Any solution now here of running ubuntu without r&d mode enabled? If yes please put a linkback as I have read this thread with no success yet.

he just turns off the watchdogs via r&d.

you don't need that, that means: ubuntu doesn't need that.
if you see a reboot out of a sudden. you have to turn the watchdogs off or handle them...

• -> if maemo wakes them up, you have to handle them by configuring watchdogs. otherwise they do what they should do:reset the machine.
• -> if wd support is not in the kernel, you obviously need it in it

... or you ignore it and turn the wd off via r&d.


for the firmware: you find it in /lib/firmware...
calls and sms: ofono(from source, no arm binary)->telepathy ring(dito)->empathy(?)

Ok then how do i disable watchdog without enabling r&d mode? or at least configure it to not reboot? Cause if it reboots automatically I need to enable R&D

Ok I got it now.. I thought I need to disable maemo's watchdog instead of ubuntu :p
Great thanks btw! for the very quick response now on to the download mode :D

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

usually it gets disabled when the driver is loaded until gets woken up again. you can disable it only if the kerneldriver is configured to allow this.

How to disable watchdog?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

that really is the good thing about maemo standard kernel: it won't let you unless you fire up r&d. this is a nice little stop sign that says: stop and think about what you are doing. i think i leave it in place.
