Proxoid on Xubuntu

[Chidori602]

i recently installed xubuntu on my computer, and i cant get proxoid to work with Xubuntu. I haven't found any instruction on Xubuntu only on Ubuntu. The Ubuntu instructions dont seem to work with Xubuntu.

Hey Chidori,

let's try to back up a bit. What phone do you have, running what version of Android, and what is your end goal?

i have the mytouch 3g 1.2, non rooted, running 1.6. My goal is to tether my phone with xubuntu using proxoid.

Hi,

Just to cover the bases, have you followed the directions here...

installationLinux - proxoid - Project Hosting on Google Code

You may have to install network-manager-gnome

yeah, where do i get that

Open a terminal (you can find one in your main menu)

run:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

You should already have something called "nm-applet" running, it is the little icon you use to connect to wireless networks. Right-click on it and go to "edit connections" and this should bring up the network management dialog.

once I get there, I create a connection under broadband right? what do i do after that.

Well, if everything is working right, when you create a connection with the given settings, you should connect using your phone as a proxy. (aka, tethering.)

To be honest, though, if you really want tethering, you should root the phone. I'm actually posting this wireless-tethered to my Motorola Droid. I was scared to root it at first, but I'm glad I did it. Wireless tethering, better battery life, and best of all, the people at the Verizon store thought it was pretty cool.
