i don't know look

I think it is lxdm.

After i press login i got clear terminal, when something type in and execute nothing happens only enters new line..

P.S when i press poweroff button in that terminal it shows acpid: exiting.

int_ua,

Results:
Target SD Card: Class 4

* Installing directly on phone consumes about 4 hours+.

* Installing into image takes about 40-45 minutes. Then copying to phone from image takes about 20 minutes. (Depends on SD Card class).

In both ways same configs and dependencies and Ubuntu booted fine.

Great, Nobless, I'll include this method

BTW, the above situation with Nobless having problems starting lxde may be originated from ext4 instead of ext3 on the root partition. But I don't undestand why yet.

of course, all necessary software are installed, i actually run the script on ubuntu 12.04 64bits, already try on 12.04 32bits, 10.04 32 bits and debian on two differents computers.

whatever the install options it doesn't make any difference. i'm tired of searching internet, where is my mistake???

It's not RO here:

but becomes RO in the chroot:

You can try adding 'bash' statements as breakpoints and investigate what's re-mounting the FS in RO mode.
