Full debian on WebTop - Idea #316

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
We all know that there is no webtop in the Ba2tF cyanogenmod build. However, 
I'm trying to put a full debian using chroot. I installed X packages, lxde, vnc 
server, etc. Actually, debian works fine as a VNC server, but i wish to start 
up X using the hdmi output. Is it possible using the last Ba2tF build? 

Thank you guys!

Well, I guess you could install a VNC client from the market and use HDMI 
mirroring

I have been thinking about this: I was going to post that there was an X server 
runniong in the background, but I just checked and it isn't. BUT I know I have 
seen it before, under CM7, so I don't know what it was.

I wish I had time to play about with this: getting a full Debian running 
through HDMI would be fantastic!

Mmm.. what about that idea - we need use the same way as in official webtop.
X starts with android and when detecketed hdmi  - it starts.
But.. we need speshilal xserver. 
And for first - we need to use gento - it has hardfp - grate speed.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm from russia

The issue I had was with the HDMI orientation being stuck in portrait. I used 
the Xoom Ubuntu chroot mod with android vnc just fine after a few edits to the 
setup packages. and it works on cm7 and cm9. fyi webtops will never be "part of 
the rom" it has to be a addon due to the img size and requirements for install. 
I am working on a ubuntu version and will post info if needed in a new xda 
thread when I am ready to release. Honestly this is a separate effort/project 
all in it's own to build/maintain a full linux release as a addon.
