I believe I have solved the exec format error problem. You have to be running the power users kernel. I was testing mine on a fresh flash of N900 and was receiving that same error myself.

Do a ` apt-get install kernel-power* `, reboot, and try chrooting again.

keyboard works ok on presence vnc but is all in caps on vnc viewer, vnc viewer seems to be a good bit more responsive too... would still prefer it to be a system in itself

Great..so i guess its my configuration that is doing weird things with my keyboard:confused:

presencevnc seems to be working quite well for me.

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
Got it working on my N900.

Problems i have are:

- Keyboard not typing anything like what i'm entering.
- Screen resolution is not 800x480 (i assuming it's currently at the BT5 default)

Whenever i try to change the resolution i get a couple of errors regarding locale settings and bad display name "Nokia-N900:1"

EDIT: Fixed the resolution by editing /usr/bin/startvnc myself.
Still getting locale errors when running startvnc and the messed up keyboard, but slowly getting there :-)

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
Had an idea about the keyboard(..wonder why i havent checked earlier). I checked Text Input on my N900 settings. I had Hardware Keyboard set to Greek. Turned it to English,Netherlands full of hope but still no luck. Messed up characters.

To those without a keyboard problem, whats your Text Input Settings on your N900?

@jamesgloucester
Answer the above question pls

Edit:Also, does anyone have UKeyboard installed ?

Can you post the output of `uname -a` ? And also do an `md5sum ./bt5.img` ?

Linux Nokia-N900 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Sun Aug 8 09:50:47 BST 2010 armv7l unknown

af67c2a3ce874178945d6a30d8391beb /home/user/MyDocs/bt5.img

Do I have to specifically choose which kernel to load or something?

sequel7 2011-05-16 03:36
Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
You shouldn't have had to if the power kernel was installed successfully, it should just be loaded when you reboot. And that's definitely not it.

Also, my bt5.img has an md5sum of ea9da7e254ab93986ceb9164847d8d88. I'm using the one directly downloaded from BackTrack's site though, not the one from page one of this thread. Your problem is definitely that the power kernel isn't running though. I'm not sure why.

azkay 2011-05-16 04:02
Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
So, apparently I didnt have extras devel so it didnt find it, just installed other kernel-power stuff.

Anyway, now it installed and everything- reboot, still the same output from uname -a

Yeah. This is weird, no matter how many times I reinstall/restart, it wont install.
Was using: apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

Saw
apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
apt-get install --reinstall multiboot-kernel-power

As ive got maemo/nitdroid dualbooting, reinstalling multiboot removes bootimg.

Bah.

Finally got it working.
apt-get remove kernel-power*

then reinstalled it all again. qchroots fine now.

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
If I apt-get install xserver-xephyr, then try running it; Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 I get:

Code:
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!
[xkb] Can't rename /var/tmp/filekmxB8B to /var/lib/xkb/server-02D8252E59564A234380F1E5417646A9DB3B7452.xkm, error: Invalid cross-device link
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.

Fatal server error:

More fun to troubleshoot. Seems theres a keyboard problem whether you go VNC or Xephyr

In new kernel power (47) the package multiboot-kernel-power is OBSOLETE and kernel-power-bootimg has all files which were needed for multiboot (so new kernel-power-bootimg package is the combination of old kernel-power-bootimg and multiboot-kernel-power packages), so It was OK that it removed multiboot-kernel-power.

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
I've copied the bt5.img to /Mydocs/bt5/
When I run "qchroot /home/user/Mydocs/bt/bt5.img /mnt/bt5/" I get an error "The image specified (/home/user/Mydocs/bt/bt5.img) does a regular nor a block special file. First paramenter must be an image file or partition."
What's wrong?

Edit:
It's "MyDocs" and /bt5/
I should write the path correctly.

Check that your bt5.img MD5 sum matches one of the ones previously mentioned in here.

md5sum /home/user/MyDocs/bt/bt5.img

not
qchroot /home/user/MyDocs/bt/bt5.img /mnt/bt5/

It's actually an operating system with a whole bunch of tools compiled and ready for use. And yes, there is fantastic training available at offsec.com

Head here - http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/

Download an ISO or a VM image or whatever, boot it up, and screw around for a bit. You'll figure it out :-)

(Be sure you have rootsh & easy-chroot)
Everything typed in terminal is blue
- Put the bt5.img anywhere (i did it in /home/user/Mydocs/bt5, so rest of the howto is based on that but can be changed)
- open Terminal
- sudo gainroot
- mkdir /mnt/bt5 (needs to be done only first time to create the folder)
- qchroot /home/user/Mydocs/bt/bt5.img /mnt/bt5/ (when you see root@chroot you are good to go)
- export USER=root
- vncpasswd (Needs to be done once for setting up a password)
- vncserver -geometry 800x470
- startvnc
Now go back to open VNC and leave terminal open in background
In VNC use this settings :
The adress is 127.0.0.1:590x
x Is the number you see when you typed "startvnc" inside BT5. You will see something like this :
"Log file is /home/user/.vnc/Nokia-N900:x.log"
Mine was "Log file is /home/user/.vnc/Nokia-N900:1.log", so i have 127.0.0.1:5901
Enter password you choosed before, log in have fun.
When done and VNC is closed, do this to shutdown BT5:
Go back to opend terminal
- stopvnc
- exit
- qumount /mnt/bt5
- exit
- exit

Hope i did not miss something, will put the link with the img as soon as it is up (bout 1h30 left)
Will be away until tonight, hope it works.
Had some time today and downloaded the img..


/mnt/bt5 gets created in / on the n900 itself? Is that right or should it be in /MyDocs/mnt/bt5?
Dont like the idea it sits in /, wont that take up rootfs space?

You just mount it there (think of it like inserting a dvd in your computer). When you re done, you unmount it (remove the dvd) and you re good to go.

Thanks 4 to info with the not installed power kernel!
Than I dont install this kernel only because of bt5 - the risc of instability etc. is to high 4 me. With easy debian I can install most of the hacking tools 2.

mr_pingu 2011-05-16 17:01
Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
Thanks that made me understand but have the same as Mr. Incredible, so I think my download is corrupted or something.

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
@mr_pingu
There is a typo in SuperDumb's how to. (path should be /bt5/)
Use the description in the first post.

But it still won't work. I have another MD5 sum then the ones posted.
I'm redownloading the .img from ifile.it now.

For what it's worth, running BT5 in a chroot is exactly the same level of risk as running Debian in a chroot, no more and no less. The kernel is different, true, but it isn't going to cause instability. Also, to be honest, if stability is paramount to you, you should be using a phone that actually has official updates put out for it once in awhile.

As Gi0 kind of said, it won't take up any of your rootfs space at all. Mounting an image like you are doing is basically similar to creating a link. While you you can access the data at /mnt/bt5, it is not actually stored there. It's stored wherever you put bt5.img.

One can run "x11vnc -storepasswd" to achieve the same effect as vncpasswd.

More info: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/x11v...pt-storepasswd

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
 
made it work all the way except at the vncstart part, it is supposed to be mounted and all and with the vnc server up and running but when i use presence vnc to connect, it always says connection lost... sttrange

after that i used vncstop and at the end said no proccess to kill or something like that, so vncstart necer worked?

what do you guys suggest

cheers

edit: made it work somehow.... but i still havent been able to change the display to 800x470

with VNC running, do an `lsof -i -P -n` and see if it lists the VNC server as having a port open, it should be 5901 by default.

EDIT: Hm the problem is more of that vnc crashed randomly.. like it just stops running and my vnc viewer crashes :mad:
