[Q] Log - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning.
Usually work with a VPN to connect to my company. A few weeks ago I installed a Mac and access to fix some problems I was of use the tail command to view the log.
Now I'm trying to install the Tablet access and would like to review the event log. In the terminal emulator I can use the tail command but do not know where to find the system.log file or similar.
Can you help?
regards

Try command "logcat", should give you streaming log...

Installing Debian on the G1

This was already mentioned by alansj here, but I though it was important enough to have it's own thread
Saurik has created a Debian image you can install onto your sd card. Once installed, you have the full power of debian on your phone. No more puny little busybox
Instructions and such are here.
Thanks Saurik!
I was actually looking into this earlier... let me know how it runs
cant download a few things
can not open ext2.ko......when i type insmod $kit/ext2.ko ...i get "insmod: can't open ' /sdcard/kit/ext2.ko'...some one please help me out
What graphical interface does this install, or is there one?

That was my question when I heard about this... I just went for it though because when I read through the instructions, I realized that everything is stored in the MicroSD card and in RAM (which is reset when the phone is rebooted)
It turns out that there is no GUI - just a good old text-based Debian install! I'm sure that someone will get one working... or maybe just port the entire BSD Subsystem along with apt so we can just forget the Market...

This awesome article has answered tons of my questions and also seems to imply otherwise:
"This does not replace Android. This also gives you access to the full plethora of programs available in Debian and let's you continue using your phone as it was intended to be: as an Android device with all the capabilities thereof."​
In addition, this IRC channel is where the author of that article idles.

Right. No gui, but you have a full working linux distro on your phone. You can apt-get just about any of the normal stuff.. You could probably even get a x-windows installation to working, although you would have to connect to it remotely - it would probably be "difficult" to get it to display a gui on the phone itself (although that would be sweet).
I've installed Saurik's image on my phone, it works great. Although if you do the "unionfs.sh" step, the wifi settings don't quite work right anymore. It won't let you enable or disable wifi.
But I was able to get an ssh server (with real user and password management) and even a samba server running on my phone quite easily with this . I've also got gcc installed, and will start playing around with developing directly on the phone (instead of having to cross compile).
Sorry for not being hip to the game, but what the heck is Debian?

Arguably the most influential distribution of Linux ever. Its package management system, apt, is awesome, and it is what Ubuntu and tons of other distros were started from.
Why would you not use Google before asking here?
can anyone help with my above mentioned problem
i want this baby to run
Is your phone connected to your computer? You lose access to the storage card when it is, I think (you can't cd to it when it's plugged in) and unplugging my phone allowed me to install the module.

Installing Debian errors?
Here is what I get:
insmod $kit/ext2.ko
insmod: init_module '/sdcard/kit/ext2.ko' failed (Operation not permitted)
i've been through this, i'm not gonna explain what happens and why, but imo, the only way to get a real root is the following:
-Install telnet client to your device (from android market).
-Reboot your phone to be sure no telnet-daemons/shells are running.
-When you are on the desktop, just type "enter", "telnetd", "enter". (If you do it from the terminal app it will run under the uid of the terminal app which is not root).
-Then run the telnet client app, and connect to local host. (Or skip this step + the first one if you wanna connect from another pc)
I know it's weird, but when you run something from the terminal app it runs under the terminal app's uid, even if you run a new shell, you still are eg. "app_33", not root. and btw you will have to set the environment variables all from the same shell, that means you can't have a script cause it will run under another shell, with another uid. I'm so confused... maybe I'm wrong but android is not the most friendly environment.

Haha I feel you. Now the thing is when I am at the home screen on my G1 i push "Enter" on the keyboard and then type "telnetd" and then push enter again it doesnt do anything. When I open up telnet client on my PC it wont connect with wifi on.
So I then go to Telnet client on myG1 and go to connect to "localhost:23" and it says "Error while connecting to server: localhost/127.0.0.1:23 - Connection refused" the thing is that my local host for my wifi is not 127.0.0.1:23
And when I "netstat" from inside Terminal Emulator there is no address with port "23"

localhost usually refers to the loopback interface which on most devices will be 127.0.0.1.
I'm getting the same thing here... I think there's something wrong with apt-get having to write to /tmp which does not exist (and is mounted read-only).

USB tethering without root (not SOCK5)

This is a program I wrote a while back that allows transparent tethering over USB without requiring root access. It works by simulating an unencrypted OpenVPN server and then internally running everything through a Java-based NAT. I get decent speeds off it, but your mileage may vary. It's a bit beta! Might explode! Wear eye protection!
It has a really basic website at http://lfx.org/azilink/, but to spare your eyes I'll just paste the instructions below:
Required files:
- ADB from the 1.1 SDK or from http://lfx.org/azilink/adb.zip
- OpenVPN 2.1 (not 2.0) from http://openvpn.net/index.php/downloads.html
- AziLink.apk from http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.apk
- AziLink.ovpn from http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.ovpn
Installation:
1) Install OpenVPN on the host. I use version 2.1_rc15, but any version should work. Apparently if you use version 2.0 you'll need to remove the NO_DELAY option from the AziLink.ovpn configuration file. You can find OpenVPN at:
http://openvpn.net/index.php/downloads.html
2) Enable USB debugging on the phone. From the home screen, this is under
Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging.
3) Install the Android USB driver (if you don't already have one installed).
See http://code.google.com/android/intro/develop-and-debug.html#developingondevicehardware
4) Install the program. You can either use ADB to install by typing
"adb install azilink.apk" with the file in the current directory, or you can browse (on the phone!) to: http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.apk
Either way you might need to allow installation from unknown sources
under Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources.
Configuration steps:
1) On the host, run "adb forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927" to set up port forwarding. Be sure to use adb from the Android 1.1 SDK! The version from 1.0 will lock up under heavy load. If you don't want to download the entire SDK, you can get a copy of ADB+drivers from http://lfx.org/azilink/adb.zip
2) On the phone, run AziLink and make sure "Service active" is checked.
3) Right click AziLink.ovpn on the host (not in the web browser!) and select "Start OpenVPN on this configuration file." You can find this file at: http://lfx.org/azilink/azilink.ovpn. If you're using Linux or, god forbid, MacOS, you'll also need to manually set the nameserver to 192.168.56.1 (the phone's NAT IP address).
Nice work around.
Wow, amazing work! I'll definitely have to mess around with this tomorrow...
OpenVPN 2.0.9
Thnx for the manual..!! Took me something to get it working, i'll find out, that it isn't working with OpenVPN version 2.0.9
OpenVPN 2.0.9 doesn't recognize the following rule in azilink.ovpn:
socket-flags TCP_NODELAY
And it worked with version 2.1rc15...
So no more Internet Sharing on Windows Mobile...

Ok I'm a complete noob and I've played about with this but can't get it to work. How do I run adb? As in the very first step? Where do I type that. Do I need to install adb and how do I do it?
Thanks
Got it working
Man this is awesome.
I realised i needed to run the adb from cmd. see when i tried to open adb.exe it just kept closing.
thanks alot. this rocks
ps im writing this off my tethered pc

Nah, you can just unzip adb and run it directly from that folder. It's a command line program, so you'd need to run it from a command prompt (cmd.exe). I'm not sure whether adb needs to run as an administrator or not (I disable all that UAC garbage in Vista). If you have the proper driver installed, then the ADB command should return immediately without saying anything. If it says "waiting for device..." that means it wasn't able to find the Android debug driver.
I know this is all a bit hacky, but now that we've got root and wifi tethering I figured that there wouldn't be too much interest.
cheers
its working great like. im using this cus i havent rooted my phone yet. tethering was the only reason why i wanted to root it but this is a great alternative
Works Great. Thanks for the easy instructions.
Here is translation of post on Russian with images http://androidteam.ru/faq/azilink-tethering-with-android-usb.html
I have repacked all in one zip, and make some command files to make process a little easy.
another trick that may help on XP machines, probably other versions as well.
Create a shortcut to adb.exe on your windows desktop (mine is located in C:\and\tools)
Modify the 'target' (right-click,properties) of the shortcut to read C:\and\tools\adb.exe forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927 <I think this is the right code, I'm still using tetherbot on 1080>
That's it. Once everything's set up connecting is easy. one click on the computer, no cmds required

If you've got enough bandwidth. I'm not really sure what bitrate flash video runs at though.
Many thanks for this, aziwoqpd. I've not had the time to root, but have been looking for an easy way to tether. A usb connection is great, since the battery drains so quickly anyway it's nice to keep a charge going.
sonikamd - thanks for the suggestion, it's a great idea. Unfortunately my XP doesn't want to accept your syntax. I wish I could offer something else, but my skills (ha!) are nonexistant. I'm embarassed to say that I had to refresh my memory on how to maneuver around command lines...
Got any other suggestions?
Thanks again for all your work!
the AziLink.ovpn file wont download for me.
works fine for me, GREAT WORK!
Okay, so I'm trying this out on a mac. I've successfully built openvpn and have my tunneling device (/dev/tun0, /dev/tun1, etc.). I run the adb forward command and it starts the daemon successfully, I fire up azilink on the phone and it says it's waiting for the connection, I fire up openvpn and the phone changes to stating that it's connected. Openvpn does not exit out - it starts the tunnel - BUT in the logging it reports " ROUTE: problem writing to routing socket" twice (which oddly appears to be a non-fatal error to the application), and traffic is unable to flow. I'm guessing it's something about openvpn not correctly manipulating the darwin routing tables, but I've been unsuccessful thus far in figuring out the nature of the problem so I thought I'd check here.
I'm running the straight azilink openvpn config file, which means if I need any syntactical changes for darwin I haven't applied them. The openvpn documentation is not terribly good and I was unable to find any documentation of routing command differences for MacOS (if that's even the problem, of course).
Edit: I forgot to mention, I've been trying to ping known-good IPs by address to test the routing - after my first attempt at loading a web page failed I figured it best to remove name services from the possible list of problems. The bytes sent count was slowly incrementing (up to about 23K bytes in ten minutes of diagnosis), and the inbound count got up to about 900 bytes in the same period, so clearly *something* was getting through - unless those counters are counting all traffic into and out of the phone and just going over the cable - but I got no ping responses, no websites could load, and by all appearances from the terminal, no data was moving.

The byte counters only include traffic that OpenVPN is forwarding, so something is making it over. Did you try changing the DNS server to either 192.168.56.1 or an external address like 4.2.2.2? OpenVPN on MacOS and Linux won't set the nameserver automatically.
Also, there's a bit of a problem with pinging. The app on the phone can't generate ICMP ping packets since it isn't running as root. When you send an ICMP ping, the phone translates it to a UDP ping, sends it, and translates the reply back to a ICMP ping. Unfortunately, probably about 50% of hosts don't reply to UDP pings. Some that I've tested with that do work are lfx.org and he.net.
I'll see if I can give it a quick test on a Mac sometime tomorrow.
EDIT: I managed to get it working, although T-Mobile's so-called "transparent" web proxy is barely working today so I was having trouble accessing websites without getting errors. SSH was working fine, though. Anyway, here's what I did:
1- Installed a MacOS port of OpenVPN called Tunnelblick (didn't have XCode handy to compile my own and it's got a pretty GUI)
2- Copied azilink.ovpn to /users/azi/library/openvpn or whatever it is
3- Click the Tunnelblick icon in the upper-right, go to details, click "set nameserver"
4- Remove the TCP_NODELAY line because it was complaining that my kernel didn't support it (and would cause my connection to timeout after about 30 seconds).
5- Clicked connect
If you want to see what traffic's going over openvpn, you can just run "sudo tcpdump -n -i tun0"
wow ... this works great ... tested using a german G1 under linux (arch 686), win vista (x64) & win xp (x86) ... pretty good speed and low latency (actually i can't notice any latency at all - no mather if using wlan or 3g)!
GREAT WORK!!!

"Permission Denied" trying to ssh from terminal

Hey folks, having an issue trying to ssh from within the terminal app using CM5 or CM6. Not a huge issue, ConnectBot works just fine. But I was hoping to use the command line ssh program to script up a few things.
The first is that ssh doesn't appear to use DNS. No matter what domain name I give it, it errors out. So I've just been feeding it IP addresses directly instead.
Second: I can use ssh as root no problem, but not as a normal user. When running as root it complains about trying to create /.ssh on a readonly filesystem, but it completes the connection and functions. However, when trying to run as a normal user ssh just says "permission denied" and exits. I had assumed it was trying to create a .ssh and failing. I've tried setting up a directory that the user can write to under /data and setting that as HOME before running ssh, but I still get the same error.
Anyone know what the real underlying error might be here, and how to fix it? Thanks.

ADB enhanced Putty (replacement for "adb shell" command)

We all know that running "adb shell" from the command line is pretty crap, and when using a latter busybox version which has coloring support it's ultimately crap. One workaround was usually to start a telnet server on the phone, and use putty to connect to that telnet server. Actually there is a more easier way to do that which also works for non rooted phones.
Actually the Android Debug Bridge has a terminal connection feature (roughly speaking), which will be enabled after you connect to the adb server in "0006shell:" mode. You can actually use the putty to connect to this interface always, by setting the following things:
- Turn off line discipline in settings
- Use RAW mode to connect to localhost:5037
- Enter "0012transport-usb" (without quotes)
- Enter "0006shell:" (without quotes)
Now you've got a full fledged connection to your device. The main drawback is that it's tedious to repeat the above all the time, so I've made some modifications to the putty binary that adds a new type of connection, called "Adb"
To use the enhanced putty:
- Select Adb from the connection type list
- Enter "transport-usb" in the host (or any other connection string, check the adb socket interface documentation if you need something else than connecting via usb)
- Enter 5037 as port, if it's not already set there.
- Connect and enjoy (you might also save this connection, so next time you only have to double-click on the settings)

Hi there, just go an LG Optimus 2X, and I'm starting to play with it.
But as my linux skill is almost inexistant I do have a hard time
So I wanted to use your alternate putty, mainly for tab-completion, but it doesn't work.
Putty is working, but "tab" is just tabing ...
Read that's a server functionality ==> does it mean that I need to install something on my phone ?
Thx for your time

To have auto complete you need to have an auto-complete enabled shell on the phone. The default "sh" shell is very minimal (as usual phone users won't use it), so you need another one. Busybox's "sh" is actually "ash" which has all of the features you need. So to use this feature you have to have busybox installed (which is usually there if you have rooted your phone, or can be installed from market)
If you have busybox installed, then you have to run it's sh with "busybox sh" or "busybox ash". You'll get a new prompt with the new features.
Thanks for adb putty!

Putty replacement
Hi there,
I don't know how relevant my post is in the context of this thread but I just wanted to let everyone know that I came across a new free terminal "ClearTerminal" which seems to be good.
You can try this one out if you need a replacement for putty or any other terminal.
It's available at clearconnex.com/content/clearterminal
Have a good time
I'm using the modified PuTTY above, which works great if there is only one device connected. Is there a way to specify a device# if you have more than one device connected?
Thanks,
Pretty sweet! How do you get the colors in the session? Mine is black & white only. Running CM7.1.
only colors ?

For anyone interested in using this when multiple devices are connected, here's sztupy's response..
sztupy said:
Yeah it's possible, and if you know the ID's of the devices you can already do it. The "transport-usb" seciotn actually means that connect to the only available usb device. If there are more than one, you have to specify the actual one. Here is the command list: http://lxr.e2g.org/source/system/core/adb/SERVICES.TXT
According to it you have to use the "transport:<serial-number>" command

You may need to start the ADB server first. You can do this by running any ADB command such as "adb devices". Then try again your new PUTTY.

Command history ?
Very nice tips and patch to putty !
It works great exept on one point :
I can't use command history, with commands I use before login (so during a previous login)
If I connect with adb shell with up arrow I see last commands I send. Not with putty-adb (neither with normal putty with manual 'login')
Can you access to your command history ?

That's because the sh on your phone does not support saving of command history. I don't know whether there exists an appropriate sh version for Android that supports this feature.
Now that I have the ADB enhanced Putty, I am annoyed that I have to manually launch the ADB server, so I wrote a batch file to start the ADB server daemon and then lauch Putty directly connected to the Android device. As described earlier, if you want to connect to a specific device, then you'll need to create and connect to a session that explicitly refers to the device ID. In my case I rarely have more than one Android device plugged in at a time, so the following batch file works for me. The session I'm connecting to is named "Android" which is why the command line for Putty uses @Android. If you had multiple connections, you could make this into a parameter and then invoke the shortcut with an argument then you could have a "Tablet" and a "Phone" shortcut. The script will wait until your device is found before launching Putty, so you can run the script and then plug in your phone later if it happens to be unplugged.
RUN-ADB-PUTTY.BAT
Code:
@echo off
cmd /C adb wait-for-device
start "PuTTY" /B "C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\adbputty.exe" @Android
Once I created this file, I then made a shortcut to the script and placed it in my Windows 7 start menu.

TELNET Client

Hello...
I know some telnet client software but every command i send must be run from textbox. it's hard to run simple vi editor inside. since i want to edit some file inside it..
in better terminal emulator pro, i can run any linux command, but i cannot telnet to any host. it always said bad address even my internet connections is good.
why telnet command cannot communicate to outside connection ?

NOBODY uses telnet anymore except for local lan connections to a router or such..
I think you mean ssh.
Actually, people use telnet for testing email servers and http.
telnet google.com 80
this command is just saying "bad address" for everything.
Does someon have an answer 7 years later almost?
