Share it via torrent and everyone else is gonna help

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

I get 8MBps d/l speeds on 3.5G, but there's a 1GB bandwidth limit so I'll wait till I'm back home, shouldn't take long.
Torrents? Well, I'm not the only one using this connection and ra**** it to upload a file would surely cause problems. There's a 7GB limit on this one too, so just give me some time, the project isn't dead.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Just wanted to note that if you're using an ADSL (not a wireless) line in Jordan the system that calculates the bandwidth usage doesn't include the amount of uploaded data only the downloaded.

hope this was helpful :) .

Don't know where you at, but you not got a starbucks or a maccies? :)

Or some little old lady living next door with open wifi or easily crackable WEP?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Leave him be, rushing something good usually ends badly.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Yeah, don't upload it now. A couple of weeks wait for a working Ubuntu image. Is well worth it.

But could you give us an update? What are the main obsticles now? What is working and not?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Is it possible to run this a la easy debian?
E.g. install stuff to image file, mount it and chroot to it?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Would be great if installed in such a manor it could be installed as stand alone and booted.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Is there any instructions for this using MultiBoot (Jay-C/NITdroid boot).
I could not get this to install. When I get to the chroot section on my N900 (bin/bash part) is fails each and every time. Was the same for Fedora (n900). Can anyone help with this?
Just can't get the chroot part to work :mad: Feel like I'm missing something but I have followed all instructions to the letter :(

From here on is where it fails: (I understand I don't write Mohammad and use my own login)

chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash
useradd -m <replace with your username here> (e.g useradd -m mohammad)
# fill in details as you wish.
visudo
# Edit the file and add your username to sudoers using visudo
# Example (replace my username with yours)
# # User privilege specification
# root ALL=(ALL) ALL
# mohammad ALL=(ALL) ALL

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

I have been peeking at the ofono project and though i understand very little they have come a long way. Although it might be better to wait for this project i am not ruling it out. It should soon be possible if not possible right now.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Could you explain better how to install ubuntu please? Maybe a n00b guide! not all of us know about linux

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

I'm in the same boat as Zylor. I need a little clarification.
I can not do the chroot part (on N900), am I missing any packages on my N900?? It could never get it working (PR 1.1 or 1.2) it was the same with Fedora, too.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Sorry for my bad English

Es that Ubuntu 9.10 works properly on the Nokia N900?
Where is the tutorial?
thank.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

First few pages is the tutorial. Just read from page one :) (Gives good info)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Ok thank you, it's possible to have a problem if l already install Nitdroid?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

No problem for dual or trial boot (i got nitdroid, mer & meego), but for me ubuntu 9.10 don't boot at startup it's just do nothing (white screen with "boot on mmcblk1p2..." nothing else). So i'm waiting for a new image for testing.
What version of netbook launcher running ? the efl 2D version ?
And what about sgx library ? it's present ?
(sorry for my poor english)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

i think we are all waiting on the new image but havent heard anything yet from Moham.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

Uploading image.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Great! Thank you ery much! :D

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

thank you mohammaAG... is now possibile tu boot with multiboot and without R&D mode?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Please how to solve broken pointer? I dont understand how to do "insmod tsc2005.ko prescale=1 when adding the module" Thanks

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

hmm OK so now the ubuntu is bootable. I see splashscreen and then it tries to boot into user but shows me an error about permission. Gonan look into this.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

@Honza broken pointer is fixed in the latest rootfs ;)
@tobyax multiboot works fine, r&d still needed.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

anyone else gets "/usr lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256" error ?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Are you sure? I still have this problem with the new rootfs... :confused:

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

it works fine in pre desktop environment.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

With a fresh install, mouse doesn't work at all for me...

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

I installed mine from http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/...Ubuntu.tar.bz2 this link.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

I used the same link...are you using power kernel or the default one?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

No one waited for a how to I see :)

Permission errors are because the image was tarred as root, and should be unpacked as root, unfortunately, permissions don't stay the same, wait till I post instructions for a fix on that.
As for the mouse pointer, it is indeed fixed, the module is loaded from /opt and the stock one is unloaded, however, the module is compiled for omap1, which means it will load on the stock kernel and similar ones only.

If you're using a kernel based on kernel power, try backing up the module in /opt somewhere and then put the one here in /opt instead, http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/...les/tsc2005.ko

noob friendly instructions soon, might follow the NITDroid way of releasing rootfs's, through patches, major releases will be through whole rootfs-s :)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Ok, now it works! :D

What about "tar --preserve-permissions -xvjf file.bz" for the permissions error?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Oh never knew of that option, thanks :)
I'm out for +4h tomorrow, so I might silently update the rootfs

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Ok, the "--preserve-permissions" flag doesn't work... :(

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

@MuhammadAG will there at some point in the near future be a workaround so you wont have to enable RnD mode? I would love to tribble boot maemo/NITdroid/ubuntu ;)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Of course, but tbh I'm interested in ofono :P
