I have two problems:

-led and keyboard backlight don't work
-battery charging doesn't work (neither using the wall charger, nor using the usb cable)

Suggestions?

At the moment - for me the biggest blockers are:

Be able to make/receive phonecalls
Send/Receive SMS
Battery/power management

It will be amazing if was possible to install the linux distro of your choice and then download the apps/device drivers to enable all the hardware on the n900.

The nitdroid team have the first signs of phone call functionality so things are getting alot closer.

I imagine the next meego release will contain the "missing parts".

Then installing the OS of your choice with full hardware support will become a reality.

(It's just a matter of using stuff from other projects!)

Hopefully this thread isn't dead I just followed the instructions, and finally got Ubuntu to boot up and the cursor to work. Now my issues seems to be getting wireless to work. Ubuntu seems to be auto-logging me in as 'user' and I am unable to do 'sudo' anything, I get a "unable to resolve host Nokia-N900" and then it asks for 'user's' password, which I don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've found out that user 'root' has password 'root'.
So just login to root and change the user password.
WLAN works great btw.

Thank you Skyscraper, that worked perfectly! Next... maybe this is just an issue with me, but when I click on the network icon in the right hand corner, I get a 'device' not ready error, and can't use WiFi that way. So I went about it the long way, and here is how I did it, just in case anyone else needs to know.
Code:
ifconfig wlan34 up
This let me find my network
Code:
iwlist wlan34 scan
I was using WEP to test and yes it worked
Code:
iwconfig wlan34 mode managed key (network key)
I used parentheses and inserted by network name
Code:
iwconfig wlan34 essid "network name"
I used this to request an IP
Code:
dhclient wlan34
And ping'ed google to check everything was working!
Code:
ping google.com

Ok, now it works!

What about "tar --preserve-permissions -xvjf file.bz" for the permissions error?
I am using the kernelPower and can't get the Ubuntu to boot. I don't quite understand what you are proposing to backup and replace here however. Any further clarification?

BTW: thanks a billion for all of the effort spent so far in getting ubuntu bootable from the n900.
