Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
Hi,

I have never touched Kubuntu Mobile, but I'm working from time to time on a hobby-Debian for the N900. Ofono comes with some useful python test scripts. I have uploaded these which are in meego-ce (summer edition) in the folder /usr/lib/ofono/test here.
I can say that SMS basically works - sending and receiving.

Don't remember every step I did to make it working, but it wasn't that hard.
You need to run the setup_gpio function at some point, e. g. at bootup.

Then at some point run this scripts:
Code:

enable-modem
online-modem           
enter-pin pin [yourpin]

Have fun.

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
Yeah, so, judging on what you state, for this I could put an SMS interface, for sending, receiving, with an addressbook etc. real fast, based on what I had on the Universal...

However, it seams the calls are still a dead-end, last I heard the voice was not there, the call got initiated, but then no go... Is this still so?

Could the work done on Nitdroid help? I think he had a similar issue but started to get something going, still a wip.

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
I don't really care for Android, only GNU/Linux, but from the little I've read about sound in Android, I think it's implemented completely differently, therefore I'd doubt there'd be any correlation.

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
I wish Kubuntu becomes ultimate alternative mobile os but its probably long way to go.

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
I am a little puzzled at people wanting to install this. Its linux essentially. Its pretty bare also, so its probably fast, but by time all required apps and os elements are installed it will be same as Maemo.

What we need is Maemo on other more powerful devices, not other software on N900. Again if I wanted Android I'd buy a Android device.

What makes the N900 great for me is software and the hardware

Estel 2011-09-25 08:28

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
It's about closed source elements inside Maemo. Period.

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
Can someone please point me to a working boot.scr for Kubuntu? I actually mean the right bootargs value.

My setup is Meego CE on external sd + Kubuntu on mmcblk1p5. I'm struggling with u-boot command line, no luck so far - after copying uImage, System.map, etc. to mmcblk1p5 and ext2load mmc 1:5 0x82000000 /uImage it just says Loading image and nothing happens.

I am completely noob with u-boot, tell me the right way to run Kubuntu from custom partition please (if someone managed that).

Did you read posts about boot.scr on the 6th page? Hope they can help ;) It is 0:1 in the Kubuntu image, does Meego contains 1:# ? (I didn't check it when tested it).

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
Also, there is a good new KDE option for limited resources:
kubuntu-low-fat-settings package.
I will check it some time later and add to the scripts or confirm that it's installed in the armel image. But you are welcome to check it ASAP ;)

P.S. As long as SGX-drivers was not working as I expected, I'm going to comment relevant lines in the new scripts. But only after fresh testing with fresh images.

Hey int_ua,

I can assist you in testing, but make few things clear to me. I am using a n900 with Maemo 5 which boots into NITDroid via multiboot, but also to MeeGo via uBoot (HELP TAKEN FROM http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...91&postcount=1). But still i haven't managed to boot into Kubuntu using the above post. But i have installed NITDroid on eMMC(not clean install) and MeeGo on a 8GB MMC. I can spare another MMC that I have for getting this Kubuntu tested, but can you help me how to proceed from where my current setup?

I'm adding kubuntu-low-fat-settings to the script and disabling GLX drivers in it right now, so if you can wait 2-3 hours before I test the new script myself.. wait :)
It should boot the same way as the MeeGo. It uses the scheme with uImage on the mmc0:3. If it autoboots to the Maemo,
Code:

run mmcboot
in the uBoot shell should work. Do you get uBoot prompt with Multiboot? I didn't try it yet.

Had a problem with
Quote:

Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted RDWR without CONFIG_LBDAF.
so I added
Code:

tune2fs -O ^huge_file "$dev"1
Keyboard works, WiFi does work, but nm-applet in KDE does not show any connections, so I've tested it with
Code:

iwlist scan
. Battery indicator doesn't work and I didn't investigate this yet.

UPDATE: There was a change in the Ubuntu 11.10 partitioning scheme and the script will not work with it. Try Kubuntu, add some conditions to the script (the 'stable' part may work with Ubuntu 11.10) or wait till Friday until I fix this :)

UPDATE 2: Use https://code.launchpad.net/~xintx-ua...n900-installer

How to connect with nmcli
 
As long as nm-applet does not work yet in Kubuntu, I've connected with nm-cli.
First, go to System Settings:
Code:

systemsettings
, setup new connection in 'Network Settings' checking 'system' flag.
Then get it's uuid:
Code:

$ sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* | grep uuid
and connect with
Code:

nmcli -p con up uuid 21b0c2d8....
Edit: but there is a problem with default gateway for usb connection (see the scripts). Trying to fix it with
Code:

Do you have uBoot waiting for 3 seconds before starting [Meego]? Try to type run mmcboot. I didn't mention that it will say that it can't load the kernel, but the next time you try to boot it will seek for a boot.scr on the mmc0:1 or uImage on mmc0:3 and will find the second one. At least it does in my case :)

It doesn't work on my N900 yet... apachelogger, mpoirier and others from #kubuntu-mobile (who have done much more than me, I've just made some automatization ;) ) know about it. And AFAIN there was no updates yet. So let's wait or try to compile your own kernel from http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=peopl....git;a=summary. In my case it did boot, but there was almost no modules in it.

Yes, apachelogger confirmed that they've changed partitioning scheme. Will fix the script in a couple of days. If the partitioning scheme is the same as in stable release, you can take related part of the script. But I didn't try yet. Have to work now so no updates from me till Friday I think...

I think if the installation procedure of Kubuntu was as easy as Nitdroid (without auto-installer) and this supports multiboot then there would be significantly more testers to test this os.

Exactly! I cannot pass throught installation... I am using multiboot and power kernel, so installation via posted metods isnt possible.

Fabry 2011-10-21 20:14

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
Multiboot can work only with kernels which boot initially from N900's Nand (rootfs).
Maemo and Nitroid are the only kernels which do it.

So the problem is not to make a config file for multiboot but it is to rebuild/extend multiboot to support booting process without rootfs.

And this is not a simple task.
So the real answer to a real multiboot system will be u-boot when the remaining problems on N900's version will be fixed.

Re: Kubuntu 11.10 mobile on N900 [TESTERS NEEDED]
 
I've succesfully installed Kubuntu 11.10 with the given script. Even the wifi is working out of the box (without commadlining). The plasma desktop works perfectly. The big problem is the sound is not working for me.

I managed to switch on the swap, that swap which is a file located on the kubuntu's root folder SWAP.swap (512 mb) I have to activate it after each start via terminal.

I installed some packages:
Moun
Firefox
Chromium youtube-html5 almost works problem is the sound (I think)
Vlc
some kind of picture viewer

Multitasking works great with swap activated. (firefox, openoffice, system manager)

Thanks for your work.
Finally I can use my N900 as a real computer.

Ok, here is the new version of the script. Not polished and there are some problems with Ubuntu Core but it works. Feel free to discuss and fix any bugs :)
Didn't test it (focused on Core this time) but it may work again with Ubuntu 11.10

UPDATE: Use https://code.launchpad.net/~xintx-ua...n900-installer

What is Moun?
The system didn't recognize swap partition or did you create it without swap partition? (not the SWAP.swap)
Did you try adding it to the /etc/fstab? That would be something like

/SWAP.swap swap swap defaults 0 0
Looks like the sound stopped working on mine too.

I just checked acpi_listen for lock key on the right side of the N900 and it generates
Quote:

button/screenlock SCRNLCK 00000080
But when I create a file in /etc/acpi/events acpid ignores it even after restarting. Suggestions?
P.S. Also there are two

Muon is the default package manager for Kubuntu.

I added the swap in /etc/fstab that swap which is the default 768mb on the n900's mmc.

Just to cheer up developing this project I tried Kubuntu Netbook Plasma 11.10 on my netbook yesterday and I am very, very impressed.
Keep up the good work porting this to our dear N900.
