Comments on Linux Installer STANDARD for Android
★★★★★
Solvd: Mysql eror in chroot, Can't creat IP socket mysql server fails to start when started in linux installer with error message that it can't create IP socket permission denied the solution is to go to the my.cnf configuration, could be in /etc/mysql/my.cnf.. then under [mysqld] user = mysql, back it up by commenting it out #user = mysql, and add user = root, so it will look like this user = root. bind-address can be 127.0.0.1 or commented out to run on all interfaces, then try starting up mysql sever in chroot and it will start with no errors, hope this helps. .....

packages not installing I tried installing gcc using apt-get. giving error 'ldconfig' not found in PATH and "root paths should contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin". Linux (Debian Wheezy) installed properly without any issues. Installed system working fine. ------- Now added following in .bashrc and installed gcc fine. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin -------
★★☆☆☆
Completely broken Not sure if kitkat is the issue but this app constantly gives errors at mount. Will not mount the loop file that it says it formatted correctly.
★★☆☆☆
Screwed Up Smartphone Well there is no proper documentation of installing it as well what about uninstall part.I did same as described on home page for removing it and I could not find those 2 mentioned shell script files also its way too dangerous to play with this application and 99% chances it will create issues like bricking cellphone or boot looping so better not to use this tool on new handsets.I would like to see any proper uninstall method of this tool step by step.I used both standard and advanced version and both sucks.my phone Motorola Fire XT 540,2.3.5 keep rebooting even after I have deleted all instances of it.guide me what to modify in File-System so it stops rebooting again n again. in advanced version it was not allowing for apt-get update and dist-update because of misconfiguration in DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf you need to manually edit them so via GUI of advanced installer you can use apt-get update and dist feature.most simplest method is open terminal emulator- echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf also those GUI X tools not working,am not able to install GNOME or KDE Environment.repositories screwed up or what.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't get past "Validating Packages" I set it up and let it go for hours but the installer never got past "Validating Packages"

This application will allow you to install a complete Debian distribution in your Android device. Based on chroot, it will perform a standard debootstrap and install a legacy Debian so that you can install, and run any classic Linux command, tool, daemon or service.
The package has few limitations; it is not restricted to Debian; we already offer the choice to use Ubuntu, and will add more distributions in close future. Each distribution is available in several tastes (stable, testing ...). It will not require to reboot; chroot is run inside Android. Installation can be done on any storage device, either on SD card, or inernal memory; no need to repartition any thing, run mkfs or fdisk. We do with what you let use. If you have almost nothing, the package will manage with almost nothing; if you can afford for a large ext4 partition on your SD card, the package will be happy to use it.
It will allow you to install all classic LAMP services like Apache, MySql, PHP, Samba, Netatalk, or just any classic Linux tool like vim, xterm, aterm, Abiword, Firefox, dillo, wget, cron, Perl, Python ... just everything.
Package utilisation will require a rooted device.
Reasons to install this package can not be listed. Just too many: want a cron daemon ? want to have gcc inside your phone ? want to recompile some kernel driver because the legacy Android driver for your Wi-Fi card has is bogus or limited ? want to use vim, or the real full featured desktop ls, ip, nmap, or top commands ? this package will give you all this for free, and much much more.
Requierments: - an Android device based on some Linux kernel - a rooted environment - 300M free space That's all.
Only 50MiB to download for a basic Debian, and down to 180MiB space used if you select the Directory method.
Optionnal registration on our website, http://android.galoula.com/LinuxInstall/Register.php , will allow you to use advanced management features, and install package from within the application interface. You will not need to type any strange command in any terminal. And you will be able to make some services start automaticly at phone boot, and/or application start.
The interface have been completely redesigned, and the English language have been rewritten. Any one who feels like translating is welcome to contact us. Even the French language part should be re-translated from English.
