Hi,
I've rooted my phone and using jv1.5 adp firmware, during the rooting telnet was working fine without problems, but yesterday i flashed the boot images using information from these forums, and also installed a theme.
but later my phone showed telnet had just been installed, and now won't connect to phone, but standard terminal works, but had to tell it to allow me to use SU.
has anyone else had issues using telnet in the last 2 days on the phone...
thanks
Why are you using telnet? and how are you starting telnet?
I think you are a bit confused on what telnet is and why you needed it originally.
under the original instructions it tells you to use telnet to access the device
- Copy recovery_testkeys.img onto the Micro SD Card.
- Turn the phone on (if not already)
- Type enter telnetd enter to start telnet
- Telnet into the phone with telnet (telnet ipaddress) OR use the telnet application from the market and connect to localhost
- Run the following as root (in telnet)

but noticed today that telnet even though previously installed, states it just been installed after applying a theme and different boot up image
also not confused as to what telnet is, as you it on a daily basis at work under windows
If your phone is already rooted (I assume it is since you are applying themes) you do not need telnet anymore.
As long as you are using a custom firmware it should have root enabled in the shell so using the terminal will work just fine, no need for telnet.
yeh, using the terminal emulator, but couldn't work out why during the rooting process the telnet application worked and could connect to localhost, but now the connection is always refused
It is because you haven't started the telnet server.
Again I think you are a bit confused on what telnet is, how it works, and why you needed it to root in the first place. (and just because you "you it on a daily basis at work under windows" doesn't mean you aren't confused on what it is)

no I am not confused as to what telnet is
i should still be able to use telnet on the phone and enter instructions (similar to how you would with most routers)
if doing enter, telnetd, enter and running telnet still refuses connection, and this has only happened since it advertised it has installed itself a day after already installing to firmware the phone
telnetd shouldn't advertise it has been installed.
Telnet is a protocol, technically it isn't a program, however telnetd is the server program (the kind that probably runs on your routers at boot) but you have to start it from a terminal in linux environments (like the G1)
The program you are trying to install would be a terminal prompt (the client side) this would allow you to connect to any terminal server you have network access to.
As said above you don't know what telnet is, you just think you do. The problem is you are trying to use the security hole (typing commands on the phone to run them as root) that has already been fixed. If you read a little more on how we have root you will find out that you can't just type telnetd anywhere you want. It has to be in a command prompt now because the security hole has been fixed.
this thread has gone off topic, and nothing to do with the original query
on my phone I have Superuser Permissions, Terminal Emulator and Telnet application
I use TE to access the phone to enter the commands via a prompt, but what I was saying was the telnet application you download to phone when doing the process of rooting allowed me to connect to localhost on port 23, which allowed me to enter commands as though I was using TE.
But after rooting, installing JV1.5 ADP, modifying bootimage and installing a theme, the phone reported it had downloaded and installed Telnet again, which I hadn't told it too, and if you then attempt to use it to connect to localhost it always refuses it.
So my question about anyone else having similar issues with telnet application still stands, ie has it reported it downloaded and installed itself again? after completing the rooting would it then prevent the telnet application from telneting to phone on port 23, meaning you can now only use terminal emulator? and can I easily remove the application without affecting terminal emulator?
thanks
It shouldn't download and install it self again without you helping or the rom you using having it built in.
I told you above and again you have to start the telnet server before you can use the telnet client. It isn't that hard to understand and if you really can't understand it then maybe you need to start looking into something else.
Telnet is not needed for terminal emulator.
Again I said it above you don't know what telnet really is. You don't understand server/client or protocols. Please google telnet and look for the wikipedia page and read about the protocol, the servers, and the clients.

I know it shouldn't download and install again, this is my point for some reason it did and i'm not sure why and this is why I asked the question.
There is no need for you to constantly go on and flaming me by stating that I know nothing about telnet, this, that or the other. You don't know me from adam and I don't know you.
I do know what telnet is, it allows communication between 2 devices via CLI, and allows remote configuration of systems.
All I wanted to know was if this had happened to others, a simple answer of yes or know would have sufficed...
Wow, this got off topic quickly. I don't see why you'd need to assume he doesn't know what telnet is, neoobs. Just sounded like he had a problem and asked if anyone else is experiencing the same occurance. Personally, I prefer using telnet over the TE, for the simple fact, that I don't like looking at the bright blue screen.
In response to the original question, I haven't had anything download and install itself again. I have had the connection refused after starting the telnet daemon on several occasions, but that was due to either the Google servers syncing in the bg, or the browser or Market doing something.
Why don't you just uninstall and reinstall telnet?
EDIT: I can't post to XDA due to the fact that i just signed up for an account, but look at fards' copy of my post to see how to install Ubuntu on your Dell Streak
Here's Pats Post on modaco;
although it would be nicer to keep development discussion to just one thread, the more constructive input the better
Hello All,
I'm attempting to natively port Ubuntu and/or Debian to the Streak. With it being such a powerful device there really is no reason it SHOULDN'T be running a “desktop” operating system. However, implementing his is quite a difficult task, so if any and everyone's help would be very much appreciated.
In the mean time, this is my first guide on how to get ubuntu running piggyback on the Dell Streak. After quite a while (and numerous different trials), I have found that this is the easiest way to get Ubuntu Mobile up and running fast. All commands can be done through either ADB shell or the terminal emulator on the phone.
This was *NOT* done entirely by me, but is a culmination of the effort of lots of people in the android community. I just modified it so that it would work on the Streak.
**This Installation DOES NOT install Linux natively, and as such is should not be destructive to your Android system, however i take absolutely no responsibility for anything that happens and you do this COMPLETELY at your own risk**
Here is how to do it:
1) Root your phone. There are plenty of guides on how to do it, so find one and get root access on your phone.
**YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT IT.**
2) Download Ubuntu Mobile Bundle: http://uploading.com/files/bbm6b311/ubuntu.zip/
This contains an image of the filesystem as well as other necessary scripts to get it working.
2) Busybox - Install Titanium Backup from Android Market - if you press the "Problems" button it will install Busybox on your phone for you (Feel free to uninstall Titanium after this is done). This is the fastest and most pain free way to install busybox on the streak that i know of for now (the other ways of doing this ARE NOT fun...)
3) On your SD card's root directory, create a folder called ubuntu and extract all files in the ubuntu mobile bundle there.
4) Replace the bootubuntu executeable file in the ubuntu directory with mine, found here http://www.mediafire.com/?fi011w4fbmymw3y
5) Unmount phone from computer. ADB and Android Terminal will not work if the phone is mounted.
5) Download a terminal from the Android Market - I used Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator (android market search: terminal) but anything similar should work the same
CODE
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
6) Ignore any errors thrown up by ubuntu.sh. From this point, all that is needed to boot ubuntu is just to enter this:
CODE
Code:
bootubuntu
To start ubuntu from now on, this is all you need to do.
You should now have ubuntu working on your laptop, and while it DOES connect to your phone's internet sources, it DOES NOT yet have a graphical interface.
Here is how to add one:
1) Update the system with the following commands in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
The first one updates the package lists, the second one downloads updates to the system itself.
2) Install TightVNC in ubuntu:
CODE
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
3) Configure TightVNC:
CODE
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 800x480
For security purposes, it is recommended that you assign a password to your VNC server when asked.
4) Download Android VNC Viewer from the market
5) Configure Android VNC Viewer:
Change the port to 5901 and type in your password that you entered before.
Other Problems
There appears to be a bug with the X window server sometimes refusing to connect to VNC. DO NOT change any settings on Android VNC Viewer, instead open a terminal and run the folloring command:
CODE
Code:
rm -R /tmp/.X11-unix
What Does Not Work – Will Try To Fix
Keyboard from Android VNC Viewer
Shutdown – Does Nothing
Reboot
Log Out
Native Install
I hope you guys enjoy this, and I can't wait to get your feedback.

there was a thread about this but it wasnt work on me. now i am downloading and i will inform you again
what is the address for vnc ?
OMG! Could that be any slower on the download?
EDIT:
That sounded totally ungrateful - sorry!
Thank you very much for this
yeah works fine without problems.
it is better from g1 but not as well as a netbook. so only experimental use i think
I connected to the loopback 127.0.0.1 on 5901 and it worked - haven't seen how to connect to it remotely though
Edit:
Reading is fundamental - I can connect to it form another machine
now to fix the keyboard issue
in terminal emulator there is a note : localhost:1 vnc could work properly so i connect with only port and password.
is it possible to install jolicloud since its an ubuntu based system?
Newbie questions, sorry....
Before to try this port, just some maybe stupid questions for you:
- Still working the phone function?
- Is it easy to go back to standard or Steve Streaks Roms?
- Are there lack of drivers for bluetooth, gps, audio, wifi, etc?
Thanks.
No your missing the point here, this isn't an OS separate to android. Think of this as an app it runs on top of the android system. Also this is very experimental most features would be limited and no ubuntu can't be used as an smartphone os -No phone...

1) Ubuntu does not replace android, and the UI only runs in a VNC server, so you can switch back and forth between ubuntu and the phone app (or angry birds?)
2) I installed mine on top of DJ Steve's 1.8.1 rom... It's not native, so it only runs on top of android instead of replacing it
3) Haven't tried audio yet, but it should work (let me know how it goes)... internet connectivity works and provided you have an internet connection enabled in android you can use tools like APT or Firefox in ubuntu... only problem is keyboard is a bit wonky...
For those who had trouble figuring out how to set up the VNC, here is a picture of my VNC configuration on my phone. If you find out the phone's IP address you should even be able to VNC into it from your computer (if your on the same wifi network)
Also, openoffice.org

Is anyone actively attempting to get Ubuntu running native?
audio not working
keyboard not working
also lots of lags.

Yes, i'm looking into it, but it's quite an uphill battle in order to get it working. I'll let everyone know when we make some progress.

cause you are running 2 operating systems at the same time
But seriously, if ubuntu can run native (no android in the background) then the lag would be gone, and (if set up right) audio and keyboard would work.

Getting error
Hi all after passing command for booting ubuntu I get a error chroot can't find /bin/bash folder or directory missing

Im wondering if I install a rdp server instead of vnc if I can get remote audio working.
Ill post with whatever results i get once I'm done waiting 2 hours for the ubuntu image to download.
As for lag. I had a n900 running @600mhz and was doing a chroot into ubuntu and it ran fine, but it used xpyher not vnc. Is there any embedded X servers for android yet? (I highly doubt it)
data requirement for updating GUI pkg of Ubuntu
Can any body tell me size of the data required to update to gui ......as i m not using wi -fi i hv to stick on gsm data usage which is limited in my plan
Very cool!
I had lots of trouble rooting my 2.2.2, but finally got it done by running Gingerbreak twice in a row on a cleanly re-started Streak.
Thanks for a fun gig!
Hi!
I installed the VNC Server app (droid VNC server) and I am not trying to connect to it over USB.
I've run the adb commands:
Code:
adb forward tcp:5801 tcp:5801
adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901
I can bring up the web based interface by connecting to http:\\localhost:5801 but the vnc java application (or RealVNC) can't connect to my phone. I have a I5800, running Lestatious 1.8 with Fugomod 2.2 OC.
Has anyone else managed to get this working?
Hi, i was wondering how to connect the android with an ssh client so i can access my tablet from my laptop.
Using the search tool on the Android MArket is hard.
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid&feature=search_result
adb wireless...its in the market and works very well.
I am developing (currently in plan phase ) a framework to allow developers to connect to a remote android machine while working on eclipse.
The idea is, there will be a java program running on the developer's comp, which will behave as an emulator and pass all the adb commands to a remote machine (mac, windows, or linux: over net). There will be another java client app on that remote machine which will receive those commands and give them to the local adb demon (which in turn will give it to the connected android device).
This will allow remote debugging where direct port forwarding is not possible, like solving specific customer's issue.
Does such a framework already exist?
Where can I find the documentation on how to emulate an android device and how does adb demon communicates with the device?
