Hi. Im using Ubuntu Touch 13.10 pre-installed version on GNex
I don't know when is but ubuntu touch img file included openssh-server
after that ssh server doesn't automatically start
so I always have to type 'service ssh start' manually ( /etc/init.d/ssh start doesn't work )
I have tried update-rc.d ssh defaults, checked /etc/init/ssh.conf, and installed sysv-rc-conf and set run level for ssh
what's wrong? And is there anyway without adding my own script?
Try to put the command in /etc/rc.local. I can't test it because I don't have the device with me.

After installing MoDaCo ROM I found SSH password near the build version so I opened Putty terminal and tried to connect to my Hero's IP but it says connection refused. Should I launch SSD daemon somehow? (I tried to execute sshd in terminal but it was not found)
Thanks.
port 2222?
That's it! I used 22. Thanks a lot.
If you want to install Debian, just follow this step:
1. Download this : megaupload.com/?d=EV1SOKWJ
In the debian folder you should change the installer.sh and bootdeb files by this one
Download them:
installer.sh : mediafire.com/file/6j99zi0g1lu4oxq/ashu11x_installer.rar
Bootdeb : mediafire.com/file/osshm94mo1qhd65/ashu11x_bootdeb.rar
2. After that, copy the debian folder unzipped to the root of your sd-card
3. Than open Terminal and type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/debian
sh installer.sh
bootdeb
cd /scripts/onetime.sh
sh onetime.sh
That's it!

How to Install Ubuntu on Android!
Posted on February 1, 2011 by admin
For those of you who want to install Ubuntu on your Android smartphone or tablet device, here’s our universal guide on how to do it. (This guide is based off my original guide at NexusOneHacks.net)
*Note – This guide should work on most “rooted” Android smartphones/tablets with no further modification.
We will be running Ubuntu “chrooted” under Android OS, which just means that we will be running a “virtual” Ubuntu OS that runs on top of the Android OS. Your Android OS will work fully (e.g. your phone will keep working normally) while the Ubuntu runs on top of it.
First of all, you should have your Android device “rooted” because you need root access to run Ubuntu off your Android.
Second, your Android OS must support loop devices. Most newer Android smartphones/tablets come with this support so we can mount our Ubuntu image as a loop device. If not, you will either have to build your own kernel with support for loop devices or you can try an aftermarket ROM for your phone as most aftermarket ROMs come with support for it.
For example, G2 Phone and Nexus One both come with loop device support so there’s no need for us to compile a new kernel for it but for others, you may have to.
How do you know this? Just try installing Ubuntu and if it doesn’t boot, your Android device needs a kernel with loop device support. Otherwise you are fine.
How to Install Ubuntu on Android! (Windows)
First, download the following Ubuntu.zip file (from a preferred mirror), unzip and copy over the whole ubuntu directory to the SD card of your Android smartphone/tablet device:
Download ubuntu.zip http://downloadandroidroms.com/files/get/Nhi9EJWSw7/ubuntu.zip
(Turn USB storage ON then copy over the Ubuntu folder to the root directory of your SD card.)
(What it looks like after copied over to the SD Card)
1) Again, make sure you have your Android smartphone/tablet “rooted”!
2) You must have Android SDK installed or have access to adb.exe.
3) Make sure your Android phone/tablet is in debugging mode. Go to Settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
4) Connect your Android device to your computer via USB cable and set the USB mode to “Just Charge”.
5) Your Android device should be recognized as “ADB Device” under Device Manager. If not, install appropriate drivers.
For all HTC Android smartphones/tablets (such as G2 Phone, Nexus One), you can download Windows drivers here:
HTC Windows 64-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
HTC Windows 32-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
6) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search programs and files.
7) Browse to your SDK directory where you installed the Android SDK:
8) Then go into platform-tools directory:
9) Type “adb devices” to double-check your Android device is recognized.
In this example, I used an HTC G2 Phone, which shows up at “HT09SR204261″. This is fine. However, if you get an empty device, that means you didn’t install the drivers for your phone/tablet correctly. (Go back to #5)
10) Type “adb shell” to enter the Android shell.
Then type “su” to enter super user mode, then type “cd /sdcard” and “cd ubuntu” to enter the ubuntu directory in your SD card of your Android device.
11) Next, type “sh ubuntu.sh” to run the script which will basically get your Ubuntu image ready to run on your Android smartphone/tablet.
If you get error messages, don’t worry and keep going.
12) Type “bootubuntu” to enter Ubuntu. (Next time you enter Ubuntu, you just need to type “bootubuntu” from your /sdcard/ubuntu directory, no need to run ubuntu.sh again.
If you got “[email protected]” at this point, congratulations! This means your Android OS comes with loop device support and Ubuntu is now running “chrooted” on top of your Android OS!!!
However, if you failed at this point, your Android OS probably doesn’t support loop devices, try installing another ROM or compiling your own kernel with loop device support.
How to Install Programs on your Ubuntu!
Once you’ve got Ubuntu running on your Android device, it’s time to install some Ubuntu packages(or programs).
Type “apt-get update” to update, this is the first thing you will need to do before installing any new programs.
How to Install OpenSSH-server on your Android Ubuntu!
Type “apt-get install openssh-server” to install OpenSSH-server. What is OpenSSH-server? If you want to connect to your Android Ubuntu via an IP address (and SSH into it), you will want to do this.
How to Install TightVNCServer on your Android Ubuntu!
If you want to access the GUI of your Android Ubuntu, you can install TightVNCServer, which allows you to access the Android Ubuntu via Android VNC app on your Android smartphone/tablet or even access it remotely from your desktop computer.
Type “apt-get install tightvncserver” to install.
How to Fix Language Issues
Above is after I connected to my Android Ubuntu via SSH2. Well, for some reason my default language switched to German. To fix that, just type “export LANG=en_US.UTF-8″:
How to Install LXDE!(optional)
Next, we will install LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment). Although we can use Ubuntu’s default GNOME (and trust me I love that), LXDE takes up less memory so our GUI access will be faster.
If you like GNOME, you can skip this step though.
Type “apt-get install lxde”
Next, let’s setup xstartup file so that when TightVNCServer is started, the LXDE runs instead of GNOME:
Type “cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup”
Then type:
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and enter to save the file.
How to Start TightVNCServer!
Next, let’s start the TightVNCServer and connect to it from our Android phone and my Windows 7 desktop:
Type “export USER=root” and “vncserver -geometry 1024×800″.
Here, you can change the resolution settings 1024×800 to the resolution of your liking.
Now your TightVNCServer is ready to accept any incoming connections from your phone or computer. Just point to the correct IP address and use port number 5901 to connect.
On your Android smartphone, just download the free app “Android-VNC-Viewer” and set the IP address to “127.0.0.1″ and port number 5901 to connect.
And you should be able to get into your Ubuntu like this:
You can also use desktop software like TightVNC Viewer and connect to your phone.
Do “ifconfig” to find out what your IP address is in your Android Ubuntu.
In this example, mine was connected to “192.168.1.131″.
Then connect to “192.168.1.131:5901″ on your TightVNC Viewer:
Here’s LXDE running on my desktop off my G2 Phone’s Ubuntu:
Troubleshooting
Ubuntu not running?
Try typing “cp” under Android shell and if you get an error message, it means you need to install Busybox. Install Busybox and try again.
Final Thoughts
As said in the video, there will be a lot of improvements in the speed of Android devices in the near future. This year, there will be a slew of dual-core 1Ghz processor-equipped Android devices being introduced. Which just means our Android Ubuntu will run faster and faster.
What's a good approach for getting a remote shell from Windows? adb shell just doesn't cut it, I tried it from the Win command prompt and from cygwin's mintty and there are all sorts of terminal problems, cursor keys not working, escape sequences not working, vi is a mess, etc.
So what's the proper way to set up a remote shell so that you get close to the Linux experience while connecting from Windows? E.g. sshd and connect via putty, busybox installed, etc. Any recommendations please before I go and try a bunch of things and make a mess? Thanks!

SSH is a good alternative. You can then connect via PUTTY from your Windos machine. There's a small ssh server for embedded system called "dropbear", alto not fully functional (no scp/sftp support), it's easier to install than openssh. If you don't want to install it in the Android OS native, you can always download an app including it, there's a few of them.
Myself I'm using openssh, using my fully GNU Debian environment (see my signature). This solution also enables me to use X-windows for remote access to my Android. But I guess this is overkill for you. But still, very cool.

Thanks! Your link Run a complete GNU/Linux distribution on your Android is pretty cool!
I tried DropBear SSH Server II and SSHDroid and they seem to work well enough for what I need. Next step is to get sftp working which apparently it is possible with DropBear SSH Server II with a bit of manual work.
I'm looking to develop a script to do a few things:
1. Start OpenVPN
2. Wait for connection
3. SSH to a given machine using pubkey
4. Run a command on that machine
I already have OpenVPN installed and working properly. I've tried getting this working with gscript, but there seems to be a few problems:
1. When OpenVPN starts in the terminal, it doesn't release control back to the user, even with an & following the command. Though it's possible it actually does and other commands error out too fast for me to see. I've tried putting the OpenVPN start command in a separate script to call from this script, but it gives a permission denied error, even with root.
2. I cannot for the life of me find an SSH implementation for Android that will work from the command line with pubkey. I have better terminal editor pro installed, but it gives a segmentation fault when running ssh-keygen.
Does anyone know a better way of doing this?

Hi everyone,
since a while i try to set up an WiFi Network with static IP adresses on my Nexus 5 with Multirom and Ubuntu Touch-rtm installed, but it seems i'm a bit dumb. :silly:
i followed the instructions from an website wich url i can't post, because i am an new user and i don't have written 10 posts ...
but nevertheless, all i get after saving the configuration file and reconnecting is an new configuration file - of course without my changes.
So, what did i do wrong?
You could try doing the following before the reboot:
Code:
sudo stop ofono
sudo stop urfkill
sudo stop network-manager
sudo rm /var/lib/urfkill/saved-states
# Your changes to the config file
sudo reboot
(This will, among other things, stop the network connection services in the background, so you cannot run these commands via SSH. You need to use adb for that. )
That's the only idea I have right now. Let's hope that your files won't get overridden again.
thanks for the tip, but that also does not help anything.
meanwhile i think i got something wrong in the config syntax, but i don't know where. I also took the configuration of my Linux Mint pc for comparison, but without success. when i try to reconnect the wlan, a new file will created and the "old"-changed one simply be ignored.
@the_Pan Have you tried simply copying over the file from your PC? Make sure it has the same name on your phone which it also has on your desktop.
Sent from my awesome Ubuntu Touch device using the Forum Browser app
Only copying wouldn't work, my pc is in LAN, but yes i used the same parameters for IPv4 as in this file (except from the IP).
The only idea i got for now, is that something went wrong with the file permissions when i edit the file on pc with the adb shell, but if i take a look with "ls -l" everything seems alright.
EDIT: nope, has nothing to do with editing on pc. it also happens if i edit the file within the terminal directly on the phone.
