There have been discussion about Mer in many threads, and Mer discussion does not belong to the "Nokia is porting ubuntu to ARM" -thread, so i made a new thread for this.

Btw, i think subforums for Mer on Ubuntu would be really great...

Incidentally, it also seems to choke on alsa during startup but gets over it well enough to drop me in the terminal. I'll worry about this later... I also occaisionally run into dsp errors on bootup.
How did you install Mer? Did you use imager or grab the really old Hasty tarball?
The imager, that installs the latest version is on launchpad.

What bootmenu are you using? I highly recommend you to use deblet's bootmenu, it has the needed linuxrc option. Penguinbait's bootmenu bolwed up my Mer installatoin once...

I sent you a Jaiku Invitation, look at #reconstructedPOC

I think we've moved well beyond "useful subdivisions" to "spam". . . .

Sorry I haven't responded... I've been out of town interviewing in Connecticut and Toledo and later this week I'll be going to Kalamazoo. I used both bootmenu's and they both seemed to work just fine for me. It was scrolling through the black linux startup information, but xserver would fail to start.

I used the deblet install instructions and it all seemed to work pretty well. I'm pretty sure the problem was related to my xorg.conf. I didn't know what the specifics were for it, so I had just general stuff in there which I thought would work since it's supposedly failproof now in ubuntu (must just be for x86???).


BTW, the jaunty bootstrap image from launchpad is what I used and it seemed to work well with no errors.

Sorry about posting to that other thread, but I wasn't sure what would be best.

GA: I'm not sure I'm following your spam comment? Care to elaborate?

GA keeps his socks, underwear and t-shirts in one drawer, and he doesn't see why anyone would waste drawers keeping them separate.

I think he keeps his food in that drawer also no need to separate things at all really.

Well, after a certain point the proliferation of subforums just results in difficult navigation. While people familiar with the site may find it useful (I don't know, I'm not one of them) I'm inclined to think the proliferation of (largely meaningless) choices will just confuse newcomers and end up causing a lot of trouble for little benefit.

Personally, I browse from the front page (or one of the "recent activity" searches), so I don't pay any attention at all to the subforums, but keeping the divisions down to a minimum reduces confusion and prevents irritating fragmentation.
