Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

All devices that I connected are recognized by kernel but for some node is not created in /dev/*?
Here is my new log, sorry it's over limit so it's here syslog

MohammadAG even with a new kernel+modules I could not mount ntfs partition, but not so important now (sfdisk -l /dev/sda recognize and report correctly size and partition tables )
I succeed mounting ext2 now :)

Also forgot to mention in my first post that I experienced a few unsuccessful booting - wich MohammadAG mention in one of his posts.

Hope more people supplay logs and debug info to be able to go to next stage alfa2 or beta :D

Speed of WRITING to usb flash drive ext2 filesystem on the screenshot :rolleyes: (USB 8GB Kingston)

Greetings

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

When I tried to write to the 8GB flash drive in file-manager I got a read-only error. Is it only me or this is normal??

Just a couple of points:
(1) Ensure you have the devel repos enabled.
(2) I used the command 'root' before I did anything
(3) ic2-tools will now install because of point 1.

When I can spend some quality time with my N900 I will provide log files. I intend to try my usb hub and logitech wireless keyboard (not bluetooth compatible) to see if I can persuade them to work.

Thanks to MohammadAG & developers who managed to get things this far. There is still a lot of work to be done so be patient.

Remember this is PRE-ALPHA software and is highly experimental.

I have enabled devel repos but when i write "dpkg -i i2c-tools3.0.2-1maemo1_armel.deb" tell me "no such file"
Please tell me how install i2c-tools in the details...

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

If you do not now what you are doing then THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!
Flash back to the stock kernel and wait for a more stable release.

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

i need to instal i2c-tools, i have enabled devel repos but i don't understand how i must install it... please help me...

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

@Kymera76 dpkg -i is an install command for files on the internal N900 memory, so if you havn't downloaded the file it wont exist and hence it wont install... So you can enable and disable devel forever without any result... If you have downloaded the file you just need to 'cd' to the directory and then do the dpkg -i command...

If this makes no sense to you then like MuhammadAG said this is not for you yet ;)

I did something like:
apt-get install i2c-tools

@Kymera76: Are you sure you should be doing this? You are asking pretty basic questions about stuff you are expected to know already.

With this kernel my camera app won't start and I cannot take photos. I will have to go back to the original Nokia kernel - which if fine for people who have this kind of experience but may cause problems for someone like yourself.

You have to be prepared to flash your device and install different kernels to keep you n900 in a usuable state. If anyone is not familiar with this type of thing then it is best to stay away until the software becomes more stable.

If anyone is having trouble following the basic steps or do not understand some of the posts then I strongly suggest you keep away - it will cause you nothing but grief and may leave you n900 is a non-working state.that you cannot fix yourself.
