We have ubuntu booting off the SD... let me find the thread. Not sure if this is helpful or not >.>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892877
This isn't exactly what I am looking for as it runs through a frame buffer on VNC.
Long time ago I read that MeeGo could run on Nexus One natively, it came with a detailed how-to tutorial as well.
I just found its link:
http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD
I wonder if there is a way to run Ubuntu natively on Nexus One similarly based on the tutorial above...
yes ubuntu can run natively on n1, i remember there was a thread in beginning of nexus one development

They've done it on the Droid already. My question is, is this possible with our locked bootloaders?
If this post should be moved to General Discussion then please move it and sorry for the inconvenience.
Ubuntu boots on the Droid? Interesting. Care to link me to that achievement?

There is a Youtube clip:
There is a chroot method to install Debian LXDE on the Milestone here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...debian-chroot-mit-lxde-auf-dem-milestone.html
I've not tried it yet, but did not see something wrong for the Milestone. Look at this tuto.

Hi!!
I Actually run Debian on my Milestone thanks to tuto above. But I want Ubuntu. Somebody knows ubuntu arm repositories urls in order to create a .img file like the tuto said?.
Thanks!!
Why not run Ubuntu x86 inside a QEMU version for Android?
I realize this is a necropost, but I think it makes more sense than starting a new topic.
Neither of the suggested tutorials help because the Milestone kernel doesn't support loop devices. Is there another way to get Ubuntu running?
You need ROM with kernel with support loop devices. Older versions of MIUI (2.1.20 for example) support that. Try to find Ubuntu installer in Android Mrket / Play Store
I don't think any version of MIUI (or any other ROM) would have support for loop devices considering the fact that the Milestone's kernel cannot be swapped. Thanks for the reply though.
Since we have the ability to install the full ARM-based distribution of Ubuntu Linux (in a "chroot", similar concept to a Virtual Machine), I think we may have the ability to install MetaSploit on the Galaxy Tab.
Can anyone provide any pointers on how to get started with this kind of effort? The instructions to install full Ubuntu Linux in a chroot are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836022&page=4
From within this Ubuntu Linux environment we can "apt-get install" just about anything from the ARM-architecture based Ubuntu Linux repositories using the Terminal Emulator. This means we could probably "apt-get install" most of the MetaSploit components, if they are available in ARM-architecture form.
Any thoughts on this are much welcomed. Thank you.
This should be no problem, it has been done on other devices, for pieces that are not already in package form you'll have to find and compile source....a good hint for the packages you'll want to look for a guide on how to install it on a Nokia N900
What has this got to do with Android development??
This should be in Genera section.
hey dude, i've been looking to port this for awhile without success, i can't understand how the guys at rapid7 did the port for IOS and not for Android... I've read that the key is to get ruby working on Android so far there is jruby i believe that isn't fully functional yet...
I heart your name atheist

I found a link to an article which seems to explain how to do this...
http://r00tsec.blogspot.com/2011/05/metasploit-on-android-htc-desire-hd.html
We should try this on the Tab.
Update:
I got MetaSploit working on the Tab! I needed to follow the instructions mostly from http://r00tsec.blogspot.com/2011/05/metasploit-on-android-htc-desire-hd.html
I did have to install ruby ("apt-get install ruby" at the command line) and Ruby Gems (search for the exact apt-get name) inside the chroot'd Ubuntu environment though.
I was able to enlarge the 2 GB Ubuntu image to almost 4 GB using the instructions posted on the blog shown above which provided plenty of space to install MetaSploit and other InfoSec tools.
The next goal is to get BackTrack 5 (ARM) running.

Hi all,
Successfully rooted, flashed, and installed jelly bean 4.3 on my kindle fire HD 7 NY following seokhun's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Now wondering of anyone had tried installing Ubuntu on the kfhd. Official Ubuntu touch should be released later this month. Developer preview out now but only officially supports a few Samsung devices.
Might take a gander on how to go about installing the preview later this week. My guess is that there will have to be tweaks made to cm before it'll work properly.
See more here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install
It was ported to the first gen, kf2, and 8.9", I am considering trying to make a mini base like hashcode did for the 7" model, but I need to ask him a few questions probably before I start trying to flash test builds onto my own device.

Ubuntu itself was ported or do you mean chrooted? Or do you mean your working with the developer preview of ubuntu touch? I've seen plenty of people run Ubuntu chrooted but to my knowledge its more similar to a VM on android. I've long suspected that it was possible to boot into the full desktop version of Ubuntu on android systems but haven't seen or heard of it being done. Luckilly an official build of ubuntu for tablets and phones is being released soon.
I meant the Ubuntu touch preview, we already can test it out on the other kindles but we have to use an older version of the preview because of a bug the came into play when they went to a flipped os until hashcode fixes it.

Wow, great news.
Is there anywhere I can follow progress of successful ports?
Just look at the threads in the android development sections for the kindles, there is no 7" android minibase available, but if I'm not busy I might give a shot at making one, not too sure if the kernel will compile smoothly on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but eh I'll maybe give it a shot sometime next week. Hard part is I have no idea about the initial stuff that runs as I'm more of a Linux pc person than a android person( even though Linux is at the base of android and Ubuntu touch.)

Thabks & will do. Actually just found hashcodes thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168221 and the Ubuntu device wiki here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices if anyone is interested.
Good look if you attempt to modify and build the base code yourself. Keep us updated!
Hi guys.
A few days ago, I've started the porting of Ubuntu Touch for Nexus 5 (hammerhead).
Changelog:
Spoiler
*** 4/1/2013 - 17:57 ***
Solved kernel problems. Now there are complications in the ROM. The system does not start despite loads all the drivers. He stands on the bootanimation with frame drops and brightness that goes from low to maximum. Adb works. MTP drivers are detected but not loading.
*** 2/1/2013 - 18:53 ***
Kernel need some changes, in cyanogenmod_hammerhead_defconfig first:
Code:
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y
CONFIG_SWAP=y
# CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is not set
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
and AppArmor second.

Ubuntu touch has the official support for only Nexus 4 right?
In the wiki they have mentioned as other nexus devices should work *theoretically*
Can you post a logcat or dmesg while the system is booting?

Theoretically! It not boot because I have some trouble to repack kernel and create android-ramdisk.img for hammerhead. If you have some ideas for that, you are welcome.

I cannot reply you because I'm working for now only on Ubuntu Touch and Android. When Touch work perfectly, I'll work on FirefoxOS.

Thanks OP! Go ahead and good luck with your porting and development. We will then have some more choice on using OS for our Nexus 5.

Holy crap! I'm totally watching the progress of this project! I'll gladly help alpha/beta test! Eagerly awaiting a download and install tutorial!
Also, I totally recommend heading on over to the #ubuntu-touch iRC channel if you're having any issues or experiencing roadblocks, as you seem to be at the moment. I'm not a developer. I'm just a mere enthusiast... but I'll do what I can to help make this UT ROM the best it can be. My hope would be that Cannonical themselves will bring out/release something at/before CES this year... but OP if you can add something into your version that the official one won't have, then that'd be awesome... like maybe KDE Plasma Active for the UI instead of Unity... I can dream right?
Update:
Completed kernel parts. Miss AppArmor. After the repack of the kernel, if Ubuntu boot, I'll work on AppArmor. If you have suggestions, you're welcome.

Can not wait for first alpha
Watching this project closely. With the specs of N5 and if this pulls off it would be a pretty amazing (read: fast) Ubuntu port to N5.
EDIT: if you need a tester I could help, just not with the coding stuff xD
Update 2
Update:
Kernel problems solved. Now there are complications in the ROM. The system doesn't start despite loads all the drivers. He stands on the bootanimation with frame drops and brightness that goes from low to maximum.
I can be a tester, too.
I'm really looking forward to a funktional Ubuntu touch on my N5...
So.... Good luck...
Greetz, Echse...
Nexus 5 rocks!...
I've never ported a ROM before but would really like to port Ubuntu Touch to my new device.
If anyone can point me in the direction of what to read to begin, I'd greatly appreciate it
Edit 2 add
I've seen ubports runs natively on another tablet with the same\similar soc as in my 9th Gen fire 7 tablet.

"Ubuntu touch" is an o\s for phones and tablets, on arm architecture.
Obviously x86 (x86_64) software will not run

I have tried porting this to my phone before but with no luck(I got a working halium kernel but couldn't get ssh working) . This will probably be easier to Port to a tablet because less going on. Good luck!
Edit: lol, I did not see that you found the ubports guide already.

If this works, please do it for the Fire 7 2017 too. Android is too much for this tablet. I could help a bit too (my knowledge of making ROMs and building them are low though :fingers-crossed
But now I have become distracted by work.
It is still an idea I have in my head, for when I have more time. I've not given up the dream.
For now, the sources for lineage 14.1 are incredibly "work in progress" anyway
