BackTrack 5 (arm) released - Page 28 - maemo.org

azkay | # 271 | 2011-05-19, 08:39 | Report

So far I have a working debian image, a working openbox and a wallpaper.
qchroot /home/user/MyDocs/squeeze_arm.img /mnt/deb
su root
./startbt5

Now to work on getting the keyboard working, then organising the theme/menus, then installing stuff.

//EDIT::
Keyboard working.

I would do all of this for the bt5 image, but I think its pretty borked in general. I cant even stay chrooted into it for more than 10 seconds without the ssh/putty connection getting disconnected.

Now to theme/menu/install.
What should I install on it?

Anyway, should be awake in about 12 hours. Hold out until then and ill post my current image. Uploading it before I leave.

//EDIT::
The image will be available at http://www.azkay.com/squeeze_arm.rar in about 15 minutes from this last edit.

Code:

CRC32: A453F8E5
MD5: 2948B696B30902343DAD4B03158DBBF5
SHA-1: 104741B7F426B9475EBC891EB7466BABBAD520E1

It currently has openbox, firefox, scite and working keyboard.
Tomorrow ill work on it more, adding the backtrack repos etc.

to use:

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://www.azkay.com/squeeze_arm.rar
unrar(?) - Forgot the command to unrar under linux, uploaded it from my Windows install- my bad.

mkdir /mnt/bt5
qchroot squeeze_arm.img /mnt/bt5
su root
./startbt5

Click anywhere on the wallpaper to bring up the menu. Terminal/Browser works, rest ill have to add in as I install.

Have fun.

//EDIT::
Uploaded

I don't know if it is a result of my messing with my N900 or it is normal, but I noticed that when I mount any image at /mnt/something, tracker and thumbnailer are going crazy and don't stop untill unmounting... Maybe mounting it somewhere like /.something (for example /.backtrack) would be better? Easy Debian mounts itself at /.debian, ubuntu mounts at /.ubuntu, etc., so it is also standard behaviour

It shouldn't make any difference, as long as it's not being mounted on top of something important that already exists. /mnt/ is just a good logical place to mount things, but you can really mount stuff just about anywhere.

Putting a . in front of a file/directory name in Linux (and others) just makes it a hidden file, essentially. Only real difference is it won't show up in an `ls` without the -a flag.

I know it shouldn't and that /mnt is a good place to mount, I remember times when everything was mounted there (there was no /media like now)

I also know about dot in front of file/directory names, it also won't show in graphical file managers by default (most managers I know have some option to show hidden files beginning with dot).

But on my device somehow it also makes a difference for tracker and thumbnailer and maybe it also does on others' devices, just wanted to share that

Wow somebody did already start with that

I think I will follow and make also an easy debian / easy backtrack, probably the best. Even better would be a bootable OS and then add apps to it. Well but I don't know anything about alternative OS which are bootable except NITdroid. =/

edit: Wow didn't knew that this was possible: http://ianlawrence.info/random-stuff...le-on-the-n900

If kubuntu can be installed why not ubuntu 10.04 + LXDE and enable backtrack + arm repos. Just I am not smart enough for this

For what it's worth, the BackTrack team highly discourages trying to add BackTrack repos into a normal Ubuntu install, as they have done a lot of tweaking with both the kernel and the packages, and you're likely to screw stuff up by trying to mix the two. You're welcome to try it, but be warned.

Also, what benefit do you expect to get from putting BT repos onto Ubuntu 10.04, since BT is based off of 10.04 anyway? Just LXDE? Not trying to criticize, just curious.

Yes for it seemed that was easier than modify the BT image to use lxde

But like I said I am quite new to linux at all and also to the n900 and I half don't know what is possible on a n900. I am a quite fast learner tho...

I wouldnt want it bootable unless I knew how to add phone support; calls & sms. After all, I use my N900 as a phone- no point not being able to receive calls/sms while in another OS.

Hey guys, regarding memory issues and swap space, a MarshmallowGoat pointed out on my blog that we can probably use swap files instead of making partitions. I hadn't thought of that, but I bet he's right.
