Thanks a lot for getting something so complex as this to actually work... and work well!

KDE is now running and pretty damned functional under the 2007HE on my 770 after creating a swap file under /

I was hoping to help a bit... so I am uploading the KDE tar.bz2 to my home server right now and I'll PM you a link to it as soon as it's up.

Screenshot attached!
Feel free to post the link!! Thanks,,,


Glad to see people are still playing with this and that it is working on the 770, awesome indeed.

I just still love looking at those screen shots!!

I bet. Messed up at first and had to reflash, setup for SDHC boot, and NOW it's unpacking the file into the SDHC bootable partition.
I figure 2.5GB of space should be more than enough to play around with KDE.

if you want to play with openbox also, install it before KDE, or seperately from KDE. Installing openbox over KDE will mess it up.

openbox is about 100MB uncompressed

Just an FYI

I am currently booting from flash and mounting 2GB under /usr/local

I wrote a script to fsck /usr/local on boot

Well, I have my day-to-day N800 image on another card.
This one is just for play.
If I do openbox then I'll probably slap it on an old 1GB micro-SD I have laying around here somewhere. But openbox doesn't look as "interesting" as KDE right now.

And it's STILL copying files....

UPDATE: It's done and it's booting into KDE now. Woah.
Now THIS looks a hell of a lot more familiar than Hildon/Maemo.
Any hints on how to speed up the boot process or get it to go straight into KDE when booting from SDHC?

UPDATE#2: Now what about displaying the battery power? Control center tells me APMD or something like that isn't present/running. Also, what about controlling the screen brightness from within KDE? The screen still sleeps after 5 minutes though.

Hey penguinbait, does this mean almost ANY K application can be ported over easily now?
What extra things have you brought over into KDE-N800?

Well, perhaps yes, and perhaps no. You can untar the KDE bundle and put the KDE libs and QT in place inside scratchbox and reference them, you can compile against them.

However, QT and KDE libs compile without issue, so you can compile them yourself also.

I have not even been able to compile the entire KDE suite, for example, KDEPIM I could not get to compile.

I guess what I am saying is, easy, not sure how easy, but yes more KDE apps could be compiled and use my kde libs and QT on IT.
