Hi All,

I registered on this forum yesterday and this is my first post. I want thank all developer for your hard work.

Since morning I am trying to install ubuntu, but till now unable to boot ununtu.

Please suggest possible solution.

Here is my output - [used pali's uboot]

1. [ubuntu+custom] Script failed after "apt-get -y dist-upgrade" due to linux-image-3.2.26's zimage. After that I stoped working on it.

2. [core+custom] I got these issues which I have resolved -
[Issue1] loadkeys: not found
[Fix1] apt-get install console-tools
[Issue2] failed to create pty
[Fix2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...rt/+bug/936667
[Issue3] findkeymap: no such file or directory
cannot open file /lib/udev/keymaps/nokia-n900.map
[Fix3] cp /lib/udev/keymaps/nokia-n900-keys.map /lib/udev/keymaps/nokia-n900.map
[Issue4] SIOCSIFHWADDR no such device
[Fix4] commented "ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <mac>" from /etc/rc.local file


3. [core+custom] These are my unresolved issues -
[Issue 1] failed to obtain info for control (no such file or dir)
[Issue 2] /etc/rc2.d/S20n900-alsamixer-settings: failure: not found
[Failed Fix] I tried to fix via "alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store" but failed
[Issue] cannot create dir /dev/cmt : file exist

included the following lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-input-n900.conf:
Code:
        Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
        Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"
        Option "EmulateThirdButtonThreshold" "30"
FOr me it was /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nokia-n900-input-rules.conf file instead of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-input-n900.conf

I got this error -
Code:
root@ubuntu:/# ip link
Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol
So I used this -
Code:
iface=$(ifconfig|grep wlan|awk '{print $1}')
ether=$(grep 'address' /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | awk '{print $4;}' | cut -d '"' -f 2)

I did following minor changes in install.sh (rev 132) to make it work for me, please take a look

Code:
$ diff -bB install.sh ../Downloads/install.sh 
264c264
<         mkfs.vfat "${dev}p${target_partition_suffix_fat}" || exit 1
---
>         mkfs.vfat "${dev}${target_partition_suffix_fat}" || exit 1
267c267
<         mkswap "${dev}p${target_partition_suffix_swap}" || exit 1
---
>         mkswap "${dev}${target_partition_suffix_swap}" || exit 1
269,271c269,271
<     mkfs.ext3 "${dev}p${target_partition_suffix_root}" || exit 1      
<     tune2fs -O ^huge_file "${dev}p${target_partition_suffix_root}"
<     e2fsck -pf "${dev}p${target_partition_suffix_root}" || exit 1
---
>     mkfs.ext3 "${dev}${target_partition_suffix_root}" || exit 1      
>     tune2fs -O ^huge_file "${dev}${target_partition_suffix_root}"
