Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Guys, is there any manual how to install 10.10 on n900? or just use 10.10's tar and 9.04 manual?)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Does this work with multiboot with the current OMAP (PR 1.3) kernel, yet?
Last time I was here playing, it was when you needed pr 1.2 kernels.

Is there a new build or can someone tell me how they're running this (if on PR1.3/Multiboot).

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

PR1.3, kernel-power46 and meego kernel works I have tried this past half month ago but R&D mode must be enabled. But problem is touch screen is inverted. I have tried insmoding the modified modules here but seems like they only support old kernel versions.

All I can say is it's just a proof of concept it is unusable to the point that your device heats up like your overclocking it at 1GHZ and maxing CPU usage at 100%. Regarding speed yeah it's quite fast enough. I would prefer easy-debian than this.

Guys is it possibe to make my own image of Ubuntu? I want to delete all unused files/software/games/packages and copy it to desktop. Than make tarball image and will i have success when will tar it back? or there will be errors? ThnkS!

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

You could make your own Ubuntu image, just remember it has to be the ARM architecture. Don't modify the x86/AMD64 version :P

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Is there a way to boot it using multiboot instead of bootmenu?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Ok, I managed to follow the instructions by MohammadAG, except I created a multiboot item instead of a bootmenu item (I used this guide). I used "p2" as the partition number, as in MohammadAG's tutorial, and not "p3" as in the other guide, because my Ubuntu files are stored in mmcblk1p2. However, when I select 4 - Ubuntu 9.10 blabla in Multiboot menu, I have a Guru error: "Can't find init binary in target OS".

I followed all the steps, I have no idea of where I messed up. Any help would be very appreciated! :]


Edit: I tried an ubuntu.ext.item with "p3" instead of "p2" for the partition, and this is not the same error message, so it is definitely "p2" and the source of my problem is probably elsewhere. :'(
