Feels disturbing that it are so close but still not.. cause of the mouse and touch not working. Would be so epic to get 10.10 working.

I was wondering if someone tried Meegos modules for this or if that would be impossible? I think Meego and Ubuntu 10.10 have the same kernel version.

They don't, but I couldn't get the stock MeeGo kernel to boot it, I'll try to recompile the MeeGo kernel with some mods and see if this boots.

Nwm. I misread the version number, I though you were able to boot 10.10 on n900 with keyboard and touchscreen working.

I have NOT been able to boot the new kernel yet.

To install the image, download and extract the raw file, then plug in your N900 and select mass storage mode, find the name of the dev node (/dev/sdx) then dd if=imagefilename of=/dev/sdx. You have to dd to the whole mmc block, not the partition (i.e sdc not sdc1).
If you type in the wrong block, you might erase your HDD, so make sure you know what you're doing, dd isn't something to try out.
I was able to boot it using the boot settings suggested for NITdroid.

The bootsettings in MuhammadAG's howto in post 51 works too. Just change the ITEM_NAME to "Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick". I am guessing the NITdroid are on the second partition too.. why it worked for you.

Quote:
ITEM_NAME="Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (external SD, partition 2)"
ITEM_ID="ubuntu"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,rw"
My only problem after MuhammadAG poked me in the right direction is the keyboard lights and of course the mouse and thouch.. but the 10.10 image boots up well.

Yeah, the image boots, as have I stated in my posts.

AlMehdi, you had suspending problems?

No.. not sure what you mean. I didn't know how to dd correct.. tried to dd the partition. Now when i know how i get to the login window but as everyone else not able to do anything more.

Or do you mean the keyboard light when you are in R&D mode? The flickering when the screen is off. Is there a way to get around it?
