whatsup ? Current status :)

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
 

could you chroot arch? someone could do that?

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
 

Do you mean chrooting from Maemo? It works.

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
 

could you support that with an image? egl , sound ,wi-fi? all ok ?

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
 

As said thousands of times - "wifi" (I assume you mean networking, in general) doesn't have much to do with chroot, as "real" system provides it. If your chroot isn't malfunctioning as per se (i.e. not related to what you're chrooting into), you will have networking OOTB.

What do you expect by "image"? All files are in first post, you can use them to chroot into arch right now. If you're using easy-chroot from qole, you would be interested in using directory based chroot, or partition based one (see EasyDebian thread). Otherwise, you may pack it up into image file - if you don't know how to do it, jsut grab Ed image file, mount it, rm -r it's content, and copy Arch belongings there. Your Ed image will become Arch one.

That said, I don't see much reason for you to do so - I don't mean any offense (seriously!), but if you have questions like in above post, I don't think you need Arch chroot. It's not EasyArch variation of EasyDebian, where everything is (expected) to work out of the box, with full desktop (aka "click this, click that") experience. It *may* get configured this way by user, but it isn't main goal of N900's arch releases.

It doesn't matter what kind of networking it is. If maemo can reach network, your chroot will be able too (until it's screwed at the point not related to what you're chrooting into, or you have configured it otherwise on purpose).

estel what gui are you using?
i ha ve changed the user and password, and now i can't find them , if i replace the passwd file with the one povided here wich si default login and passwd? thank you:D incorrect login throws me now

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
 

In my opinion the easiest way is to mount the Arch rootfs in Maemo and edit /etc/shadow. Find the line that contains your username (should be sth like that):
user:$6$IF/h5gZo$z0sdsa23ttttdfdasdHsd2cSQWtXAeUrDc4maOkYz0K0 csHThQ0Oj/VyyUzmOAKCsts70C58Yueq3DbaETiL.:15765:0:99999:7:::
and change it to (remove all characters between two first semicolons):
user::15765:0:99999:7:::
et voila - the password is removed.
And for the rootfs provided here, AFAIR login/passwd is root.

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
 

after folowing your advice same thing:
localhost login:
Password:
thank you
fixed , thank you i was misstype a line

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
 

That's very strange, as I did the same thing right now, and there is no asking for password. Are you sure that you have edited /etc/shadow from the Arch rootfs (and not from Maemo)?
