That said, 'official' support (whatever that means) might not follow until there is decent mainline support. Currently I've been doing quite some hardware enablement/testing and I don't want to do more of it, but rather focus on software.

There is no image for it yet, but I assume we could help provide such an image.

It's been too long since a status update post, one will follow in the next few days.
Would be very nice, Gemini by default include a flasher where you can select the downloadable android, linux + sailfish ... If you can create an image for their flasher It would be my 3rd boot option ... Gemini is a robust big device and fully open and friendly.

I just received my device had no chance to dig deeper into it, but together with my n900 one of the best choice as far i can see now...

I tried to install Maemo -Leste on Nokia n9 but seems like all files are corrupted or broken.. whenever I tried to extract the file on pc it always gives me an error at the end of extraction.

I followed the steps of sailfish installation and I also flash the latest ubiboot but still not working... just let me know is there any possible way to install on my Nokia n9. if anybody has the working file of Maemo-Leste please share with me and also guide me in the correct way of installation.

Please help me guys, I want to give a try to Maemo-Leste.

Thank You

Hi!

I think you made a github issue too - I asked Parazyd and wicket to check it out. Just to be clear: Maemo Leste on the N9 is very alpha, way more than on Droid4, N900 or on Allwinner devices. If you want to try Maemo Leste, a virtual machine may be the easiest first step.

Thanks for figuring out the extraction issue though, I'm sure we'll have that part fixed soon.

IF you have a working distribution for Gemini please share with us the the kernel and secondary bootloader image (linux.bin, debian_boot.img). Unfortunately as far I have my experiences the flashing the only possibility to manage the multiboot properly and eventually both avaiable distrobutions has some conflict by default in ARM64 apt (debian with libreoffice, kali had some libraries, which seemed to be system library)... But if you can make an image for gemini users, you can use eighter the debian/kali/sailfish to have the wifi driver,audio etc what required, I am not sure if leste in a phase where we can talk about the cellular functionality, with linux wifi would be enough max 4g modem could be handy.

I have read your comment and you told someone "managed" to install it if you have the flash image just send the link across

Hi szilveszter,
Below are the link of Maemo-Laste of N9, N950 & N900. I used to flash in my Nokia n9 with N9 and N950 files but just got stuck with an error. Just for the cross check I also downloaded the file of n900 but the issue was same.. when I tried to extract the file at the end it gives me an error. I faced the same issue with the .img file.

N9: https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n9/20190315/
N900: https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n900/20190225/
N950: https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n950/20190225/


_____________

Thanks to Maemo-Laste team they help me to boot into Maemo-laste..
it is very alpha for Nokia n9, I just booted into Maemo but there is only Menu icon in the left center of the display nothing else. I think I need to wait for the stable version.

Thank You

Better yet, join the effort ... if you can help with some of the work, then that'd help a lot

I just read a bit about kernel 5.1 and the advantages of it. Maemo Leste is 5.0 I believe. In 5.1 there was some mention of ability to use persistent flash memory as ram. Does anybody know better and could it give any new possibilities with N900 (like more ram somehow)? I really don't understand that stuff but just spotted the news.
