Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
Has anyone had any luck getting Virtualbox Guest Additions to work?
After installing the GA's it just goes to black screen. With 3D acceleration enabled in machine settings for the VM it spews out VERR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW message in another VT, without its just black. Edit: reverted to stock image. First boot fails to start X, second seems to work ok. Not going to try GA's yet. |

I'm actually less concerned about the GUI. Hildon is obviously a welcome addition. We need a GUI anyway. I wanted to create a device independent mobile Linux base, based the above ideas. My plan was to create a free version and a non-free version. The non-free version would be something somewhat similar to Leste and would include blobs needed to make it as functional as possible. The free version would obviously be less functional but in the case of the N900 for example, all that would be missing would be video acceleration, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I think there is a need for a mobile OS that can be 100% vetted and this can only be done with free software. The US has virtually complete control all mobile operating systems and I'm surprised this sits well with most countries. I often wonder what kind of mobile phones are issued by non-US governments to their officials. It seems that only the Russians were smart enough to realise the problem. They funded some ex-Nokia employees to make a certain OS well known to this forum ;). Unfortunately they don't want to share all of it with the rest of the world and most ports are stuck with Android kernel forks. You've seen my list of mainline Linux devices. My next list will be of SoCs used in modern phones which already have mainline support but no device support other than dev/evaluation boards. A lot of people are unaware how much work has already been done in mainline. Like I said in my previous post, I want too try to encourage contributions and it might help if more people knew they would not need to start from scratch. That's the basis of my vision. I could elaborate more but that's a discussion for another day. :) Quote:

Agreed on the whole base discussion. We have similar ideas/thoughts. Quote:
We can definitely give some people access to Jenkins. From the UI one can rebuild packages easily. Adding packages to Jenkins requires shell access to the jenkins account. As for the building the image, I think it's completely separate -- I think it's a debootstrap on steriods + kernel building + other stacking scripts. You can just use our repos when doing that. Right now most open tasks don't require one to set up their own Jenkins or build their own image, I think. When I help parazyd with debugging an image, I just test the image, fix that needs to be fixed (kernel params, packages missing, wrong versions, missing scripts, config) and then let him know. And then makes a new image - repeat. |

Messed around a bit with usb applet and battery applet.
Neither are functional yet, have to replace the hal parts, but getting there. https://wizzup.org/n900-initial-battery.png https://wizzup.org/initial-usb-applet.png |

Edits/updates in blue...
I finally got around to trying Leste last night. I tried the N900 armel build (maemo-leste-1.0-armel-n900-20180207.img.xz) and I have a few observations... Code:
[ 62.738] [3/504] There appears to be a bug (watchdog kicks in perhaps?) which causes a complete shutdown when switching run levels. Fremantle also had this quirk. I'll file this on the bug tracker soon, after I've done more testing. Never mind about this. I found the tarball which is easy enough to unpack to a single slice. Although it still might be worth removing the /boot line from the fstab, at least for the tarball, as it's not needed. Wizzup pointed out that this relates to new ext4 features. I guess these are incompatible with kernel-power's ext4 support. Found that the openrc package it explicitly added to the Leste image build. Good choice in my opinion. Also found out that is installable using the expert install path in Ascii. I'll probably integrate this soon. In the long term, we may want to set up these things in Hildon on its first run. Fremantle does something similar. |

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
Taking the same code snippet from Cordia, you could check a setting for touchscreen cursor visibility and set it to selected cursor. Other than needing a section in Hildon control panel, pretty straightforward.
For screen recording, at least regarding N900, I would use a desktop and make use of the click animation in the desktop software, if it works with VMs. For that reason, I would leave the touch cursor for now. |
