Just wanted to say that xda deleted all my threads on this, ! guess creating more than 1 thread on a device is spam, they also deleted my account, I think they are very bad at running a good site.. I have heard of other developers who get banned and their stuff taken, all info here is from open gpl language and open source free to the public. Also this image has been created by me. XDA forum needs some better operators.

ubuntu.img


Copy ubuntu.img to /sdcard/ubuntu.img

Code: 
adb push ubuntu.img /sdcard/ubuntu.img

create a script called linux:
Code: 
#!/system/bin/sh
su -c "/system/xbin/linux.sh $1"

Code: 
adb push linux /system/xbin/linux

create a script called linux.sh:
Code: 
#!/system/bin/sh
(
export busybox="/system/xbin/busybox"
# If $BINDS does not exist, then done of the others are set iether.

You do realize that there is an app that automates all those scripts right? Complete Linux installer is what I've seen. Haven't tried it yet but you should!:p and this also works with the latest Ubuntu, and lxde etc. Can be installed. Lxde really makes for a smoother experience, especially on mid range phones. I should be releasing a video soon on how to do this soon, please like it! :)
