[TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
Hi all I have manage to port ubuntu, fedora, and archlinux just like easy-debian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izZ_eSUtBQo
First of all let me thanks to qole for the job he has done , I modify the scripts he used to run Meego in Xephyr in order to run this linux distros WARNING: Do this at your own Risk!!! There are still so much work to do, this is a work in progress project so keep that in mind if you want to install this So lets go, first of all, you need this: * Easy-chroot installed * Easy-Debian (not necessary but recommended) * Rootsh and nano installed on the device Please follow all the steps in orden, pay special attention in the locations of the files. 1. Now lets start with UBUNTU Download the ubuntu image, you can find this in http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9566996/ubun....img.ext2.lzma Extract it and put it on MyDocs Install ubuntu-n900.deb using app-manager To fix your Date take a look here http://ubuntuone.com/p/Uq9/ http://ubuntuone.com/p/Scp/ 2. FEDORA: the process it’s almost the same Download the fedora image, you can find this in http://db.tt/CG5fZnJ Install this: fedora-n900.deb http://ubuntuone.com/p/UqA/ 3. It’s ARCHLINUX Time!! This process its a little bit more complicated, you need this: a. You can download the rootfs from www.archmobile.org and make your own *.img.ext2 file or download the one that I made (recommended) from http://ubuntuone.com/p/S9p/ b. The scripts made by qole and modified by my self http://ubuntuone.com/p/Unu/ 3.1 Extract the scripts folder and put it on /home/user 3.2 Open Xterminal and type Code:
cd /home/user/archlinux Code:
pacman -Syu Code:
touch /usr/bin/starte17 Code:
DISPLAY=:3 enlightenment_start Exit all Now download this file http://ubuntuone.com/p/ScL/ unziped and copy to MyDocs in your device then open a new xterminal and type Code:
sudo cp /home/user/MyDocs/wmctrl /.archlinux/usr/bin Code:
#!/bin/sh open a new xterminal and type this Code:
sudo gainroot Code:
#!/bin/sh 3.6 keyboard fix: Download this file http://ubuntuone.com/p/Swk/ unziped and put it on MyDocs Open a new terminal and type Code:
sudo mv /home/user/MyDocs/set-focus /.archlinux/usr/bin PD: Hope that everything works well. Any suggestions and corrections are welcome Some screenshots: http://ubuntuone.com/p/S9L/ http://ubuntuone.com/p/S9M/ http://ubuntuone.com/p/S9N/ http://ubuntuone.com/p/S9O/ http://ubuntuone.com/p/S9P/ |

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux using Easy-Debian
hi there..so does this mean that we don't need to boot into linux distros?meaning, just load it on top of maemo?
mind telling me what's the difference between installing native linux distro and installing linux distro on top of maemo? |
