Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
Any solution now here of running ubuntu without r&d mode enabled? If yes please put a linkback as I have read this thread with no success yet.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
ubuntu does not require r&d mode. why should it?

what ubuntu version run on your N900? what firmware you used now? Its in your ubuntu can make some call or SMS? thanks.... |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
he just turns off the watchdogs via r&d.
you don't need that, that means: ubuntu doesn't need that. if you see a reboot out of a sudden. you have to turn the watchdogs off or handle them...
for the firmware: you find it in /lib/firmware... calls and sms: ofono(from source, no arm binary)->telepathy ring(dito)->empathy(?) Quote:

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
Ok then how do i disable watchdog without enabling r&d mode? or at least configure it to not reboot? Cause if it reboots automatically I need to enable R&D

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
Ok I got it now.. I thought I need to disable maemo's watchdog instead of ubuntu :p
Great thanks btw! for the very quick response now on to the download mode :D |

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
very short description: what is the problem?
but: doesn't look like the ubuntu startscript, the script feels like one from fedora(?) therefore: does the script get called? if not: quick and dirty: put link in rcNN.d like chkconfig header suggests ---- but what's wrong with: apt-get install watchdog |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
That is the problem... It isn't initiated on bootup :p
So I guess i'm on the wrong directory then... I've put mine on /etc/init.d/wd_n900. I thought it would still get initiated there. |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
first off i do not understand why you don't just use the ubuntu script that comes with the wtchdog. but not my business...
putting something in /etc/init.d does not cause it to be called. you need the links in the runlevels. (alternatively convert the script to a upstart script) so you have to link it in. eg: Code:
cp -s /etc/init.d/yourscript /etc/rc1.d/S01yourscript and if that doesn't work something with your booting is wrong and the /etc/event.d/rcX (rsp. /etc/init.d/rc ) doesn't get called. EDIT: spot in your script the line: # chkconfig: 12345 01 99 that's to be done. EDIT: for ubuntu it says it needs this links: --- # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 --- Quote:

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
sorry if i sounded arrogant. it was not ment that way. by no means,;)
just try to help. please don't be mad at me for saying that i do not understand why you needed to manually install a script. i said i do not understand why you don't use the ubuntu script for it comes with the watchdog daemon. so if you have the watchdog daemon you normally should have the ubuntu script right in place without doing anything. so i was simply wondering why you seemingly replaced it with some other script. so no offence at all! your script looks like fedora init scripts. that does not mean it is fedora but that's the biggest distribution that has scripts like this. skimming over it, it looks like it does nothing essentially different than the ubuntu script. so it most likely should work. the only reason i can see for it not even being called is that it simply is not linked into the runlevels. see below how to do that. that linking is usually done automatically. only for you manually installed the script you have to explicitly tell the system to use it and when. that's done by creating the links. again see below how to do that and maybe look at other initscripts for examples. Code:
cp -s SOME.SCRIPT.WHEREEVER.IT.IS /etc/rcX.d/S01FANCYNAME and if you have them in place, it either should work or you should see some error on the terminal and/or in the logs. i /etc/watchdog.conf needs adjustment. thats where you define what the daemon should do. Quote:

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
:D Actually I wasn't mad or anything you just misinterpretted it :p
Yes I understood already the problem and your explanation, actually I already got it working now :) I just explained why I used another watchdog script. So the simple answer is that I didn't know there is one already. Someone just referred me to that script when I asked so that's the one I used. :D And ok might wanna try that default script now... So all I have to do is edit the watchdog.conf and all should be fine? Would that mean I wouldn't need the watchdog-omap.conf & watchdog-twl4030.conf to go around watchdog? Again thanks for the time! Oh btw you can explain simplier... I know linux... It's just I don't bother to dwell deeper on it until now of course :) |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
yes! there you are right. you need the configurations. and you need as many watchdogs running as you have wd-devices.
so for that you might want to go with your script. Quote:

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
I'm just doing this for learning :p so I will try everything I can lol!
but first I need to fix this inverted keyboard... The module provided by mohammad can't be insmod it shows up an error... So gonna work on this first before anything else. Again thanks for the help! |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
@.@ ok this is odd... I flashed my device, reinstalled everything now I can't boot ubuntu without R&D mode... the device would just say
Quote:
R&D mode needs to be disabled to boot but when enabled whether I put my script or extend the interval of the default watchdog.conf the device reboots itself now... If my mind is working right it seems like the device won't get to the point where it reads all my script. The watchdog just timesout on bootmenu. Any ideas? |

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
I have repartitioned again the device and put ubuntu into it... I can see it through df... Also since I mounted it I can also see it on my file manager,,,
Also it boots when R&D mode is disabled :( |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
wow. put the framebuffer on and some logging. better even if you have some serial console. too get a hint why it crashes.
Quote:

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
Hmm I have also U-Boot installed.. as of I know it has an option to use serial console right? I'm not in a place to reflash my n900 atm as I have no tools... not at home :p
Do you know by any chance any kernel which has framebuffer or at least can fbcon be insmod? |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
it has. but...
but ali disabled it for some other issues(iirc usb driver, tradeoff with another usecase) in the version he originally made public together with an explanation how to enable it. now i do not know if the version that maemo has, has it still disabled or enabled. search for the thread in which ali anounces his n900 driver patches for uboot for details.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
Ok thanks! Will do later on :D if there's no alternative to it I guess I should halt this for the mean time and switch over to easy debian... :)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
Ok another update... I just forgot to tell you that I copied /lib/modules/* and /lib/firmware/* of power kernel v45 which has u-boot installed... Do you think that makes a conflict?
|
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
There are a lot of posts here to sort through. has anyone successfully gotten ubuntu 10.10 installed as a bootable option on the n900?
|
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
can somebody post guide to install ubuntu. with power kernel

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
Quote:
/lib/modules has subdirectories. each of them contains parts of specific kernel. any kernel that as parts of it compiled as separate modules you need one such directory or that parts of the kernel are missing. so if changed the kernel you will need the modules for the kernel. /lib/firmware is different. it contains parts that depend on the devices. well, for you use the device via drivers it is also closely connected with the kernel. but in most cases you won't have to change the firmware if you change a kernel and vice versa. so if it is one of the two that causes you the trouble, it is rather the first. |
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
i repeat.
1. watchdogsupport is the key to get rid of r&dor leave it on 2. ubuntu uses a different "arch" than debian and for that matter maemo. (to simplify even more: it speaks a different languague, ) so you need a kernel that has support for this. maemo kernel hasn't. powerkernel has. but it fails. 3. mousesupport is actually touchscreensupport and it is the tsc2005 driver you need. as it is part of the kernel you need one for the particular kernel you use and nothing else. 4. i said it before: it makes no sense to use a maemo kernel. a linux( != maemo) kernel works best(something recent). so go and grab a 2.6.37 linux kernel put everything you need in and you are mostly good. 5. if you want to keep your maemo kernel your best bet is the powerkernel. otherwise you do not want to flash a linux kernel for maemo needs a maemo kernel and won't run with a linux kernel. (powerkernel is something inbetween)so you either kexec into linux from maemo or have a meamo kernel to boot maemo and a linux kernel to boot linux. Quote:

If "no-ext-wd" means "no external watchdog" than I'm right and you can go here under "Configure Base System" and look if you can use this solution for handling watchdog. ;) |
