maemo.org - Talk - Porting Sailfish to N9

@vincr: would also be a good option for me. Multiboot of MeeGo/Sailfish and more is possible (see ubiboot readme) and this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXk7HkAa1Wc but I also don't know how to set up partitions.

Seems like you must reinstall, but then Harmattan won't be harmed:
http://www.jollatides.com/2013/12/09...n-n9-tutorial/

Does anyone know a way to backup everything? Not just settings, like the backup prog does? Anyone tried backing up all files and just overwrite a fresh flashed N9 with that?

I formulated my question wrong..:) I meant to delete the Sailfish partition, how to do it.. :)

unfortunately the idiot ubuntu changed my disk to GPT partition
I had no choice to wipe everything out and re install the OS.
all I could recover was around 200GB out of 600GB data, all the files now in 8 digits hardto find my works, my backup disk doesnt contain lastest activities, anyays thank you guys, I agree debian is the best, ubuntu idiot

@CodeRUS
My friend, it wasnt accidentally repartitioninig or rm -rf command
if you install the debian and u want to install ubuntu over the debian
the installation, one of the confusing option is "Replace Debian 7.0 with Ubuntu" this option is very dangerous
I didint know it will replace my whole hard disk
anyways am pass, I will starover on july

Hi,

I've seen on the first page, there are a lot of bugs with N9 and Sailfish. What do the N9-Sailfish users say today? Is it usable as main phone?

Best regards,
lazart

No.
Don't use it. Harmattan is much better. Sailfish has farrrrrrrr to many bugs

I dont know the guy personally, he has a profile here (eccenux http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=57154) and his post around creating the rescueCD here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=10

Apparently, he made it, with help from others, from an original artikle (which is now dead, but archived) here http://archive.today/CpxsL

What you may also (manually) do is use sfdisk. But according to your first sentence in your post I doubt you know that tool?

Show us

Code:

/sbin/sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

sorry for late response ...

Code:

 ~# /sbin/sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0



Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 485120 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track

Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
