    The Linux OS is not stopped with the “vncserver-stop” command. Just the VNC service is stopped within the OS. To properly stop Linux, you need to do a “shutdown -h now” command, or less properly, stop the Termux session aka close the app. Also, VNC viewer android app does not create servers. It is a client that creates connections to servers. VNC can be installed on any Linux machine and the visual session can then be viewed on any machine with a VNC viewer. Overall though, great vid.

      In this you can't use shutdown now, System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.

      I usually like his videos but this one was a little too deep down the rabbit hole as most don't deal with CLI. Has anyone looked into how it is running the Distro seems like you could make some sort of launcher to change input of the screen or maybe just change the output to USB-C HDMI

    Curious to see how this performs compared to using an Amazon EC2 distro.. have been using RDP to remote into a Linux instance. I would imagine the lag would be significantly lower considering it's running on localhost rather than on a remote machine, although I'm still concerned about using VNC viewer as opposed to having something run natively.
    Also it blows my mind that Termux basically can just run Linux flat out.

    • @-Yousof-
      @-Yousof- 10 месяцев назад +2

      On modern phones, running natively is way better than RDP. And yes, performance improves when the VNC step is eliminated. But having termux run in the background while VNC takes the foreground makes it subject to battery savings, lower performance and sudden death. These issues were resolved in NOMone Desktop. No VNC altogether, all components integrated into one app that runs in the foreground, and removed the hassle of spinning off your own desktop environment. It's almost one click linux.

    Have this configured on my Samsung S6 tab works well for some minor dev work with access to some of the basic Linux tools, including a version of Microsoft code(very cool!), however this is NOT a full blown Linux operating system, it's essentially a chroot on steroids ( more accurately called proot) you can only install linux apps that are complied for aarch/arm64 architecture which is limited today(that may change with devices adopting more arm processors) with Linux in dex dead, this is the closest alternative.

    Once I have seen this tutorial + the fact you use manjaro as well I immediately knew this is the time I have to commit again to learn new things and dedicate time to make it work.

So this first question might be a simple silly one, have you checked your source libraries, make sure they are correct and working to upgrade arm distro. How did you originally install Ubuntu? What repository? Since the recent release of latest Ubuntu, I will look into this myself. There is a new Raspberry Pi distro, so hoping the Arm port is also avail.

      Depend on your hardware and what connection you're using. Lots of samsung phones support ethernet so when you connect your phone using ethernet and vnc it using another device which is connected via ethernet, the limit is only your router's bandwidth. (Not internet, since as long as your devices are under the same public ip, you're actually not using internet). If you're using wifi on both end, the limit is the slowest wifi receiver on either devices, minus around 20% overhead and the distance from your router.

      if u connect it with an optical cable like hdmi there should be no lag. linux and vnc are running on the same system. so its a emulated network connection. connecting it with screen share or any other wireless solution will add some lag

      I am using vnc with xrdp. Once you have hotspot on you can connect to your phone via the ip address assigned to your Termux linux box. I don't require Andronix for it, termux will do everything. Also I am using a low end phone without hdmi support and also do not have any WiFi casting supported monitor, so this is my only option.

    UserLAnd is MUCH easier to setup, and better as a whole. I highly recommend avoiding these "copy-and-paste these commands" applications, and going for UserLAnd, which does everything for you and drops you into a shell right after installing a distro. You can setup VNC and whatever else you'd like from there. Termux by itself is great as well. UserLAnd just builts upon Termux and installs a full-fledged distribution for you.

      Linux on Android works by using the same kernel your device uses. The linux distro and it's applications have to be compiled for ARM and if there's no root, you don't have much interesting stuff to do besides unpriveileged stuff like basic nmap scans. It's still useful but not very much.

      When you start the Termux application it will likely start in the home directory. You can double check this by typing "pwd" into the terminal, the directory should be "*/home". The home directory should contain a shell script (*.sh) (unless you've changed the directory when installing the distro) which is used to start your chosen linux-distro. For me the script is named "start-manjaro.sh". I assume your file should be namned "start-xxxx.sh" where xxxx is your chosen distro name. Check the name by typing "ls" into the terminal to check what files are in the current directory. Then write "./YourFileName.sh". For me it is "./start-manjaro.sh".
      Once you have executed the shell script you should have entered the terminal of the distro. From there just write "vncserver-start" and you should be good to. Don't forget to type "vncserver-stop" before you stop termux to close the port that is used by vnc, otherwise you might need to reboot your device to get the vncserver to work again.
      Tell me how it goes, I'm happy to help.
