Yep, confirmed
Down to the state you need flasher...

OT (wish): would be nice to get that sorted out (or get usb plug-in event always recognized correctly, so charging only works)

The N9/50 has a BQ24153A, which can be made to charge the battery or supply power for USB host

Presumably something like the N900 bq27x00 driver could be made to control it sans BME.

That's worth looking into, thanks.

Need Help!
Don't know if it's right thread here or it should be Nemo, try here first?

Two days ago I was running Ubiboot, correct booting Harmattan, Firefox, Nitdroid and had partition Alt_OS ready for Nemo following this instruction:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot

Only thing missing was unpack/install Nemo to Alt_Co.:
Couldn't get this code working in Ubuntu:
sudo tar --numeric-owner -xf nemo-handset-armv7hl-n950-*.tar.bz2 -C /media/Alt_OS/

Tried unpack in Ubuntu (also Nautilus), get message: you are not owner to Alt_OS no permission to unpack
Then made great mistake by using unzip in Windows (?) AND do it wrongly ending up with mess and Fatal error in partitions, which seems solved now (?)

Before starting again install Ubiboot need to know how to run above sudo tar ...code:
Should the code be written in terminal Ubuntu exactly as it stands or should something be substituted (filled in) ex. as with this code:
flasher -F firmware.bin -F emmc.bin --no-preserve -f -R

And/or how to get permission to unpack to device Alt_Os in Ubuntu?

@garp
Please stop 'polluting' all threads about ubiboot/sailfish/nemo/... with the same question(s) over and over.
They all are not really related to the topic but to low-level IT questions. I would encourage you to open up your own thread and ask there again.

To your question: the * (star) stands for some characters distinguishing different releases, thats all. So yes replace with characters of the image file you downloaded.
For the rights I just may guess that partition was created as root and user does not have write access (how to overcome use google or another thread please); or maybe just created partition and gave no file system?

OK thanks for answer anyway - * have of course tried with full name of file - not totally idiot

peterleinchen | # 817 | 2013-11-29, 08:04 | Report

Okay, but you wrote misunderstandable.
Then I assume the partition of N9 is just not mounted on ubuntu as /media/Alt_OS but under /media/something
(last answer here in this thread)

Thanks - and I know, that's because I'm total new on Ubuntu - have always used Windows - and maybe not so easy to learn in age near 70!

Respect for your age, sir. I have still few tens of years to get there

Regarding your problem, what I find easier to do when extracting filesystem images to device (whether it be android, firefox, nemo or sailfish) is to copy the TAR file ro the device, to MyDocs for example, and then untar it when running in ubiboot maintanance console.
That way it works all the time and you need not use any partition export thingies.

How to get the tarred image to device, then? There are several ways;

• 1.) you can copy it to your MyDocs when running Harmattan
• 2.) you can configure the private/public keys to your ubiboot and use SFTP to transfer it
• 3.) you can export the mmcblk0p1 in ubiboot, copy it there, unexport it and remount under ubiboot

When you have the image in the device, just mount the partition you want to extract it to, and then "tar -xvf <filename.tar> -C /mnt/x/"

@juiceme Thanks - I will try again also because I did see before chrash Ubiboot is really great!

And respect to you too maybe not yet for age but for your work here!
