XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
How to easily install XFCE on your tablet. You need some free space, but NO PARTITIONING CARDS NECESSARY, NOT EVEN SCRIPTED
More information about XFCE can be found http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?p=75210 This will create a 512MB file on your SD card Its just a file and can sit on the VFAT (windows formatted) MMC card /media/mmc1/XFCE.img or /media/mmc2/XFCE.img or Somewhere else (maybe version 2) there is a third menu option, but I did not make it work yet You will choose from the menu, once you start the XFCE-INSTALL.sh script, but I am getting ahead of myself... Just keep reading!!! :-) Anyway we will make a 512MB EXT2 or Linux partition on inside that file, and then mount it on /usr/local, this will give you enough room to install XFCE without needing bootmenu or partitioning you SD cards. Nice for the newbies!!!! And the Lazy like myself... INSTALL BECOMEROOT http://eko.one.pl/maemo/dists/bora/u....1-2_armel.deb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Setup xterm Repository #Maemo Hackers http://maemo-hackers.org/apt bora main ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INSTALL XTERM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Download TARBALL http://penguinbait.com/XFCE-INSTALL.tar Sleeps over, enjoy If you save this in your documents directory, run the following If you save somewhere else, adjust command accordingly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Run xterm type sudo gainroot cd /root tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/XFCE-INSTALL.tar ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DO THIS STEP BEFORE PRECEEDING!!! You will need some sources setup in order to complete this, I DO NOT WANT TO MESS UP YOUR SOURCES So, that being said, you need these sources to complete the install, e2fsprogs is needed. You can manually enter and update in the application manager or you may already have these setup. You can also run sources.sh in XFCE-INSTALL/ To add and update #maemo:name Maemo Extras http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora free non-free #maemo:name Maemo http://repository.maemo.org/ bora free non-free #maemo:name Minimo http://home.ufam.edu.br/~agan/minimo bora user i ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RUN INSTALL SCRIPTS cd XFCE-INSTALL ./source.sh (If you need it) If there it a problem and you don't have these setup, it will tell you ERROR ERROR it can not find e2fsprogs or some such ./XFCE-INSTALL.sh (NOTICE There are some things you may need to answer yes, a no, and you will have to start all over.) Also if you already downloaded the XFCE-6-INSTALL.tar.bz2 file, or if you want to download it manually, just place the file in the XFCE-INSTALL/ directory and run ./XFCE-INSTALL.sh , and it will use the local copy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just follow the menus follow menu options to install, its that simple, this installs without partitioning your SD/mmc card. It creates an EXT2 filesystem in a fle on the VFAT partition. Answer yes to everything or you will need to start over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INSTALL COMPLETE Want to try XFCE, this is your opportunity, WOO HOO, let me know how it goes, who dares to be first???? What you need to know, do you have enough space on your mmc? and root filesystems? Nokia-N800-26:~/INSTALL# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mtdblock4 2.0M 1.8M 256.0k 88% /mnt/initfs none 512.0k 64.0k 448.0k 13% /mnt/initfs/tmp /dev/mtdblock4 251.5M 240.8M 80.7M 76% / none 512.0k 64.0k 448.0k 13% /tmp none 1.0M 60.0k 964.0k 6% /dev /dev/mmcblk1p1 7.6G 2.9G 4.7G 38% /media/mmc1 /dev/mmcblk0p1 1.9G 1.4G 594.9M 70% /media/mmc2 In the case shown here mmc1 has 4.7GB Free and mmc2 has 594MB free, we only need 512MB, so you can install to either mmc card Notice also / (root) has 80MB free, we need about 65MB to install. The install script will download the 61MB file to install XFCE, this may take a long time depending on your connection and the number of others downloading. It will download into the XFCE-INSTALL directory, so wherever you untar it, you need to have 65MB free. You can also download the file manually and place it in this directory, and it will install from there. When you are done you should move/delete the 62MB install file onto mmc, if its on your flash filesystems, or you could put it in /usr/local/. NOTICE IF YOU CANCEL A DOWNLOAD IN PROGRESS AND YOU WANT TO RE-RUN THE INSTALL, remove XFCE-6-INSTALL-tzr.bz2 before restarting the install script This is version one, I look forward to others building off my script to update this into a uber script, please feel free to submit any suggested changes to 770@penguinbait.com or here. Again this is version one and I test on fresh flash only, and it installs XFCE for you, so it meets its purpose, no matter its crudeness This is a separate thread, because I did not want to muck up the other thread with install-script related questions, they should be posted here NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE If you downloaded this script prior to 4:10PM EST on Friday Sep 14, 2007, please download it again. I found a small problem in my script, the tarball has been fixed as of right now. If you installed to mmc1 it created a file in /usr/bin/ called mount1.sh inside /usr/bin/mount1.sh Download -> mount.sh You need to change this sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1 sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc1 to this sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1 sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2 Sorry, intall script has been updated, |

Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
I will give this a try asap. Which in my world these days means maybe this weekend - if I am lucky.

Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Could be a couple of things:
1) My XFCE-6-INSTALL.tar.bz2 is actually on /media/mmc2, and I'm just linking it in (to save space). Maybe the i/o is killing it. I'll move it over. 2) I've been doing this through an ssh session. I've tried it locally on xterm, but again, it died at gaim. |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Very Cool penguinbait
I am very appreciative when people like you do something like this. I hope to try this at home tonight and will try to post the results and what I think about it. Even if it is something that is not usefull to me there I do think it will be usefull to alot of other people, if nothing else it gives us more options to see what works best for the different situations. Thanks Again for giving us something else to play with and modify on the Nokia N800. Dan |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Nope, neither of those two things helped... it just died quicker. To be clear, "died" means that situation where it looks like the blackness bleeds in from the right side of the screen and the n800 winks out of existence. Like BSOD on Windows, but less expected.

Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
mplawner, The current problems with I/O on ITT current firmware are well known, It happens when you put to much load on the mmc's I install from flash, its a bit slower but more stable, but it may cause issues, I seem to have better luck with internal than external.
Just to be clear, its the IO causing the problem, not any of the scripts, this would of hung and crashed for you with or without a script, its the untar of bzip file thats causing your problem. NOKIA, try to untar a bzipped file of 2-300MB uncompressed. See what your tablet does, tell me you can't reproduce it, I can, and so can mplawner, and I am sure many many others This is a firmware issue Good luck mplawner, just be glad you have the script, it would be even more annoying to do this manually several times. |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
BTW, sometimes the script finishes, and goes back to the menu, leaving you wondering if the script finished. If it dumps you back to the menu, it probably finished. Close the menu and run the following.
find /usr/local | wc -l 13311 So if it finished, but your not sure /usr/local should have 13311 files |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Might be worth trying to have the MMC Plus kernel patch installed, if using SD card as a file source. Based on my own experience it seem to handle complex file I/O situations much better than Nokia stock kernel...
I might try it today or during the weekend to see if it works on my tablet. |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
It might also help to install ssh or open another tab and run top, metalayer could be killing you also.
Try this before running the script /etc/init.d/metalayer-crawler0 stop Stopping: Metalayer Crawler: metalayer-crawler0. |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Thanks for all your suggestions and help. I suspect it was the I/O. I did follow the script manually, and everything appears to be clean, it was just writing to the loopback device on the MMC2 card that seems to have caused a problem. Metalayer wouldn't have been it, since I've sorted that out a couple of days back.
Anyhow, I'm doin' it "old-school," since I've now got a partition I have been using for all the different flavors of wms you've been churning out. In fact, I'm looking for a separate thread to start with the pros and cons of each of the wms you've released, and which ones can play nicely together! Thanks again, and keep 'em coming. Looking forward to GNOME with compiz fusion! ;) |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
OK - dumb question - my .img is not getting mounted , mount failed, not a block device. My understanding of -o loop option is that it will mount a file on the loopback as block device .... so ... any clue where this might be failing ?

Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
In bad form, I am answering myself...
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...?t=3140&page=2 -o loop is not supported by the mount-command on the 770 but somebody from the mailinglist made a binary of losetup which lets you work around that. So, if I can find or compile losetup, it should work. Of course, since I am booting from my card and not flash, and I made a 1gb partition, I can just untar the XFCE stuff to usr/local, since I have enough space. But, I was interested in finding out why the loop device is not working, and not everyone is booting off thier SD card.... |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!

Not sure, it looks like your OK, are you runnning? I can try to compile losetup if it can not be found? I thought it was in the firmware at some point I played with it, but I never installed it? |

I actually already grabbed it from http://packages.debian.net/sid/mount/armel/download I just unarchived it and grabbed the losetup binary, and it worked like a champ :-) of course, now my 770 craps out trying to bunzip/untar..... So, I untarred everything on my mac, and plugged into USB and am copying the files over....then, I will remount the image and mv them from the card (not in the image) to the image. Then I will play with XFCE for a few days, and decide I don't need it. What a way to waste time :-) |

Well you could do this, does the Hacker edition support mount -o loop? Others reported 770 does not, HE is closer to n800 so it may?

Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
I didn't have enough space in root so I flashed, which gave me lots more. Now XFCE is working nicely.
Edit: However, after I spent a few hours reinstalling most of my programs, I made the mistake of choosing the menu option that I took to mean start XFCE on bootup. I thought that would be amusing. It was amusing. I am now perpetually rebooting, which means that I get to reflash the device, reinstall XFCE (If I decide to) and reinstall all the programs I just spent hours reinstalling. There shouldn't be a "trap door" menu option that forces reinstallation, or it should be marked with a skull and crossbones. |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
hi people im with a n770 with 2gb in mmc with dual boot 400mb / 215mb still free for sysop
and i have 1.2gb in the rest of themmc free vfat i have just a doubt if i do this is going to create a img and if i have a prob i just have to delete ?.i dont have to deal wirh particions ? another question after the install i can delete the downloaded file of 62mb of xfce ? and if i am with just one mmc the reference is mmc1 ? correct ? i just dont want to lose data because i work with this and more flashes noooo lololo hoo my old xfce with gentoo , fast fast fast |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
UPDATE-
Got sidetracked with work and other things, not enough time to play with XFCE :mad: I have a 2GB card, and am booting from the 1st partition, using the 2nd as 1GB storage. 1st - using losetup works fine to mount on /dev/loop for the 770 - just grab the binary and throw it in /usr/bin 2nd - my 770 kept crapping out trying to unzip/untar into xfce.img - I don't know if it is I/O, the fact that I am running the OS from the card on 1 partition and trying to write all that data to the second partition, or what. My solution was to create the image on a linux box, and unzip/untar the files into it on there. No problem, 512 MB image created. Of course, when I tried to plug my card into my usb reader on my linux box, it completely crapped out trying to write the files to the card (reminding me of why linux annoys me so much :-) , so I simply plugged the 770 into my Mac and waited an hour while it copied the .img over. The next issue was that there are some files that *don't* go into the image, but on the regular file system. I copied them to card (over usb again) and then cp them to the OS. From my review of the shell script, the only real key was to make sure the .img was mounted on /usr/local before launching XFCE, so I modified it to use losetup to make sure the .img was mounted. So, in theory, it's all good to go ... so I launch XFCE, and get a white screen... 770 is not dead, still working, but I seem to have screwed up one of the following : 1) file permissions on the files I copied to the OS (there were only a couple, some files for /usr/bin, libXdamage in /usr/lib, and the desktop files in /usr/share/applications/hildon, and files in /etc) but they look ok ... 2) I did not copy all the files correctly I see them all there.... permission problem with su/sudo executing properly ? 3) something wrong with my .img but it mounts fine and looks fine... 4) I missed something else entirely :-) Soooooo - whats the best way to debug X on this thing ? Or what might be some suggestions for debugging why X/XFCE is not starting correctly ? Thanks ! ps - after re-running swm4.sh from ssh, I get the following: Nokia770-49:/usr/bin# ./swm4.sh Stopping Keyboard Stopping MAEMO AF Desktop Stopping Matchbox window manager /usr/local/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0.0 /usr/local/bin/xfce4-session: error while loading shared libraries: libICE.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (which I don't have minimo installed - so I guess I expect that one - is not having minimo installed killing a script somewhere else ???) |

Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Hi,
I am on a Nokia 770 and managed to install XFCE with a few tricks and the help of my Linux PC. I didnt get any errors and didnt noticed any problems during the installation. Everything went fine. When I start now XFCE from the Hildon Menu I get the "Starting Screen" and after a while I am on a Desktop with white background and a menu bar on the bottom. The WM-Applets are in the upper left corner, all on the same position overlapping each other. I am able to leave XFCE with the corresponding menu entry and to start some eye candy programs. But thats all. No xterm or settings are accessible. It seems, that the windowmanager itself is not running. Before I start a time intesive troubleshooting my idea was to ask here. Maybe one of you already has a clue by what the problem is caused. Holger |

Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Nice work penguinbait!
I had MAJESTIC problems unpacking the .tbz with reboots due to, I believe, the 'mmc card dies' bug or maybe its simply cos Nokia dont like bzip2 hogging all the cpu and reboot cos their silly watchdog doesnt get reset. I did it by unpackimg one file at a time, while I was asleep-took hours! There is a minor problem in /usr/bin/swm4.sh where the call to something or other stopping matchbox some other version fails. Once thats fixed I get xfce running under matchbox window manager! Not sure how THAT happens yet, I was rather expecting xfwm4 as the window manager. However if you remove the /etc/../keyboard stop bi you can get the thumboard(yay-waytogo pbait!) and everything (more or less) Nokia gives you. You really need to source the af-..crud to get the right names there somehow. I'm still looking to get xfwm4 going but so far I reckon this thing RULEZ! cu Jon |

Yes the tar crash problem is hit or miss with me also, aboout 50% of the time large tars will reboot my n800. I believe this is a reproducable FIRMWARE ISSUE What did you change in swm4.sh? Is this 770 specific or do you have n800? What os are you running? The hildon keyboard is available through the XFCE menu (hildon keyboard start /hildon keyboard stop) If you are having problems starting XFCE, the best option is from the command line, it will then tell you whats wrong, (as user not root) Once you get it up, you should try some printing, I released a CUPS package about 100MB uncompressed, and you can print pictures from the gqview (Image Viewer) available in the XFCE menus http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=10057 |
Re: XFCE INSTALL SCRIPT - NO PARTITIONING - you to can have XFCE!
Whoops! After tar/bzip2 gave me those hassles
evidently I lost out on critical stages of your install.. causing my problems. Specifically in swm4.sh the line source /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.sh.orig stop failed because the .orig file had not been created. I had to comment it out to get any further. That lead to my odd startup using matchbox as the wm - its really not all that bad, in a weird kind of way. I'll try using your script again, just skipping the tar since I have my good .img now. No doubt that will fix up all my issues - sorry for the mistake. Incidentally, as you are God of the window-managers, have you considered xfvwm. Since it allows windows to continue over into neighboring screens, it may well be a better solution for us. In effect it gives you a massive virtual screen-any size you like. Just what we need. So far as printing is concerned -: Nice but.. You still use murdered trees??? I gave that up round about 1985. On those rare occasions I absolutely HAVE to waste a bit of rainforest I let some internet cafe do the dirty deed. |
