How to install Ubuntu on your Android device

[@menfie]

iOS users can install Ubuntu on their device too...

[@menfie]

You need an untethered jailbreak which we (sadly) don't have at the moment to dualboot Linux and iOS... Check out: www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/IDroid But if you want to emulate it (just like how they do it in this video): github.com/Enthri/iBox-2

@Nonsense Manjaro More like, "WHY!?" As an amateur Linux fan, I see Apple to be the polar opposite! Their idea of "User-Friendly" is lots of restrictions and confinements. I had very frustrating memories with my iPod Touch and iTunes. In fact, iTunes caused more harm to my Windows than all of the torrents and viruses combined. I still use Windows, but as a separate partition for Steam games and my Alienware systems.

Impressive how someone created an app that actually installs and runs a linux distro (in a virtual machine I am guessing) on the phone. Im impressed, really

[@zeacons957]

its not a virtual machine its running on the android kernel which is just the linux kernel but modified for android

[@waynestewart1919]

Cool concept. However it does not appear to be running "bare-bones" on the phone as the video title suggests. Rather it seems to be running in a container on the phone and remoted into via VNC. This would cause performance issues due to the overhead of running virtualized. Lemme know what you think of my synopsis. I only wish to provide food for thought.

[@ruchitmicro8409]

now the question is can I run android emulator on top of this ubuntu

[@ThatJay283]

I thought I was installing ubuntu not linux emulator

[@user-tm3fz7qx3s]

That's what disappointed me.

[@okdoomer620]

It's not emulated though. It runs on the same kernel as android, alongside it. It has poor graphics because it doesn't connect to the screen directly but you have to do it via a "remote desktop connection" to itself... It's also different from ubuntu on a normal desktop or laptop, because your phone doesn't have a x86 architecture... So some software is not available and you'd need to compile it from source code. Honestly it's more like a demo like this, but not really usable as a daily driver, because it's super laggy. You could run a lag free minecraft server on it, or nextcloud or something... But to really use it, you'd need to get the display to work properly, then it would feel normal.

[@n.lightnin8298]

No its like a VM but umbuntu has a tablet and phone distros so I'm like wtf???

[@okdoomer620]

@@n.lightnin8298 It's like a VM in the sense that you run it parallel to another OS. From a technological point it's different, there is no virtualization going on. It runs directly on the processor, and that's pretty much all you all you get, because ubuntu doesn't support all the other hardware in your phone out of the box, like the screen, all the sensors, sound and so on. Neither does android by the way, the phone manufacturer has to customize it for every single phone.

Maybe if your phone is from 2010 or something. Nowadays, mobile hardware is the prime focus as mobilised hardware becomes the favoured way to go. You'd be surprised, I mean look at the Nintendo Switch, I believe it is pretty much similar performance to the Xbox One etc. It's definitely possible.

I know there were Ubuntu cell phones available somewhere in Europe (even Firefox OS phones in South America at one point). Before the Android fanboys shout at me and say 'Android is Linux', I say 'Blasphemy!!!'. Android has a Linux kernel but everything else is so loosely based on true Linux that it might as well not be considered Linux. Plus I want full control over my device without Google forcing me to bow down to their disgusting invasion of privacy tactics. There has to be a way while still having service through a provider.

It wont take more than 4GB and i think u cant make phone calls.

[@aRoamingDuck]

antavent if you don't know what Ubuntu is, Linux or even Unix then this might not be something you would care to try. Essentially this; Android is built on a Linux kernel, meaning it's a Linux distribution. This tutorial essentially runs another Linux distribution through a VM that is standalone from your phones OS. How ever much storage you grant the VM will be set aside to the VM, like a standalone app. The purpose of doing this is to have a Classic GNU like desktop experience on android through an Ubuntu VM. So no u can't call/text, access the Google play store, many hardware devices probably wouldn't work, performance wouldn't be to great either since it's on a VM. I don't know what the purpose of this is really, besides being fun to try, or maybe as a potential lite desktop like experience from your phone

Misleading... No mention of the GNU operating system, of which Linux is just a component. All you are doing is to install GNU userland on top of the main GNU kernel (which is Linux).

Just out of curiosity could this be downloaded onto a Window's lumia 925?? If i thought i could revive this old phone with Ubuntu I'd do it.. Any suggestions greatly appreciated..

Completely skipped the unlocking instruction, making it a useless video for half the viewers, who will certainly NOT have a straightforward unlocking process.

I have a rooted samsung tab4 I'm guessing not enough storage space? Because i get >>>deploy

[@roscoethanina3011]

Hey wiz kids, here's some fruitful knowledge for ya, the apple and android platforms are one in the same! Yea theres diff stuff u can do on 1 u cant on another but when it comes down to it, it's all on the same exact platform. So buying an iPhone bcuz u thinks it's better, u just blew money.

I hate the title of these type of videos, they make people forget/don't discover than linux is 100% compatible with ARM architecture without virtualization.

What I really want is to be able to install and run windows 10 free on my s8. I know you can get the subscription based windows 10 on it, but I have a copy of Windows 10 I haven’t used yet. Why would I pay a monthly fee for a virtual copy when I have one already?

A bit disappointing that this came from an article on how to install ubuntu on your smart phone, but didn't actually cover actually installing other than a layered syatem akin to a shitty VM evironment that would have little to no valuable functionality, and didn't even cover the process of natively installing ubuntu which is actually possible. So aka, same exact article that 50 other people have written. Kind of annoying people just copy other peoples ideas anymore instead of offering anything of value.

Stuck at third step in vnc app, I'm trying to connect with localhost:5900 but app says 'The port on which the computer is listening for a connection couldn't be contacted' any solutions..?

[@dragosn4192]

I put Privileged users to root, but when I go back it change for android:aid_inet android:aid_sdcard_rw android:aid_graphics Please, how can I solve this ?

[@SidTheGeek]

Do you need mouse and keyboard is it ?then maybe the whole purpose of this becomes pointless

[@sijorojasjrchannel5340]

Can make a video "Install Linux Touch On Vivo Y81i" ? I'm still using it but it's system more and more became slow 🤣

[@gabrieltofvesson8164]

Haven't seen the vid yet. Lemme guess... Download Ubuntu and set a mount point for its image or something, then chroot into it and set up VNC. Finally, VNC into the chrooted dist with an app

Damn, i though hacking linux onto my chromebook was impressive

[@vinson3725]

That IS impressive. I tried it on my C202SA-YS01, it said DeviceEncryption(SystemAdministrator) reinstalling Chromium 71.97.0332(Stable)...

[@joebonsaipoland]

Or you could use Citrix Receiver to connect your phone to a full desktop and apps in the cloud! Wtf people! It’s a phone

[@freegiftd9518]

I tried that a long time ago and it killed my SAMSUNG MOBILE NOTE 2. WHO WILL PAY ME MY DEVICE NOW!!

[@usernametaken3098]

well thats cool, but this existed in 2012 aswell, nowdays limbo app can run windows on android without root or vnc.
