I am operating Ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer Aspire One. I love ubuntu. To me, it is a God send especially out here in West Africa. My dealing with Ubuntu 12.04, it has the ability to recognize any hardware device that is attached to it. Recently, my parent came for a visit, I took both of their Samsung Android cellphones and plug them into my netbook to retrieve some photos from it.
So, I'm in a situation were I want to install ubuntu in my laptop (currently running windows 8) but I don't happen to have pendrives, CDs or the like available. The only "external" device I have with me is a samsung galaxy s2 with a mini SD card in it.
Is it possible to use the phone as a pendrive to install ubuntu from it somehow? (without damaging the phone's OS and data)
I am nut sure where to put this so:
I have an Asus Transformer prime 201 running android 4.1. every time I connect it it connects as a media device. Is there native ubuntu drivers for these? I would very much like stop playing FTP softball with my network and just connect the two via USB.
running ubuntu 10.10
I recently purchased a ASUS 1225C cedar trail netbook.
I don't really want a windows mobile phone, but I kind of have to for work. *sigh*
Anyways, at the moment I have iPhone 4, which as everyone should know, is extremely closed source. So no iTunes, no management of my music. However I am curious, Is the Nokia Lumina 920 a phone that I can easily manage my music on Ubuntu?
Hello all,
I have been using Linux for about a year or so, and have been on Ubuntu since I started. I have recently come into a few extra machines. My main machine is a Dell Mini 9 netbook running Xubuntu 10.04. I also have an older eMachines T3990 with Ubuntu 10.10, and two low-end industrial boxes running Ubuntu Server 10.04 and openBSD 4.7.
I recently find out that Ubuntu would be released on some smartphones and though I would like to test drive this OS on my phone (which is a Samsung Galaxy nexus with Android jellybean 4.2.1) I would like to know if I could switch back to android at a later date as I love the interface.
My phone model was used to demonstrate how Ubuntu functions so there shouldn't be a hardware mismatch.
I was searching for this intriguing things called "Mini PCS", I have seen some with really high performance, and I was wondering their boundaries.
The best ones I have seen so far were:
ODROID-X2
GK802
MK809 II
Minix NEO X5
And well, I have seen that all of those have Android 4.1 or newer as they default O.S, but I have also seen all of those run Ubuntu, in video reviews and text ones.
