But it's a full OSS POSIX environment!

Yeah, speed wise I'm doing fine on a 1ghz overclock. It could also be an issue of your memory card's speed.

For crashing, I found that my N900 was running out of memory awfully fast. If you do a `free`, you'll likely see that you have 3-4 megs free at most. To solve this, I ended up using gparted on a linux box to shrink my data partition on my mem card and added a swap partition. Once the swap partition is added, you can either add the swap partition to /etc/fstab, or run `swapon <partition dev name>`, and it'll stay till you reboot. Run `free` to test if it worked, you should see available swap space. That solved random crashing for me at any rate.

same here, i canmake it work (sometimes) and presence vnc crashes randomly :S

i use ir overclocked to 850 ideal

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 

by whom does the keyboard work normally? and what are your settings?

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 

Sounds like i should also create a swap partition.To paraphrase someone famous "50 MBs should be enough for everyone" huh? How much are you using?


Check some posts back, i ve asked the same question, got some answers that -unfortunately- didnt work. Post your settings too, just in case we find a pattern for us that keyboard doesnt work.

Hardware keyboard layout: English, Nederlands
yes virtual keyboard
yes Word completion
yes Auto capitalisation
yes Insert space after word

1 language: English Dictionary: English
2nd language: Nederlands Dictionary:Nederlands

Maybe its with the locale settings not in keyboard setttings....

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 

I decided to go for overkill and gave it 2gb, but all things considered you should be comfortably fine with 512mb or so I would figure. Memory card speed will have a huge impact on the speed of your system using swap on it, so keep that in mind. I don't remember what card I'm using in mine, but it's running perfectly reasonably.

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 

Possible to make about 800 mb swap of eMMC? I don't have a memory card yet :(

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 

Gave them a shot, still no luck. Give it a try just in case.

That much huh?I m thinking on creating it on system partition, not the card itself.Thanx for the tip!
