount the SD card on your computer.)
Extract the .tar.bz2 file you downloaded to your SD card. You should now have a folder named "linux" on the root of your card.
(Unmount the SD card.)
Open Busybox Installer, and install Busybox.
Open Better Terminal Emulator, and install Better Terminal Emulator.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2:
Open your terminal emulator. (If using ConnectBot, connect to 'local', not 'ssh'.)
Run the following commands:
Code:
[B]su[/B]
( If Prompt for Superuser Request then allow )
Code:
cd /sdcard/linux
sh install.sh
If you don't see any errors, Linux is now installed.

Click to collapse
Step 3:
Open your terminal emulator.
To start a chroot session
Code:
su
linux
To start the SSH server
Code:
su
linux ssh
You can then use ConnectBot (SSH: [email protected]) on your device, or any SSH client to connect to your device. See Login Information, below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To start a VNC session
( Firest you need androidVNC to be installed , then type the following in terminal )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
su
linux vnc
The first time you run VNC, it will prompt you to create a VNC password.
You can then use androidVNC (host: localhost port: 5901), or any VNC client to connect to your device.
Configure The VNC App as follows:
Note: The default desktop environment is icewm. If you wish to replace it, for example, with LXDE:
Run the following as root in Linux:
Code:
apt-get autoremove icewm- lxde+
Secure your Log in Password:
Please remember to change these passwords if you are planning on using the SSH server. Malicious people can do Very Bad things to your device if you don't.
There are two accounts included in the images:
root
Password:cheesecake
user
Password:dessert

After a successful connection to host you will be able to use Ubuntu / Debian in graphical interface just like in your PC ! It will keep your Android OS as it is and just run in the upper layer over it

Linux vs Linux Terminal Emulator :
Terminal Emulator only Emulates Linux terminal, but after Linux Installation you can get full features; more than just the limited commands which runs on Android shell rather than Linux Shell.
Please Leave your Feedback and Queries below. Thank You
Verry Good

Linux won't install
I love this forum. Over the last couple months I've been reading the forums and learning how to root my phone and install custom ROMs. For the last 10 years I've been using Linux on my computers and netbooks. I like Android because it's a mobile version of Linux, but I would like to get a full version of Linux running on my phone. I followed this thread many times with and cannot get Linux to install. I'll try to give the details:
I am running a rooted Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V running the Valhalla-Black edition ROM (Gingerbread). I installed Busybox V1.20.0 and Busybox Installer V1.20 without uninstalling either. I have Android Terminal Emulator installed with su privileges. I keep getting the same mount error with all the 3 linux images shown on this thread. Here is what I got (the first error has to do with mount):

I guess mount command in install.sh didnt work
Maybe you can edit it. to correct one, may be this or may be not
Code:
echo "Remounting /system rw ..."
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
sh $kit/scripts/fsrw

hey guys.
Thanx to the author of this forum on debian on android. I had the same problem you see in the error logs above. the problem is between regular "mount" command and busybox "mount". you need to use the busybox mount. so I added the word busybox infront of every mount word in the script. eg. busybox mount -o , rw /system remount. the alternative is to delete the mount found on /system/bin so that the terminal will use the busybox one automatically on /system/xbin.
nice tutorial
Good article but...
I have some issues about installing it.I tried it with XXKPI 2.3.4 on my Fit but it only caused my phone to give me bunch of error codes on the terminal and my phone started to not dedecting sdcard and sometimes it doesnt mount on computer.I have SdCard issues.I have edited all the mount codes in fsrw,linux and install.sh (by typing a busybox like busybox mount -o)but still have problems.I have installed XXKPI in 4 Part inst. with Odin and wiped the device before and after the installation and after the Odin inst. i rooted it with UnlockRoot v 2.2.1 so it is rooted.Done a binary update on SU and installed BusyBox 1.9.3 because newer versions are incompatible with my phone.This is my last terminal session(all included)
