[Q] How to install adb on linux??? (ubuntu)

Hey guys im pretty good with adb, not many problems at all but ive recently ditched windows for a real os Ubuntu but im not super familiar with the commands and how to do this and that. Can someone hep me with setting up adb in Linux the guide posted is really rough for noobs to linux.

well if you using linux then you will be using terminal to type out the adb commands. once you installed adb into linux you can type adb /? and it will give you the list of commands. In most cases you have to use sudo when running adb commands, at least using sudo when starting the adb server.

no i have no problem using adb at all, i was asking how to install it i cant get it to run in the first place ?

you have to follow the steps for linux, they are mostly meant for ubuntu afaik. Download the special linux SDK, Eclipse etc. One thing you should do to make adb work is add your sdk/tools directory to linux's $PATH.
It should go something like this...
$ echo $PATH (should return the directories associated with $PATH)
$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/sdk/tools (replace with path to your tools directory, you may need to add 'sudo' to the beginning of this cmd)
$ echo $PATH (you should now see your tools directory added to the end of the $PATH variable)
$ adb devices (now adb should do something, if nothing else at least error, no devices)
Is this what you were looking for? or some other issue..

Just to expand on that a little, when you adb start-server you will need to sudo, IIRC on ubuntu root is only enable to connect to USB.
Eg
Code:
sudo adb start-server
adb devices
adb logcat

Thank youu a lot! It's working with this but everytime I am rebooting Ubunutu 9.04 I have to type in these commands again to get adb...
what can I do?

you have to put this command in your .bashrc file
$ sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
then you need to enter your password
in the file you just need to add that command at the end :
PATH=$PATH:/SDK_PATH/tools/
export PATH
SDK_PATH.. you need to put your path .. something like ~/android-sdk-linux/
then you need to reboot to see if it works ;-)
enjoy !

how do you
install apps on the virtual device?????????

This is how I did it on my machine:
1. Download this zip file
2. Extract the file and copy both files to /usr/bin/
3. In the terminal type lsusb and copy first 4 ID symbols for High Tech Computer Corp
4. In the terminal type sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and paste the following SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS(idVendor)=="0bb4",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666" where the bold symbols are taken from step #3.
5. Save and close everything. Unplug your device and plug it back again. ADB should now work as supposed.

Thanks for this easy instruction and for the files Karolis. Everything works fine on Ubuntu 10.10 x64

Just in case anyone else runs across this, in Suse 11.3 I needed to replace the brackets around idVendor with curly braces.
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"
Even after that, I don't seem to get any devices in adb
Code:
# adb devices
List of devices attached
Here is /var/log/messages when plugging the device in

Thanks bud, this helped me out.. Recently installed Ubuntu back on my machine and could not remember for the life of me how to do this lol. So, thanks again.

Hi My name is abbas, I followed the procedure to set the path in ubuntu for adb, however after setting the path: when I typed
$adb
the response was:
$ error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: wrong ELF class: CLASS64

Can someone help me, i'm using both Windows and Linux Ubuntu 11.10 OS, and i did manage to get adb to work on Windows, but now i prefer Linux and i can't manage adb to work. Downloaded sdk, proprietary platform etc. . . Exported path, installed lsusb-1.0.8, edited rules and inserted rules for Sony Ericsson etc. But when i type $ sudo adb start-server (then i type my password) it says that command is unknown. " sudo: adb: command not found " so my question is what the f**k i'm doing wrong?
EDIT: Changed location of sdk folder, eclipse. . . And it worked, tnx anyway. . .

[Guide]USB Host Enabled Kernel for the G1/Dream

HOWTO: Compile USB Host Enabled Kernel for the G1/Dream
Hi everyone,
I've got my new HTC Dream and I love it. It's my first Android based device. Now I'm running CyanogenMod 6 Rom.
So this is what I have:
Model number: HTC Dream
Andreoid ver: 2.2
Kermel ver: 2.6.34.5-cynogenmod
Mod version: CyanodenMod-6.0.0-DS
Build number: FRF91
I followed these guides to compile usb host enabled kernel. Please thank Andrew de Quincey, Sven Killig , Michael Mitchell and Frank Sposaro for their awesome work.
Preparing Android Build Environment
mkdir ~/cm-kernel-usbhost/
cd ~/cm-kernel-usbhost/
git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/cm-kernel.git
cd cm-kernel
git branch -r
git checkout --track -b cm-2.6.34 origin/android-msm-2.6.34
Patch the kernel source tree
wget http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/android-kernel_msm-bca5320_Nexus-One_usb-host.patch
patch -p1 < android-kernel_msm-bca5320_Nexus-One_usb-host.patch
open ~/cm-kernel-usbhost/ cm-kernel /drivers/usb/host/ehci-msm7201.c and delete line 313
Export a variable for the ARM cross compiler
export CCOMPILER=~/android-ndk-r4b/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-
Download kernel .config here and move to .config
Edit!: Use attached config file!
mv g1-cm-kern-2.6.34-usbhost.config .config
Then start the build:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER
At this point you should have a kernel stored in ~/cm-kernel-usbhost/cm-kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage
Now, get the kernel on the phone:
I use fastboot to boot from RAM (not persistent)
~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/fastboot boot arch/arm/boot/zImage
Look above at the output from the kernel build. The last thing completed is the module building (total = modpost). Notice the hierarchal structure of the compiled modules within the filesystem. Ex: /system/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko
Copy modules to sdcard
Now we need to load the modules into the running kernel.
Open a terminal emulator on the phone (connectbot also works, connect to local)
get root:
su
then load the usb core and ehci modules:
insmod /sdcard/usbcore.ko
insmod /sdcard/ehci-hcd.ko
You can download compiled kernel and modules here.
Hope that this guide will be helpful to newbies like me.
Regards,
Andy
NB!
This kernel currently disables USB mount and adb over USB.
usb-storage.ko module is loaded fine but when a usb flash drive is pluged-in the phone reboots itself.
You need a powered hub or Y-cable and USB A Female / A Female Adaptor to connect your usb devices.
Now wifi is working!
UPDATE: 11.12.2010
How to make an OTA package and switch between usb host and otg.
wget ww2.cs.fsu.edu/~mitchell/android/ZipBuilder.tar
tar -xvf ZipBuilder.tar
cd ZipBuilder
./builder.sh
rename update_signed.zip usbhost_signed.zip and copy it to sd card.
make a Nandorid backup and split boot.img using split_bootimg.pl
rename boot.img-kernel to zImage and copy it to ~/cm-kernel-usbhost/cm-kernel/arch/arm/boot/
than run ./builder.sh again
rename update_signed.zip to otg_signed.zip and copy it to sd card.
Now you can flash these zip from recovery.

Any luck with Sven's img?

Yes, I tried to boot Sven's zImage but without success.
So now I'm trying to compile android-msm-2.6.34 kernel pathced with Sven's patch file.
The patch was successfully applied but when I started compilling this error occured:
In file included from drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1153:
drivers/usb/host/ehci-msm7201.c: In function 'usb_hcd_msm7201_probe':
drivers/usb/host/ehci-msm7201.c:313: error: 'struct msm_hsusb_platform_data' has no member named 'phy_shutdown'
I don't know how and where to add this member.
I'd appreciate some help.
Regards Andy

This seems to be defined only in the Hero Kernel. Delete line 313.

Thank you very much for quick reply!!!
Now everything is OK!
I used fastboot to boot from RAM and then load the usb core and ehci modules.
And...yeeeeeeee now my G1 is usb host device!
I'm using Y-cable from my external HDD.
I must compile some modules like usb-storage and start testing.
My usb mouse works great with usbhid.ko.
Thank you again!
P.S. I'll update the first post soon!

That's Great~! I've found this for several months! Could you post your detailed tutorial for us? I think most G1 owner should want it. Maybe, you could make a special patch for the roms of CM 6, and everyone could update kernel more effortlessly.
Cheers!
Fox

I updated the first post and now you can download compiled kernel-2.6.34 and modules.
I tried usb-storage.ko but when I pluged my usb flash drive the phone reboot itself.

Is there something in /data/dontpanic directly after the reboot?

No, it's empty.
I load these modules: usbcore.ko, ehci-hcd.ko, usb-libusual.ko, usb-storage.ko.
Usb-storage.ko depends on usb-libusual.ko
I'm curious if it's possible to run my ACR122 contactless smartcard reader.
I installed Debian Leny and ACR drivers on sdcard as I do on my PC.

You have to do
Code:
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

Hi again,
thanks for your help. It seems that usb-storage.ko depends on usb-libusual.ko only when this modul is selected. I compiled kernel with build-in usb-storage but no matter i do my phone reboots after I pluged-in a usb flash storage. /data/dontpanic is empty.
Code:
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
Now I can use lsusb.
I looked at .config but didn't find something about smartcard reader so if I manage to sort out drivers in Debian will it start working?
Kind regards
Andy

Please reupload link to kernel and modul.

Hi, newbie here. I was wondering whether once you have this setup, you can read read raw data directly from the usb port like you could in linux via /dev/hidraw2 or something similar?

Hello again,
why doesn't the wifi module work with this kernel?

is there any body going well of this?
my G1 detected the keyboard and my external HDD, I input the command 'lsusb' and 'dmesg', it seems working well; but a few moment later, it gives the message like this "can't enumerate usb devices in port 1"...what's more, I'm a noob with kernel and driver, anybody who can tell me how could I access the HDD and make the keyboard working, thans

Hi again,
at first I used Michael Mitchell's config file but than I decided to make my own config file:
1.Retrieve a working kernel config from your phone:
adb pull /proc/config.gz
gunzip config.gz
mv config .config
2.Customize the kernel:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER menuconfig
And now with my config file wifi is working.
There are CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV and CONFIG_HIDRAW options. I have basic skills in Linux so I can't help you.
I tried to compile USB Gadget Support as a module but receive this error:

IPv6 Privacy Extensions

I just tested Privacy Extensions successfully under Virtuous 3.2.0 using the following command:
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr=2
However I'd like to make the change permanent. Would it be better to create /etc/sysctl.conf which currently does not exist on my device, or add it to the /sys/module/ipv6/parameters directory? I tried the later, but was unable to create the file. Any ideas?
# pwd
/sys/module/ipv6/parameters
# echo 2 > use_tempaddr
cannot create use_tempaddr: directory nonexistent
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14013

I'm on a Galaxy S but it doesn't matter.
I used the command from there https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/176125
on adb:" echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr" but i get the erro:
"cannot create /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr: directory nonexistent"
I made a textfile in windows and named it "use_tempaddr" and wrote "2" in the textfile. Removed the *.txt extension and copied it to /mnt/sdcard on my GalaxyS.
Then I made "busybox cp /mnt/sdcard/use_tempaddr /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr" but I get the error: "cp: can't create '/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr': No such file or directory"
Pls, help me how to get that file working.

You could use a sysctl.conf in /system/etc, just follow the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814463
Very simple

failed to copy 'sysctl.conf' to '/system/etc/sysctl.conf': Permission denied
Why?
Can I do "adb shell" instead, then "su" to have access? But what is the command from inside adb shell instead of adb push?
EDIT: I pushed it to /mnt/sdcard but I can't copy it to /system/etc with Astro, the paste option is grayed out
EDIT2: Ok it worked. I downloaded "super manager" from the android market, and activated the root (rights) function of super manager.
Edit3: But going to for example http://test-ipv6.com on my Android device does show the MAC in the ipv6 address. So it didn't work
EDIT4: Another thing is, the Android Browser of Android 2.2 seems to only support ipv4

You need root to modify the system partition.
Did you "sysctl -p" after the transfer? If not, open a terminal on your phone (or adb, whichever you prefer), and type that. The command should output the contents of your sysctl.conf
If that is successful, reboot, then try the website again.

If I enter sysctl -p it says sysctl:not found
if I enter sysctl.conf -p it says sysctl.conf: not found
But when I cd to /system/etc and do "ls" i can see the sysctl.conf file is present.

Try:
Code:
busybox sysctl -p
Usually the update-script used to install roms will symlink this for you, but in this case, it's just one extra word lol.

Code:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
# busybox sysctl -p
sysctl: error: 'net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr' is an unknown key

hm.....

That's the extent of my knowledge sorry to say. Not too familiar with all of this
I hope someone can solve your issue!

Just for a sanity check, you could try looking at what is allowable in the context of your dinc: // I only looked at eth0, you can look at whatever you like using enough terms to get you into the neighborhood.
(from adb)
bash-3.2# sysctl -A | grep "net.ipv6.conf.eth0."
sysctl -A | grep "net.ipv6.conf.eth0."
sysctl: error reading key 'net.ipv4.route.flush': Permission denied

net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_redirects = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.dad_transmits = 1

So, maybe this line is of interest::

-- I could echo 1 into the /proc FS spot you were trying to, as well as setting tempaddr=2. I am just guessing that some of the kernels aren't using built in ipv6, so maybe you've got to load the module? "modprobe ipv6"?
I'm also guessing you've tested something easy like "# ping6 -c 4 ::1" just to be sure ipv6 is alive at all.
Just some thoughts - Hashi

ping6 does show that:
Code:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
# ping6 -c 4 ::1
ping6: not found
# busybox ping6 -c 4 ::1
PING ::1 (::1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ::1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.191 ms
64 bytes from ::1: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.924 ms
64 bytes from ::1: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.968 ms
64 bytes from ::1: seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.198 ms
--- ::1 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.191/0.570/0.968 ms
#
grep doesn't exist on the phone:
Code:
export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ $su
# busybox sysctl -a | grep "net.ipv6.conf"
grep: not found
sysctl: error reading key 'net.ipv4.route.flush': Permission denied
sysctl: error reading key 'net.ipv6.route.flush': Permission denied
#
And modprobe ipv6 gives:
Code:
export PATH=/system/xbin:$PATH
$ $busybox modprobe ipv6
modprobe: chdir(2.6.32.9): No such file or directory
$
EDIT: "lsmod" doesn't show ipv6
and "insmod ipv6" says "can't open 'ipv6'"

Just a couple things since I've got to run now:
1) No grep on phone: I think it's just another bit of busybox. If you type in busybox and <enter>, then you should see a huge list of verbs / cmds, and you can use "busybox" <verb> (or for grep busybox grep) instead of grep.
2) modprobe ipv6 fails:: I hadn't really studied android much yet, so now I see that ipv6 is most often compiled into the kernel, not a module, so my mistake. It is unlikely to be module except on some early kernel or if someone really wanted it to be.
3) ping6 ::1 returns, is a good, but very embryonic good sign.
4) What are you after? Stateless configuration (DHCP for IPv6 only unique?). Have you had IPv6 working after any fashion (say with a "2001::xxxx:yyyy::z" homebrewed unique address working at all yet? Another thing: Are you behind some IPv6 unfriendly firewall or are you using 3g? If you're on wifi and say, behind an ATT UVerse setup, you are going to have use 6to4 tunnel to get anywhere. (hey, what's another 30 ms? )
--- I'm an IPv6 fan, but only really know configuring it on Cisco routers and true linux boxes thus far. -----
If you're in what maybe is the best of worlds on wifi over a dd-wrt setup, then try to configure an IPv6 tunnel on the firewall on the Outside and see if you can hit that with IPv6. Gotta start somewhere.
Hashi

I use a AVM Fritzbox 7240 with freetz image.
My ISP doesn't use IPv6 yet but the fritzbox router automatically negotiates if 6to4 is necessary. And because my ISP still has no ipv6 the router uses 6to4.
Another setting in the router config is, that the router addresses 'unique local addresses' to the network device as far as no ipv6 connection is present.
That setting can be changed too.
I'm not a professional network administrator, but I wanted to test ipv6 for the router. And I want to use the privacy extensions on android, because without them the MAC is shown on for example www.test-ipv6.com. Ipv6 does work on android but without privacy extensions at default.
Ah yes, I connect my android device via wifi to the router.
So, if ipv6 is built into the kernel, is there a via to set the use_tempaddr setting? Maybe via a file like rc.custom or how these files are called that load things at boot up.

OK: It sounds like you made a lot more progress than me on the droid if you got it working with any outside site with IPv6. One thing I notice is that although it "appears" I can set use_tempaddr, I then realized that no matter what I type in, it is usually echoed back to me on the command line, so that I have no idea if it was really set. I'm too new to the Dinc to know what it'll do and won't re ipv6.
It turns out I wasn't setting it using sysctl, but I was able to echo 2 > /proc/*/.../use_tempaddr, and that would show up in a 'cat /proc/*' statement. I don't think it actually is working on my ROM or that I haven't yet figured out how to transform the linux statements I'm comfortable with into the watered down droid busybox equivalents. I'm really not seeing much indication other than a few little hopeful things, that ipv6 is fully enough supported on my rev of software to get anywhere.
However, now I'm pretty interested in this and will be working on an ipv6 setup (just got an actual /48 block at work) so will be keeping this in mind.
I'm curious now to know what series of statements you used to get far enough to hit www.test-ipv6.com with ping6? (or did I get that wrong?)
There is a bug filed in the google codebase that implies that ipv6 just isn't working yet, but it looks fairly old. It may be pre-2.2. It is an enhancement request that is still alive and asking for ipv6 support in android, so I'm really interested in what you did before to get it working.
By the way, my results from test-ipv6.com are pretty bleak. 10/10 for ipv4 and 0/14 (I'm forgetting the exact numbers). That was after a lot of setup and attempting to do this the way I'd do a linux box. I do believe it's in the kernel, and sysctl -a seems to bear that out.
I did manage to figure out how to make a dinc kernel tonight, so I can get a better look now at the ipv6.c code and make sure it's in the config. This little linux box is really confusing me right now
Thanks -- Hashi

I didn't do much.
I have android 2.2 which already supports ipv6 but no privacy extensions.
ipv6 worked from the start.
Ipv6 does show me a 7/10 on my win7 pc.
But with my galaxy S android device it shows 0 or 2 (I don't remember)
I think the installed browser of android 2.2 doesn't support ipv6 yet.
I have made screenshots to compare ipv6 on win7 and on the android device via wifi.
Do you think the results for my android device on test.ipv6.com appear like that, because the browser doesn't show ipv6 sites, or do the results mean that I have an ipv6 address through 6to4 but my android device doesn't accept ipv6 yet?

I'll look around for the write-up(s) I found over the last day or two about various androids and ipv6, and they'll perhaps answer some of your questions, like the browser. This is the gist of what I got from reading.
Some 2.2+ androids support (marginally) the ipv6 stack, tunneled AND dual-stack. A couple people can get 'outside' using ipv6, and a couple more can 'browse' ipv6-only websites. The browser isn't the problem. At some low level on my Incredible, the stack doesn't "see" ipv6 addresses as "valid". I think that means it just has some holes left in it. You've got a 'newer' device (Samsung), so this may have been improved.
My scores are 10/10, ipv4, and 0/24? ipv6, and from a 0 score there's nothing it can tell you of use. It just doesn't work. Yours looks very promising.
One thing I'm wondering about is whether I've got a version of busybox that is sadly lacking in ipv6 functionality. All the network applets come out of that single executable. I've got busybox 1.16.0, and am curious which you've got. I could change busybox's version easily, in fact you can go to busybox.net, get source, fix it up, use toolchains and build it.
Also, life is easier if you just install it (./busybox --install .) since it'll make a symlink for each function in whatever folder it was in (like /system/xbin is pretty empty and on my path).
Let us know when you get it running. I'll do the same. Another thing missing in mine is ipv6 DNS. I have ipv6 DNS setup at work, and if I point it to that DNS server using "setprop x.y.sit1.DNS.*" (sorry, don't recall the exact setup procedure), than it still will not resolve ipv6 addresses. Nslookup (type=AAAA) doesn't work correctly either. Mine is heavily hacked stock 2.2 with a custom kernel. I just blew all the 'sense' layer away for the sake of battery life.
-- H

I use a cooked rom, not the official samsung 2.2
It has had busybox 1.16 installed.
But I went to the market and installed the app "BusyBox Installer" which then installed BusyBox 1.17.1 for me.

Sorry for not subscribing to my own thread, I had this problem licked back in January....at least on my Droid Inc. The problem is that /system is mounted as read-only. You need to remount with RW permissions and then copy or vi sysctl.conf to /system/etc/

Thanks for checking back. I'd still like to get this working on my own Inc. The case I'm most interested in is probably using 3g rather than wifi. Do you have an idea whether the Verizon 3g supports ipv6? I know we should be able to get it working in , for example, a dd-wrt flashed router, but it would be nice to be able to use ipv6 when there's no handy wifi.
Thanks - Hashi

Thx for the feedback.
I remounted system rw (can be done easily with "SGS Toolbox", or manually)
Ifconfig shows as long as wifi is turned on, there is an interface called eth0.
I added to the sysctl.conf this: "net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2"
I rebooted and ifconfig shows an ipv4 and ipv6 address.
But www.test-ipv6.com shows 0/10 at the ipv6 rating.
EDIT: Does /system have to be kept rw or can I change it to Read-only after placing the sysctl.conf?

[Q] OpenVPN on Droid3?

I want to setup OpenVPN on my device, but the installer is saying that it needs a TAP/TUN module. After doing some research it looks like it's tun.ko that I'm looking for, but I'm not that famaliar with the android devices (this is my first droid, had it for about a month now) and would like some help or recommendations
I'm actually running an Bell branded XT860.

tun/tap is built in D3 stock kernel, so you need no module tun.ko.
Which OpenVPN Installer did you try? The app from the market? It worked fine for me, only shortcoming is the openvpn binary seems to have a bug on D3, the built-in route and ifconfig commands do not work. But no big deal for me, since I use a start script anyway and add these commands to this script.

Can you elaborate how your using the startup scripts? I'm using OpenVPN on CM7 on another device and it works well. My D3 is getting shipped to me and I'd like to also get OpenVPN running on it.
Thanks

How detailled do you need it? I can show you what I did, but you need some Linux / OpenVPN skills to alter it for your needs. Unfortunately, I currently don't have the time to write a failsave HowTo. But if you have further questions, feel free to ask.
1. remount /system read-write
2. mkdir -p /system/scripts/openvpn and copy your OpenVPN configfiles there
3. Create script /system/scripts/ovpn.sh:
#! /system/bin/sh
openvpn --cd /system/scripts/openvpn --config openvpn.conf --daemon
sleep 1
ifconfig tun0 172.31.254.10 pointopoint 172.31.254.9
/system/sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 dev tun0
exit 0
4. Make a widget with app Script Manager
5. remount /system read-only
EDIT: What I missed to mention before: I had some MTU problemes. Configuring "mssfix 1200" solved it.

So let me get this right.
I have openvpn settings and the binary installed.
config files are in /sdcard/openvpn/
both the -> swissvpn.ovpn and ca.crt
openvpn binary is in /system/xbin/openvpn
I modified script in /system/scripts/openvpn to read
openvpn.conf to swissvpn.ovpn
--------------------------------------
#! /system/bin/sh
openvpn --cd /system/scripts/openvpn --config swissvpn.ovpn --daemon
sleep 1
ifconfig tun0 172.31.254.10 pointopoint 172.31.254.9
/system/sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 dev tun0
exit 0
-----------------------------------
saved to /system/scripts/ovpn.sh
Questions
1.) Do I need to point openvpn to the config files in /system/scripts/openvpn or /sdcard/openvpn for it to work?
2.)Will this finally fix the routing problem with the browser not tunneling properly?
3.)Do I need to issue "Load tun kernel module" in "openvpn settings" or is this already solved with the stock kernel?

Regarding your first question, yes you have to, and this isn't your only mistake. You cannot just adopt my ifconfig and route settings.
OK, how could we start? I fear you are using a server-pushed configuration and I further fear this will just not work with this "broken" openvpn binary.
Could you please post your swissvpn.ovpn?
And please do the following, on command line as root:
openvpn --cd /sdcard/openvpn --config swissvpn.ovpn
... and please post the output.

I messed up on my last post.
I meant the ovpn.sh script is in /system/scripts/
the 2 config files swissvpn.opvn and ca.crt are in /system/scripts/openvpn/
The openvpn binary is in /system/xbin/openvpn/ and was installed by 'OpenVPN Installer' from the Market. "OpenVPN Settings" is the app I'm using to configure all of this.
also if I execute your ovpn.sh in script manager as root it just outputs this

The green checkbox had turn off and displayed this message.

OK, it seams my workaround doesn't work for you because your ifconfig and route parameters are pushed by the server. There is more investigation needed, either in a new build of the openvpn binary or another workaround. I'll have a closer look at it, but really cannot promise you a timeline.

I was having your same problem with "FATAL:Linux ifconfig failed:could not execute external program."
There is a fix in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1074492.html
cd /system/xbin

[Q] oneplus one port, adbd not starting at boot... help

I'm trying to port ubuntu touch to oneplus one, it compiled without any errors. I have a problem where adbd does not start? and it's hard to debug without adbd. btw: adbd starts at recovery.
here is the last_kmsg: (i need more than 10 post to post links.......fuuu!) (paste(dot)ubuntu.com/10341700/) (it has some block errors because i was forced to do a hard reboot)
Here is the full post for this port: (i need more than 10 post to post links.......fuuu!) Google: [WIP] Ubuntu touch for OnePlus One - OnePlus Forums site:forums.oneplus.net

Did you solve the issue and if so, how?
Thanks!

I'm currently trying to get it working on Note 3 and also stuck on this problem for some days.
The built-in adbd seems to be libary shared with some android components, which of course is very uncomfortable for debugging purposes.
We exchange it with a statically linked one and load it from the data partition right after it was mounted.
Ubuntu touch initrd:
Download
Patched adbd to work outside of android environment:
Download
copy adbd to /data/debug/ on your android device
extract the initrd.img:
Code:
gzip -dc initrd.img-touch-0.83 | cpio -id
open scripts/touch and add the following on line 224:
Code:
# Mount the data partition to a temporary mount point
# FIXME: data=journal used as a workaround for bug 1387214

Hey h2o64,
I'm not really an expert, but the last heading in the Porting Guide (can't post the direct link, try porting guide ubuntu touch in u'r preferred search engine ) under Troubleshooting might work?
Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion, as i said, i don't have that much (successfull) experience in porting.
