It would be better to share an Ubuntu image. I'm very interested to see Ubuntu 2D on Nokia N9.

So I can try if Easy Debian Harmattan scripts are compatible or not. If not, I can try to create later an Easy Ubuntu Harmattan.

of course, now I managed to try out my image, it has got corrupted - so am rebuilding it again. gives me time to recollect all the steps necessary.

rzr - could not download your image...

Done! Wow, is fast! I think OpenOffice loads even faster than my laptop. Virtual Keyboard works great, except the Euro symbol €. Thanks rcolistete, Qole and all the people making this possible.

About how fast it is.

See FAQ #7 of 1st post about virtual keyboard issues.

here is my rebuilt image. I have not included unity in this image, and there is a problem with the v kbd from meego - it comes up, but does not work. Seems to be a locale problem that I am working on.

and try xephwm not suxephwm.

here is the image

How I built this image:

got linaro image nano version from:
http://snapshots.linaro.org/precise/...829-367.tar.gz

dd an image file of 2gb, and extracted the tar into this file. trimmed it off to remove swap file, and boot dir

added xephwm, suxephwm, -id.sh scripts to usr/bin
added xkb dir to /etc/share/X11/ from debian image
cp -L var/lock var/run (this are symlinks, and the qchroot scripts do not seem to like these)

addgroup user --gid 29999
adduser --uid 29999 --gid 29999 user
adduser user adm
adduser user dialout

apt-get install nano wget xterm xinit xserver-xephyr lxde xvkbd onboard wmctrl synaptic

(althoug onboard still not working properly)

adduser user pulse

GOOD THINGS
- bluetooth mouse works nicely (worked even with debian)
- terminal works even in lxde, as seen before

TO DO
- need to sort out locale problem - each apt-get complaining of not being able to use a locale. might be the reason why meego keyboard is still not working in my image

- added unity-2d unity-2d-launcher, but using xephwm unity-2d-shell starts, but goes into a black screen
---- I suspect that it is using a wrong DISPLAY, how can I adjust this?

EDIT:
tried the following script to start unity-2d, but no luck
#!/bin/bash
unity-2d-panel &
unity-2d-shell &
unity-2d-spread &
metacity &

See the Quim Gil's topic "Leaving Nokia & thank you very much for everything". The Nokia N9 I've received from Nokia in midi August is due to Quim Gil initiative (Summer'12 Device Program) and made Easy Debian Harmattan open mode kernel possible. We all are in debt with Quim Gil, so let's thank him.
