hildon-theme-marina fails build on ARM (segfaults), thus is not added to repository index file.

But it's noarch package - you can download it from http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/smok...t_Core/noarch/ and install manually.

But what about hildon-desktop?? :s

It builds fine for DE, as you can see on https://build.pub.meego.com/package/...smoku%3Acordia
But it fails on Trunk. Have you added DE repository, or Trunk one?

DE repo is here: http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/smok...runk_standard/

I tried to install it , and there were dependency problems:

nothing provides gnome-mime-data
nothing provides sound-theme-freedesktop

however I ignored these and it did install, and run but does look quite broken, how do I fix the dependencies, what repositories do I need to add?

when I try zypper ve
I get other problems too concerning pulseaudio-modules-n900 but I think that's not related .

thanks.

There are a lot of Cordia builds: https://build.pub.meego.com/project/...smoku%3Acordia

You need to be more specific on the MeeGo version and hardware architecture you tried to install to.

I think most people are trying to install on the N900 itself and it would be a good idea to document the procedure specifically for the N900.

I would do it myself but my N900 died and i can't fix it until i leave japan in a week or so.

This is the point of the whole exercise, for someone with an ARM device to try and document the installation.

I'm using i586 for development and have no idea what is the state of ARM builds.

Hey smoku,

I'm glad to see you and Cordia back in business!

I'm still looking forward to contributing, but I still have two weeks of exams ahead of me, so maybe in the summer.

Cheers!

I hope that new GDK backend and Cairo rendering would make the fixed bitmap Sapwood engine unneded. But if performance of default GTK+ 3 engine is too low, we may need to rehash Sapwood.

Only testing will tell.

The default Gtk 3 theme Adwaita looks decent enough, and its engine is CSS-based. It would be a win for Cordia in my opinion. (And they are promising a darker variant in their next release.)

If it doesn't perform well enough on mobile hardware, we could still try to forward-port the sapwood engine.

I added the N900 DE repo for cordia and installing hildon-desktop as we speak. Not yet sure how to use meego terminal properly atm so not sure how I go about installing the .rpm for marina-theme.

I would be happy to document the N900 install as it stands atm

Just tell me how I can write on cordia's page :P
