Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

Do you have uBoot waiting for 3 seconds before starting [Meego]? Try to type run mmcboot. I didn't mention that it will say that it can't load the kernel, but the next time you try to boot it will seek for a boot.scr on the mmc0:1 or uImage on mmc0:3 and will find the second one. At least it does in my case :)

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

A minute ago apachelogger has uploaded the new kernel:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~apachelogg...ernel-oneiric/
3.0.4 :)

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

last script works for me, I tried Kubuntu (not anything special: (
In any case, thanks a lot @ int_ua, much work you have done, and facilitate people who want to try Ubuntu or Kubuntu on the N900, I thought to record a clip "on kubutu n900" But as I said, no big deal. Now I'm going to try ubuntu 11:10 and new kernel I hope that it will be better ...

one more thing ... @ int_ua, it would be good if the last kernel be include in the script.

thanks

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

It doesn't work on my N900 yet... apachelogger, mpoirier and others from #kubuntu-mobile (who have done much more than me, I've just made some automatization ;) ) know about it. And AFAIN there was no updates yet. So let's wait or try to compile your own kernel from http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=peopl....git;a=summary. In my case it did boot, but there was almost no modules in it.

thanks for so quick reply, I will still wait to see the news, since I'm not as expert in this:)

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

Yes, apachelogger confirmed that they've changed partitioning scheme. Will fix the script in a couple of days. If the partitioning scheme is the same as in stable release, you can take related part of the script. But I didn't try yet. Have to work now so no updates from me till Friday I think...

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

Just found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core. Will try it also.

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

Do you have a project team at launchpad, where you host your packages? I work on hildon-desktop at launchpad and I would be interested to see how it works on Ubuntu-armel :p

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 

*wonders if you is plural or singular*
No, I don't :) Should I get one?
People at #kubuntu-mobile are searching for an ARM PPA AFAIN. Do you have it? :)
