Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Sorry last post, what version of Ubiboot should i be using in ubiboot2 folder?

@traysh

i just checked and found preinit_harmattan is not execute too, now I chmod +x it and it is excuted same as preinit_nitdroid and preinit.

Will try flash ubiboot see whether will be fixed or not tonight

OMG you are correct in this, I just checked it and for some reason the Harmattan preinit in nonexecutable.
I am very sorry about this, I'll correct it immediately.

See the section "Configuration and personification" in the README document.

What you need is animation toolkit source, the latest is animatronics_01112013.tar in the /source/ directory of ubiboot repository.
You need a Linux computer, where you extract that tarball.

• The info text is in file "imagebase/ownerpanel.png", so you need to create a 400x400 sized panel of your choosing, with Gimp or whatever you prefer and replace that image with your custom panel.
• Then, run the script ./create_animations.sh which will build the animation sequences and support files for you. The result is a tarball called "animatronics.tar" in the same directory.
• Next, run the script ./pack_cpio.sh --create animatronics.tar which will create an archive called "ubiboot-02.menus.cpio" in the same directory.
• Copy the CPIO into your ubiboot config directory on the device, and check that the name you give it matches the configuration key G_UBIBOOT_ARCHIVE in your ubiboot.conf.

Now your new info panel will show up in the menu :D

It should not make a difference AFAIK, the only problem with the Open Mode Warning is that booting takes longer as the device stops for a while to show up the warning.

I do belive however that the reason you cannot boot correctly is because you have some Aegis conflict, caused by signing keys not been created correctly for Open Mode (see this posting for example: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=656)

To get rid of the Open Mode warning and Aegis conflicts, you should do the following:

• back up your device, as this is going to erase data on it
• get the correct emmc.bin and firmware.bin for your device variant
• flash device to closed mode
• activate developer mode to get console
• give command disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode as user to get rid of the Open Mode Warning
• do the back-to-back closedmode/openmode flashing to get to open mode with correct Aegis keys created.
  (Note that is is not enough just to flash open mode directly, your keys have been already created and you will get the same Aegis problems as before...)
• set up your kernels
• set up your ubiboot config files
• flash ubiboot kernel

The latest is ver. 0.3.5

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

I have corrected that to the preinits.tar file now.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

To juiceme's honor:
it seems I am the bad guy here. :(
I sent original harmattan preinit to juiceme via e-mail, but it took a short stop on MyDocs (vfat) for attaching to mail. This for sure removed all user rights from that file. As juiceme is only used to Linux, he did not check it once more before taring?
So my bad (should have zipped from ext drive). I do apologize!

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

True enough, however hopefully the worst that happeded was some extra work and frustration :D
PS as a bonus added also preinit_firefox to the tarball...

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Huh!
Going to check against my self-made one .....
:)
