I all,
Here is my method for installing E17 svn on ubuntu 10.10 on an android system is the same method for all other images.
Tested on my Galaxy s2.
When you have install your ubuntu installed, update your distribution, then:
copy/paste this repositery (thank you hannes-janetzek for you ppa e17 svn) to your sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list
Install E17 with synaptic.
Now that E17 is installed, open xterm and from the menu click on log out
in the terminal type:
enlightenment_start
And yes e17 work fine, it's more faster than gnome or lxde, and E17 have some
configuration for tablette and smartphone, e17 it's the best
To exit e17 shutdown your session.

Just saw some interest for Fedora install on Nook in another thread to my surprise. I thought I am the only pervert interested.
Anyway this is pretty raw at the moment. You need to know your way around Linux and have a Linux box (naturally).
Just not to disappoint you later on, here's what not working:
Only based on Fedora13 from upstream (F14 work is ongoing by Fedora-Arm team and I am just tracking them).
Wifi (still did not get to look into it)
BT (same)
accelerated graphics
Don't know of any touch-friendly WM, so defaults to Gnome.
Multitouch (disabled in driver at the moment since no userspace support anyway).
backlight control does not work, need to rewrite the kernel driver
Xorg does not know what to do with accelerometer input.
Probably tons of other things I forgot about.
You must be out of your mind if you want to try it on a tablet at this stage. Or just super curious.
You will need a microSD (at least 2G) card that you can dedicate to this.
Instructions:
Get "base" fedora sdcard image: http://nook.handhelds.ru/fedora/fedora-sdcard-v0.1.img.gz
Get base Fedora 13 beta3 rootfs: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2011-May/001271.html
Get kernel modules for the kernel: http://nook.handhelds.ru/fedora/modules-2.6.32.9-fc13.tar.bz2
Unzip the base sdcard image and write it to your sdcard with dd.
run fdisk on the sdcard and add another partition covering the rest of sdcard in addition to the one already there. Write changes
do mkfs.ext4 /dev/yoursdcard2 (basically format the second partition you just created as ext4)
mount the /dev/yoursdcard2 somewhere as root (/mnt/somewhere later on)
untar the F13-beta3 rootfs to the /mnt/somewhere
Now you are almost ready, just need to fill some configs.
Edit /mnt/somewhere/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-usb0 and add this there:
Code:
DEVICE=usb0
#BOOTPROTO=dhcp
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
IPADDR=192.168.2.2
NETMASK=192.168.2.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
ONBOOT=yes
Edit /mnt/somewhere/etc/resolv.conf and change "nameserver" there to 8.8.8.8
Add multitouch config in /mnt/somewhere/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/touchscreen.conf
Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchscreen"
MatchIsTouchScreen "on"
MatchProduct "cyttsp-i2c"
Driver "mtev"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "On"
Option "SwapAxes" "true"
Option "InvertY" "true"
EndSection
cd /mnt/somewhere/lib/modules and untar the modules file there.
umount /mnt/somewhere
Ok, now you are ready to do some stuff on the nook.
Insert your sdcard into the nook and boot it. You'll see Fedora text console. The installation is pretty basic.
Plug the nook into your Linux PC usb port. It should see a new network device
On the linux PC as root execute: ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Enable ip forwarding on your host if you have it disabled (typically in /etc/sysctl.conf, the setting is ...ip_forward, make it =1. Run sysctl -p for the changes to make effect.
Enable internet access to internet for your nook via IP masquerading: iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.2 -j MASQUERADE ; iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.2.2 -j ACCEPT ; iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.2.2 -j ACCEPT
Now use ssh to login to your Nook: slogin [email protected] the root password is "fedoraarm" (no quotes)
Once logged into the nook, time to install some packages.
rpm -Uvh http://hongkong.proximity.on.ca/yum/base/12/arm/fake-kernel-provides-1.0.0-0.fc12.armv5tel.rpm
update the system: yum update ; yum install tar openssh-clients
Install the gnome environment: yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop Environment' --skip-broken
The gnome installation will take a while and will download everything from the net.
Now install the multitouch Xorg driver, get it at http://nook.handhelds.ru./fedora/xf86-input-mtev-0.1.12-1.armv5tel.rpm
Ok. Now you are ready to go. Run "startx &" and the Gnome will start on the nook. You can play with it a bit, use your finger as the mouse pointer.
You can add startx & at the end of e.g. /etc/init.d/rc.local to make it start on system startup or you can do it in a more pretty way.
There are some virtual keyboards in the repo. I tried gko and it sucks.
the "onboard" seems to be the one working best for me. "xvkbd" is a bit hard to operate.
The best one of them all is fvkbd, but it needs libfakekey missing from the repo, grab it at http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/p...3/armv5tel/libfakekey-0.1-6.fc13.armv5tel.rpm
Enjoy.
Fedora-arm homepage: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
I intend to include all the missing pieces into the fedora repo so that you don't need to install all those extra things. Also eventually I plan to add more hardware support and then hopefully migrate to a much newer kernel.
Ha, cool. Glad to see that not everyone thinks that only Ubootoo should be thrown on devices. I'll give this a twiddle for fun.
13 had Moblin, I wonder if that's any better for touch input..
Now i don't feel near as silly for working on my gentoo install for the nook!
Nice, I am still waiting on OpenSuSe
Why not try using Gnome 3? I just poked around in Fedora 15 today and saw the new UI, and I loved it. Bigger buttons, launcher dock, etc. Give it a look!

Fedora15 is not available for arm arch yet. But there is some work in that direction. So sure, once it's available I'd give it a try.
Great stuff here. I knows its early development, but fun none the less to see what our nooks can do.
And thanks verygreen for all your developments lately

No "gnome-shell" package in Fedora-arm repo at this moment,
Quite excited to see some work in bringing Fedora to the Nook Color! I <3 Fedora.
I just wish ARM had the same support as the full Fedora. Or that they would skip releases for Fedora ARM and go yearly... aka, skip to 15 next, then 17.
Could this be used to help port Ubuntu Touch?

No, Ubuntu Touch is based on CM and has very little in common with a full Linux port.

Hey XDA!
For those of us that use Arch linux, compiling Android projects can be a little more challenging than on Ubuntu due to the fact the Arch is a rolling release distro. To solve this, I made a tool that allows YOU to choose whether you want to run Arch or Ubuntu in the command line without dual booting. This isn't anything new, just a simplified implementation of an existing method.
What it does:
When you open a terminal, you will be prompted with "Would you like to connect to Arch linux or Ubuntu?". You can enter A for Arch or U for Ubuntu. If you choose Arch, you will be put into your stock environment, but your bash prompt will look like
Code:
[[COLOR="red"]user[/COLOR]@[COLOR="cyan"]Arch[/COLOR] ~]:
If you choose Ubuntu, you will be entered into your Ubuntu chroot, and your bash prompt will look like
Code:
[[COLOR="red"]user[/COLOR]@[COLOR="magenta"]Ubuntu[/COLOR] ~]:
DISCLAIMER
Because Arch linux is aimed at enthusiast and experienced linux users, replies about simple or lack-of-experience issues will not be given priority. Use the following with caution.
How to setup an Ubuntu chroot:
1. Install schroot and debootstrap
2. Follow the steps given here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100039, or run create-chroot.sh in the OSConnect git repo.
How to install OSConnect:
1. Clone https://github.com/frap129/OSConnect
2. Run the given install.sh
3. If you use terminal mostly locally, respond "Local" to the prompt. If you mostly connect via ssh, respond "SSH" to the prompt.
4. If you connect via SSH, connect as root from now on, not your user. OSConnect will switch to your user for you.
Done! Restart to use.

How it works:
Ubuntu chroot:
This work by downloading the Ubuntu system files to /var/chroot/ubuntu. The schroot tool then executes bash from ubuntu, and tricks the system into believing that /var/chroot/ubuntu is actually the system root directory.
OSConnect:
OSConnect is contained in its own file, .osconnectrc. This file is executed when shell is reached via your .bashrc. The .osconnectrc is a bash script that asks what operating system you would like to use, then either dumps you into normal shell, or starts the Ubuntu chroot. It also modifies the PS1 (bash prompt) to look cleaner and better distinguish between Arch and Ubuntu.
What is the difference between local and ssh?
The only difference between the local and ssh versions is whether or not youre prompted for your password (when chroot is started) because schroot must be run as root. On the local version, you are simply prompted for your password when necessary. On the ssh version, you are expected to connect as root, and therefore will not be prompted for your password.
HALP I CANT LOG IN AS ROOT
If you are having trouble connecting via SSH as root, follow https://askubuntu.com/questions/511833/cant-ssh-in-as-root

Ubuntu 20.04 sees phone with Linux adb v28 using 'adb devices'.
I've installed the usb driver for my Blackview A80 phone in VirtualBox Windows 10 VM. However, VirtualBox Windows 10 VM fails to see my phone with adb (v1.0.32 & 1.0.39). I'd like to download adb.exe v1.0.40 (as that's the requirement to run B4A Windows app under Wine in Ubuntu.). But I can't find that version anywhere. Has anyone got adb.exe v1.0.40?
I've followed the instructions on
http://adbcommand.com/articles/How to build adb(1.0.40) for windows on Ubuntu but I get 'fatal: cannot make .repo directory: Permission denied' on the step
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest. I know nothing about repo. Anybody have any ideas about this repo problem?

have you tried using chocolatey on the windows VM, to see if their adb source works for you?
you would need chocolately preinstalled, this thread would explain better.
How To Use Chocolatey
========================= ============================================ HOW TO USE CHOCOLATEY ============== ============= Hi Friends~! This amazing package manager changed my Windoz life
forum.xda-developers.com
after you have chocolatey installed, you would run this command:
choco install adb
essentially, it will dl the latest adb, and wrap all it's variables with the correct permissions, even in a vm. I'm not sure if this will help you, but just wanted to put it out there~!
Have a good day~!

The specified link does not AFAIK give instructions on how to install chocolately.
Oh It Does~! As well As a VM demonstration on how to install on an unlisted YT vid. But Okay~! Just trying to help ;-)
The link you supplied with its links to "How to install chocolately" sends me to an advertising site.

Installing Ubuntu With a GUI + WSL2 Upgrade - Windows Subsystem For Linux + Premade Ubuntu Virtual Machines (and more!)
Hello Friends~! I decided to write out a step by step guide to install WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux, with an Ubuntu Distro, and integrated GUI using Xserver. As well as how to update WSL to WSL2. Open Powershell as Admin, then paste: wsl...
forum.xda-developers.com
Here you go!
Open the Microsoft Store on your Windows machine.
Search for "WSL" or "Windows Subsystem for Linux" in the search bar.
Choose a Linux distribution that you want to install (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, or Fedora). Click on it to open the distribution's page.
On the distribution's page, click the "Install" button to start the installation process. It might take a few minutes to download and install the Linux distribution.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch the Linux distribution from the Start menu or by searching for the distribution's name. The first launch may take a bit longer as it sets up the necessary files.
Follow the prompts to set up a username and password for your Linux distribution.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WSL on your Windows machine. You can now use a Linux environment directly within Windows.
