[Q] Why choose Ubuntu Touch over Android topic

I am wondering why people would want to use Ubuntu Touch over android. I don't see many (if any) benefits of using it over Android.
I see that the section isn't very popular, but I hope someone can answer my question.
Thank you :)

[HOW TO] Android Build Environment on Ubuntu 12.04 topic

So my desktop system died after many years and I just finished building my new system. I stopped cooking ROMs some time ago and it was time to setup my Android build environment again. Last time I did that Google's directions were pretty much straight forward and did not run into any issues. Can't say that for this time, AOSP site needs to update their instructions a bit. I made notes during the process and thought to share them in case anyone finds themselves in a spot like me.

Use this guide as you follow the instructions at the AOSP website and you should be fine. You can copy and paste all the terminal commands.

Initializing a Build Environment - Google's Instructions HERE

Python

Python 2.6 -- 2.7 - Install dependencies before installing Python

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev

---

Download Python

Code:

---

cd ~/Downloads/
wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tgz

---

Extract & Change Directory

Code:

---

tar -xvf Python-2.7.6.tgz
cd Python-2.7.6

---

Install

Code:

---

./configure
make
sudo make install

---

GNU Make 3.81 -- 3.82

Download GNU Make

Code:

---

cd ~/Downloads/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.82.tar.gz

---

Note: If following guide step by step then "cd .." with no quotes from Python-2.7.6 folder

Extract & Change Directory

Code:

---

tar -xvf make-3.82.tar.gz
cd make-3.82

---

Install

Code:

---

./configure
make
sudo make install

---

You most likely can use apt-get install for the Python and GNU Make but I just prefer this way...

Oracle JDK 6

Code:

---

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-oracle
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-set-default

---

Note: Use arrow keys on keyboard to navigate confirmation dialogues. You can use OpenJDK with some tweaks but I prefer to use Oracle JDK 6

Git
sudo apt-get install git

Installing required packages

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
sudo apt-get install zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

---

If you receive:

Code:

---

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Depends: libglapi-mesa:i386 (= 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.7)
                        Recommends: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 (>= 7.2)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

---

Then

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa

---

And

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

---

Note: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 might be causing the issue so you might be able to omit that in the corresponding sudo apt-get install line so you will not need to do the IF/THEN/AND and then the GUI fix down the road. I did not omit and fixed what it broke after reboot. Instructions are provided below to fix what may break.

Continue

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos
sudo apt-get install python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so

---

Reboot system here.

If you boot to blank screen with just flashing cursor then:
reboot
CTRL+ALT+F1 as system reboots to enter command line. Type following command:

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop xorg

---

Reboot when complete. We are not done yet so keep following guide.

Bring up AOSP Guide HERE

Continue from Configuring USB Access
To create /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file type in terminal

Code:

---

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

---

Make sure to follow AOSP instructions on changing "username" to your login name.

Keep following the guide till the end

Make sure to setup .ccache once repo sync (downloading of source) is complete.

When you are done, reboot system. Once booted click on Dash Home (First icon on side bar), if you notice there is nothing in Dash Home then do the following:

Code:

---

mv ~/.local/share/zeitgeist ~/.local/share/zeitgeist.bak
 kill -s TERM `pidof /usr/lib/unity-lens-applications/unity-applications-daemon`

---

Your system is now ready to build AOSP.

Good luck and enjoy!

Ubuntu and the Nexus 10 topic

Hello everyone,

Before you start flaming me for posting a redundant thread, please hear me out.

After bricking my TF300T (had xubuntu installed and had to f*** with partitions..and I f***** it real good) I've decided to get myself a Nexus 10. I've been doing some research on the matter of running Ubuntu Desktop (NOT touch) on it I've seen many tutorials on how to do it I've come across plenty howtos on how to install it on the Nexus 7.

My question is, is it possible to use the same process/images for my brand new Nexus 10? How different are the devices from each other?

I've seen that Canonical has released a Ubuntu Dual Boot Installer compatible with the Nexus 10. Would it be possible to use the Rabbits kernel I used for the TF300T? Also, as far as I've seen Multiboot is only compatible with the Nexus 7.. or have I seen wrong? Did I make a bad purchase and should've gotten an other tablet?

Thanks in advance for your time and help and my advanced apologies for inconveniencing anyone with this thread.

[Q] Need Help! With Ubuntu 13.04 on android topic

So i saw this video of a guy having ubuntu 12.04(pc version) on his phone,he was running the linux server on his phone and at the same time accessing it, using androidVNC . BTW i have a samsung galaxy S 4 (sprint Version ,without knox) Running cyanogenmod 11.0 , android version 4.4.2, the kernel version is 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g5a32c11build04@cyanogenmod #1 Thu Jan 9 21:12:16 PST 2014 .

I checked if my phone is loop compatible using, the following in terminal emulator : zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP , i found it on a webpage , and i got y, that means it is a loop device, but when i ran CompleteLinuxInstaller i got into the following problem

Checking loop device ... FOUND
mount: mounting /dev/block/loop255 on /data/local/mnt failed : Invalid Argument
ERROR: Unable to mount the loop device

but when i did modprobe loop
it didn't find anything :(

so if you can help, me i am not a genius, just tell me the simplest way to fix this.

btw i want to install unbuntu 13.10 i have everything downloaded(Terminal emulator, Complete linux installer, AndroidVNC, and the 3.72gb image file)
