Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible? Edit: Yes! It is!
 

Hello,
Is it possible to build a chroot (i.e. meego.img) image of meego 1.2?

Qole made one earlier using .ext format, but I need a .img.

I built a Meego 1.2 image (Qoles guide!) which is running on N900 and Galaxy s2!

Re: Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible?
 

are you sure they aren't the same thing?
Typically, an .img file is just an ext(2-4) filesystem-on-a-file; thus a .ext image would probably be the same thing with a different extension.

Re: Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible?
 

Can't you just convert image types? You can with VM virtual harddisk's an optical media images, so...

Sorry!
I screw up.
I made one :D

Also, yes, you can just rename qoles one.
I made a chroot using meego 1.2
Does any one want a copy?

It's just a basic/core Meego (no gui).

I'm using a bunch of hacked up (to an extent) scripts to boot on Android, but it's running.

Need to try and get a GUI running. The image I build is a 1.2CE core.

Re: Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible?
 

/me wants a copy. And the scripts, too! ;)

Re: Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible? Edit: Yes! It is!
 

I will upload it now.
I need help building scripts :(
If you are willing to help, we can get a GUI/VNC running!!!!

I built it using a core package (170MB), but I am trying to build another now using full package (500MB).

Also, I will upload to dropbox now (DL size: 170mb - no gui) - says 27 minutes (slow upload).

One word - uxlaunch.

Re: Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible? Edit: Yes! It is!
 

You're going to run into immense trouble as the GLESv2 drivers in the chroot does not work with the kernel we have on Maemo5. And you can't copy in the Maemo5 ones as MeeGo is hardfp.

Re: Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible? Edit: Yes! It is!
 

I didn't think I would even get a prompt.
I'm happy enough just getting the prompt. It's a big achievement for me :D

We'll see how we go, if we get no where. No loss.

This link is for the basic version (core).

The way I booted it on Android was to rename to file to bt.img and use backtrack scripts (works using ubuntu scripts).

Re: Meego 1.2 CE - chroot: Is it possible? Edit: Yes! It is!
 

You can rebuild MeeGo CE to softfp instead if you want.

Here is a link to BT5 scripts: http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/b...scripts_v2.zip

From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1162662

If you want to do a shonky boot on Android: Locate meego image to sdcard/bt/
and call it bt.img

Just boot using guide on XDA (start bt, then bt)

I have build another meego chroot using the full meego n900 image but it's no better than smaller.

What I will try and do is build a chroot from a different hardware.
Beagleboard, Pandabord or any other arm7(?) device.

I will post up qoles scritps and maybe someone can piece together a script that could boot a VNC to get a GUI?

Edit: I didn't build from source. I downloaded the raw.bz2 from meego webby :(
I am not any good at this developing or building stuff :(

To check OS version: "cat /etc/*-release

Android Script for VNC:
You need to type "UI" in the back track image before you boot VNC:

echo " [ STEP 2 ]"
export kit=/sdcard/bt
export bin=/system/bin
export mnt=/data/local/bt
export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root
# Mounting Image to the farthest loop point
# FIXME : check if mount sucessfull otherwise abort whole process.
mknod /dev/block/loop254 b 7 254
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop254 $kit/bt.img
busybox mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop254 $mnt
mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts
mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys
#fix for SGS2
#mkdir -p $mnt/data/local/tmp
#seting environment
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
echo "Setting /etc/resolv.conf to Google Open DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4"
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > $mnt/etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> $mnt/etc/resolv.conf
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" > $mnt/etc/hosts
echo "BackTrack Loader by Anant based on ubuntu loader"
echo " [ STEP 2 COMPLETE ]"
echo " "
echo "BackTrack is ready just type 'bt' (without the quotes)"


I think I'm barking up the wrong tree with the GUI :(

Possibly using a MeeGo build from different hardware will yield better results. I just don't understand the whole VNC thing rather than Xypher.
I love the easy of Maemo!
