I'm just curious if anyone has managed to successfully get Ubuntu up and running on their Droid X using something similar to the Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Everytime I've tried running bootubuntu I get something similar to this (even changing the loop):

Code:

mknod: /dev/loop1: File exists<br />
mount: mounting /dev/block/loop1 on /data/local/ubuntu failed: No such device<br />
mount: mounting devpts on /data/local/ubuntu/dev/pts failed: No such file or directory<br />
mount: mounting proc on /data/local/ubuntu/proc failed: No such file or directory<br />
mount: mounting sysfs on /data/local/ubuntu/sys failed: No such file or directory<br />
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1<br />
Setting /etc/resolv.conf to Google Open DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4<br />
bootubuntu: cannot create /data/local/ubuntu/etc/resolv.conf: directory nonexistent<br />
bootubuntu: cannot create /data/local/ubuntu/etc/resolv.conf: directory nonexistent<br />
Setting localhost on /etc/hosts <br />
bootubuntu: cannot create /data/local/ubuntu/etc/hosts: directory nonexistent<br />

umount: can't umount /data/local/ubuntu/sys: No such file or directory<br />
umount: can't umount /data/local/ubuntu: Invalid argument

Running CM7 at the moment and I'm open to the idea that this is impossible to do, *but* I'd like to do it just for the sake of doing it if it is possible.

Not sure if this will be of any help to you, but I was looking into running BT5 in the X and came across this:

Apparently it is running on the Xoom and some have gotten it to work on other devices.

As far as I can tell, you cannot run Ubuntu on the Droid X. I looked into it a while back but the inability to change kernels and the 'efuse' made it virtually impossible.

I won't get my hopes up then, it didn't seem too promising.

I'm trying to look into BT5 but their download site is too slow to get the file without it timing out for whatever reason. I'll keep trying though.
