Hi, i have a question.
I wanted to try the Linux on Android app (Ubuntu or Kali Linux) but it seems like i am getting some sort of problems & idk what it causes (however i read that some security thing in cyanogenmod could be it).
First error is when i want to start up linux image from Linux on Android, in terminal it only shows something like this "4;60R".
Second one is when i manually start up one of those linux distributions with terminal, everything seems ok but in androidVNC it shows only grey screen with cross i as mouse in middle, i can move with it but it has no GUI...
It would be awesome if somebody will help me, thanks.

I have finally started making the switch to linux mint instead of windows. I love it so far but i have a question for the more linux savvy people here.
In windows i was using droid explorer to browse around in the phone file system.
Is there something like this for linux? maybe i dont need a so called program but maybe just some commands in terminal i dunno.
Plugging in the phone gives me a a HTC android phone in computer but i cannot click on it to browse.
I am new to linux so if this is something obvious please be gentle to me i am learning

Did you ever have any problems with Droid Explorer?

2 options
Use the cli to browse the file system
build MC with the Android toolchain and static link binaries and you can run MC inside the shell.

Hi Everyone,
I have few questions regarding Android.
Currently, I don't have an Android and I consider getting one.
Kindly, please answer my following questions [Related to hacking]:
1- Does Android Support Chroot-ing? (Assuming it is been rooted)
2- If it does, is it possible to start/run Xorg/Xserver (Natively)?
3- If Chroot-ing is not possible nor starting an X-server. How easy to dual boot Debian/Fedora/Etc ... in Android phones?
I'm considering to buy Android to chroot or booting a linux in it (ARM Type).
I have already wasted a lots of time trying get my an answer for my questions, the only thing I found is about using VNC on android, but nothing about X11 Forwarding.
If you don't recommend doing any of the above, could you tell me why not [RAM/Technical reason]?
Thanks in advance | You will get thanks after answering me
I guess, I shouldn't scratch "Thanks in advance". Otherwise I might had a better luck.
Hi, may be is too late, i find your post searching info on chrooting.
It's possible installing busybox and like you may had find : on nexus ubuntu can be used.
You can use it from terminal or from vnc so you will have X.
I installed busybox but the bootubuntu script don't find chroot, i installed it from GOT's OpenRecovery (first option)
Xorg does run, I tested it, but the screen becomes garbled, because of Android and Xorg tries to write to screen simultaneously.. I'm trying to find a solution for that lately.
@theGanymedes you run xorg without vnc ? you havn't display error ?
screenshot ?
thanks
New X server written as app for Android
Somebody has written an xserver for android:
my20percent.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/android-x-server/
It is open source:
code.google.com/p/android-xserver/
And is on the market (search for 'x server').
Needs some work but could be the answer to running all gui apps from a chroot inside android!
Hi,
I am running a rooted stock JB. I have a Debian (tried also Ubuntu) in a chroot environment running, and I am using a vncserver to run X applications. Some things like lxde and gedit are running fine. Others, in particular all KDE applications (but also others) are not running at all or look completely chaotic (most GUI elements missing, black and/or in the wrong place) and are unusable. I tried some time ago the same thing on my phone (HTC Desire Z with CyanogenMod - unfortunately recently bricked so I cannot try anything anymore), there everything ran just fine (despite very slow).
Is this maybe due to missing features in the kernel of the stock firmware? Are there any ticks to get around these limitations without flashing another ROM? (I would rather not void my warrenty...)
Thanks for any insight,
Martin
No ideas? Is anyone running some Linux in chroot on the original firmware?

I run Ubuntu in chroot everyday but I've never messed with vnc.

My guess is that the number of people using Ubuntu on the tf700 is quite small, so you might not be able to get the answer to your question here. However, there is a support thread for Ubuntu on the tf700, you might want to ask your question there:

So guys I am new to Linux and the OpenSource ideology. Is there a ' - for Dummies' kind of guide which you people know of so that I can get started. I have questions in mind like - "How is Linux different from Windows ?". So, to cut a long story short, how and from where do I get started ?
(By the way, I am running Ubuntu Linux in a virtual machine via vmware player. So until I am comfortable enough with Linux, I can't even think of installing it directly onto my hard drive.)

You can look at the Ubuntu wiki, which is very well made and self-explanatory.
I think the Ubuntu wiki is a good place to start for those high-level questions. I'd also highly recommend at least getting comfortable with using the command line. You don't need to learn every command, but it's a very useful tool.

I'm sure it will help you.

I would recommend you install Gentoo or Arch to learn the fastest. Installing ubuntu is too "easy"
Good day everyone, have been trying to run linux on this device for some time now without luck , for some reason it wont let me launch any of these options. Read that I needed a permissive kernel and used Civz kernel for lollipop 5 and when using complete linux installer it just brings a gray screen with a message saying that theres no d-bus, and when I try to run linux deploy for ubuntu it fails on Vnc and ssh.
Any help really appreciated, thanks a lot.
