Revisions 104-111 were broken in case you had a bzr account set

Fixed in 112. Update to 114
Thanks to PanzerSajt for reporting

The chroot command doesn't return 0 exit status

should be fixed in rev 114

I have just tried v114, and a few errors popped.

I am attaching the log file and the option files.

I am running on debian squeeze targeting a 4Gb uSD.

There is a QEMU segafault, what version do you use? Check the thread, there was some posts about QEMU segfaults. Should be resolved after upgrading.

UPDATE: Do you have your own kernel? Otherwise download the one from the link in the first post and unpack it in the ubuntu-n900 folder.

That was indeed the problem. I had qemu-user-static from debian squeeze, and the installation has gone further with the squeeze-backports version of the package. The specific versions are as follows:
qemu-user-static 0.12.5+dfsg-3squeeze1 squeeze
qemu-user-static 1.0+dfsg-3~bpo60+1+b1 squeeze-backports

I also downloaded the custom kernel as suggested.

Moving on, I had the following issues:

Code:

sed: can't read /mnt/etc/default/keyboard: No such file or directory
/tmp/install-chroot-part.sh: line 14: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

Those seem to be minor to the installation itself, buf I wonder where can I find the correct keyboard config.

Later installation stops at:

Code:

Setting up acpid (1:2.0.10-1ubuntu3) ...
initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 acpid
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Something went wrong while installing acpid, see the errors above, ensure that dpkg isn't broken with commands 'apt-get install -f' and 'dpkg --configure -a' and type exit or Ctrl+D to continue.
/usr/bin/groups: cannot find name for group ID 123

A ctrl+d allows the install script to continue, but it keeps halting at several install steps. Are these errors expected, or is this supposed to run flawlessly?

Currently the keyboard config is taken from kubuntu-mobile-n900-integration_0.1_all.deb. IIRC /etc/default/keyboard is present only on iso images, not in Ubuntu Core.
IDK how to fix the locale error yet, maybe try LC_ALL="en". Anyway, it's really very insignificant AFAIU.

Well, acpid was installed flawlessly just yesterday for me. (I use file as the installation target for quick testing). Running the script...

UPDATE:
It just got past the acpid without any errors. Also, I've noticed an upstart upgrade during the dist-upgrade. Maybe try without dist-upgrade if the installation is broken.

I would really appreciate if you invite me the next time you're talking n900 kernel stuff, I think I have some knowledge on the matter and can help a little bit.

If not, at least inform those people they MUST include somehow those patches:

https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/...1e65f71799c813
https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/...cdab5f059440c6

and thumb-compile the system, otherwise (if not thumb-compiled or thumb-compiled without the patches) it will be unusable on n900 either because of ARM errata or because of 256 RAM.

Ok, thanks a lot again

I'll try to inform them right now and I'll inform you whenever I'll be talking with them from now on.
