Hello,
I recently installed Ubuntu in a dual-boot, and most things are working well. However, one of the biggest problems is with wireless. I have injected the firmware from the android kernel, and am able to connect using wpa_supplicant or a basic 'sudo iwconfig essid [network ssid]'. However, I have read on the Dev forum that some users have been able to flash a kernel onto their device that provides wifi via a GUI. I have not been able to, and am wondering if anyone would be able to help me out.
The links to the patches are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141&page=76. Post #753. Dev posted on building the patches. Does anyone know how to build these patches and get a GUI for network manager working?
Thanks,

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to connect my wiimote in debian. Im new to linux, im kinda putting all the pieces together as i go. wminput and all its corresponding packages seemed to install just fine with 'apt-get install wminput'.
But when I run wminput I get the error "unable to open uinput"
so googled, and managed to find uinput.ko and some general instructions on installing it.
I loaded it into /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-cm41/ and ran 'insmod uinput.ko' and i get the error 'Invalid module format' which im assuming is because it was compiled for an x86 system. modprobe displays a similar error.
I also dont understand the "cm41" in the path /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-cm41/, is that short for CyanogenMod, am I placing this module in my android Filesystem?
Are there any linux guru's around that could compile uinput.c for the g1 debian build? Or simply tell me that im way off track and there are bigger problems involved with getting this to work.
Also, if wminput did function. Does anyone know if it would send button presses to android while running in the background?
uinput.c
http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/browser/trunk/wminput/uinput.c?format=txt
wminput
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/wminput
wmgui which i believe uses the same library as wminput has been made to work through ssh

There is also WMD for connecting to wiimotes but it requires uinput as well (i think).

Ive been reading http://www.saurik.com/id/10 and it seems that this modules really needs to be installed to Android? And then I will be able to access this module from debian which is running on top on android? Can anyone confirm that?
I extracted the config file from my phone at /proc/config.gz and it has the line # CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT is not set. some googling brings me here http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.31/drivers/input/misc/Kconfig
206 config INPUT_UINPUT
207 tristate "User level driver support"
208 help
209 Say Y here if you want to support user level drivers for input
210 subsystem accessible under char device 10:223 - /dev/input/uinput.
211
212 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
213 module will be called uinput.
This all leads me to believe that this module will work on the G1. Will Any Devs PLEASE compile this for me. If you think it would work properly that is.
I just dont have the skills to compile it myself yet. Ive been reading alot on how to compile the kernel and kernel modules for the G1, I setup Ubuntu, and setup my environment and installed the android source code. I was working off this link http://andblogs.net/2008/12/compiling-your-own-g1-kernel-modules/ but i dont understand how i get the kernel source . I have sooo much reading todo before I get all this. Any recommended links?
Hello,
I have bought the htc desire s in december'11 and I assess that I hate android and all the available custom roms so I try to get some other distribution to work on my desire s.
IMPORTANT: Please don't tell me something about the sense or how nice a chroot works, I am asking for a native installation guide.
All I want is a clean base-system (ubuntu/debian/gentoo/angstrom/...) that will boot.
Does someone know a way (howto/wiki/manpage ) to get a proper distribution to work on this device?
My Workflow:
-> install distribution
-> get wlan access to work
-> boot device with autoconnect (wlan) and sshd (openssh or dropbear)
-> connect via ssh and get an graphical frontend like X-server to work.
best regards

Why did you buy an Android phone when you hate Android?
Anyway, are you planning to use the phone to make calls?
If so, you can't use any standard Linux distributions.
If you do some googling you should be able to find a guide to install Ubuntu and run X on it.
I think there's an official version for dual core phones, but unfortunately that does not affect this phone.
Ubuntu doesn't run native, but through chroot.
There are no native installation guides.
If you can remake any distribution to have 4MB kernel and load everything from another partition - you can try to make a native installation yourself. Look at the mounts in loaded system, look at the kernel code and see how you need to compile one, and make it.
Otherwise - sell the phone and buy something else.
hello,
i've got motorola xoom MZ604 (wifi-only), and following this link from kali linux, and also this one, i've managed to install kali linux natively on my xoom.
it is booting, i can login, i can connect to internet via wpa_supplicant and other methods, but i have one big issue - i can't get the Xserver to run.
looking it up - it is related to the fb* issue on the nvidia tegra here.
but when i try to recompile the kernel with the fix on that link, the compilation fails everytime.
is there a way to apply this patch to my already installed kali?
or rather - any other way to solve this?
thanks,
Ilan

Generally, it's bad practice to patch a compiled kernel. Occasionally I'll run into issues like this and I have to start over in a new source folder and try to recompile from scratch. If it succeeds, you know something was changed in your source other than your patch that borked it. If it fails, it sounds like the patch may not work.
Hey everyone,
As the title suggests, of those who have tried out Linux Deploy (for those of you who don't know what this, Its an app that automates setting up of chroot Linux and provides a few different "graphics subsystems" vnc, xserver and framebuffer) have you managed to get framebuffer working?
Seems like its largely trial and error as to getting the correct settings, I was unable to get this working using CAF Cyanogenmod. Maybe its dependent on kernel configuration, i was unable to find any reports of this working on the nexus 5.
Are you still doing anything with this? Currently working to try to get a Fedora install on my phone.
problem #1: i literally installed ubuntu just 2 hours ago and i've already lost root permissions? how and why? i can't edit .profile. and i NEED to edit the file as the sole purpose of installing ubuntu is to learn to build roms. the lineage OS building instructions say i need to add a few lines of code to it.
problem #2: my WIFI is too slow. it only supports WPA personal and my router says that encryption is only 54mbps. speed tests show anywhere from 8mbps to 60mbps. meanwhile, my windows computers' speed tests are where they're suppose to be...around 100mbps. i was using the latest version of linux mint for about a week. same issue.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
i got problem #1 fixed. i had to make a root password.
