Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Hi to all
Hopefully I have put this in the correct forum.

Trying to port sailfish to my nokia n9. Everything worked fine while following various instructions from some very smart people on the web. (Great job you are all doing out there with N9 and sailfish) There is one problem though that I am having and have not been able to find an answer.

When I ported my N9 the first time I installed sailfish version 1.0.2.5 which came in a bz2 file. It started up fine when booting into sailfish. Then after using it for a little while I noticed that it was a very old version so I wanted to update to the latest sailfish version. I managed to find the latest sailfish version 1.1.1.27 bz2 which I extracted to Nokia N9 to replace the older version but sailfish would not load up after booting into it. It come up with a message...."OS kernel not found...boot up in maintenance mode".

Then i noticed that the original sailfish file I used for my porting from various sites, version (1.0.2.5) is only about 330 MB. The latest version I tried installing (1.1.1.27) file is about 2.5 GB.

So I have a couple questions.
Why is the file so different in size?
Is the latest version and the size of the file the reason why sailfish doesn't load up cause there is no room on the N9?
Is the boot process looking for a different startup file with the latest version?
What does the command "mount /dev/mmcblk0p4" mean and does it create a partition at a particular size...maybe too small?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

2.5 G is too much I think, unless it is the uncompressed size?!

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

AFAIK all prepared SFOS ot Nemo filesystem images have the bootable kernel in /boot/bzImage (which then again is a symlink to the actual kernel in same directory)

You can check if it exists correctly for example by mounting your ALT_OS directory in harmattan and looking there:

~ # mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/
~ # ls -la /mnt/boot/
total 9584

The mount command does not create any partitions, it just makes a pre-created partition available to you at certain location.
If you have created your ALT_OS partition (mmcblk0p4) using the default splitter script on the Moslo or ubiboot repair console, then the size of the partition is 4GB which is well suitable for SFOS installation.

I rather suspect something went wrong for you when you extracted the FS image to your partition.

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Hi thanks all for input.

Quick rundown on what I did from scratch....again.
Reflashed Nokia N9 - OK
Flashed open mode kernel - OK
Installed Developer Tools - OK
Partitioned N9 - OK
Extracted Ubiboot and flashed - OK
Installed Sailfish (latest vers 1.1.1.27 direct from sailfish 2.9GB)
-cd /home/user/MyDocs/
mkdir /sailfish
mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /sailfish
tar --numeric-owner -xvjf sailfish.tar.bz2 -C /sailfish/
sync
exit.

When I restart my Nokia N9 I get the following message. (Boot OS/Kernel selection failed! Please run a maintenance boot)

Tried
~ # mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/
~ # ls -la /mnt/boot/
....and get 'no such file or directory'

Any ideas please? Cheers

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Looks like you forgot to create (or better said: resize/extend) mmcblk0p4.
iirc on a stock/reflashed N9 p4 exists but is zero or very small size. So no wonder you miss almost all files of sailfish.
What about 'ls -al /mnt' or 'sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0'?

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

yes..... ls -al /mnt worked and this is my output.

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

So what about
sfdisk -l
?

I am sure your partition 4 is just a few bytes long.
Please check ubiboot thread and wiki how to create/resize that partition (keyword "sfdisk" for manual and "moslo" for automatic).

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Tried /sbin/sfdisk -l and got the following.

/dev/mmcblk0p1 16 16051 160496 5135872 FAT32

/dev/mmcblk0p2 288512 419583 131072 4194304 Linux

/dev/mmcblk0p3 419584 485119 65536 2097152 Linux

/dev/mmcblk0p4 160512 288511 128000 4096000 Linux

disk /dev/dm-0: 0 cylinders 0 heads 0 sectors /track
sfdisk error: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
/dev/dm-0 unrecognised partition table type No partitions found.

Not being an expert in terminal but this looks like the partion p4 is 4GB in size?

Also noticed that the tar.bz2 file that I mentioned previously that is available from various porting sites is actually called a vgrade sailfish version. Would this make a difference to the latest version supplied by sailfish?

Not sure if allowed to put so much data but here is the boot log.

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Yes, partition is 4G.

But something went wrong during extraction. There is no kernel (bzimage) under '/mnt/boot' as boot directory itself is missing.
What is the content of sailfish-1.1.1.27-oss directory??

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Not an expert in terminal but ran this.
cd /sailfish
/sailfish/ # ls -l
Total 0

Is that ok?

Makes me think I have no files.
I have to add that I saw all the files being listed on the terminal screen while they were extracting. Took about 30 minutes or so.

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

No, that is definitely not OK :)

Do you have your SFOS partition mounted to /sailfish/, as that could also look like there'd be no files?

Do "mount | grep mmcblk0p4", and if there is nothing shown, then you do not have it mounted.

If it is not mounted, do "mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /sailfish" as root.
Then do "ls -la /sailfish/" to see if you now can access the files.
If the above command shows files&directories, then do "ls -la /sailfish/boot/" to see that you have the correct kernel setup.

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

ok logged in as devel-su and here are my steps and outcomes identical in terminal screen

~ # mount | grep mmcblk0p4
~ # mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /sailfish
~ # "ls -la /sailfish/
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr27 22:18
drwxrwxr-x 27 root root 4096 Jan1 1970
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jan1 1970 lost+found
drwxrwxr-x 600 1000 1000 20480 Apr27 23:11 sailfish-1.1.1.27-oss
~ # ls -la /sailfish/boot/
ls: /sailfish/boot/: No such file or directory

One thing that I have noticed is that the folders in sailfish-1.1.1.27-oss directory is so different to the folders in the sailfish-1.0.2.5/vgrade version on araya.su website.

Here is the folder structure for the sailfish-1.0.2.5/vgrade
bin
boot
dev
etc
home
lib
media
mnt
opt
proc
root
run
sbin
srv
sys
tmp
usr
var


This has a boot folder but why so different? Does that mean that the version directly from sailfish website can not be loaded on nokia n9 because it does not have the correct folder structure?

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

OMG.

Now I get it. You are trying to run sailfish with the extracted sources!
Of course this is not going to work.
Take the tar from araya and extract that one to /dev/mmcblk0p4

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Exactly. You need a "filesystem snapshot" of SFOS, which means fully populated directories containing the binaries, scripts, settings and everything else, with correct permissions and users.

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Oh ok. :D
The reason I am using the file directly from Sailfish is because the tar from araya seems to be an older version which when I installed previously was very buggy. Hence why I am trying to upgrade to latest version of SFOS.

Is it possible to install the araya one and update the SFOS through the phone?
or
Is it possible to create a 'filesystem snapshot' of SFOS using the latest tar from SF.

I'm just trying to understand...how do others install the latest SFOS(2.0) on a Nexus 5 phone for example?
Cheers :)

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

I think those snapshots are the latest available for N9. (cannot remember though what is the latest vesion numer)


The filesystem snapshots for N9 cannot really be updated same way (over-the-air, like SSU) as the Jolla phone can. This is because the HW adaptation (the part which is closest to the device hardware) is different. Individual higher-level packages can be updated, though, but it is a touch-and-go-operation because there are lots of interdependencies.


Well, that's easy, same way I have next-to-the-latest SFOS on my Nexus7 device :D
You need to compile and build the filesystem image yourself on your computer from sources first using the HD development guide.
However, that document details only how the system is built for a device having the HW adaptation ripped from CyanogenMod. For N9 you have to base the HW adaptation on Nemo; this means you have to pretty much build it by yourself :)

Re: Latest Sailfish Version for N9 Porting
 

Thanks everybody for your input.
Obviously I am resigned to the fact that I will not be able to use the latest sailfish on my N9 and will have to wait until Jolla comes to Australia. :(
Cheers
