Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 
I have two problems:

-led and keyboard backlight don't work
-battery charging doesn't work (neither using the wall charger, nor using the usb cable)

Suggestions? :)

At the moment - for me the biggest blockers are:

Be able to make/receive phonecalls
Send/Receive SMS
Battery/power management

It will be amazing if was possible to install the linux distro of your choice and then download the apps/device drivers to enable all the hardware on the n900.

The nitdroid team have the first signs of phone call functionality so things are getting alot closer.

I imagine the next meego release will contain the "missing parts".

Then installing the OS of your choice with full hardware support will become a reality.

(It's just a matter of using stuff from other projects!)

-How to run wifi? I can normally connect to my home wlan(only MAC blocking), but never run internet - after minute got "time out".

-Super, I only turn on my BT mouse, pair and it works pretty well:)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 
Hopefully this thread isn't dead :) I just followed the instructions, and finally got Ubuntu to boot up and the cursor to work. Now my issues seems to be getting wireless to work. Ubuntu seems to be auto-logging me in as 'user' and I am unable to do 'sudo' anything, I get a "unable to resolve host Nokia-N900" and then it asks for 'user's' password, which I don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've found out that user 'root' has password 'root'.
So just login to root and change the user password. ;)
WLAN works great btw.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 
Thank you Skyscraper, that worked perfectly! Next... maybe this is just an issue with me, but when I click on the network icon in the right hand corner, I get a 'device' not ready error, and can't use WiFi that way. So I went about it the long way, and here is how I did it, just in case anyone else needs to know.
Code:
ifconfig wlan34 up
This let me find my network
Code:
iwlist wlan34 scan
I was using WEP to test and yes it worked
Code:
iwconfig wlan34 mode managed key (network key)
I used parentheses and inserted by network name
Code:
iwconfig wlan34 essid "network name"
I used this to request an IP
Code:
dhclient wlan34
And ping'ed google to check everything was working!
Code:
ping google.com

What about "tar --preserve-permissions -xvjf file.bz" for the permissions error?
I am using the kernelPower and can't get the Ubuntu to boot. I don't quite understand what you are proposing to backup and replace here however. Any further clarification?

BTW: thanks a billion for all of the effort spent so far in getting ubuntu bootable from the n900.

Download this:

http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/...les/tsc2005.ko

and put it in /opt in Ubuntu rootfs.

Ah ok. I understood that part. It just sounded like there was something else that should be backed up or renamed possibly before I did that. I will put it back into r&d mode and try it out. thanks!

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 
hi guys, i have 2 questions about this.

1. lets say i installed another os like ubuntu and i dont want to keep my maemo but a week later, i want my maemo back, how do i get it back?

2. is this (or any other) OS independent from this stupid rootfs thing? or do they all have that restriction?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 
Has anyone got this working with MultiBoot, yet?
I tried to get this running when it first came out, with a failure....
Can anyone make an auto installer (nitdroid style) for this? I would love this running on my N900!

Edit: can someone help?

visudo: no editor found (editor path = /bin/vi)

I have VIM/VI installed. Any clues how to fix this?
I'm not sure on how to do the deep down linux commands....

I got Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick (ARM release) to boot, accidentally, by using the NITDroid menu option in multiboot and the wrong microSD card. However, neither the mouse nor the keyboard work. Anyone have any pointers?

ear0wax 2010-10-11 21:34
Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 
maybe use the drivers and inits from the 9.10 release?

Which image have you used? This could be very interesting for Easy Debian/Chroot...

I used the Texas Instruments OMAP3 preinstalled netbook image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-net...10.10/release/. I did not use any custom kernels.

Linux Mint us just ubuntu with a few extra/different packages, also Linux mint does not have an ARM release.

After several tries I still havent managed to make it :(

Mohammad, is there any new progress since the last edit of your post #51? And what about newer ubuntus 10.04 and 10.10?

Not to be rude. I just want ubuntu on my N900 so badly :)

Installed Ubuntu 10.10 with the Win32DiskManager. It goes to login screen, but keyboard and mouse donīt work.

Has some "suspend" issues too, it just keeps suspending all the time.

The N900 uses omap3. You need to download the other ubuntu netbook image. Good luck!

Agree. Seems to be a very good port, and blazing fast.
