I want to install a Linux OS on my pc but last time I did I bricked it, but eventually got a Ubuntu version to work. Is operating it similar to adb for our device? Last time I recall I couldnt even install flash because it involved folder creations and command prompt. Im really interested in it but im not cmd friendly but am willing to learn.

I want to learn as well, the first step would be to forcing yourself to use Ubuntu for your every day use. slowly you will get into the command prompts. also buy a book and read it, like linux for dummies
Its a little difficult at first. Once you find an app to install, most have a command prompt to just copy and past in the terminal. If not, you can usually find it in the Ubuntu software center. I've been using Ubuntu 11.04 since it came out and finally just completely got rid of Windows on my laptop. Only thing I can't figure out how to do is get my webcam working on Linux, lol.

Hey jay, what's up man. What are you having trouble doing with your webcam? I'm also on natty and haven't had trouble with the webcam. It works fine with Skype. I had to install an app, I think its called say cheese photo booth or something like that, in order to use the web cam for taking self photos and what not. When I get home I'll see what that program is called.

Lol any linux distro has nothing to do with adb at all; adb is only relevant to your android phone.
Installing Ubuntu will be fine. I suggest you use 10.04 since it is a long-term release meaning it's quite stable and is backed up by a large number of users. You won't run into as many problems on 10.04 as on 10.10, 11.04 or 11.10.
Installing programs are simple and I love the way it works. Ubuntu uses aptitude, a system that searches repositories for your package name. The big and important repositories already come bundled into your default desktop but you could always add more if a specific program you're looking for is in a certain repository that you don't already have saved.
So if you're looking for Skype, you open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install skype, and it automatically downloads it for you. If you don't like that, you can use a graphical user-interface through the Ubuntu Software Center, or go to www.skype.com and download the .deb package (which, once downloaded, you just double click it and it installs automatically).
It won't be hard to adjust if all of your drivers work fine under Ubuntu, but I'm telling you, I strongly suggest going with 10.04 no matter what anybody else says.

How ya been Kyle? Ya I ran that cheese app but it still couldn't locate it. Got my driver list and can't even find the right device driver for it. Like it's not even there :/ I haven't tried Skype, but I tried a couple others, including hangout from Google+ and still no luck. I've searched for about 3 hrs and gave all kind of command prompts and finally just gave up, lol.

Not entirely. ADB allows you to interface with your android device, if you were to type "adb shell", it will drop you into a command shell, which is similar to your terminal in linux.
While Ubuntu is a good place to start for learning how Linux differs a good bit from Windows, if you are honestly interested in learning linux, I would recommend installing virtualbox, or getting a disposable netbook or similar device, and then installing other distributions, as there are several distros out there that fit various needs.
I personally would recommend installing and learning ArchLinux. It is probably going to be a very rough learning experience, but you will come out better around the edges in regards to knowing where things are and how things work in most linux environments than you would be in Ubuntu. They have an excellent wiki, and a good community (As long as you are willing to try yourself first, before asking for help)
Also (And I mean no offense by this, it is simply the environment of the forums), but this isn't the best place to look for help on learning Linux/Ubuntu, as these forums are centered around the EVO 3D, and many of the users probably aren't using Linux. I would recommend the Ubuntu forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/). They even have a forum specifically for absolute beginners.

Always install through the system's package manager - and Ubuntu has a very excellent forum.
dpkg (mentioned in previous post) is a a command, which does install that file; but will actuall installation may sometimes fail if the package within that file has other dependencies. Therefore, you may be better off using "aptitude".
Ubuntu forums are at ubuntuforums dot org.
I personally use Debian though. Have been on it for past 10 years. With debian "stable" you know that something does not work for you because you misconfigured it, or the hardware is not supported, or some device package is not installed. IMHO, Debian "unstable" aka sid is more stable that Ubuntu. Use Ubuntu as a stepping stone towards GNU/LInux though.
Again, if you are an absolute newbie to linux, I suggest you (or anybody new to Linux) to try out "live bootable CDs". Most distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc) have such live DVD/cds. You have to pop the disk into the drive and boot from the drive (you will have to change the BIOS settings to boot from the CD drive). USe a live cd for few hours - it will be slow - and once you are comfortable with the apps, simply install from the LIve CD's "install to hard disk" option.
You can access manuals for almost every "commandline command" on a LInux PC if you run the command "man <commandline> from the command line. GUI apps of course would have the F1 option, if the proper documentation package is installed.

See above - dpkg may not resolve dependencies. Use apt-get or aptitude for dependency resolving.
Also, for Ubuntu / Debian and almost every Linux distro, you can "add repositories" for the distro, and use the package manager to fetch, install, and configure the relevant applications over the net, automatically.
For Debian/ Ubuntu, /etc/apt/sources.list is the file you will need to edit to add another repository. (key word to search the net for is "adding repositories in <distro name>).

My project group for our senior project is developing an Android app. We are pretty much done at this point, but we have to present our app on Friday. We have done a practice presentation with a demo on the emulator, but we would like to present it on my phone.
I was wondering what is the best/easiest way to put my Android display on a PC so we can do our presentation on my phone the way it was meant to be shown.
So it would be my phone connected to a laptop, laptop connected to projector, and laptop displaying my phone's display on the projector.
This way we can also use our GPS location and use the app to take pictures which are both important parts of our presentation.
Do you have a HDMI out port on your Android device? That would work nicely.

Since you said you are developing apps, i assume you've done so using eclipse, and if not
then download it. install ADT plugin, make a bogus project,
OR if you already are working in eclipse, open your project, deploy on phone using Ctrl+F11 when your phone is in Debugging mode with ADB daemon running, open DDMS window in eclipse, on the top bar click on "Device" and then on capture screen.
oops, sorry thought you just needed pics for presentation. Remote ADB is your only way then

Afaik the idisplay was meant to migrate your pc's entire screen onto your Android phones display?wasnt?
as an alternative monitor i say
i remember my LG p970 having a PC app called ' LG on screen phone '(LG OSP) that since i was(am) #### about Smartphones networking solutions, i tried installing it on my low-end toshiba laptop, and it was damn OK and working like a charm likely with 30Fps or more.
then after i ve tried many cross-platform apps like mobo made one for my Htc and sony devices,and neither of them could saticfy me with their stupid qiualities and low frame rate.
i yet have that application. But the question is whether can a dev handle some modification on it to be use on any kinda android devices?
huh... devs are asleep..
I was just wondering. I know that Eclipse is the way to go, at least per the Android SDK website. But, I was curious what OS do most of you use? Windows or Linux? I'm currently setting up a Linux box and was going to use that to start learning Android development. I'm getting bored of doing .NET development at work and want to learn Android programming in my spare time (of what I have) and possibly to start developing apps.
What are some of the pros and cons of developing between the two OSes?
Thanks!
I stopped using Winblows when i randomly lost the ability to SBF with it.
Go Linux and never look back.
besides, virtualbox runs windows under linux better than windows runs by itself.
I used windows because it was my main OS and I used Ubuntu studio for audio recording. Windows has a lot of good tools available..like 5:1 with Linux.... Linux is good because you can Dev from source better/easier.
Now I main Ubuntu because I can play wow on it now...

I used to run Linux all the time, then when my kids got older and wanted to play various educational games from the library, I had to go to Winblows.
I do like Win 7 and now, with the kids tapped into technology at school, it's almost a given that I have to have Windows at home.
But, on my other machine (it's a p4 2ghz - ouch), I'm installing Linux and wanting to do some work on that machine so I don't have to dual-boot between Windows and Linux. Plus, I have WAY too many games (like Skyrim, Fallout, etc) on my Windows PC that I can't run Windows in a virtual machine, even though that machine is a quad-core with 8gbs of RAM and a high-end video card.
Anyways, as long as I can also SBF from Linux (which I googled and found out I can), it sounds like I'm going in the right direction in regards to using Linux for my programming Android apps.
Arch Linux, though I don't really do Android development, mostly because of the webapps I'm working on.
Gentoo/Funtoo are quite nice as well.

Hi
Yes, I have been messing wth it since I got my Prime a few months ago (running Linux on it was the reason I bought in the first place). Like you, the native stuff seems a little too "fresh" and the risk of a brick a bit too much.
Anyway, the Linux Installers Zac is doing can work well on the Prime. There is an issue with the Ubuntu 12.04 Unity at present which I have not been able to figure out as I can't deal with Unity for longer than bout 60 seconds before reaching for Xfce anyway.
I have had good results using the Ubuntu 12.04 image and installing Xfce. The VNC client you choose makes a huge difference. I have found Jump Desktop by far the best (middle and right mouse buttons, scroll wheel, dock keyboard all work great) and it is quite close to using it natively.
The real downer with the chroot methods is there does not appear to be any way to do it except by running the GUI/X as root while in Ubuntu. Not really a workable option for any long term use. This is down to how Android handles permissions and the use of TCP/UDP ports. If you try to run the VNC server as anything other than root you just get a permission failure. I have not been able to figure out a way around this yet.
Worth the download to try it out.

I'd like to ask a serious question here.. and I'm not trying to put down Ubuntu or anything - if you're into Linux, it's a good choice...
But..
*Why* would someone want to take an Android tablet and install an OS that's not really tablet friendly on it? What's the benefits?
Unless you plan to keep it in the dock all the time - then why not just buy a netbook?
What am I missing here?
You don't have to take two devices with you if you have Ubuntu installed on Transformer. If you had a tablet AND a netbook the weight would be doubled... Netbooks also have poor screens and probably less battery life.

Versatility, choice, and because we can
Android is great for some things but a lot of what I do would be much better done in a Linux environment. The Prime has replaced my laptop, and having a dual boot option would make it pretty much the perfect piece of kit for me.
I didnt realise this was available !
I will be giving it a go as soon as i get home!!
Would prefer a native install, but this looks pretty easy and quick to do, so i'll give it a shot.
And another nice thing we are not able to use because of missing root rights
I really hope somebody finds and publishes a new way to gain root. (without unlocking)
Running Linux on it was also a reason for my to chose the Prime.
Great comments all... Personally I want Linux on the Prime for some of the reasons above ( portability, not having to carry two machines, "because we can" lol ) however I mostly want it because it should offer a much better development environment on the Prime which would be great. Still haven't gotten it up and running yet, but bought everything I need, should be able to play today

No it shouldn't have any affect. It does not touch anything outside of /data/local (or wherever you install the ubuntu.img file - could be your sdcard) - no system files are changed.

I think there was an issue with the Full V1 file. The dev re-uploaded today so you might try it again. However, the default Unity interface on Full does not seem to work on the Prime for whatever reason (Tegra 3 differences it has been said) so it might not be worth the effort until that is fixed. Firefox also does not work (I have never got Firefox of Chrome to work on any of these builds)
The older Ubuntu version (10.10 was it?) works fine, except Firefox just crashes, and Midori is the only currently working browser

Your kernel needs to support the loop device which is the way that the ubuntu.img file gets "mounted" on the system. I dont recall if the stock kernel supports this but I would be surprised if it doesn't
Stock kernel apparently has the loop device, as I have been able to run Ubuntu on stock (rooted of course).
Thanks for info on new upload of 12.04 full. Didnt you say you installed Xfce and 12.04 worked well?

Yes, Xfce I find works well. Just did not know how much effort you might be willing to put into it
Bit of advice - don't use "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" to change to Xfce. That wants to install a ton of stuff that is not needed. Just try installing the the meta package "xfce4" and then add the other bits you want. I then removed the Unity desktop and it booted straight in to Xfce.
Edit: Actually, in this 12.04 image doing "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" does not appear to be as bad. A previous image wanted to download 750Mb of stuff!
Edit2: Oh, and to get xfce loading instead of Unity, you need to edit /root/.vnx/xstartup and change the last line:
/etc/X11/Xsession
to be
startxfce4
..then restart the linux chroot by typing exit

Great info I have the 10.10 full image up and running and Firefox does seem to be working fine for me "out of the box". Think I'm going to try the 12 image and Xfce next.
Anyone have any optimization tips and tricks to get this running as fast as possible? I'm trying the Jump VNC client, seems pretty nice, just need to get some kind of gesture to hide the tablets nav bar as it covers the screen.
Hey Barryflanagan, I'm playing with Zac's images and I am wondering if you got ubuntu to read any external storage media plugged into the dock : like sdcard or usb external drive. I don't know if it's because of the dock proper, or ubuntu, or chroot, but I got the prime on ubuntu to read microsd on the prime proper but nothing routing through the dock..
As to why I'd want both linux and android, most of the time I'm fine with android, sometimes with the dock sometimes without. I don't have a laptop anymore and 2 weeks ago I happened to get to my first need that android couldn't handle: I have to trim and clean 10 000+ files of music library with many copies and variations by file names, lengths, quality, and tags, and to pick the good tracks manually, and nothing on the android's ecosystem is as good or useful as mediamonkey. I've had to borrow a laptop from somebody to get the job done. I'm pretty sure in linux I could have found a working application-- if the usb hard drive for those 70gigs could have been recognized through the dock. Anyway -- also, some more intensive work like the occasional flyer or poster I design for friends.
By the way, have anyone tried to get Wine working on the chroot ubuntu? Maybe with kernel overclocked to 1.8 it might work?

I'm confused as to what you're asking. Technically, Ubuntu is running offline. You're only connecting to the GUI over VNC. You do not need internet.

I'm confused as to what you're asking. Technically, Ubuntu is running offline. You're only connecting to the GUI over VNC. You do not need internet.

Ah, I see. But what use has ubuntu without the GUI? I'm obviously new to this, but I assumed that you could use the ubuntu OS offline. Like open and use programs like open office. How would you be using ubuntu if you were at a place without internet?
Hi all,
this may be a silly question, and i apologise if its already been asked....
so on my Windows 7 laptop, i want to run some old programs...i use the Windows XP virtual machine feature....
is there an equivalent app for ANDROID that i can install on my HDX8.9 that would effectively allow me to run a stock rom 'inside' the virtual machine?
...and obviously get full play access ....or there would be little point.
obivously there would most likely be performance issues etc. and you are running and O/S within an O/S which some may find confusing or cumbersome.
just a thought....anyone know?

Safestrap I believe. 13.3.1 or 14. You have your original OS and then allow you to create another Android OS(kinda).
I think I missed the whole idea you were getting at...

There is a way to mount linux in a rooted device- without actually installing it. Oracle might have worked around that- but the problem with a virtual machine is they are not actually installed. Something as easy to run as android could work- but seriously, that could work.

Your only option is an emulator, since windows runs on x86 and kindle has arm. Snapdragon 800 might be powerfull enough to emulate a windows xp, but be prepaired for serious perfomance issues. You should use the oldest version of windows that your software runs on. But for native android apps use 1mobile market.
Thanks all for the responses....just to clarify, what I was trying to ask is is there an app for android like the Virtual PC app on Windows that runs Android.....so I would be running a sandboxed android on android lol, kinda hoping for an alternative solution to the current root crisis....I.e. I have no root and its really frustrating that the awesome hardware in my HDX is crippled by not being able to access the play store....never mind the fact I can't load additional keyboards or wallpapers etc.

I'm sure you could run it in chroot, you'd have to create a bash script to boot it

Hi guys,
I had the idea to fully replace my Android OS with Debian.
I'm using Debian at home all day and wouldn't use anything else
Well is it possible to use functions on the phone (like Dialing Numbers / contacts / whatsapp) via debian?
Then I would install it on my Z2. I mean it got 3GB of RAM (more then Debian needs to run) and yeah ^^
I also took a look at https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile
Debian can run on 600MB, i run a debian based OS on my server
(server idles around 400ish)
Lets see if someone wants to pick this up
It'd be nice to have something like so on our device

Well yeah Debian is also able to get controlled via Touch so I may gonna try this out tomorrow.
I run debian desktop via Linux Deploy and access the UI via vnc
That'd be nice to hear how this goes

Same here, but with Kali Linux. I use it for stealing passwords on-the go I couldn't make it run through the framebuffer. If someone figures it out, it would be amazing!
P.S. Setting it up is a real pain. A VNC client on the PC wit mouse and kb is a lot easier than touch screen(for typing in the terminal)

I use RealVNC both on my laptop and my phone, for desktop it is just a simple exe that requires no install where as phone its a fairly simple app
localhost on my phone and my internal network ip on my laptop unless im not at home then i just use localhost from my phone.
i mostly use debain desktop just for random stuff aka accessing desktop pages or using a desktop OS torrent manager or downloading files through a webbrowser
