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.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting what I've read, but my understanding is that Android "O/S's" are a VM (via Dalvik?) that runs within a pared down linux O/S. Assuming that's not too far off, is it possible to add packages or programs to that Linux O/S? Could I, for example, add regular old Wireshark to it? Obviously the programs would have to be compiled for the correct cpu platform.
Thanks.
The kernel is Linux one... As for your question, provided you have rooted your phone, you can create a chroot there and run Linux apps on your phone.

Hi all,
Is there any info available about installing Arch Linux (ARMv6?) on a TF101?
I see their are Ubuntu-roms available, but it is possible to get this to work on Arch Linux?
Thanks.

The main issue is the kernel. The latest kernel is the "Rootbind" kernel which I have developed, see this thread, post #3:

This kernel should work irrespective of the Linux distro you are using.
Then you need a root filesystem for your Linux distribution. This you need to extract into /data/linuxroot under Android. It involves a bit of manual command line stuff, but if you want to install Arch I assume you won't be put off by that
I believe some people have gotten Arch to work on our TF101, although most of the threads are for Ubuntu and Debian. Search this forum, I can see no reason why it shouldn't work. Also, if you have an Arch Linux port for ARMv7 with hard float (armhf) this will be faster than ARMv6. Other than that I can't really help as I haven't used Arch myself.
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.

hello guys
recently i have installed a linux distro (kali linux) in my phone using linux deploy
well its quite awesome but i wanted to use two or more distros's
i tried changing the storage and changing the image names but its not working
does anyone know how to use
I'm a bored tech enthusiast/programmer with an old pixel 1 phone that's just laying around. I thought it would be hilarious if I could install an arm version of a standard Linux distro like Ubuntu or Debian. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to go about it. I could try porting hallium but I'm more looking to run a desktop version just for the laughs. Can you just boot from a Linux iso with fastboot? Would fastbooting a different kernel first work? Any help appreciated (aside from "don't do that use this instead" or "just run Linux inside Android")
