Re: Ubuntu 12.04 on N900 with U-Boot
 

Check post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=296 for some info on what has worked for me.

I am trying to fix my N900, so at the moment I can not test anything, but I can try to help in other ways.

Re: Ubuntu 12.04 on N900 with U-Boot
 

Finally managed to make it work:

after install.sh finished, I run the below commands:

1.) apt-get install console-tools *** this is to fix loadkeys not found ***
2.) apt-get install net-tools *** to fix ifconfig not found ****

3.) apt-get install lxdm

reboot, and it worked.

Ubuntu 12.04 is working on my N900. Thanks for the guide!
Here are some photos (on the Ubuntu Greek Forum):

As you may have noticed I stopped working with Ubuntu and switched to Arch for N900. The main reasons are:
0. Chroot from Maemo works on Arch.
1. Active work of others with Arch.
2. Lack of interest from Ubuntu/Linaro people.
I'm going to try 13.04 but not sure about the future versions.
I encourage everyone to try Arch too, here is the thread:

For **********-'s sake, read post before your post (tm). That brainless bumping you've made to 124543654567653456 threads is more than irritating.
