Unfortunately, my n800 is no longer functional (accidentally hosed the NAND flash to the point of no return - long story) so until i get an N900 to develop/test boot images from, i wont be able to actively develop Ubuntu-NXX0 and the closest environment to a native environment is Scratchbox and qemu

However, if anyone is is still interested and is up to the challenge, i´ll see about creating a launchpad project so (anyone) who wants to directly contribute to the project can. (If this project is to continue there should be other people involved in helping to develop this project and not just me - i don´t have the time/resources required to keep this project going myself, i don´t have as much free time as i use to )

any takers?

How about OBS? Mer has up-to-date hardware support for tablets, and those packages could be "linked" from project to another. Once the original package is updated, the linked will be too.

That´s a pretty nice idea but i fear that if we went with that approach their would be a (LOT) of of broken packages/missing dependences - the package dependency structure of Ubuntu-NXX0 is quite different from Mer. (ubuntu-NXX0 uses the sys-env-* dependency structure)

you can still create your own sys-env-whatever metapackages, but the hardware compability packages could be linked over

hi,

i 'installed' Ubuntu with XFCE on my n810 and i have one problem. my password contains digits and now i can't login to system (Fn+w=w in username field, but i'm trying to write 2).

i tried to chroot from maemo to ubuntu (like at installation - 'chroot /mnt/jaunty') and change password (passwd), but i can't do it - i get error 'chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory'.

what should i do? reinstall?

@produktdotestow How did you install it? I am trying to find the image. Can you send me yours?

Or did you install via some other method?

hmm.. how can i send you my screen image, when i can't login to system? i install it in accordance with instruction from first page (partitioning, formating, mounting, installing: sys-env-x, xubuntu-desktop, tablet-gdm-autologin) with small changes.

The problem for me is that http://www.bman.maemobox.org/project...2.2_rootfs.tgz
no longer exists (the main image needed for the install) So any chance you still have the file?

Just wondering, have you tried sshing into your tablet in ubuntu to re-set your password?

you thought about rootfs archive, but i don't understood you. sorry. you can find it here - http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=108

Thanks, I missed that link.
