You probably aren't in the same folder as the download when you type the sudo ./maemo-etc command, so you should 'cd' into the correct folder first. However, before you go any further, you should probably look up some kind of Ubuntu or general Linux tutorial, as there are quite a lot of differences from XP.

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

But with the first step of this tutorial, i download automatically from terminal the file, and i don't know where they are saved.

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

find / -name maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta2.sh

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

Check your browser settings to find out where you have saved it, if you do not get asked where to store when downloading stuff...

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

I have still a problem:
i have 'cd' on the right directory(home/USER) but now it give me another error:

If i write sudo ./memo-etc...
the error is:
if i write without 'sudo'
./maemo-etc...
the error is:
help me please!

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

Are you sure the file is executable ?
if not, try "chmod a+x ./maemo[...].sh", and try again to run it with sudo ?

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

sorry for my stupidity, but also with this instruction it give me "command not found"
but isn't there a procedure easyer than this?

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

I'm not aware of an easier procedure, but maybe posting screenshots could help us locate the problem?
If even chmod gives you an error, there's something wrong somewhere.

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

Use "sudo sh ./maemo-...."

Sudo needs a "proper" command after it.

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

when i give the chmod command it give me this error(attachment)

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

i test this...

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

Ah, now it works. Just follow the instructions it gives you and remove VDSO support.
That happened to me too, but the permanent solution it gives let me get to the next steps.

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

i must do the permanent solution or the "only for this session" one??

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

for this time i have been executed the "only for this session" and now it is installing correctly the scratchbox, thanks to all, and sorry for my incompetence

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

Hi,
test first the path of the maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta2.sh

and set the permits to exec the file with chmod +x maemo...sh

After these step

launch the file on the terminal with :

sh maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta2.sh

always occurs the path of maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta2.sh !!

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

I stumbled over the same two things a few days ago. Unfortunately, the Maemo 5 Beta 2 SDK Installation docs can't be that easily edited. Who is the responsible editor? Should we file bugs in the bugzilla for this?

After the download, I had to do the
to be able to launch the shell script.

And then to permanently change the VDSO support in my Ubuntu as described in a post from Karoliina:

Code:

---

$ sudo su
$ nano /etc/sysctl.conf

---

Add a new line

Code:

---

vm.vdso_enabled = 0

---

to the end of file.
Press ctrl-x to exit and save.
Then (while remaining as root) run:

Code:

---

sysctl -p

---

Finally type

Code:

---

exit

---

to return to previous shell

Now you can finally
This will get scratchbox and install it on your system. Time needed: 5-10 minutes

Once this has finished, do:
Will take another 5-10 minutes to install.

Then setup is complete. You can now launch scratchbox etc. according to the article.
Unfortunately, you then have only a very empty "virtual N900" to play around. Best thing is to add the Fremantle Extras repositories to your installation: create the file(s) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extras-repo.list under your scratchbox targets.

This will then enable you to apt-get some applications to have something to play around :-)

I have still another error, when i write this commandi hope you help me still.

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

I suggest trying the command "adduser vaselli sbox" (since you have to add the user "vaselli" to the group "sbox")

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

it give me
L'utente «vaselli» fa già parte del gruppo «sbox».
The user "vaselli" is almost part of the group "sbox"

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

someone help me please!!!

i had almost added the user "vaselli" to the "sbox" group but it give me the same error!!!

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

do you run the script with sudo/su or with the user session ?
If you do it without sudo/su and it still doesn't work, I don't see where the error comes from.

BTW, I think you wanted to say "already", not "almost" ("You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means";))

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

have you tried:

alternatively you could try to log out and log in again.

Since you are familiar with windows have you considered: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wik...id=1033&type=g

Current thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31141&page=4

This is basically a VM image that will pretty much setup everything for you.

thanks at everyone which posted here for help me!

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

i am doing the last step but there is another error :(

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

The Nokia Binaries URL was unstable yesterday (The first couple times I tried I got the same error mesage). I would just retry that step in the instructions.

Just make sure that you have included the "deb" line in "both" scratchbox's sources.list files that you got from the nokia web site...

Nathan.

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

i know a only source.list...

you would say X86 and ARMEL???

Re: How to install SDK on Ubuntu Hardy
 

Sorry, yes source.list -- and you need to have it on Both the Armel and X86 targets. Do an Apt-get update then apt-get install.

Nathan.
