Re: Run Linux on top of windows, without a virtual machine
 

And now ... your moment of Zen (er, Xephyr that is). :D

Scratchbox 4.0.1 running the maemo testing environment on Windows via andLinux.

Re: Run Linux on top of windows, without a virtual machine
 

I forgot that I also had to use the following command for the SecurityPolicy error:

cp /mnt/and/Xming/SecurityPolicy /etc/X11/xserver

Re: Run Linux on top of windows, without a virtual machine
 

So, does scratchbox & hildon-theme-tools work fully under andlinux (also the Nokia flasher-3.0)?

Because, I was going to install wubi but saw this and it made me think again.

Thanks/

Re: Run Linux on top of windows, without a virtual machine
 

I don't think andLinux "sees" USB devices plugged in, at least not by default, so you can't flash your tablet that way. Wubi works well for that, OTOH.

Re: Run Linux on top of windows, without a virtual machine
 

Ooh, ok thanks. I looked at Wubi and it seems to be 7.04 and to upgrade you need to transfer to a real partition which IMHO defeats the point.

I think I will reinstall Ubuntu after resizing my Hard drive :(.

Thanks.

Would you mind taking the general instructions for installing Scratchbox and setting up a development environment and specifying what you did additionally (or differently) to get things going using andLinux?

Thanks!

I've never used hildon-theme-tools (yet), but did the following in the Scratchbox running via andLinux:

svn co https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/pr...tools/0.5.2-1/ hildon-theme-tools
cd hildon-theme-tools
dpkg-buildpackage -tc -rfakeroot
cd ..
dpkg --install hildon-theme-tools*.deb

Re: Run Linux on top of windows, without a virtual machine
 

No problem.

I uninstalled many of the KDE apps, and installed quite a few development and GTK+ packages in andLinux. I had to use the ImageResizeTool that comes with andLinux to increase the andLinux hard drive file image from 4GB to 4450 MB to make room for everything and be able to backup the image to DVD-R.

For Scratchbox and the latest Maemo Linux 2008 Chinook 4.0.1 SDK I just followed the steps here: http://www.progbox.co.uk/wordpress/?p=453

except I substituted

• http://repository.maemo.org/stable/4...stall_4.0.1.sh

for

• http://repository.maemo.org/stable/4...install_4.0.sh

and

• http://repository.maemo.org/stable/4...stall_4.0.1.sh

for

• http://repository.maemo.org/stable/4...install_4.0.sh

etc.

Then after installing Xephyr, I eventually figured out to install xfonts-base to fix the "fixed fonts" error and copy the SecurityPolicy to where Xephyr could find it.

cp /mnt/and/Xming/SecurityPolicy /etc/X11/xserver

If you get stuck anywhere, I might be able to assist.

Ok thank you very much but I've been cleaning up my HD to install Ubuntu again :D

Re: Run Linux on top of windows, without a virtual machine
 

I've gotten farther along than I expected :-)

When I start up Xephyr as indicated in Pete Savage's how-to, I get this message:

Xephyr unable to use SHM XImages
error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

I do get a window for Xephyr to open, but it is completely gray.

Any idea what might need to be done?

Thanks,

Roger

Added later: Well, the example worked fine, even with the error message. I guess that means it works!
