How to Install Ubuntu on Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Tablet!

[os2sa2va2]

hi, A quick question here, What version of ubuntu are you running?

[wwwkrimturcom]

Nice video!. But if needed this kind of tricks I would choose Crunchbang instead of Ubuntu, it is based on ubuntu but has very lite window manager called openbox & it's much faster, almost like android itself

[TheAndroidJoc]

I love android and I love linux. I really appreciate your bloggs. About 6 months into android w/ my evo4g. Still love it. Followed you on the subject. Your cool!

[suhairi90]

galaxy 7.0 can or not?

[pier11francesco]

Work on iconia tab 10.1"?

[zedomax]

@pier11francesco yes.

[simme808]

How is the speed?

[jes22234]

When I do adb shell in command prompt is says "device not found". How do i fix this? I have all the downloads in the correct places and my Transformer Prime is plugged in with USB debugging enabled.

[santuka18]

why you're using windows 7???

Haha FAIL!

Ubuntu rocks!! =)

[gtachile100]

@santuka18 ... I don't think so,Well, i don't want to get in a war.

(I have 4 disributacions of linux,and i use more W7.)

[santuka18]

@gtachile100 It's all right mate. I don't want to get into a war either haha. I was just jocking =)

But, anyway, I really like ubuntu and I have to recon that W7 is a great OS.

Cheers!

[antmiu2]

hey @zedomax would this work on a Motorola Atrix 4G? how so?

[zungaloca]

Not native

[mrburtugey]

Does it work with Chinese Tablets like wm8650.....

[zedomax]

@mrburtugey yes so long as you root and install busybox.

[aviad192800]

?do ubuntu spuert touch

(sorry i'm not got at english)

[edtoptop]

1:33 That's what she said.

[zungaloca]

[cyberlord64]

what if i want to completely remove the android os and install ubuntu on the blank tablet. is that possible? As far as i know android uses linux kernel so how come noone still did this?

[ImAKillZoneFan]

Ok is this just "booting" Linux or actually installing it on the tab?

[CamCam8771]

Do you by any chance have a mirror download for the ubuntu(.) zip? Download speed is limited to ~20 KB/s. Which will take 7 to 10 HOURS to download. i bet that you will reply to this faster than that download completes...

[GliitcheD]

if you install wirelessadb off the market, there would be no need for the usb cable to connected. it works well on my nexus one, cant wait to update to a galaxy tab 10.1 :D how fast does linux run on the tab?

[heychuall]

I can get all the way to the step where I "bootubuntu" but I get sh: bootubuntu cannot execute - permission denied... I know the tab is rooted and I used "su" before and had no problems. anyone have any suggestions?

[GameXmaniac]

can you install microsoft office on ubuntu and does it work well

[DPthePcgamer]

@GameXmaniac yes if u use wine (windows api implenter) to run it.

there can be some bugs but it should work. (you might look for a tut on youtube how to install it using wine)

[moabitrockt]

flash is a plugin, not an add on

[privetikon]

Is it support any devices? Mouse, keyboard, joystick?

[zedomax]

@privetikon thru bluetooth yes, all of the above.

[TheSirofpatrick]

could someone please explain how this changing karmic to lucid works, by typing vi /etc/apt/.. I just get a bizarre picture.

[ZeTaEXiSTeNZ]

You're hardly installing it if you have to run VNC, unless I missed something?

[ZwingertStudios]

@ZeTaEXiSTeNZ ubuntu is running natively on the the device but you are unable to access the display, so you use vnc to see the ubuntu display.

[AlchemistShaman]

You need to change Karmic to "Lucid" in the file located at data/local/ubuntu/etc/apt/sour­ces.list in order for this to work correctly. The apt-get command won't work if you leave it as Karmic because that was discontinued months ago, so you won't be able to download the updates or install TightVNCserver until you change that file to Lucid

[themateushenrique17]

Auto send USB devices to Ubuntu?

[themateushenrique17]

Work on Acer Iconia Tab A500?

[tysonj96]

Your pretty awesome, I love how you were figuring out stuff while you were making the video.

[AlchemistShaman]

I'm guessing maybe the big problem why I can't get the updates to install or the VNCserver might be because I'm using GalaxyTask as my ROM (yes that's TASK) and the file system isn't quite the same, so even in the bootubuntu file it's trying to reference directories that don't even exist, and that messes up the whole ubuntu OS I'm guessing. Sucks because everything else is installed correctly, including busybox, but when I do VNCserver install it says it can't fetch file

[AlchemistShaman]

This doesn't work for installing the vncServer anymore! It says the file is not found at the location it tries to download it from. Please tell me where I can download the "TightvncServer" so I can actually use the vnc viewer program and load the ubuntu GUI desktop! It sucks being so close with ubuntu installed and taking up over 2 gigs of memory and I can view it because the link to the VNCserver program is outdated!

[BANNERTM]

Torrent link for ubuntu please!

[darkdog4440]

Hey man I have a question, as you prob know because your a beast with android ics is comming to the tablet soon. I have followed your root vid and I am really loving my root its awesome. I am rocking the starburst rom with the overclock kernal. Will I need to do anything special to upgrade or do I just need to click software update?

[Anim4049]

does this would remove my warranty for the device (I am running samsung galaxy tab 10.1)

[BANNERTM]

Will run on this one some apps for ubuntu? For ex gcc or something else?

[PeekyBooo]

Can't expect much fom VNC even if from localhost.

So wish some company will bring out a tablet that is latest chip tech that allows installation of Linux distributions.

[astral913]

why are you using a vnc viewer. that is creating the lag in your animation.

[austinkilduff]

@astral913 It installs Ubuntu in the background of your device, so he had to install a VNC server on it through command prompt and use a VNC viewer in Android to access it.

[DAngotti22]

so im now in command prompt, everything worked perfectly buuut when it tells me to type "bootubuntu" i type bootubuntu and it says

/system/bin/sh: boot: not found

..ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?

[AlchemistShaman]

@DAngotti22 You probably weren't in the ubuntu folder, Make sure by typing the "ls -l" command and it should show you the bootubuntu file is there. It can't run a file that isn't in the /system/bin/sh folder so you have to be in the ubuntu folder for it to work. In other words, the ubuntu booter wasn't installed in the main system folder, so you can't just type that command anywhere you please

[AlchemistShaman]

@DAngotti22 But even if you do get the bootubuntu file to run, you still won't be able to install the VNCserver because it's no longer at the specified location that the installer tries to access it from.

[burstpipes]

Try Ubuntu 11.10 its for ARM as well now :)

[oliverdacracker]

does this work with other tablets

(android)

[zedomax]

@oliverdacracker yes works on most android tablets/phones that is rooted with busybox installed.

[anupvasudev]

Can this be done on galaxy note?

[fahadabid]

why not use a linux for lower system requirements like puupy or damn small linux?? Will it run faster ans better ??

[Jamessharpshooter]

OMG... You are a genius

[vaibzzz123]

can i play minecraft on this?

[eslysama]

can works with another linux distro, like openSUSE?

[zedomax]

@eslysama not yet, you would have to figure it out yourself, its possible.

[eslysama]

asians can do everything! not bad...

[thejoesteiger]

Do you have to use Windows?

[bulldogbateson]

uhm, my question, why did you install it in sdcard and not /sdcard/external_sd/ ? because sdcard is not the sd card you put in the sd card slot

[zedomax]

@bulldogbateson doesn't matter you can use either.

[bulldogbateson]

@zedomax when I put it in external_sd it actually changes the path to /sdcard/external_sd, I tried modifying the files to reflect the new path but it does not work, any suggestions?

also if put it in /sdcard/ it is actually the onboard sdcard which I do not wish to use!

[bulldogbateson]

@zedomax actually figured it out, to use the external sd, I changed the references /sdcard/ to "/sdcard/external_sd/ in the ubuntu.sh AND the bootubuntu files using notepad, the first time I did that, I had forgotten one of the references. im just posting it in case It can help someone :)

[klyd971]

SEEN ALL YR VIDS for UBU install:

1-root tab with rom manager

2-Backup tab with rom manager(if rom listed and no issue with Cwm recovery)

3-Install busybox zip.file on tab root dir(restart tab in recovery mode IF POSSIBLE)

4-Get ADB file on yr C:

5-Get Ubuntu on tab root directory and follow steps on "youtube.com/watch?v=agYEOefFf­to&feature=relmfu"

Guess it works well for well-known brands but in europe, we also have MEMUP tab, not even listed in Backup rom.

Ubuntu not possible on any Androtab.

[brandoncormier4]

i assume this is also possible on the eee pad transformer?

[zedomax]

@brandoncormier4 yes same process!

[hoshi411]

Howcome you still have the adroid buttons on the bottom?

Are you just running ubuntu as a virtual machine? That's gonna be so slow!

[darkdog4440]

@hoshi411 r u serious watch the video idiot

[alexthehaitian]

Cool video. I would use ssh instead of VNC.

[Brock2DotOh]

can you update it to Ubuntu 10.10? if so how?

[ApplicantQuisling]

09:11

"Now the question is... will it blend?"

[erebusparcae]

@zedomax any chance that you can install a windows7 OS? just curious...

[alexthehaitian]

@erebusparcae He's using VNC to connect to Ubuntu Desktop OS. I think you can do the same for Windows OS

[JAYJAY1787]

can u do a video on how to for xoom

[sorjoao]

Alguém já instalou no tablet da orange

[Yeso88]

i can see you...

[drewwalton1270011]

@LiteCastStudios Your video has NOTHING to do with installing Ubuntu on an Android device.

@zedomax: This is an awesome tutorial!

[xnordic]

can i connect with usb, like running Ubuntu on my pc through my phone? THAT WOULD BE COOL! :D

[xnordic]

@zedomax or anyone else, i type ifconfig but 127.0.0.1 shows up instead of the ip-address.. help i relly want to connect with pc



[smrtgyzzz]

would like to install ubuntu on Acer A500, can I use this process to do it also...

[zedomax]

@smrtgyzzz should work fine on a rooted A500.

[pr0csplayer96]

This isn't called "Install Ubuntu", it's called boot Ubuntu on Android and connect via VNC. Installing Ubuntu (or any other OS) on Android means either replacing Android or dual-booting (with whole installation process).

[thejoesteiger]

What's the newest Ubuntu that can be used?

[zedomax]

@thejoesteiger Natty but you lose Flash, Lucid has Flash support, I am trying that one right now.

[thejoesteiger]

@zedomax You should try Natty with 2D Unity. BTW, have you tried using Ubuntu's onscreen keyboard?

[alexthehaitian]

@zedomax I do have a tutorial showing how to unable all 3rd party plugins and codecs on any version of Ubuntu Desktop without going to any websites.

Flash, Java, encrypted DVD, everything will work.

[dyrby76]

Thank you for the great videos. Unfortunate this didn't work for me. I downloaded the adb and the ubuntu you linked to. When I do the 'sh ubuntu.sh' step I get more errors than you: ubuntu.sh[2]: modprobe: not found, ubuntu.sh[4]: clear: not found. ubuntu.sh[20]: cp: not found. Typing 'bootubuntu' gives me 'bootubuntu: not found". Typing './bootubuntu' gives me: cannot execute - Permission denied. Typing 'sh bootubuntu' gives: mknod: not found, losetup:not found. Mount: invalid argument. etc

[dyrby76]

@dyrby76 Busybox was required. I didn't get that from this video, but it is mentioned in your full steps of how to do it. Thanks!

[kawaiiultraneo]

ROFL!!

Samsung = A poor person's tablet..

[surfcrazee789]

dude Im one of the guys that wants to see this on eee pad transformer Im subcribing to ur channel so i see that vid right when it comes out. please do the vid and make it simple!! :)

[nitturo]

01:03 - why is windows-vista (or 7) being used in this tutorial? if i don't use or never used ms-windows in my life, how can i do it? what a confusing tutorial....

[kickurd]

Is it really that slow or does it just look that way? So cool though, that it does work. Did u try dual boot 2?

[Cruzer18Blade]

@zedomax

can I try this on samsung galaxy Sl i9003 ?

[Jonhern]

will this process work on the xoom? thanks for the video.

[alextamulis]

Max, when you get the Asus Transformer, could you do videos on how to root it and how to install Ubuntu on it as well? Besides, do you think it's possible to do a dual boot android-ubuntu? Thanks, dude. I have the TF and I absolutely love it. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is an amazing device as well. Thanks for the videos.

[zedomax]

@alextamulis will do, transformer is on its way to me as we speak!



[ericc191]

Thanks for the how to! I'm going to do this tomorrow night. Thumbs upped!
