Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
It will be far too slow as a chroot.
Use it as a standalone.
XFCE is too slow. LXDE is great.

Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
having just trashed a Easy Debian install because I wanted to go full Squeeze I can definitely feel the appeal of your work :P (easy debian as a stock OS is next to useless by now due to the obsolete software and inability to reliably install new software due to dependencies spread across lenny, squeeze and old-school sid -- Nice proof of concept though!))

Anyway, will definitely be doing this, so huge thanks ;) Think I'm going the Arch route, may be more work but it's what I normally use :D

I have successfully extracted / partition from ubuntu maverick omap image. I have used the scripts on the first page to mount it and enter the chroot, but after starting the gnome-desktop, phone just reboots...

Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
I foud out that my ubuntu maverick filesystem was broken, so I downloaded latest natty omap4 image, extracted the filesystem from disk image, checked with e2fsck and uploaded to n900. Phone now reboots even on simple comands like "echo" executed in chroot environment. Any advice?

Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
I was able to start unity2d after disabling watchdog:

Code:
./flasher-3.5 --set-rd-flags=no-omap-wd
./flasher-3.5 --set-rd-flags=no-ext-wd
./flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode
(not working with flasher for windows)

But when I was trying to close the chrooted Xephyr, phone initiated a correct reboot cycle and I was not able to start unity again. (Maybe related to multiboot. I guess it could enabled the watchdog. Will verify later, when I get microusb cable again.)

Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
So anybody figured out if it's possible to boot directly into these?

kingoddball 2011-05-28 08:49
Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
These are chroot. Virtual machine-ish things... You want to boot directly?
Multiboot and extract to SD and see how you go....

Yeah, thought so.
Just wondering why nobody has tried this yet, etc. installing ArchLinux on their N900.

The problem is that I'm kind of clueless, so if somebody were to give it a shot, please do a step by step.

kingoddball 2011-05-28 08:59
Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
No drivers for supporting the phone.
Chroot uses maemos drivers.
Use ubuntu if you Want. It's all nicely done.

Deafboy 2011-05-28 13:13
Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
There are already attempts to boot custom distro on n900.
Debian for example: https://elektranox.org/n900/installation/index.html

For ArchLinux, there is an image available for arm devices

Installing as in? I installed Archlinux as chroot and it runs fine. The problem with Archlinux is mainly that itīs build tools have not been compiled for arm, so as a result of that itīs not very convenient to make things run on the n900, unless you already run a version of Archlinux on another machine and thus are able to compile basic neccessities like a browser and such.

To chroot Archlinux, get the keyboard running, etc, all information is already in this thread.

Thanks juandp77 for this wonder post. Its really helpful.

Installed Fedora using the latest lzma image from qole .

chroot works but every time I try to start the XFCE, it closes on its own without any error or warning message.

What am I missing?? Somebody please help me out!!!

Is the Ubuntu image of the original post definitely lost, with no mirror at all? I tried the ubuntu-m5-v1.img.ext2.lzma file from Qole's website, but ubuntu-N900 fails at mounting it. :(

Sorry for the Noob Q -

How can we run Gnome desktop on here?

More of a proof of concept than for speed

Gnome - Yep.
Find the right packages and if it will install. Yes. :D
I've had a few others run.

I finally gave Up with testing those OS. It was a bit slow and I had a few problems concerning the keyboard under Ubuntu.

dear everyone who miss the files,

i just finished the whole process with ubuntu, it is working fine (thanks juandp77). you can download the image files from here. For me, the "ubuntu-n900.deb" link is working, so you should install the .deb file.

After i downloaded the image file (i mean the one with .lzma extension), i copied it to my n900 MyDocs' folder then i extracted it there with 7zip, but you can of course do this by extract it on your PC then copy the .ext2 file to n900's MyDocs folder. Then launch ubuntu LXDE and smile (:

do you mean you can't download it or it doesn't work with the fedora deb file...? the download worked for me, but i didn't try to run it, so... yes, maybe something is wrong with the image. or the deb file...

Armand360 2011-08-16 19:19
Re: [TUTORIAL-WIP] N900-LINUX: Ubuntu, Fedora and Archlinux
 
the .deb installed flawlessly, the image didn't however. just need this image. unfortunately the OP has been gone for quite a while..
