C for Android

Support:
I was able to get the LXDE Ubuntu GUI shell going on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet.

You are blowing me away with all that you have done!  Great screenshot.

Support:
Unfortunately the LXDE shell was buggy and too frustrating to try and fix. I'm now running the BackTrack5 image. (Ubuntu ARM 10.04 LTS) The BackTrack5 project maintains the repository not Ubuntu for the distribution. It looks like a great platform for my Android development.









BackTrack 5 ARM installed package list

Note The FireFox example shows the true screen geometry as intended. (thanks Linux Autoloader) From what I know at the moment, BackTrack ARM has only known to work on the Motorola Zoom tablet. The SGT2_10.1 may be new territory.

Support:
I have been testing Ubuntu services and Apache running local and the ssh server seem to work fine.



This is an example of connecting to the Ubuntu chroot image via ssh from my laptop. (wireless)

I settled on a VNC client for Android. Jump Desktop (RDP & VNC) costs more than the rest but well worth the $9.99 price tag. It works really well with my Ubuntu chroot image.



On Thursday my Samsung USB & SD Connection Kit should arrive so I can use my mouse with the tablet. (Android/Ubuntu)
