I take it you mean Ubuntu in its direct form like the standard Desktop OS ?
If so there is a arm version of Ubuntu Server 14.04 coming out soon but thats a ARMv8 only. Now heres the catch our Tegra Note 7 is based on a Coretx A15 SOC which is ARMv7.
Now the only version of Ubuntu i know that was ported to ARMv7 was Ubuntu 12.04.
There was a Tegra 2 Version of this which you can read about here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100
So its possible, however as of yet the only other option would be Ubuntu Touch but thats not a native ubuntu.
thank you
Thanks for the reply and link , ill have a look and see what i can find , if i manage to get anything done ill post back here

Can you make a thread on instructing how to chroot into ubuntu and run ubuntu on TN7? What applications work on it?

Yes i will make a thread , unfortuneatly i have not tested any applications on it as of yet , i should have the thread ready by sometime tomorrow
Did anyone figure out how to do it ?
I can at least vouch that the Tegra 2 version of Ubuntu worked on my Acer A500. If you can live with the basics, it's cool, but the amount of software available for ARM is minimal. It's also very unfriendly to touch, so you'll need a mouse. I personally can't think of anything I was able to do with it that I wasn't already able to do more easily with Android, so eventually I took it off.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a method to get a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu or Debian runnig on my Advent Vega or HTC Desire. Both devices do not support the chroot-command which is required in the tutorials out there because the system is something like virtualized.
There might could be a tutorial that shows me how to fastboot into that Linux on an ext-Partition or somewhere. I hadn't found it yet but you may know it better than me.
Thanks in advantage,
AndroidChromeOS
believe theres a tutorial over at modaco on how to get ubuntu on the vega
No it isn't. Just how to completeley install it instead of android. Not like it was possible on the G1 :/
i doubt that's possible we can't even run two roms with backing up and restoring. Your best shot is probably a vm style app
No that works. You are emulating the distribution. that's what you can do with chroot. It worked on the Google G1 aka HTC Dream. I had that and I tried that. But with the Vega it does not because of chroot
not that i know of any
Help yourself

You have an option to use the official recovery mode or you can install CWM.

http://myadventvega.co.uk has the official recovery instructions.
Look here
For anyone still following this thread, I should point out that it's quite possible to run a chrooted vm on the vega. I simply followed the instructions in the thread on MoDaCo on this topic.

I spent a lot of time trying it out, with no success. Then I noticed that one of the error messages in the terminal said something like "busybox - unknown option". So I updated my Busybox to the latest version and then the startup script ran with no problems.

Nice one dude. What sort of interface did u use to interact with the OS? Was it a touch interface or did u use a keyboard and mouse. Also, was it possible you output the screen to a monitor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041036 seriously man search
i am using backtrack 5 chrooted on my vega xwindows and vnc as interface . works fine as far as i can see so far
any idea how can i install ubuntu on tab 7.7 natively
What do you mean by "native"? You could try and chroot and then install Ubuntu. This might work, but i have never tried it.

maybe there is some hope in this? (Xda won't let me post links but just google search "ubuntu phone") Ubuntu are releasing a mobile version of their operating system that runs natively on phones. So far they are only developing on the galaxy nexus but there is more to come
There are installers for Debian and Ubuntu in the app store. They run in a chroot environment.
I have tried chrooting... It wasn't that useful...
And that ubuntu phone thing isnt released yet...

the Ubuntu OS has two parts.
platform : not depending on target.
Linux Kernel: depend on target (chipset machine and drivers and HAL )(same as android)
in fact we can use locerra kernel to build Ubuntu rom images when it's released.
but generic kernel that's for pc won't work at all, this an embedded device not generic pc.
Hello Everybody,
I have a crucial question about installing Ubuntu in my TF101 B70KAS40: Could be possible to play in www doesnt matter co
This web uses Applets Java for running card games and other weak games, like chess. Currently, I can´t play using any browser under Android.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Thank you very much for the reponse, I'll try dual boot after holidays
I don't have the answer, but try it, you'll have a real os on board
I used to play with open office, better than all the writing apps on the market... (it was before i flash an EOS nightly rom...).
If your tablet is allready rooted, you should give it a try...
Install openJDK and the icetea browser plugin for java and it should run fine. I use my tablet to program my chatroom, which happens to be written in Java.
kenshin, do you mean that it is possible to install openJDK and icedtea ON android ?
or i missed something ?
Where can we find them ??
TY
Not on android, but if you dual boot Ubuntu and install them on Ubuntu they will run on Firefox that comes with Ubuntu.

ok thank you kenshin1388, i hope i will be able to CHROOT ubuntu at first before planing a dual boot...
If you know an easy tuto to dual boot ubuntu, don't hesitate to share
Anyone else thinks the OP just posted this to get traffic to the website?
Hello Everybody,
Many of you must be familiar with Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu's latest project in the field of mobiles. Now the question is- Is Ubuntu supported on HTC HD2?
The Answer to the question is- Yes. As explained in the Linked video(See Below) by UBUNTU Co-founder, Ubuntu works on all the devices which can run Android. If you're not sure what I am saying, please see the video, seek it to 20:49 if you don't want to watch the whole video. It is based on Android Kernel only.
See the video here- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU
(already Seeked)- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU?t=20m49s
So, I am here with a new challenge, and that is the Porting Of Ubuntu Mobile. I hope you all are ready for it! :good:
I will be waiting for a Native SD Release!

Ubuntu is Linux, Android is Linux, nothing new there. 'Supported' is vague. I didn't see the part in the video where he said, and we will provide drivers and support for your 3 year old phone

NO my friend
Ubuntu is Linux,
Android is JAVA + Linux
it's NOT the same
Here's the toolkit they offer to app developers http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/gomobile/

Yes, but the kernel is similar (Android just misses out ALSA support). Java just provides the UI.
Ubuntu mobile for the Desire is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165711 :good:
OP, i am just wondering u are porting "Ubuntu Mobile" or "Ubuntu Touch"?
You must acknowledge that "Ubuntu Mobile" is for "x86" CPUs, "Ubuntu Touch" is for "ARM" CPUs.
And currently, i want to port this, too. May be u will be faster
is Ubuntu Touch pure linux without dalvik VM? is it better for that?
Yes, currently, Ubuntu Touch is using the base android.
It uses its HAL, and dalvik VM, etc are not needed.
Ubuntu Touch is supposed to run on CM10.1, and currently, i found a source of CM10.1 for HTC HD2.
Compilation is still in progress, i met lots of errors, but lets hope we will success
I am going to update any progress here.
2013-03-11: This log has been created.
2013-03-17: After lots of tries and debugging, CM10.1 has been successfully compiled. No BCMDHD support. I'll try to port it to ubuntu tonight or tomorrow.
2013-03-22: Way to achieve ubuntu on the htc hd2 has been found. Due to my school tests start from today, development will be slow/suspended for about a week.
2013-03-24: Base android has been successfully ported into the HD2, although it is a bit slow/buggy, it is still acceptable.
2013-03-24: UbuntuTouch rootfs OK! No gui yet, need sometime for debugging.
2013-04-03: I just figured out that everything i done was wrong, i should use my custom android-init instead of the old init, debugging for the new init.
R: Ubuntu Mobile - Development
so Ubuntu mobile can't run on HD2? just x86?
are there any differences between the two distro?

Well actually, have u tried searching on how to replace Android os with bodhi?, u could also say the same for the 13.04 Ubuntu desktop as well.... That is of u know how to change the repos, update and fix errors. Arch Linux is another option... Been trying to get that one to work but nothing happens correctly smh

i understand there is a difference between arm and x86 architecture but is there anyway to install for example lubuntu or lxle on grouper.
Also there is support for installing all ubuntus befor 13.04 so if i download lubuntu 12.04 is it going to work since it is based on ubuntu?!?
