First you have to flash this zimage
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=357141&d=1278649181
Do this by rebooting your phone into fastboot
adb reboot-bootloader
then,
fastboot flash zimage zImage
then reboot and follow the instructions on this tutorial and it will work like a charm

Thank vinny75 for compiling the zimage that makes this work for the evo
and thank the guy who wrote the tutorial for everything else..
thank me for nothing because i didnt do anything lol
EDIT: EVERYBODY JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THIS LINK

Please, wrong section... I am begging you. The Q&A section is two clicks away.
Ubuntu hasn't been ported to the Evo. It is a highly involved process. You can't expect a ROM for the Nexus One to work on the Evo right? There are drivers to port, kernel modifications to be made. Lots of stuff have to happen first.
The website you pointed to mentions that he is working on a port anyhow. Wait for that to come out.

I'm going to leave this here, because mistakes shouldn't be hidden under a rug, but acknowledged and learned from. I am following this thread, and I may give it a try when I am done with my Physics studies this weekend.

i messaged toast and he told me to put it in the development section
Seems like a development thread to me

There is the Linux for android app in the market but it will only work with a loop file system which our kernels don't have or a specially partitioned SD card.

if loop file system is required and loop support isnt compiled into the stock kernel, i haven't checked this, but with the HTC source coded release last week, shouldn't be an issue to compile your own kernel adding in loop support or having a ROM/kernel dev add in loop support.
edit: if i remember right, its a simple option to check under file system in the make kernel config.

Why is it you repeatedly insist on trolling this "wrong section" bull**** on almost all the threads? It's not your job.
Toast will take care of it. bobdude5 isn't a new member and yet you treat him as such? His question obviously belongs in this section and even when you call him out on it... a Mod has already authorized him to post in section? I bet you feel dumb.
It seems to me, you have no idea where most questions belong, it's probably best you keep your mouth shut and let Toast worry about those who are posting in the wrong section -- it's not even that hard for a Mod to move certain questions to a different section.
Add your input, just don't be a troll.

I'd be interested in getting Ubuntu working on the EVO 4G. This is definitely a kick-start kind of thread to get that done, too, and could definitely be a start to a larger project that didn't have much visibility before.

I too apologize for my overbearing tone, it's just there are a tun of new people here and then there are veterans -- most of which know the rules by now and understand the ramifications for there actions; don't take it upon yourself to worry about them; that's what the mods are for. Again, sorry.... and thank you.

Ok back on topic please.
Also I wanna add its most likely the kernel also. I can compile one for testing tonight if someone doesn't wanna help out and do it first. I think we also need to setup the evo on decordes Linux for HTC devices wiki. I'm at work so searching and linking isn't possible atm. I know he has a section for us there already. We can also gain from the wikis for similar devices there. Anyhow yeah let's not clutter thus thread with trash and let the development begin.
For anyone wanting to see Ubuntu running on the Nexus One and tutorial on how to do it... here's the video.

Now, obviously the directions are for the NEXUS ONE... and most likely won't work for the EVO, however this is good starting point to see what steps can be taken from the video and tweaked to make it work with our EVO's.
Good luck.
I am actually working on this
The problem with it is that the Evo 4G kernel needs to be compiled with support for loop devices. All Nexus One ROMs actually support this but Evo 4G doesn't.
The best way would be to ask those guys making the ROMs to compile the support for loop devices for future versions such as OMJ Roms.
Then could just use the same Nexus One script and would work.
In the meanwhile, I am learning to compile the kernel myself but perhaps you guys can ask the others to include support for loop devices on other ROMs.
Just need to enable CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP=y in the kernel config and rebuild.
Seems to be working now, installing LXDE as I type this.
extract the attached zImage then boot into fastboot and "fastboot boot zImage" to test.
EDIT: VNC works.
Why not something more lightweight than ubuntu?
Ubuntu netbook remix might be nice.....

Now, you may have seen the other CM7 thread, and those who saw it know it was a cluster*MOD EDIT*. I'm just going to clear up some of the misinformation about the port.
1. I am currently running CM7 on my phone.
2. It is not a dual boot, unlike supercurio's NSONSGS work, it is an actual rom.
3. It is only being developed for the i9000, but with a few reorientations, it's usable as captivate rom.
4. There are no official releases for either phone, you must build from source. Instructions are on the CM forums.
Any other questions, I'm happy to answer. I just don't like when misinformation is wrongly spread.
Sorry about that. Heh heh. I apologize for that thread.
So couple questions.
1 If it's a full ROM did you have to convert NAND to EXT4 as well? My understanding was the WHOLE file system on NS was EXT4.
2 If you did have to convert it, have you tried going back to any other "regular" ROM's?
Thanks for the information/clarification. Honestly though, I think it's unfair to single out DG, he's helped alot of people here. If he is wrong he's wrong but no need to hate.

Thanks for starting a new thread, as you said, clusterf*ck. Out of curiosity, as I'm still syncing repo, did you reorient the kernel yourself or did it come with the repo?

misinformation? They are using supercurios kernel work to boot it. (i said KERNEL not initram, where the dual boot comes from)
If there is any further work being done by codeworkx and others, its in private., but I can tell you there is NO chatter in the dev channel, hasn't been in some time.
Can't we just get over everything and stop with the petty insults... This thread is going downhill already, lets try and keep it clean.

1. Nope, everything is mounted as yaffs2. When you flash the "initial" zip, it creates all the partitions.
2. You can, but you must either use "repartition" in Odin, or use the one click to stock.
And I know, I was just joking about. I can certainly edit that out if it offends him.

They may be using it, but they've done a ton of work on it. Are you looking at sc's repo, or coolya's? Cause coolya's is the one with CM7.
EDIT: DG, it's not a dual boot. They may be using his kernel as a base, but a lot of the work is from there.

Because when stuff doesn't work, people ***** at them and they have to fix it, taking time away from deving. That, on top of the captivate not even being an officially supported device.

They probably will get mad. Honestly, even though its open, there are still moral issues. Its basically taking someones hard work and passing it off as your own, because you know that people will credit the one who built it and made it freely available.

Very organized and helpful, thank you.
I updated the ROM section. I included a description of each ROM, put the most recent update date, updated the version numbers, and put them in order of newest to oldest.
I also put a backup section and included a how to on backing up your phone using Clockwork. It may need some further explanation but I provided the basics. I also updated the WiMax portion since it can now be done using Clockwork.

This is probably not a long shot, I've been looking myself and have found a few posts/thread that contain TWO NEEDED pdf's from a massive file leak from Qualcomm themselves. However, links are down. I'm certain the files are located somewhere on a chinese based website but, I'm also certain many people who followed E:V:A's R&D thread have the files. There is ~140 files.I already have the MSM8960 Boot Arcitecture Overview file that I obtained before the leak. A eMMC Partition Tables Raw Program pdf is referenced in it. If either of the files mentioned below are found, I will gladly PP you a reward.
80-N1622-5_MSM8960_CHIPSET-RTR860X_PM8921_WCD9310_WCN3660-SCHEMATICS_AND_DESIGN_GUIDELINES.pdf OBTAINED
80-N4584-1_A_eMMC_Partition_Tables_Raw_Program.pdf
There are possibly more files needed but I won't know that until I am able to look at and read the pdf itself.
I'll keep searching the interwebz but, if anyone has them by chance I would love to have them.
EDIT:
I also am in need of the QPST tools. The release number is 2.7.318, iirc. I think I know where to get this. Just posting this here just incase anyone could possibly have it(18th.abn, maybe?)OBTAINED
