It's currently the front page of ubuntu.com so Canonical are definitely
interested in it. As an idea it's certainly got potential but it is going
to need a phone builder to come on board to get anywhere.

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu on android.

2011-06-06 Thread Dave Hanson
Does anyone know of an emulator type application which could run native
Ubuntu programs on my Samsung galaxy s2, running android? Perhaps even a way
to dual boot it to run the desktop edition or maybe meego?

No such thing exists. The closest possibilities are:

1. Port the Ubuntu ARM release to the S2 hardware. Depending on your
definition of fun, that will not be fun.

2. Use a VNC client on the S2 to connect to a normal Ubuntu desktop.

XDA hackers have apparently got Ubuntu,or at least a modern Gnome-based
distribution running on the HTC Desire HD as here:
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/install-ubuntu-on-the-htc-desire-hd/ but
it isn't easy. What applications do you want to run and do they have an
equivalent on Android?

Oh sure. And now even a casual web search turns up several hacked up
phones running Ubuntu. Madness. :)

There are a number of systems around where you can install an ARM
Ubuntu inside a chroot environment, run it with a VNC server as it's
primary X output and then connect to it using an Android VNC client
application.  It is not a particularly fast method but it works.
