If you could do translation of the documentation, that would be beautiful :)

As for the texts in the ubiboot itself, the menu symbols are graphic, just easy to change if anybody wants to do that, as well as the info panel that is accessed by the "i" button on the menu, that's easy also.

It is more difficult to change the error messages and such, as I think there's not chinese font for text2screen that I am using to write that text.
It could be possible to replace at least the boot error texts with pictures... yes that is doable! :D

great job! I cant wait to do it. which of the files do i need to download? and what do i need to do if i finish the translation?

Well, as I'd say, maybe getting documentation translated to chinese would be most important, but how to express that, what character set is used? Unicode propably.
The README file is the definitive documentation.

As for the info and error messages, here are the english texts which could be translated in chinese:

If you choose the hard way ;) by creating extended partition, then you should know where your OS should go.
Please check for p5 and/or p6 then (of course).

Oh, and if your nemo/sailfish is really on p2, then your harmattan needs also adaptation (as said before) ...

I already fixed my harmattan, but I don't know what I need to change in ubiboot.conf to change where it checks for OSs. They all seem to be set to the same partition by default.

In each OS section of ubiboot.conf you have the key G_OSx_PARTITION which describes the partition that contains the kernlels. As it happens, each OS is also launched as that partition set to the root device.

So, if for example you have your ALT_OS on your partition 2, you would want to set G_OS<whatever>_PARTITION="2"

Ok. I set them all to the one they're on and now Nemo is working, but Nitdroid and Firefox OS are still not. Do they have something else I need to change?

preinits should be placed correctly

juiceme 2013-12-15 18:48

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 
Yes, it seems that 80% of the boot problems people have is due to missing the preinits.
I did put the harmattan preinit in the sailfish-preconfigured packet and I am seriously considering that maybe I should put those also to the mainline package and release it as a fix...

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 
I still have my Nitdroid and FFOS preinits in /sbin/. I would imagine that ubiboot should be able to find them, as they are in the same folder as the Nemo preinit, which is working.

I do not understand what you mean by Nemo preinit??
Nemo (Like SailfishOS) do not use /sbin/preinit* on the Harmattan root partition, instead they use /sbin/init from their own partition... :)
