Ecko,

You have to unpack the image file to ../WebTopMOD/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dubyajaysmith:
Yea. It tries so hard too! At the last second, get an "oh snap" error. There was errors in chroot window, if anyone notices. I wish I would have typed it but selected uninstall and had to leave in a rush. On road trip now and connection sucks. Maybe tonight at hotel I'll install and report. Man that would've been to good ... seems its just to good to be true. Read, a number of pg.s back, it may work with ubuntu disc in webtop folder with a little work but speculation on my part I'm going to read through that again. Thanks so much to OP SystemR89 !i!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
I extracted the 7z file to my external SD card in the directory /sdcard-ext/WebTopMOD/linuxdisk

Is there something that I am missing? What is the command to unpack the img file?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prscarp:
linuxdisk should not be a folder if it is, it should be the actual img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Mine worked after creating linuxdisk dir, then extracting file into it.

Got that fixed. But everything else is kicking my ass.

Is method one supposed to do everything ? Or is that the first part then you have to do all the **** in section two. Like create the /sdcard/DEBIAN file structure.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prscarp:
Really? I didn't make a dir for it, just extracted the img into the WebTopMod folder and it works fine for me.

All you should need to do though is follow thos 4 steps under the easy method and it should be all set up, what problems are you running into?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Webtop is running sweet. I'm understanding that you click penguin and everything is supposed to launch. That's why I created the dir. I had linuxdisk under Webtopmod dir. Couldn't find linuxdisk. Created a dir dropped linuxdisk file in it. Found image. Click okay on found image window penguin dude flashes and that's it.

Checked and didn't see anything else mounted. That's where I'm confused on procedures. Method one worked great for webtopmod. Full Linux, no dice.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prscarp:
Open up the lxterminal instead of the penguin and type:

/usr/sbin/linux

Whats the output?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
This is what I got
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prscarp:
That's why I thought the img shouldn't be in a directory of it's own. If you have tried both ways then I'm not really sure myself.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Well I'll be damned. After moving linuxdisk file out of dir, deleting dir, and copying linuxdisk to WebTopMOD dir. It worked.

People on ludes should not mod. ( sorry watched fast times at ridgemont high the other night)

Thanks !!! Gonna reboot and try penguin . If it doesn't work I'll add to my script that starts synergy. So I can use my PC keyboard and mouse.

Very sweet !!! Any build and post a bigger than 2 GB image ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
I was way wrong. Delete dir and drop linuxdisk file in WebtopMOD dir.

prscarp was right. Running the /usr/sbin/linux in lxterminal window should give you goodness.

Sorry for the misinfo. That's what I had to do to make it recognize after clicking on penguin icon.

EDIT : And rebooted, clicked on Penguin and it worked perfectly. Tried this the other night after midnight didn't work. This wasn't with 2.5 unsigned though. When done properly this is properly the easiest freaking mod I've done !!!

A bigger sdcard and bigger linux image and I'll be set.

Thanks again for the helping hand prscarp !
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prscarp:
Glad its working for you! I wish there was a bigger img also, I may look into creating one myself. What's a good size? 4gb?

Ok, so this is the second time copying the img but once I try to view it to make sure its in tact it shows up as 0 bytes. The images you tried, did they show up as whole?

So what kind of transfer rates were you seeing with that program?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
10-13 MB per sec

Got full size of image.

I built one also, same errors as the other two. Wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock

EDIT: Fixed the fs type problem by making it ext3. Getting mtab errors saying linuxdisk already mounted even after webtoprestart and reboots. Going back to 2GB image and check out differences in mount points.

EDIT again: 2Gb image works still. Sweet.

Mounted 2GB linuxdisk in ubuntu vm. Noticed sdcard and sdcard-ext dirs in there. Building another image to mod with username of adas and dirs.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
There's only 2 GB on the image, so 1.6 GB just for a desktop is a bit much. On my linuxdisk, (the original) synaptic was not on it.

I did apt-get update, then apt-get install synaptic. Now I'm loading xfce thru synaptic

Those are the same errors I got when I tried to use the 3gb img I created, did you figure out what the cause is?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Copying over built image with sdcard and sdcard-ext dir in it from VM to my PC. Then going to copy to sdcard.

There's gotta be something on the original linuxdisk image. If mine doesn't work going to try and copy original image data into the one I build. Gotta be a config file somewhere we're missing. Don;t think it's that easy just creating sdcard and sdcard-ext dirs on built image. I see that's an issue when trying to mount proc, etc. We'll see.

I haven't done this **** in a long time. Too long. I will win ! Ahhhhh too Charlie Sheen... I will kick it's ass.

Post by OP says if you have this error image is corrupt. This was from someone who used 2GB image.

I'm getting error saying no final newline at end of /etc/mtab. Just mounted image and there is no /etc/mtab. So mounting 2BG and see what that says. gotta copy it back into vm.

I am going to ask a dumb question. How are you building a arm/armel based linux image from vmware?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
A good question....

here's how I'm doing it.

I just noticed this scrolling by during my build ... main linux-image-2.6.35-22-omap armel 2.6.35-22.33

2Gb image is 2.6.32.9-00007-g527fe10

Maybe I'm using an incompat version of ubuntu ..... F*ck been messing with this for two days forgot about that. Using Maverick/10.10 But it's bringing down packages that have been ported.....

Except the working image is Debian. Downloading a vm of that now debian-6.0.1a-armel-DVD-1.iso. And a 9.04 Ubuntu jaunty which I think webtop is built from.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
Interesting way to join a conversation. I believe the answer at least in this thread is no.

I haven't seen ubuntu 11 discussed. What has been discussed is trying to get a bigger image than the 2 GB Debian linuxdisk that originally was the working image.

I have tried Ubuntu 10.10 and 9.04 and have failed.

But for prscarp I have gotten a 4 GB image to load. I used these instructions to create a bigger image.

Well I had that broken image that didn't work and I also had the good img. Well I noticed that the method in the first post on how to create a new image doesn't install the same files that the working 2gb image contains.

So I mounted both images and just copied and replaced all files on the 3gb (broken) image using the files from the 2gb (working) image.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
the link you posted dicksteele... it says it only supports 2 gb also. I think this is due to another limitation. but 2 gb should be enough to load a full installation of ubuntu with gnome, kde, or xfce. since you would be linking the sdcard-ext inside the filesystem you would be storing documents and music outside the image.

Is 4 gb really needed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
I am installing gnome-core in the default 2 gb file that was provided :) I will let you know what happens.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prscarp:
4GB is needed because anything you install with apt-get, gets installed to that 4GB image. Think of it as a virtual hard drive for the new linux you are running. I also believe that gnome takes up almost all of the 2GB leaving little space for other programs you would like to install
