Ubuntu install error - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my SGH-T989 using the Ubuntu Installer app from the market. I'm getting an error and was wondering if anyone can help. I have a screenshot of the error attached. TIA.

Just wondering, do you have busybox installed? I wonder if that might help out with some of the commands being unrecognizable.

Yeah. I thought that may be the problem so I downloaded a busybox installer off of the market and installed the newest version.

You need a kernel with loop device support. Yours doesn't appear to have it based on that screenshot.

Try
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
Make sure you have the sh file and Ubuntu img file in a folder named ubuntu on the root of your SD card
Looks like you trying to mount it to the external SD.
F#*@king auto-correct.

Has anybody installed ubuntu on their sgs2 wondering about installing it how would one go back to android?

I got both Ubuntu and backtrack on my tmo sgs2. Both work.

Ubuntu doesn't install. It runs the img using terminal emulator and the GUI is displayed by the vnc player. Somebody, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh. The instructions said to mount it on an external sd card. I'll try mounting to my internal storage in a bit.
[Update] I got it to work, thanks for the help.

I think it does install, just to a separate partition. Then you "boot up Ubuntu" using a terminal emulator and control it through the vnc client. That should answer ebatr8's question too.

I meant 800x480. I'm not really sure why I put 480x480. 800x480 works awesome. Does audio work for you? I tried playing a YouTube video and there was no audio output.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

No. I haven't figured how to set up audio. Maybe someone here could shed some light. Also was trying to figure out how to right click.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Right clicking depends on what input method you are using. Some of them you tap and hold, some of them you double tap and possibly hold.

I am getting the identical Error the OP is getting. I have the latest BB installed and am going from the internal sd.
Is there a specific kernel or rom i need to be on for this to work?
EDIT: Nevermind, the image file i had was bad..

Need help!!!

Sgs3 easy ums app

I want to know if people are getting this app to work on their phone. Couldn't really find any threads like this. I used to use my old phone in my accord and ums made it simple to show my music on the screen. I tried using this app but it doesn't seem to work in the accord. It's stuck on usb load screen. Has anyone gotten it to work in their cars and if so what model I think it might not work on all cars because it works in my dad's bimmer

Actually it probably has more to do with what you are using it for. I use this app and have never had a problem with it. But I have never used it to connect to my car stereo or anything like that.
Have you tried another version if the app? Maybe connectibg via bluetooth would work better?

Have you looked onto any wireless solutions? I think you have to be rooted for most, but don't quote me on that. I use SwiFTP and love it. There are others on the market as well.

My car doesn't support a2dp the stock stereo is really nice and integrated with the rest of the dashboard so I don't wanna replace it with a new one. It's odd that the app works with my dad's car but not mine. I know it's at least reading it because when it was on mtp it would just say unsupported rather than usb load. Normally that load screen is only there for a second or 2 and starts playing immediately. I'll try another build of the app if not I guess aux cable it is although it's nice to have one cable for charge and music and have it display the song on the screen

Maybe try moving a file to the parent/root directory of the external sd card to see if your car can read that?

How do I do that? You mean the root folder? Isn't that for the internal sd card also I had no luck with usb debugging. The app doesn't even seem to work with it off

Honestly I've tried everything lol someone said that the mtp is still there for the internal storage so the car might be trying to read that and that's why it's not working

One more thing I just remembered! Try removing the MusicFX.apk and .odex. This helped someone else connect to a radio they were having trouble with.
Just remove from /system/app/. Then reboot thMake a backup of them first in case it doesn't help. If it does, flash dsp manager to replace it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Just installed a new rom that already has dsp and no musicfx so I'll see if it works.btw its deodexed not odexed should I odex it there's an app for it with the rom don't really know the difference though
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't until you try as it is. If it doesn't work then try odexing but I doubt it'll have an effect.

I home you mean "a part of" SD partitioned to ext4.
A2sd finds it, claims to try to mount, you restart, and then a2sd again repeats the same finding and mounting....in circle.

EXE file extension only works on PC. It may be a compressed file with the actual book inside it. You could try downloading WinRAR, change the extension to .zip and see if you can open it.
It's most likely encrypted. So, unless they have an Android app, you are out of legally accessible luck.
Then there's the whole DRM argument.

ClockWork Mod Recovery 6.0.2.5 Not Showing Any Backup Files

I just flashed CWM Recovery 6.0.2.5 onto my galaxy nexus. However, I really would like to delete some backups because the space is becoming much too scarce (10MB left!).
I tried to find a "clockworkmod" folder with the backups in my phone's storage space but nothing seems to be there. I have tried for a few weeks to do this and still cannot find any such folder with the backups. I have even tried showing hidden files in the windows explorer but to no avail.
Someone - please, please help! I couldn't do anything in the past few days with such low storage!

What rom....and what apps2sd scripts are you using if any ?
Changes you've made recently have caused this ???
Updates perhaps ???
My thoughts are leaning toward applications that point to downloads being force placed to external storage...
And the default is internal storage..
Something is likely causing a conflict in the mapping before the download starts...
If you are not opposed to testing, you should revert to a known rom setup that worked..
Or if needed...restore the device totally if the issue cannot be found...
Scripts are often hard to track down ...and I think one of them...or at least parts are present that prevent the correct mapping to occur...
Just my thought at 3 a.m.
