I have just got ubiboot running on my n9

That's really really great! Thank you guys!

Harmattan, android, nemo are working now.

I'm just wondering how to make sailfish running.
Is there a guide or wiki instruct this?

Two ways to do it, either put it on the ALT_OS partition, just delete Nemo first, or if you wnt both, you need to create another partition and install it there.
Unfortunately there's no automatic partitioner like MOSLO for it, so you need to backup your MyDocs first, then boot into ubiboot maintanance console, run fdisk and format the created partitions maually.

Thanks, Juiceme

I just tried the easier way:
deleted all the files on ALT_OS partition. And uncompressed sailfish tarball to there.

But after boot, I can not see any options under the blue Sailfish icon.

Is there something I am doing wrong ?

Oh, I see it. Still under nemo menu.

Thanks!

Well I am not really able to read the whole thread but as I understood the sailfish os was ported on n9 (not fully fuctional, but ported)? If yes, what is going on with the n900??

The N9's "far, far, far, far" from being ported in any kind of meaningful/usable/practical sense...
That means the N900's even further away, & it'll always be more broken than the N9 for reasons already stated.

I think Sailfish can be easy to put on nemo HW adaptation, and in nemo\X11 everything works fine.
I dont think we need Sailfish on top of crappy wayland because all sailfish stuff is Qt5 based. And works fine on X11.

I installed nemo yesterday night on my n900(mostly because of curiosity) and I found it pretty nice and smooth! Even for an everyday use! This is why I am asking about the n900 as well
