Re: Nokia is porting Ubuntu to ARM
 
Stskeeps,
I couldn't get the Maemo-R image on Jaiku to boot on my device. Not sure what the problem is though. The bootloader spits out all of that info from linuxrc,but then stalls.

I'm using an n810 with the OS on my internal (deblet is using my external card).

Anyone have any ideas?

Also, for what its worth: I debootstraped mojo using deblet and it ran smoothly in chroot without any locale issues, etc.

Oh, forgot - splash doesn't work on m-r just yet (it doesn't actually stall), so hold down the home button when you're booting it (after you've selected it and pressed enter) and select console mode / usbnet etc in the rescue menu, then console comes up

Oh...that would make sense.

Qole, the offical ubuntu port seems to have most up-to-date versions of openoffice.org, firefox, gimp, etc...

Hey, meizirkki! That's good news! Can you give me directions to their web page and repositories?

the jaunty armel builds are not complete yet, so there might be many packages missing...

You can view the completed builds at : https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ja...ld_state=built

But i guess it's in an too early state to be useful right now.

Someone give me the heads-up when there's a repository, and I'll bootstrap and post a rootfs for everyone to play around with.

debootstrap deb and the whole system is available at ports.ubuntu.com

The only desktop-environment available for now is ubuntu-desktop (basically gnome with gimp and open-office.) But many apps are already built, like Thunderbird, Firefox, openoffice, gimp, epiphany-webkit (witch i like) and of course all apps that are dependencies of ubuntu-desktop.

It is armv5el. It should be 10-20 % faster than debian (not sure). They will compile arnv6el and armv7 later, when they first get this built.
