I use the linux utility "tcping" to troubleshoot network related issues from behind a firewall. I'm not really a coder, but I've been trying for a while to compile it from source on my Android phone because I would like to be able to verify that all of my APs are up when I'm on the road. I haven't had any luck getting it working though.
Does anyone know if this can be ported to Android? http://www.linuxco.de/tcping/tcping.html
debian kit?
For now I can only think of a debian kit to omit the halt
Yeah, I was able to use it with Debian kit on my Photon, but now I have a Galaxy Note II and the Debian installation process always freezes up when I try it. I was hoping someone would be able to show me how to compile a more native solution.

I was wondering if people would like it if i made a prebulit VM image usable with the free VMware player. It would just be a linux distro with the appropriate tools and what not too run the SDK. Then I might port over some of the developer's scripts (Lucid, Metlus, MartinFick) to the system so people will not have to search for scripts or anything (noob friendly). Anyone else think this is a good idea?
That'd be a good idea. I was thinking of setting up a VM for Android. Mainly for checking it out. I'd be curious to see what tools and programs you use in your setup.
Well eather a JeOS Ubuntu Cd or puppy linux as a base then on top of that a script that gets the SDK from Google and moves the appropriate files to the correct places (Have to get the SDK from Google because they prohibit redistribution)
They're working on it http://code.google.com/p/live-android/
In a virtual environment there is currently no mouse or networking support, but it's a good step forward.
I aware of the support of running android on a x86 system, this is not what i want to do. I want to make a VM package anyone can used by downloading VMware player for free. This VM will a linux distro with SDK and parts needed to modify the android system, without the need for a live cd. The advantage of a VM is we only need to support the VM hardware and everything is in a preset controlled environment.
I think its a good Idea!
I'm pretty new to linux and struggled a lot getting a vm setup. I saw a thread of someone asking if something like that was out there in my travels of figuring it out. I think it would help lots of people if they had a vm image that was all set up and ready to go as soon as they load it. If you make it I'd still be interested in using it even though I already have one that is working.
I have been flashing others' ROMs for about a year now, but I have also been on Ubuntu (and also tried Bodhi and other distros) on my laptop for years now. I was wondering if a ROM could be compiled using a hybrid of android and ubuntu or debian source code?
I would like to get a BT keyboard and an external monitor, and eventually do away with my laptop. I am in a masters program for instructional technology, and NEED to be able to write in APA format... difficult for QuickOffice Pro, but easy for OpenOffice and/or LibreOffice...
I know that an armel (ARM) version of ubuntu is available, and that a chroot method is possible via VNC. Ideally, however, I would love to run Ubuntu natively, but need phone functions too. I am up for a VZW upgrade anytime now, but wonder what handset would be best for attempting something like this, if it is possible? I am currently using the D1.

Hi!
I'm looking for an offline C compiler, and an offline webserver with PHP. The best would be a whole IDE, but I don't think it's exist for android 'cause it's for phones for first. I'm doing the C compiling on a chrooted debian, but it's not so comfortable. And the apache in there doesn't work. So any suggestions?
Thx:RiseR
It is possible to do something like this I just wouldnt know where to start. They have been able to get Ubuntu working on it and I am thinking about buying a second one to do that but its still buggy. I did however turn my rooted G1 into a server controller.
I already did it. I'm dual booting it. And on ubuntu it's fine, I can compile my programs but apache doesn't work there as well. I'm using IceWM, the only problem is the following:There're not as good keyboard as android has, so it's a bit slow to use. I'm using xvkbd, tried matchbox-keyboard, and onboard as well, but none of them are tablet ready, I think.
(I still don't have keyboard dock)
Give virtualbox a try ?
Have you tried using something other than Apache? nginx and lighttpd have worked for me under the debian chroot.
Try paw server for android then install the PHP plugin. Works for me so far.
Hi there
After a tragic accident the touchscreen of my Nexus S lost its touch- prefix. I'm thinking into turning it into a linux machine to use as a small home server (I have many uses for those, I'm using serveral Raspberry Pi for this purpose), and I'm looking for the best solution.
I'm open to any Linux distribution (even if I am quite more familiar with debian derivatives). If possible, I would like to get rid of the Android stack itself because it is quite useless without touch input. I won't use a SIM card in it so I only need Wireless LAN.
Here are the options I have found so far :
- Using Ubuntu Touch and hoping it can be accessed with SSH and used like a "normal" distro (I had no luck installing it yet, but I will find out eventually)
- Installing Debian in a chroot over Android, but I don't know if it is possible to do with only adb access. This would not get rid of the Android stack but at least I would be sure to have a functional wireless stack.
Does anyone have pointers to how to achieve this ? Or other solutions ?
Thanks !
Recently, I found a topic about installing Linux Debian on P500. This piqued my curiosity.
The question is:
Is there other alternatives than Android for P500?
Firefox OS, Windows Phone, I know, is impossible, I am looking for other systems.
Best regards

Those Debian installs are most usually for a chroot run on top of android. Get a bash window, not likely a GUI would be able to run with our memory limitations.
Some of us would kill for a working version of Ubuntu touch, but everyone else with higher-end phones is still waiting for this.
i know it may sound newbish, but isnt possible for windows phone to tun on an android device (althought its not open source)? i fund some vague informations on google, so thats why im asking
Well if you get some flagship devices like nexus 4, nexus 5 you can enjoy firefox os, ubuntu and sailfish on them
