The new ubiboot does however now include a nice Maemo Leste graphic and a few things preconfigured for it. That reminds me that I should send a pull request to juiceme to set a few more defaults for Leste (described below).

To get Leste running, you'll need to create a new partition (ext4 is fine). Then you can unpack the .tar.gz dist for the N9 to that partition and configure ubiboot.conf to use it. Assuming you'll use slot 5:

• Set G_OS5_INITSCRIPT to "\/sbin\/preinit" (those are "\" and "/", not Vs)
• Set G_OS5_NUM to "1"
• Set G_OS5_PARTITION to the partition number of your new partition
• Set G_OS5_NAME to "Maemo"
• Set G_OS5_1_LABEL to "Maemo Leste - Linux 4.16" or whatever description you like
• Set G_OS5_1_FILE to "/boot/Maemo/boot/zImage".

I'll write up a guide on the wiki once I've sent that patch to juiceme but in the meantime the above should get you going.

As I already mentioned, Hildon is broken on the N950 so I suspect it might be broken on the N9 too. So don't expect wonders, but USB networking works so that will give you complete access to the Devuan-like system to play around with.

Will they record it on video?

They had streaming, so there might be videos too. Until they are released - I've recorded the entire session, here is the video:

There is a blurry minute at the start, as I've switched to manual focus and the screen was too small from the distance I've placed it on :)

P.S. The "RAKIA - connecting people" t-shirts are a nice touch :D

Btw have you managed to run firefox? I think I saw a screenshot somewhere in the thread (I did apt install iceweasel but firefox crashes just after launch.)

Regarding the latest update, I'm guessing the Qt5 build no longer suffers from the issues we had with Fremantle needing to ship a seperate libX11.so.6 built with --with-xcb. It needed a seperate lib because xcb broke keyboard support with other apps. I guess it would be okay unless someone tries install a Fremantle closed source deb.

Also, as OMP was mentioned, in keeping with the more modern take on Qt, would it also be worth porting qt-components-hildon?
