PLEASE READ FIRST
This post will have info on the chroot method. To find out info on running Ubuntu natively on the Adam, click this link for post #2 below. Enjoy
chroot Method:
chroot Ubuntu on Adam Beta1...
For now project files for chroot method will be located at this Google Code Project site. Files will be posted shortly, stay tuned.
DO NOT attempt this yet until specified as alpha or beta or otherwise stated as ready for testing!!
Liability:
I'm not responsible for what you do with your device, this is a guide or tutorial for general purposes only.
If you do not have a strong understanding of rooting and how to recover a device from scratch DO NOT attempt this until we are our of beta stages. Wait till you see RC status at least.
Verified working with bugs
Directions:
I'm not sure what file format is needed on the SD card, so make sure it has the stock file format from Android.
Make sure you are rooted using the methods listed here or Notion Ink Hacks Forum.
Download necessary files:
- Main scripts: Download from Google Code Project webpage. http://code.google.com/p/chroot-ubuntu-ni-adam-tablet/
- Ubuntu.img file: Download from MegaUpload. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3ZQTCUUN
Create a folder on root of your Adam SD card called "ubuntu" and download the files from the Google Code Project site to this folder.
Unzip "ubuntu.img.zip" package and copy or move "ubuntu.img" file to the ubuntu folder you created above. Delete all the rest of the files. Do this to make sure you do not confuse the scripts I've put together for the Adam.
Plug Adam into your computer and make sure you have a connection to it.
Android SDK installed on a local computer with ADB functioning.
Make sure you do not have the SD card mounted on your computer. Also make sure USB Debugging is turned on, which I think you need for ADB.
Change the name of "bootubuntu[x].[x]" to just "bootubuntu"! DO NOT use the original "bootubuntu" file.
If you haven't already open a command prompt and type:
Code:
adb shell
Enter superuser mode:
Code:
su
Change directory to the "ubuntu" folder:
Code:
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
Run the setup script (You should only have to run this once or whenever new updates to the files are released):
Code:
sh ./ubuntu.sh
Once the script finished you should be good to go, type the following to run Ubuntu:
Code:
bootubuntu
If you see something like the following below, job well done!
Code:

Troubleshooting:
If you get any errors, please FIRST, try rebooting Adam and start back at "adb shell" step 7 and try again.
More to come
If you get any errors, please post at what step number you got an error and post as much detailed info as you can about the error. Myself and others will do what we can to help.

More to come, holding this place for future use...
No problem for testing it ... but not before the end of next week
My Adam will be send on 31st of January
There is nothing to test yet. Not until more research is done and files gathered. Not to mention we still need full root and unlock first.
Do not attempt to run the files in that link.

For Rooting Adam it seems that it's done ?
And Don't worry i will not try to use fill that wasn't for Adam.
If you need help ... to search, test ... I will be part of ;o)
Thanks Gkar! Just be sure to follow this thread as any updates will appear here.
Also, root methods have been started but there are bugs. We need Adam users to help with that process first before helping here. Once that process works consistently I plan to get started on this.

Pfffff ... I've just seen on pre-order page that my date has been pulled to 14th feb 2011 and then i will have to wait to test !!
Ubuntu netbook edition
Btw, I am sure you have seen this, but Ubuntu does have a Netbook Edition. It brings all the advantages of Ubuntu to a netbook – using Unity, an innovative user interface super-optimised for smaller screens and also convenient for touch screens.
So, this may be the best version to port to Adam if we can get it going. I unfortunately have no development knowledge to know if it is possible.
Mmmmmh .... i'm using Netbook edition on EEE 901 for my kids but unity isn't mature.
I prefer old version of Netbook edition (10.04 LTS) ... and that's the version used to create Ubuntu Distro for HD2.
Maybe we can ask them for some help.
I'm interested on this too. For the record, I'm keen to get an Adam and wipe Eden, replacing it with Ubuntu. I think Ubuntu 11.04 will be an awesome distro to run on a tablet, and currently Notion Ink's Adam is the only one being made that meets the stats I'd like to see.
The current hacks that exist to get Ubuntu running on the Nexus One (have done that) require running a modified server version from the sdcard, the using VNC to run a virtual session. Has it's plusses (running within Android, for instance), but I'm keen to see Ubuntu running natively. Android isn't mature enough to be a main system yet, whilst Ubuntu is. Cheers.
hope a port is cooming soon
Yeah, I'm very eager to try this too
Maybe a dual boot with Android ?
Looking forward to it
Thanks for your patience everyone. I've been swamped. This weekend I plan to hunt down some files, look at the scripts, and hopefully we can start trying this shortly!
This is one of the main reasons I have been waiting for the Adam for so long. Hopefully we can dual boot Ubuntu as that is what I would prefer, but if not, oh well. I want to have a tablet that acts more like a computer then a glorified smartphone without phone capabilities... Can't wait to see the development of this!

Dual booting is always preferred yes, but that is not what my method will do. This method will be a bootloader running on top of Android. For many reasons this will be easiest for now.
I'm very excited about this, can't wait to have my Adam and following the developent of ubuntu.
I really think, on another hand, that Android and Ubuntu are majors players in the open-source OS and should therefore communicate better.
I want Adam to be the best friend of my Ubuntu desktop. There are so many possible ways to make these OS interact, at least the way iOS talk to Mac OS X.
i can't wait for my Adam to be here to write apps in this direction!
I love that idea as well. Would be cool if there was a way to integrate Ubuntu netbook edition and Android.

Ubuntu netbook edition and the desktop version are now the same thing with the upcoming release. Actually, the whole UI of Ubuntu is getting a major overhaul to be touch centric. Currently, my nexus one running cyanogenmod DOES talk to my Ubuntu netbook. And server. Very well in fact. Tomdroid for notes reads all off my desktop tomboy notes, and Funambol, with syncevolution syncs my calendar and address book.
Have just ordered an Adam with a friend, and plan to hack it extensively until Ubuntu is running in full, natively, as it's primary operating system. Android is useful, but doesn't have the functionality of Ubuntu. Would be useful having android as a secondary system, or within Ubuntu, but I won't hold my breathe.
I agree though, the first step seems to be getting Ubuntu running within android. I'm starting to research how the bootloader needs to be hacked to recognise a usb or dvd drive to boot from, and how it would "see" ubuntu installed on one of the internal drives. Will post back with more info soon, even though this is further down the track.

I ordered my Adam Once I saw it figure in XDA forum. My experience with XDA especially with SGS phone has been immensely satisfying. The way Things are going I am sure Adam will be an object of envy before long.
Hey guys, Im sure this is on here, I just cant seem to find it. Im running HC v4 on a SD card and when I try to ADB into it to install the market ADB doesnt see the device. I have usb debugging turned on, and ADB worked on my stock rom. Any suggestions?
Search for the nook color usb drivers on google. That worked for me at the following thread here on XDA: "[SCRIPT] Nook Color USB Drivers and ADB Setup (WinXP&7)"
I just worked through this the other day in my honeycomb .03 rooted nook. Follow the detailed directions on nookdevs (search "nookdevs: nook usb drivers"). Make sure you are admin on a windows PC while you do this. One other detail is to make sure to install the honeycomb labeled items in the SDK tool. You may not need them but they are in there so you might as well.
Are drivers always the cluprit?
I've been having similar problems with ADB not seeing my Nook. I did root it (Autonooter 3.0) and verified that USB Debugging shows to be on...and then downloaded the ADB set I found on XDA-Dev that had the full zip (adb and all) and another with just the USB drivers. But issuing the ADB command to list the devices found it still shows nothing in the list.
Are the right Nook USB drivers always the problem, since that seems to be the one thing everyone suggests trying/changing?
My ADB install never did try to use Windows Update to search for drivers (which we were warned about), and just to be safe I reran the second file to reinstall just the drivers. But at this point I'm at a loss what to try. So if it's invariably a problem with the USB drivers, well, I'm looking for pointers on a next step.
Thanks,
JTT
I am having this issue too, but USB drivers for Windows can't possibly apply as I'm running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
I'm guessing it has something to do with the version of ADB I'm running but I just did a fresh install of the SDK release 10, so I doubt that that is it too unless there is a particular ADB I need for Honeycomb?
Any help would be appreciated.
Guys try the same over wifi. Linky
try going into cwm recovery, go to "mounts and backups", and click the first option "mount system". then plug in the NC and, in a command prompt on the computer/laptop, kill the server, restart the server and look for devices again. also, make sure no other adb devices are connected to your computer/laptop (i.e. your phone)
i followed the directions on nook devs (mentioned above by bike4food) and all was like it said it should be by the end. unfortunately, the laptop still wasn't recognizing my NC. when i mounted the system like i described above, it recognized it.
good luck!
Been at it for 2h now and i just can't seem to make it work, ive installed the latest nookie froyo on the internal memory of my nook and i just can't seem to get the market on it, i tried with a guide from http://forum.androidcentral.com/bar...ion-install-nookie-froyo-internal-memory.html
But everytime i try the adb commands i get a device not found error and i can't seem to fix this problem, i have tried to install the nook usb drivers but i still get the same error, is there any easier or other way of getting it?
Thanks
Kris
Anybody?? A tablet with no market and no youtube makes it kind of useless....

Yo. nookdevs dot com ADB_Over_USB
This is my second post of eight minimum. Won't let me paste a hyperlink.
Also, scan the developement section and look for some of the market zip files for Froyo.
Once you get on the market, download ADB wireless. I find it better than ADB over USB.
NookDevs also has very good tips for Froyo and where to download what.
For some reason when you simply install JUST the install.exe it doesn't work (well it didn't for me atleast) I had to also run the DPInst64.exe since I am on Windows 7 64-Bit OS. After runing the DPInst64.exe and letting it install I was able to use ADB over USB.
If you are running a 32-Bit OS DO NOT run the DPInst64.exe - Use the DPInst.exe instead.
I had MAJOR issue getting ADB to work.
All my info came from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008
You really need to read and re-read this and make sure you follow the exact instructions and it will work.
The problem that caused me some issues was the USB Debugging check mark was not on. But that was a problem with Auto-Nooter 3.0, you are using Froyo.
I can confirm that once the ADB drivers are installed with Auto-Nooter, they will automatically be okay when you are in Froyo (which I am now). I did not have to redo anything.
I spent several hours uninstalling/reinstalling devices and usb ports, etc in Windows Device Manager. Both on Vista 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. They all work fine now simply by following that thread.
So I'm trying to get a better understanding of the things I am reading here and on other Android websites. I keep reading about ADB - which I've gathered stands for Android Development Bridge. I did a search on this site and found the "easy ABD tutorial" that actually confused me even more. So my question is, could someone please explain to me in laymans terms what exactly is ABD? I've successfully rooted my D3 and created a nandroid and would l iike to try the Steel Droid Rom however, it talks about using ADB to push the BlurEmail.apk to system/app/.
I think I've successfully installed the Android SDK but I have no clue as to how to install the ABD "drivers" that are referenced in the the following post: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/
Is there a difference between the SDK application and ADB or are they part of the same thing?
Is there a way to verify if I have the ADB drivers/application/whatever that I need so that I can push the BlurEmail.apk to the system/app/ file location?
As always, thanks to those that provide a response to this thread.
QUESTION: Can someone please explain in simple form how to fix the ADB unauthorized issue that has been present since the update to M? The option for removing any current rsa keys is gone from the developer settings. And when you plug your phone in to a new computer it used to pop up a notification that would let you accept the rsa key. None of this is working any more. I cant believe that it is not a bigger issue and I have spent a few hours over a few days looking for a solution so if I have missed it, I am sorry. I have read a few things that say that google has just removed the ability to use adb and one post even explaining that, what looked to me to be a prop file variable, needed to be changed from 0 to 1, or vise versa, but didnt explain where the variable was. I dont see anything that I am confident with in the build.prop. Thanks. Please explain so that anyone will be able to overcome this issue, or point to a link.
Are you talking about the option to "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" under Developer options? It's there, at least on my N6 running stock 6.0.1 MMB29V... And I just tried to ADB to my device and the popup for the authorisation came up on the phone, just as it should.
I think you have some other problem going on.
Are you running the latest adb/fastboot tools on your PC?
Article showing removal of ADB

Yes I am, I always use the one directly from the 'platform-tools' directory in the SDK. Another thing is I have read multiple articles that actually state that Google has removed the adb functionality in marshmallow... I don't get it. I even went from stock G.E. to CM an its exact same problem. Not to mention now I am dealing bwith the fact that the nethunter kernel isn't compatible with the CM build for Nexus... What!? Anyone can enlighten me on that subject I would love to know that as well... LoL. Here is link to one of the ADB articles though.
Tekto-kodi.com/kodi-news/marshmallow-android-6-removes-adb/
I looked at your link and the links provided in that article. The only thing I can read from those is that the ability to run ADB from your phone, i.e. from the terminal emulator (not your PC) has been removed. Are you trying to run ADB from your phone or your PC (I was under the impression that you're using your PC, but I have to ask)?
As I stated before, ADB from my PC to my N6 works just fine with Marshmallow (6.0.1 MMB29V).
You say that you use ADB directly from "platform-tools", but you don't say if you've updated the tools from the SDK-manager.
