[color=brown][How-to] Install Ubuntu 8.1 in Virtual PC 2007 for iPhone SDK / Android SDK development[/color]

Install Linux in VMWare is rather straight forward but in Microsoft Virtual PC, it will have screen display problem and fail during installation. The following guide describe the steps involved for the installation, the only pitfall is that sound is not working for the virtual machine of Ubuntu in Virtual PC 2007

Requirement:
Windows XP Pro or above
Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 is free, you can download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx

Ubuntu 8.1 is also free
you should download the 32 bit Intel i386 Desktop version
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
MD5 (ubuntu-8-1.10-desktop-i386.iso) = 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03

[color=brown]Here are the steps to install Ubuntu 8.1 in Virtual PC 2007.[/color]

(1) Setup the new Virtual Machine in VPC 2007 and mount the iso image (ubuntu-8-1.10-desktop-i386.iso).

The virtual machine setting is : Harddisk Size 8G (after installation of SDKs and packages of this guide, it will take up about 5G)

Ram 512MB (more ram is not that useful in this VM)

(2) Inside the Ubuntu Install Screen, first Press "[color=red]F4[/color]" and Select "[color=red]Safe Graphics mode[/color]"

(3) Then press [color=red]down arrow[/color] and highlight the menu "Install Ubuntu" ([color=red]highlight only and don't press Enter[/color])

(4) Press "[color=red]F6[/color]" to bring up the "Other Options"
Then type "[color=red]vesa vga=771[/color]" at the end of the option line
Then Press "Enter", the installation will start instantly.

Note: If you want other resolution, you can try say vga=791 instead of vga=771

I did not try all these, some of them might not work. The codes are listed out for reference only.

vga=769 means 600x480 8 bits color
vga=785 means 600x480 16 bits color
vga=786 means 600x480 24 bits color
vga=771 means 800x600 8 bits color
vga=788 means 800x600 16 bits color
vga=789 means 800x600 24 bits color
vga=773 means 1024x768 8 bits color
vga=791 means 1024x768 16 bits color
vga=792 means 1024x768 24 bits color

During Installation just choose your timezone and language, you will be asked for the username and password and remember what you type

I choose English Language because I found out that if you choose Chinese, the default folder name will also be in Chinese which is very odd for me. If you choose English, you can enable the lanaguage support in the desktop and add input method later.

I use sdkuser as username for the installation guide below

(5) After installation, it will prompt to restart. But the restart might not work and you have to manually reset the VM in VPC 2007

(6) Then release the mounted iso image and to reset the VM that is in VPC 2007 menu do Action -> Reset

After you have installed the Ubuntu 8.1 in VPC 2007, you will have to start installation the necessary packages in Ubuntu

The purpose of this virtual machine is to develop apps for iPhone SDK and Android SDK. So it will have
(a) llvm-gcc for iPhone toolchain SDK 2.0
(b) Android SDK
(c) Eclipse IDE
(d) apache 2 websever with php and sqlite3 support (so that you can test some http get/post locally and install your local cydia repository as well)
(e) samba and open ssh server (so that you can smb mount it or ssh/scp to it)

[color=brown](7) Install build essential packages so that you can compile llvm-gcc for iPhone toolchain SDK2.0[/color]

you need to open the Terminal and type these commands
[code]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential bison flex[/code]

[color=brown](8) install server packages so that you can have local webserver and ssh and samba server[/color]
[code]
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi php5-sqlite openssh-server samba
[/code]

Install php5-sqlite3
[code]
sudo apt-get install php-db php-pear
wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/php-sqlite3/php-sqlite3_0.5-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i php-sqlite3_0.5-1_i386.deb
[/code]

[color=brown](9) Create Project folder for smb mount (guest login ok) so that you can use windows / smb mount the virtual machine folder[/color]
(assume sdkuser is the default user account)

[code]mkdir -p /home/sdkuser/Projects
chmod 777 /home/sdkuser/Projects[/code]

edit the smb.conf
[code]sudoedit /etc/samba/smb.conf[/code]
and add the followings at the end

[code]

[Projects]
[$#160][$#160][$#160]comment = Projects Folder Share
[$#160][$#160][$#160]writable = yes
[$#160][$#160][$#160]locking = no
[$#160][$#160][$#160]path = /home/sdkuser/Projects
[$#160][$#160][$#160]public = yes
[$#160][$#160][$#160]browseable = yes
[$#160][$#160][$#160]guest ok = yes
[$#160][$#160][$#160]create mask = 0666
[$#160][$#160][$#160]directory mask = 0777
[/code]

Note : you have to restart samba server to make the new configuration effective if you need to use it right now

[code]sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart[/code]

[color=brown](10) install jdk6 so that you can compile Andriod app[/color]

[code]sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk[/code]

[color=brown](11) Download Android SDK[/color] http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1.zip from http://code.google.com/android/download_list.html

[code]mkdir -p ~/Android/
sudo unzip ~/Desktop/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1.zip -d ~/Android/
sudo chown -R sdkuser:sdkuser ~/Andriod
[/code]

Create sd card & test emulator and create data directory

[code]~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools/mksdcard -l SD500M 500M ~/Android/sd500m.img

~/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r1/tools/emulator -datadir ~/Android -scale 0.7 -sdcard ~/Android/sd500m.img &
[/code]

[color=brown](12) Download and Install Eclipse 3.4.1[/color] (you can't use the debian package eclipse which is 3.2 only)
from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/ganymede/SR1/eclipse-java-ganymede-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz

There is no eclipse icon in the download file eclipse-java-ganymede-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz. You can get it from eclipse 3.2.2 package and install it manually

download the eclipse 3.2.2 package
[code]wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/eclipse/eclipse_3.2.2-5ubuntu2_i386.deb[/code]

extract the package and copy the icons to /usr/share/pixmaps/ and clean up
[code]dpkg -x eclipse_3.2.2-5ubuntu2_i386.deb tmp
sudo cp tmp/usr/share/pixmaps/* /usr/share/pixmaps/
rm -fr tmp
[/code]

Install Android sdk plug-in for Eclipse
(based on http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html#installingplugin)
add this site and install in Eclipse
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
