Debian in Haykuro/Cupcake builds

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.

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:

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.

[Q] Backtrack 5 ARM problems

I have a problem with the img from backtrack 5 ARM. I dont find anything like aircrack, kismet, airmon,.... is it just me ? What img do you guys use if you have aircrack up and running ?

The wifi tools are not installed. When running in chroot you are running on top of android so you do not have direct access to the hardware so you cant put the wifi card into monitor mode. Thats the reason that kismet, airmon, aircrack, etc are not even installed.

What's the problem?

aircrack is installed... you just have to navigate to the right folder which is:
/pentest/exploit/set/src/wireless
The only problem is that your network card cannot get into monitor mode.. so it's useless..
I myself am just waiting for that to happen

BackTrack 5 for Android Smartphones - VERY UNSTABLE

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.

Open up "installbusybox" in a text editor and axe the first two lines, then try again.

Hrm... I failed when packaging the version that got put up online (sorry). I'm fixing now, will update shortly.

ok i remove the first two lines, and i got:

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!

[WIP] Linux On Galaxy Y

Only for Linux folks noobs must stay away until it get fully working
​Hi ,
I made (actually I put some scripts in one file then modified them ) script to make Linux work on our little Y and it works
the problem is the image I used to test didn't have GUI and my internet connection is slow so can any body test it and report
How to make it
1-download the attached file the extract it you'll get folder "linux"
2-copy it to /SDCard here
3-download linux image (Google it) note : your linux image should be physical drive image not .iso but .img and it should support armv6 like debian for example
4-make sure that busybox is installed and you phone is rooted
5-open terminal emulator and type :
su
cd /sdcard/linux
sh install.sh
linux
that's it you should now be dropped to linux bash
SS will be available soon

Even stock Samsung kernels for the SGY support loop devices…
And SGY /system is RFS, not yaffs2. It would be enough to just
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system

Something kind of chroot/re mount script right so one could possibly emulate debian with this eh ?

My script doesn't contain debian.sh file
Now I understand it please copy only linux.img to sdcard/linux along with my scripts and don't use any other script

thats it you got it running now type the following
export USER=root
tightvncserver

Hmmm this is the hard part
I type tightvncserver
It should ask for password right
It shows
Code:
you will require password to access your desktop
But without showing this (without asking for password)-
Code:
password:
Verify:
It shows error - 'password too short'

using 'tightvncpasswd' to set password doesn't work either going to try ssh

I think you have downloaded debian image with corrupted vncserver I got this error when I first made this script but at least we now know that linux can now run on galaxy y
btw I tried every thing to fix that but it didn't work LOL
THE ONLY FIX IS TO DOWNLOAD ANOTHER IMAGE
I got an idea why DON'T we use raspery pi debian image I download it but it's sdcard image which doesn't work so can any body conver it ?

Thanks anwar for helping all along will try another image later and post if success . Again thank you

backtrack has an arm image, debian, how about bsd's?

Try Damn Small Linux (DSL),
or this.

I'll try to build slitaz the it also have arm support (not sure can any body check)
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

Slitaz is one of the smallest distributions available - just tried googling for arm support but no satisfactory results
leap before you think
