How so??
My meego build works great. I dont think meego is a good os, but the phone works very well.

To get wifi you can add the Kernel modules folder from Maemo! :D

You can't get wifi (at this point). But wifi and Bluetooth can generally be fixed by adding the kernel modules folder from Maemo..

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900
 

ok.
I used a little different procedure:

1- because when i dd or 'zcat' the kubuntu-mobile.raw image to the first ext3 partition of my mircosd, the partition was corrupted. so i first dd it to another micro sd with no partition on it- and finde that the raw image contain two partition: the fat and ext3.
then i copy the ext3 entries to the 7gig etx3 partition of first micro sd.

2- instead of installing uboot, I flash the kernel just like meego instalation.

I try to upload my video tomorrow

I found the video (this is not my device- I think it is kubuntu-mobile 10.10 or 11.04):
It looks so good:

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900
 

Are you using the omap3 drivers? Also, either use the ones from Maemo's /lib/modules/2.6.* folder or scrounge around MeeGo.

Plasma Mobile looks hawt, wonder how much better it got since 2010.

Next stop: Running GNOME 3 on the N900 (why not? it does NOT look like it was built for desktops, the task switcher and app menu can be accessed by tapping top-left *ahem*likeMaemo5*ahem* and it's got multiple desktops.)

I used meego driver (as described in wiki) but no wlan or bluetooth.
