Okay.. So I got a new computer..
Specs:
CPU - AMD FX-6100 [ 6 Cores 6 Threads ] [ Clocked at 3.3 GHz ]
RAM - 8GB
GPU - ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series
and I'm going to dual boot it with Windows 7 64bit.. Have 32bit installed currently...
And I was wondering what the best ubuntu version would be for dev purposes? 12.04? or 10.04?
I know there are some fixes that have to be done in 12.04 for source to compile but what about 10.04 and 11.10?? which one is better?
I believe I read somewhere(liverpool_fan said it) that Ubuntu 10.04 was used by the CM team to compile the source for CM10.. So that version will not have any compatibility issues with anything..
So I'd recommend using 10.04..
But then again, personal preference is the way to go!!

hmm ok good start, for what do you want to compile? my experience so far i`ve had to install diff versions of ubuntu to compile cm roms and aosp based roms......11.10 ubuntu 64bit has done the best so far for cm9/7.......had a few errors with compiling cm10 on ubuntu12.04 64bit (used 10.06.6 lucid instead) but it may have been solved now......whichever version you try make sure its 64bit version
as for dual booting, personally i would`nt, can be a ball ache if your system throws a wobbler or you mess something up...I prefer the virtual machine route......Windows 7 64bit native os install, then install vmware workstation to install whichever flavour of Ubuntu you like
ubuntu 10.04?

Hm.. thanks for the quick reply.. I'm going to install Windows 7 64bit... But say I already have the sources in my laptop... Could I get them into my virtualbox or vmware hard drive.. ?? and I'll have to use that dynamic storage thing as I'll have to sync the sources... I have a 5mbps connection.. Takes quite a while for sources to sync... Especially of CNA..
EDIT - Lucid Lynx or Oneiric Ocelot?

hmm well if you`ve got the sources already on your comp (in a ubuntu installation) then you can backup/compress the "projects" folder in "android/system/.repo/" it contains all the repo`s you sync from a ubuntu installation and will save time downloading again, then you could install windows 64bit (update it all, windows update etc) install vmware workstation or similar, install ubuntu 64bit through vmware, setup the environment, setup the repo you had (without repo syncing) and restore projects folder to the same place then repo sync............ not sure on windows based git repo`s
How about 32 bit windows and 64 bit ubuntu running virtual box?

Okay So I realized I have only 4gb ram so how about I run Ubuntu 64 bit in a 32bit windows?

well if your comp is capable of 64bit (dual core and above) but you have 32bit windows installed then yes you can install vmware with ubuntu 64bit BUT you will be limited to 4gb ram max, which means you can only allocate around 2.5 - 3.0gb of ram as windows 32bit needs a 1gb ram minimum to run processes.....maybe you can use swap partition on ubuntu or something to add more virtual ram
Well i wanted to develop some Roms from scratch! so i decided to get hold of VirtualBox abd Ubuntu!
I downloaded virtualBox 4.2.6 and Went to their site downloaded
Ubuntu 10.4 VDI
After Starting the VDI i am getting stuck at this window.
Cant run it..Help me guys?

What do You mean by "stuck"? It seems that You downloaded server version of Ubuntu 12.04.2 which doesn't have any GUI installed by default (I assume that this is the problem).
Just like ximian said. Server version does not come with GUI.
You can still install it with command: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Or download desktop version.
O thanks a lot

Hello,
I would like to know where I can get some info about installing Ubuntu / Debian 7 on my X86 tablet device.
Tablet uses an Intel Atom Z2560CPU.
If possible I would like any of the following possibilities:
Possibility one:
Run Android along with Debian (something like chroot)
Possibility two:
Erase Android from the device (currently installed) and make a fresh Debian install.
Possibility three:
Dual Boot with Debian and Android.
The hard part is that the tablet device doesn't have any kind of BIOS (at least one accessible to the user)!
I already tried multiple apps (to run Linux distro's) from the Play Store, but nothing seems to work.
Presently I have the machine with Android 4.0.4 rooted.
What do I need? Where can I find some documentation?
Thank you
It can also be some other Linux distro.
Thank you
Hello,
I am primarily a windows user but have tinkered with various Linux distros over the years. Really enjoying running the latest Opensuse 42.1 with the kde desktop.
My wife wants me to root her Moto G 1st edition, which I did a few years ago on Windows 7.
Curious to know how Opensuse and ADB/Fastboot play when it comes to rooting, flashing factory images etc?
With windows 7 I found it pretty straight forward, however I seem to remember it was a bit of a nightmare on Ubuntu getting the distro to find the phone (my HTC) and I gave up. Tried the 51 android rules and all that, but still no luck.
To get to the point, anyone have Opensuse playing nicely with their Moto G' and could post some instructions so I can get back to rooting?
Thanks,
Simply install Android Tools.
In openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/package/android-tools
In Ubunutu: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Tip: 'sudo' may be required to run fastboot / adb - i.e, sudo fastboot devices
Does it still need 51 android rules creating for the device? I had an awful time with permissions and trying to find the phone on Mint (Ubuntu based) last time I tried this.
Many thanks for your reply.

No configuration or setup is required.
I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in my laptop. I installed Android x86 in a separate partition and didn't installed GRUB since it was already installed with Ubuntu. After the installation finished, I it booted directly into android. After I restarted, I can't boot into android. GRUB doesn't give that option.
Help will be appreciated.
