Hi Guys,

Just did a couple of tries to run SailFish on my N9, tried vgrade-jolla-1.0.3.7 and vgrade-sailfish_r5.1from araya - with the same result, it seems to load, but one third of the vertical screen is not initialized - like I see russian and chinese for "welcome", seems like swiping the screen works - like something changes - but I can hardly consistently control the bahvior and at all having only 2/3 of screen is not the best thing - anybody else ran into this? Any known work around for this?

You probably have incorrect kernel parameter for video buffer.
If you are using ubiboot, you need to set the parameter G_OS<x>_INIT_CMDLINE_APPENDS="vram=6m omapfb.vram=0:6M" (where 'x' depends on the set you are using to start your SailfishOS...)

yes,

settings->Mobile->TapAndHold on operator and add your operators APN in there.

Btw. this should be added to the sailfish wiki since it took me days to realize that 3g actually works if doing this

Having a problem installing Sailfish on my N9. Currently I am using a mac and having a few problems. BTW using this guide (as expected):

http://wiki.maemo.org/Sailfish

My current problems are the following:

1. I keep getting a partition error on my nokia n9. I think the problem is my mac can't open .rpm (although I do have a tool which does it however I don't think it does it correctly). So I have been using a .zip for the MOLSO kernel however I have a feeling that the mac software (flasher etc) aren't compatible with .zip version. Am I correct in thinking this is the case?

2. Has anyone tried this method by installing ubuntu in a virtual machine. I tried using virtualbox however the problem is my virtual box wont detect my n9 in usb mode (I think that is what it is called) it automatically defaults to OSX usb drivers. i.e. (sorry if that hasn't been clear) if I was to run flasher in my virtual machine and in OSX the flasher in OSX would detect the n9.

Yes I have setup guest additions for virtual box which allows usb devices to be used in the virtual machine. I can detect mass storage devices

Just wondered if anyone could help with any of these issues.

Thanks in advance

James

You should have unzipped/unarchived the moslo kernel. It has multiple files inside that you need.

If you have it working with flasher on mac, there isn't a need to use a VM as the instructions should be the same as windows to extract sailfish onto the partition
