I've tested several build before. eg: donut, eclair, tattoo...
I remember that I've had one build (Android 2.1 probably) by which I could use wifi to connect my laptop and access the internet.
BUT only by that build. And after that I've tried several build(also include 1.6 and 2.1), but none of them can find the wifi network of my laptop.
I've searched about this problem. It seems that it's because ad-hoc tethering is not working stablely. And I found an app named "android-wifi-tether", but it looks just used to let the computer share the mobile's connection, not the opposite direction.
(link here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/)
And I still find a complex way. But I think it's not convinient. If you change a computer, u'll have to change the wpa_supplicant.conf file again, bcz the SSID might be different.
(link here: http://www.soligard.com/technology/how-to-connect-htc-hero-to-ad-hoc-wifi-network/)
Is there any patch for this?
==========Update 20100630=========
Finally I GOT IT!!!!!!!
Thx to kallt_kaffe's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700669
With the build RLS6, I can connect my laptop with out modifying the two files.
And I found the tiwlan.ini is almost the same as in the other build, that's odd. BUT it really works!!!!
Thx again kallt_kaffe!!

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if someone knows how to set up my internet on my b7610, I'm currently running the android beta and I can't seem to connect to internet. I know WiFi doesn't work but I can't connect to internet via my provider either.
can someone help?
thanks in advance,
thierrydriessen
Sorry if I don't give you many details but, look for in modaco forum, looking for the model B7610 have an "android -subforum" and there is a post called something like TUTORIAL..
there is a way very clear to install android via phone provider connection (not wifi!!!)
ok. hope you'll find it.
bye.
Well, I installed the latest BETA yesterday and it connected me to the internet (using my prepaid data plan) automaticly without any setup.
I have T-mobile. It may not work with other providers.

Hi all !
After my Native Debian on HTC G1, I try Native Debian on HTC G2.
It's more hard because I don't know why, VT FrameBuffer crash the phone ...
I have compiled new Kernel HTC-DESIRE-Z 2.6.35.10 with my own options to get no crash, but no VT (is it on modul for test later )
I have passed 3 days on my initrd to get booted Debian Natively with SSH acces.
Is everyone interested by developping real Linux directly on Desire Z phones ?
I have an recoDebian.img who able to boot the phone on debootstrapped Debian on the 2nd Partition of SDCard.
Actualy, I can get Leds works (I use it to know where is my phone on boot process), USB Ethernet, whit SSH access.
The BCM4329 is up but no AP detected.
If I insert the fbcon.ko module, I crash the phone.
If anyone what try the first step of a Native Debian on this phone, I can upload mon recoDebian.img with some instructions to get it working.
Regards

Try a different kernel. As in the CM7 one or the TMOUS G2 source. I'm unsure whether or not the DZ source will work.
If you need any help that ain't compiling the kernel (my laptop is a female dog) I'll try. And I don't mean testing. I ain't no noob trying to get early access to this. I want to see this, so I'll try help.
Native debian on G2
Anything new? I am really looking forward for this!!!!
Many many thanks
I'd like to see Meego on G2 one day but perhaps I am asking for too much ;_;
Native debian on G2
I am following !!!!!
cant wait..
Hi!
This sounds quite interesting!
Could you please share the images? I don't have much experience with android internals rather i'm experienced linux user, so boot+ssh access is the perfect starting point for me.
Regards!
Smooth debian linux with and without GUI.
I am not linked in any way to this App or its developer. But I have been searching for an out of the box linux that works on the SGS3. Out of the several I tried this was the only functioning one,
called Linux Deploy (playstore link here).
Its installs a variety of debian distros by loop method and then chrooting in VNC (or SSH). ( i use bVNC)
- may sound complicated but the app does it all . just select what you want to try and how big you want the image file and where you want to place it (internal or external SD). default settings are fine for most except if Gnome and KDE will need increase image to 1.5Gb otherwise fails)
It also gives a variety of GUI, I tried XFCE and KDE
It runs on top of Android so you can still call and receive messages etc.
The only thing I would suggest is that you unmount the loop before killing app or rebooting android. I think it will remain running in memory even if the app is killed.
Linux Deploy 1.2.7
The new Linux Deploy version, programs for automation of installation process and start of GNU/Linux of distribution kits on devices with the Android platform is available. Application creates an image of a disk on a flash card, mounts it and sets there the selected distribution kit of GNU/Linux. Also distribution kit installation directly on the card section is supported.
Applications from new Linux-system are launched in a chroot-surrounding parallely with standard operation of the Android platform. Installation of a distribution kit is carried out on a network from official mirrors on the Internet. For operation to application privileges of the superuser (ROOT) are required. Access to Linux-system is carried out through SSH, VNC or X Window System. The code of the utility is available under the license GPLv3, ready assemblies are placed in the directory Google Play.
Characteristics:
Supported OS: Debian, Ubuntu;
Assembly under architecture of armel and armhf;
Installation type: loop-file, SD card;
Supported file system: ext2, ext4;
Management interface: SSH, VNC, X;
Possibility of use of surroundings of a desktop: XTerm, LXDE, Xfce, GNOME, Unity, KDE;
Supported language: Russian, English.
Main changes in Linux Deploy 1.2.7:
X Window System support (GUI start via the X-server);
Automatic configuration of DNS;
Support of a surrounding of a desktop of Unity;
The error of start of session of GNOME in Ubuntu is corrected.

is this something like ubuntu for linux where the vnc connection(although local) becomes the bottleneck?

linux deploy
hi can i use it on a note2
Very nicely done.
This app works really great!
At the moment I am using "Ubuntu precise" with KDE. Ist works quite well. What do you use ?
I just installed Fedora 18 with Gnome on my Nexus 10 using this app.
I am having trouble to mount the USB flash drive to it ( using an OTG usb adapter)
I don;t know enough about linux to mount the USB drive
when I plug in the drive in android the path is
/storage/sdcard0/usbStorage
This application is awesome. Everything works perfectly. Well, not everything, but I guess that is chroot's fault. Anyway, can I somehow make digitizer work? I am successfully controlling my phone through x2x, although it would be merrier if I could use my phone's digitizer for input. I'd be grateful for any kind of help.
P.S. superdave42, try custom mounting that path in Linux Deploy's settings.
linux deploy to samsung galaxy tab 2 P5100
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P5100BUDLL1
Kernel 3.0.31-1121627
version Build jz054k.p5100BUDMD1
i have installed Linux Deploy by following the steps I was able to install Kali
I proceeded to install kali-full
but 'I still have problems with postgresql 9.1
and the wifi
wireshark with no problem only with airmon-ng does not recognize the wifi
and tells me to install 'iw-3.10.tar.bz2
I downloaded the 'iw-3.10.tar.bz2
I tried to install it in every way possible but nothing some advice
thanks to all
sorry I'm wrong the page post
It's okay. You are posting in the right thread as there's no official thread for this application in the Applications section, or at least I am not aware of it. Anyway, as far as my knowledge reaches, the reason why you can't mess with WiFi in a chrooted Linux installation is mainly because it is running in a chroot jail (feel free to correct me if I am wrong). In order to make Kali Linux (or any other Linux distribution installed through this application) able to manage WiFi state, I think you need to do some mounts that I'm not aware of at the moment, unfortunately.
EDIT: Try typing this command line (credit to Robertozzz for this post, check out the rest of it too) either from adb shell with superuser permissions or by connection to the SSH client run by Linux Deploy:
Code:
mount -o bind /dev /data/local/mnt/dev
Tapatalk seriously needs some text formatting, otherwise I need to type BBCode myself... and an option to preview.
hello nice to see someone using this beautiful app as well! there should be an official thread for this..
I manage to use both vnc uaing bvnc as well and framebuffer method.. vnc got that slight lag especially when scrolling image dense content on chromium, but framebuffer is buttery smooth!
I'm thinking of upgrading this GTN 8000 (I got the same processor as you mate exynos 4 quad 1,4ghz 2gb ram) to something with snapdragon 600 or even better 800.
anyone here with snapdragon 600 got experience with Linux Deploy? how much boost might I get from those beast? :cyclops:
thanks
Android 4.3 Supported
Just an FYI for anyone using this app. It does work in Android 4.3 with Debian. Not sure if it XVNC or Framebuffer work (download of Gnome failed), but I was able to get a chroot and shell to Debian. Looks like the developer himself hosts the downloads for the supported distros (the "MIRROR" variable in prefs), and I'm not totally thrilled about that... Nothing personal, I just like to be careful.
But on that note, the code is Open Source, and available at:
https://github.com/meefik/linuxdeploy
You don't actually need the github download. All of the real work is done with a shell script(s). After installing the app, you can find the workhorse script linuxdeploy in "/data/local/linux/bin" and this handles almost everything. Some pretty nifty code in there, a couple of cool recursion tricks I might use later.
If you're handy with the command line, you can forego the UI after initial setup/distro download.
Code:
<android> % su -
<android> # export MNT_TARGET=/data/local/linux/mnt
<android> # cd /data/local/linux
...To see the settings file
<android> # cat etc/deply.conf
.... To start the distro you already downloaded (Debian)
<android> # bin/linuxdeploy start
... To get into the now-running distro (this can be done from multiple windows in Android Terminal!)
<android> # bin/linuxdeploy shell
.... If the prompt ain't enough, test it out (hostname isn't standard on Android)
debian # hostname
localhost
...
Now, I totally hate that it downloads everything piecemeal after selecting a distro, but it may be that I just have the settings wrong. Not all distros worked for me. I got failures on finding "apt-get" when installing Ubuntu -- probably easy to fix, but I didn't look into it because I was new to chroot. I notice that there are updates in the github from just 3 days ago, so it's actively supported.
I liked his competitor Complete Linux Installer better in Android 4.2, because it's super newb friendly and explains every single step very clearly, and it worked the first time I used it. Unfortunately it failed on my Nexus 7 (2013) / Android 4.3, so I moved to Linux Deploy. Not regretting the change because I've learned a lot, but I hope to see both options on Android 4.3 soon.

I'm having difficulties installing it on a Galaxy S4 I9500. Here's what I get as an output: /data/local/linux/bin/linuxdeploy: line 1411: dd: Permission denied I tried changing the size of the image, but that didn't help either. For what it's worth, I'm running a stock ROM as well as CWM. Also, I read somewhere that Busybox is required, so that's already installed. Could it be because I'm trying to install it on my external SD card, and not my internal memory?
Kali Linux working with "Linux Deploy" app on S4 i9505
I've found this interesting post about Kali Linux working with "Linux Deploy" app on S4 i9505
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400638
Another suggestion I would like to make you is to consider some alternative remote session that would speed up the interface like for example:
- xrdp (much faster than vnc)
- teamviewer or Splashtop for easier access even from another computer/phone in another network. Splashtop video performance and real-time interface is really impressive
With Splashtop you can just have your own Linux PC and connect to it anytime. You could avoid to to install ARM Linux on your mobile...

First of all, awesome app! Takes a lot of the steps out of getting a desktop OS working on our portable computers....
I am asking this here because I dont know where else I can ask it. So if there is a support/discussion forum specifically for the app somewhere my apologies for posting here.
Is there any way to do an install from ISO image? Kali is giving me a "failed getting release" error at the moment no matter how I put the path in (cross checked it on the site, but welcome to suggestions if anyone elses is working).
Thanks in advance.
