Developer Steven Troughton-Smith has managed to putt off another new hack on Nexus S. This time, he’s managed to get Ubuntu booting on Nexus S although the touchscreen doesn’t work yet due to kernel issues which he hopes to fix with MeeGo stuff.
How Steven got Ubuntu working on Nexus S is that he used an HD2 Ubuntu image (v0.3), loaded it to the internal memory. No flashing required.
