Double check that.

Thanks. Jessie.item on first post uses /boot/uImage, but uImage is on /uImage on the disk-image.
-> I got it running.

Next problem (I'm feeling newbie again):

I can't connect to wifi. I'm trying to connect open access point.

I thought that this will work:

Code:

iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID
dhclient -v wlan0

But it doesn't get IP. Is there something blocking it. Dmesg contains "wlan0: deauthentication from XX: by local choise (reson=3)"
(connman or wpa_supplicant maybe?)

'ps -Af' showed pid of connman and I killed it.

I don't know how to disable wifi power save.
I can guess: 'iwconfig wlan0 txpower fixed', close enough?

wifi firmware log is somewhere on dmesg right? As I first tried without X, I didn't figure how to produce pipe or redirect output (| and >).

Should firmware get started automatically?

But somehow I get it connected and ssh running. Now I'm afraid to reboot device.

--------

I'm so excited about this. I'm planning something like this:

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/tools free
free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/ fremantle free

deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel fremantle free

and then:

Code:

apt-get source libhildon1
dpkg-buildpackage
-> missing bunch of stuff
apt-get install .... (from jessie) 
dpkg-buildpackage
fix-the-code

And then some other packages which 'are part of fremantle, but not yet (or anymore) in debian'.

I'm open for comments.
----
Another idea (which is not yet working): add your secret nokia-binaries-key to the /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/SECRET nokia-binaries

And then

Code:

apt-get install X
or
apt-get download X

where X is 'really useful but not yet liberated'-package from:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages

But apt-get update encounter error, because it is looking for

http://repository.maemo.org/dists/fremantle/SECRET/nokia-binaries/binary-armhf/Packages
but file on the server is
http://repository.maemo.org/dists/fremantle/SECRET/nokia-binaries/binary-armel/Packages
(verified with wget)

This armhf is not part of the deb-row, so is it resolved runtime, maybe by dpkg-architecture? So how to spoof it? (I haven't yet tested is there any possibility they could work at all)

According to this: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...-ubuntu-system armel packages should work on armhf. See also https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO - you should be able to install armel binaries using apt if you configure it properly ("dpkg --add-architecture armel" and later "apt-get update" should be enough I guess?)

Close enough :-)

Code:

iwconfig wlan0 power off

should do it.

In the console, with the arch keymap, you can use shift+blue+\.

Yes it should.

There is a debian armel repo as well. So you should be able to

Code:

dpkg --add-architecture armel
dpkg --print-architecture
apt-get update
apt-get install <package>:armel

I suggest you configure apt preferences placing debian armel with higher priority than fremantle, so you can pull from upstream debian as many packages as possible.

Just in case this is still of interest:
Jessie's glibc has 2.6.32 hardcoded (i.e. not just a debian dependency) as a minimum requirement. So if you want to run a Jessie glibc on top of Maemo's 2.6.28 kernel you need to patch and recompile the glibc sources. [1]
The result apparently works but since I have done only very basic testing in Easy Debian I can't tell if there are any subtle problems I just didn't see.

I would stick with upstream n900 kernel. fmg pointed me to the patch for the driver which contains test instructions for using ofono. I would use that along with a replacement "phone" app to remove more of the closed apps.

Now my wireless are connecting easily without tricks (iwconfig essid + dhclient), don't know what happened.

What is the preferred way to get same MAC-adddress on every boot?
-----------------------------
I also think that now is the moment to drop maemo's 2.x kernel.

Do we have gles-driver which work with new kernel?
What is the way (in the meantime) use software openGL? E.g. I tested glxgears from mesa-utils, I have installed libgl1-mesa-glx and glx-alternative-mesa, but no success:

Code:

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

and glxinfo

Code:

name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

-----------------------------

By the way: This is dmesg, just after boot http://paste.ubuntu.com/7581763/
There are couple of things I would like to point for somebody deep in kernel (even they are not show-stoppers yet):

Maybe they are known, but if there are some workarounds, and will they be fixed for next kernel? (Or is there already newer kernel working equally well?)

--------
I'm using 'user' -account, and I can startx and then over ssh start e.g. DISPLAY=:0 xterm

When I try startx over ssh, it doesn't work:

Code:

X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

I think I soon need this (when libmatchbox2 takes turn).
