i have been researching this for a couple days; has anyone succesfully configured debian on 1.6 donut?from what ive gathered there are known issues with debian and 1.6. i keep going in circles trying to figure this out. i have used this site(and many others) in my research:
http://www.myhangoutonline.com/2009/11/22/install-linux-on-your-g1/
i keep getting lots of errors about line not found and debian goes into reboot cycles
TY
Check the link in my signature, I have a method that works well with 1.6.
that seems like a nice tutorial except i was wondering if you could make it so i could have a gui with ur method (i currently have an image on fat32 part) ?
lxde would be good if it worked smooth. also u mentiond apps like firefox and aircrack will work... have u tested or are u jus geussing, also is there anyway that you couldd modify amonra's recovery so that there would be 1 more option that you could nativly boot into debian like in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444419&page=29

You can setup a GUI yourself if that is what you want, but I personally like terminal based Linux, so I see no need to spend countless hours doing such. As far as the other apps working, of course they will work, they run on debian. The issue is whether you want to give up valuable resources to try and run firefox on a G1 (it is something you would do just to say you did it, not for practicality). Aircrack will run, but you still need to work on the kernel to have it actually crack (people are working on it).

You probably need to register with the particular forum it is posted on.
I had a patched version of libflashplayer.so that worked fairly well with Hulu on VEGAn 5.1.1 but when I upgraded what I think was the same .so no longer worked.
So here's what you want to do:
1) Install Flash 10.2 off the market or however else you do it.
2) Get this: http://www.2shared.com/file/hW5sepYW/libflashplayer.html
3) Use your favorite method (adb, root explorer, etc.) to make a backup copy of /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so (I named mine libflashplayer.so.bak)
4) Put the file you downloaded in step 2 over the original (that's /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so)
5) You need to make sure the browser restarts. If you are adept, go to Settings, Applications and force close the browser. If that worries you, reboot the tablet (nuclear option).
6) Make sure the browser is set to report itself as a desktop (Depends on your browser).
Notes: If you are running Ad Free, Hulu will complain and make you wait 30-60 seconds while it complains.
If it looks like it is working but the screen is black or frozen, touch the video. The click sensitivity is ridiculously high so when you try to adjust anything or press play or full screen it will often see the press twice and just go back to pause.
Works fine with pershoot's latest kernel and VEGAn Ginger even full screen. I'm using Opera Mobile. Haven't tried others, but if they load flash should be ok.
Good luck!
Update: The "Long boot problem" winds up erasing this fix on each reboot! Until that gets figured out here's a work around:
Get Script Manager from the market. Create a script that runs as root at boot time.
Script manager already puts in the first line you need so the whole script looks like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
Use your favorite method to put the patched so file on /mnt/sdcard2 (or where ever you want to put it). If the boot thing gets fixed you should not need this anymore.
It is wise to test the script by simply running it before rebooting. You should not get any errors. If you do, fix them before you reboot.
Awesome, thanks! I tried everything and the closest I could get was picture but no sound. This worked perfect, using stock browser. Thanks again!
For some reason, it used to work to just change AND to WIN but now you have to jimmy the version number as well, apparently.
Okay following instructions exactly....downloaded new file and using rootexplorer to rename old file (bak) and replacing with downloaded file....
When I reboot my tablet the library file is resetting back to default....the original file is put back in place and the new downloaded file and backup file (bak) are nowhere to be found.....
I'm on VeganGinger using pershoots new oc kernel.....
Any ideas?
Hmm... same thing here! I just rarely reboot because it takes so long.
So this is probably related to the boot time issue. I figured out that the boot time is long because it unpacks the native libs for everything at boot time which I don't think it should be doing. So that explains that.
Could make a new APK but it would have to be signed. What I will probably do is keep my patched copy somewhere else and do a Script Manager script at boot time to do a copy:
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
(all on one line)
A hack, for sure though.
That does the trick, it looks like. You can get Script Manager on the market. Gscript would work but it can't auto run on boot as far as I know. This makes me more certain that VEGAn 5.1.1 was NOT unpacking the APKs on boot
Script manager already puts in the first line you need so the whole script looks like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
Use your favorite method to put the patched so file on /mnt/sdcard2 (or where ever you want to put it). If the boot thing gets fixed you should not need this anymore.
The other thing I use ScriptManager for is to bind mount sdcard2 in the /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2 directory so programs that only look in /sdcard can find things in my sdcard2 folders.
Fantastic ...thanks wd!
I'll give it a try...thanks for figuring out a work around so quickly ...
QUESTION .....so I create a the new script with Script Manager and place it where? Sorry ...have done the rooting, ROMs, kernels, etc. but scripts are new territory for me...thnx.
UPDATE.....Okay....created script to match your example...placed libflashplayer-patched.so on sdcard2...not sure where created script should be placed....checked "run at boot"...placed new script file on sdcard2, but Hulu did not work after rebooting so I'm guessing script needs to be in another location to run.....
script manager puts them in its folder. what happens if you run it from script manager? I am sure it needs root checked.
first time using Script Manager so I selected "New Script" and then gave it a file name "Hulu"...then copied the script language into that file and then Run...
came back with errors:
cp: can't stat '/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so/mnt':not a directory
cp: can't stat '/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so/libflashplayer-patched.so': Not a directory
Those paths are not right. Missing space I think.
Here is what I have:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
cp /mnt/sdcard2/libflashplayer-patched.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so
yep...too many spaces..fixed that..
now when I do a quick run in Script Manager I get the following error:
cp: can't create 'data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so': File exists
do you have run as root checked?

Bingo....I had Run on Boot, but not Run as Root....
Unfortunately after running and going to Hulu...on the main page I am getting a messages saying: "Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing."
I have the latest Flash 10.2 available for Android....user agent is set to desktop on browser....strange...
10.2.59.1 is what I get at www.playerversion.com. Is it possible you have the wrong one in the data directory?
is that the libflashplayer-patched.so file? I'm using the one from the download link in your original post..
if that's not it let me know....thanks for your help..sorry you're having to walk me through this....
WHEN I GO TO PLAYERVERSION.COM ON MY TABLET IT SAYS I DON'T HAVE FLASH PLAYER INSTALLED. Could the replacement libflashplayer.so file be incorrect?
Its working for me. You do have Flash 10.2 installed from market first right? I'm sure you do or it wouldn't be getting overwritten.
Here's what I'd suggest.
Remove and reinstall 10.2 plain. Turn off the boot script. Reboot.
Open some flash site like the player test site with your browser of choice (I use Opera Mobile). Observe that it tells you that you are on 10.2. something.
Now turn the boot script back on. If you force close the browser, just run the script. If you prefer, just reboot. Now go back to the same site and observe that you have Flash running and it is now the patched version #. If not, Hulu isn't going to work.
Once that's working, try Hulu again.
No worries. Would be good to know that it works somewhere else ;-)
Works great!
Thanks. Works great on the stock browser. Still get the "your operating system not supported usung Opera Mobile" tho. Just downloaded latest version of opera and it no longer let's you choose type of system, so I imagine that is the problem.
Is that Opera Mobile or Opera Mini?
Okay...Hulu now up and running...
When I looked at the script and realized what it was actually doing I realized that I shouldn't have been actually naming the patched file as "-patched" as that was why after the script ran Flash no longer showed up...
I renamed to match the libflashplayer.so file it was replacing...also moved file and script reference to "sdcard" rather than "sdcard2" to see if that made a difference...now working fine on Hulu....
Thanks for the fix and walking a noob thru using scripts!

Hi and to the case...
Everything was ok until today. I'm on JVP / Semaphore 1.3.0a with some scripts in init.d folder like ramscript. I don't really know what could happened, but scripts are no longer working. When I try to load them manually via script manager most of them respond "permission denied" or "are you root?". Ofc I'm root
I tried reinstalling busybox, tried delete it and reinstall the kernel (which have it's own version of busybox). Busybox is in the /sbin directory installed by kernel. When i try to install it (1.6.2) in other directory - /system/xbin ; /system/bin it give the same result - scripts not working.
If anyone could help I'll be grateful.
Tried Galaxian GT kernel few minutes ago with same result - scripts can't be executed.
Check the permissions of the scripts. Change it to rwxrwxrwx.
Also uninstall all extra version of busybox. Semaphore kernel has an embedded busybox version.

That is very good question!
I didn't change sh#$, excuse my language. If I think about it... I only installed Titanium Backup Activator (needed root who knows for what). I wanted to test Pro features before buying cuz TB is expensive, wanted to know if I really need the Pro features.
Maybe that activator did something? But everything beside that works. I'm so confused. I only know one thing... I will never try pirated apps again :/
TB has his own busybox (1.18.4). But it should not interfere with Semaphore ones (it does not on my phone).
Try to delete this file:
/system/xbin/busybox
It should solve the problem.
Btx, you can use last version of semaphore, it's compatible with JVP.

Will try after work. And thanks for the headsup on new version. With the last one I have ... yeah, problem with scripts, so I sticked to 1.3.0a.
Busybox issue. Install busybox installer and install 1.17.x in /xbin. Remove all other instances of busybox and it'll work. Make sure the permissions of the scripts in init.d is rwxr-xr-x.

Define "full function". If you mean, can you upgrade to Ubuntu 12, no. If you mean, can you run Unity, no. If you mean being able to to almost everything you would do on a regular PC running Ubuntu, yes. Granted there is no support for NTFS drives or DVD burners and things of that sort but look at the software list. Short of playing Halo, it covers over 90% of what people use a computer for.
Here's a list of what I use it for;
Web browsing (posting this using webtop)
Watch movies (pretty much any flash video site works)
Watch Hulu (no app needed and am infact watching Hulu right now)
Listen to music (local or streaming)
Create and edit documents, speadsheets, powerpoint
Near Photoshop level of image editing
Edit audio files
ROM work
Chat
Torrents
Gaming (both linux games and using emulators)
Website updates and maintenance
Writing and editing scripts
What I can't do with it or haven't tried yet;
SBF flashing (haven't tried)
Working in ADB and fastboot (haven't tried)
Watch Netflix (there's an app for that)
Run a current version of Chrome or Firefox (this only has Firefox 8 right now)
Kernel compiles (make is a bit old in ubuntop)
I hope this helps.

First hit up the webtop2sd thread to figure out what's up because with it working, Ubuntop won't work.
Thanks for your post! It is good to see that there are WebTop developers
I have a question : what is the difference between your UbuntuTop and a customized webtop2sd WebTop ? (I have webtop2sd with gnome 2.0)
Still no luck!

have rebooted and wiped cache too.
Now stuck!
Any help appreciated!
I've been using webtop2sd with NottachTrix since its introduction. On the last fresh install, I had to relink busybox in the /etc/webtop2sd directory.

I have the same question, and is it faster (like Gentop tries to be).
Also, do I need webtop2sd for the install, or can I install this to the internal partition first then move it with webtop2sd? Can I use my sd partition to extend certain directories to get more space (again like Gentop) instead of mirroring everything (like webtop2sd does).

Unsure as to how similar our problems are, but my Firefox stopped working after I flashed to a CM9 ROM then returned to Nottachtrix again.
Ultimately I used Atrix Fastboot Tool to erase the Webtop partition then flashed a stock webtop through CWM. Perhaps try that and then install UbunTop.
Lots of questions so let me try to get everything answered.

First this is a unified base so you don't think of it as Atrix Ubuntop vs Electrify Ubuntop vs Photon Ubuntop. You have to think of it as Moto Tegra2 Ubuntop (I'm thinking I should rename it that). File for file it is the exact same as what's run on the Electrify and Photon. Advantages of a unified base are many. As long as I can get it to fit inside that 755MB cap the Atrix has, ANY tweaks or improvements made by ANYBODY in Moto Tegra2 community can be applied. Granted approval on both sides and proper credit will apply. The other advantage is that any major updates (like Ubuntu 10,11,12) that I can cram into that 755MB automatically become usable to all the Moto Tegra2 Webtop users!
The other main difference is that all the flashing and scripts to get to an unlocked webtop with synaptic and custom dock/desktop are already done. When you install OpenOffice what do you do? You launch synaptic, search for openoffice then go through and select packages. In Ubuntop, you launch synaptic, click file/read markings and select the openoffice file in the software folder. Take all the software listed in the OP, that's installed by selecting one preconfigured markings file. There are also things like over 150 config edits to Firefox alone that are permanent, a lot of moto crap has been removed.
To compared to what you probably have setup, Ubuntop will get you there far faster and with less time in terminal. In short, far more average user friendly. User friendly has been my goal since Ubuntop launched back in September of last year because Moto really screwed up what could have been an amazing product. Read this and you will understand my motives behind this.

Ubuntop was deved on that very ROM. I do have a fix so I'm going to amend the install method for the Atrix in the OP. The install method should now be;
Flash Univ_Ubuntop_v1.0.0.zip via CWM
Reboot
*Atrix Users-Run webtop2sd
Launch Webtop+
Reboot into recovery and flash menupatch.zip
Relaunch Webtop+ and enjoy!

Right now I'm trying to get everybody on the same webtop base (WT-1.2.0-180) for the reason stated above. It does have a number of improvements over stock but has yet to be fully optimized. As nice as Gentop2 is, it's far larger than Ubuntop and has files spread all over the phone and SDCard. Try this and tell me how it goes;
Ignore any CWM backups you may have
Ignore your computer
Perform a factory reset (or format preinstall when ROM flashing)
Try to launch Gentop2
Try the same with Ubuntop (all that's needed is webtop2sd and the menupatch.zip to get you up and running again)
So Ubuntop's other main advantages are survivability after factory reset and install/distribution method.
(I have offered to make Gentop2 flashable and even provided a template.zip but have not heard back. I may make it flashable and simply give him the file. Yes I give dev work away, a lot actually.)
If you want to play with splitting up Ubuntop feel free but I have not done so for the reasons stated above.
I hope you guys are submitting this to portal because if THIS can make it the is no reason why Ubuntop can't.

How to set up Pidgin for GTalk and mastashake57's Webtop Exchange email (untested) added to the OP
I'm tempted to try this, but I have one major motivation in trying it.
Will it run a modern version of Chromium? My current webtop setup has an unbearably slow Firefox and due to a few outdated packages required to get webtop to boot, the newest version of Chromium that I can install from synaptic or otherwise without breaking my webtop is version 4. It crashes constantly, but it's still considerably faster than Firefox, despite the crashes.
What's the latest version of Chromium that Ubuntop can run on the Atrix?

Define "unbearably slow". If you can give me some raw data it would be a big help.
I need to know Kernel/ROM (any additional settings,changes), addresses of test webpages, webpage load time, sunspider bench and so on. I will then duplicate your tests and post results.
The supported Chrome version is going to be the same.
Also if it helps. On the Photon running Joker/Imperium at 1.2GHz running Photon UbunTop v1.2, page loads and sunspider scores were about the same as the Dell mini 10 Z530 1.6GHz running firefox/safari/chrome. Testing was done back in Feb/Mar 2012. To be honest, the Dell mini 10 and similarly spec'd netbooks are a good indicator as to performance in many areas. Considering that Moto used a generic Ubuntu Jaunty ARM base from 2009, I'm surprised it performs as well as it does.

you can get it working pretty easilyg without a module having to be installed, just install it like a normal app on your phone and then put the file it makes after it installs into the magisk.img (while its mounted) in the post-fs-data folder.
It will look like this:
/magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d/0000liveboot
the contents of my working 0000liveboot script is:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/sh /data/user_de/0/eu.chainfire.liveboot/files/liveboot &
If for any reason the file called is not in that spot, you'll gave to find it manually and change the script to reflect where it is on your particular phone. Possible locations might be /data/user/0/ or /data/data/
Best case is you can just use the 0000liveboot script exactly like I have it. Try that first. If you have no log overlay next boot, you'll have to did where the I installed liveboot app you have is keeping its data and simply change the script so it reflects wherever you find it, then try rebooting again and it should work!
I should mention I'm using v1.60 of chainfire's app
the attachment here is just the script that I know works, just in case anyone wants it.

All the LiveBoot app needs is a working init.d. If your ROM doesn't have that already, the easiest way to achieve this with Magisk is to symlink /magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d to /system/etc/init.d.
I haven't tried it myself, but you should simply be able to install the init.d linker module, reboot, install LiveBoot and then let it do it's thing. Nice and systemless.
Reading your previous posts again I see that the app already has asked to install the script, meaning you already have init.d support. Why not just let it install the script? If you have init.d you don't have to worry about official OTAs anyway and it is very unlikely it'll trip SafetyNet (if that's what you're worried about). Or, just use the above mentioned module.
OK, I installed the app, let it do it's thing, then moved the script from init.d folder to post-fs-data.d magisk folder, created a symlink back to init.d folder so the app doesn't complain about script not installed (and also to be able to edit its settings), rebooted and it's working again!
Thanks so much for the help

You have Magisk installed? The full path is /magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d

Thanks.Yes, I have. Found the path and managed to create a symlink, still not working. I used sdmaid to move files and Mount the partition and terminal to symlink.I am using MI 5 Gemini with ViperOS 3.1. Can this be done on my device?
Do you have LiveBoot installed? Does it work on it's own? What do you mean by mounting? I didn't need to mount anything.
The init.d path is /system/etc/init.d.
That's where the liveboot script should place itself once the app installs. That's the first step, do you have it there? Does it work?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. Yes, I had the file on that path. It was not working even after moving the 0000liveboot file to magisk/.core/post-data-fs.d. I have now done a clean install of Viper with SuperSU rather than magisk. And now it's working like a charm. I never had the liveboot working with Magisk except for test run. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Yes, sorry, I moved the file to magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d, and created a symlink as well, but it was not working. And I really don't want to leave viper or liveboot either, so I installed SuperSU. But can this be done using Magisk? I am using mi5 Gemini, Viper OS 3.1.1. Thank you again.

Ha! Finally it's working now on magisk . I copied the liveboot file in magisk directory and installed init.d linker on magisk. Instead of creating a symlink using terminal, just moved the initlinker.sh file to the original source and Bingo! Thank you very much mate. I almost lost hope using liveboot with magisk. It was possible for you, THANK YOU?
(Magisk 15.1 / init.d enabler v2.2 , LiveBoot v1.6 )
I can also confirm that the Official Liveboot v1.60 from Playstore in combination with Magisk 15.1 works as soon as it finds a working /system/etc/init.d.
The Linker Modul does its job as expected by Didgeridoohan.
The Test Run works perfect.
When i boot up the phone i can see that Liveboot starts, as the screen is flickering shortly in the transition from Boot-Bootscreen and System-Bootscreen (same logo).
But the scrolling liveboot log itsself just shows up for half a second, when the boot screen switches to "home" respective Lockscreen respective the launcher.
From the previous state (SuperSu/Magisk 12) i know thats it is supposed to appear very soon on the screen.
The liveboot option "overlay on top of the boot animation" changes the appearance of that mentioned half second, but not the timing of the appearance.
Any ideas ? Which Logs ?
Thanks, Greets and a happy 2018
Just put the (liveboot) script in /magisk/.core/service.d, works like a charm.
Confirmed !
Now works like expected. Thank you !
Any way to get this to work on pixel 2 xl ? I tried the above and it fails The closest ive gotten so far is the google logo changed to an android one and the test on the liveboot app works.
Im confused I tried all the steps again but from fromflash fire and it failed, but flash fire itself reboots and scrolls the catlog while its flashing. ( think it reboots twice )
