Nah, as soon as I got enlightenment installed I took gnome outta the picture (never have been a gnome fan) I do know that on my laptop (running arch) if using anything with nautilus, it would bring up nautilus in desktop mode. This was a while back when gnome2.x was in the repos so by default nautilus handled the desktop. I think there is a way to start nautilus without the desktop but for the life of me, cant remember it right now.

I just got rid of all gnome stuffs that I could, installed xterm and pcmanfm and run e17 alone, no issues thus far, I havent used it too much but havent had issues.

I dont think there is anything in place to boot gnome except the .xinitrc. I havent searched through the configs yet but I did mess up my .xinitrc and it booted straight to slim :/ If I get time, I will look through it all today and let you know

Sounds like what you need is the chroot that the archlinux-arm guys had put together before moboot came out. After installing Xserver in webOS, you are able to chroot and startup X (and thus a full DE) inside of a card to be quickly thrown away at random. You can find it here http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1567&sid=b1de362a6cbf34f79ef36883f185c824
[Other TouchPad Development] newbieandroid:
I read the bottom and I put 10240M on the line that had ****M because I would like to use 10Gb for the ArchLinux partition. I fixed my Touchpad, it has all 27Gbs back. I know it's an alpha, and the issues listed don't bother me. If you see an issue with the commands instead I used which I said I'm sure I messed up. Instead of insulting me because I can't follow simple directions point out which line and show me the proper way to type it.
[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I can't seem to download moboot.splash.ArchLinuxARM.tga is that a needed file? Through my knowledge (little) this is the boot splash and isn't *needed* for use, right?
[Other TouchPad Development] amenditman:
Correct, not required.
[Other TouchPad Development] Nondescript Van:
i don't know if it was mentioned here or in the thread linked to in the OP, but I saw somebody got enlightment 17 installed. I was wondering how they went about doing that. pacman -S e-svn won't download any of the appropriate packages in the repository.

Any help on this would be awesome.
[Other TouchPad Development] amenditman:
I did it, followed the ArchWiki and it works.

[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Now I get 'bad CRC' from moboot, when trying to boot into arch (I can't remember if bad was the word it used) I do not have moboot splash for it because it wouldn't download, if that makes any difference.
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
hiya there, can some one help me with this install, when in novaterm and type this command curl -O ttp://moboot.googlecode.com/files/moboot_0.3.5.zip i get a load of weird symbols and random letters. PAGES OF IT! lol! any help will be greatly appreciated :)
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
its

http

not

ttp
[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
No idea why you get the letters, unless you are typing Ttp://... Install moboot in how it is described here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10121-releasealpha35cyanogenmod-touchpad/ while just installing moboot (or also install android, I'd recommend it, and you should have enough space on it, I do)
[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Is it only me who whenever doing curl -O ... I get response curl: (23) Failed writing body (*number* != *number*)?

Edit: It seems my boot partition is filled, any help with that? How do I increase it?
[Other TouchPad Development] Nondescript Van:
this is what i was following and the first step is where i get the error. I'll try the script that is further down and see if that works.

edit: fixed. i had to sync the repositories with pacman -S -y

that happened to me the first time. i just unplugged my touchpad, quite novaterm, and restarted the novacomd process, and restarted from the beginning.
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
I had to miss the h off just post on here as I'm new to the site :( sorry ibshould of explainded that. Thank you anyway :)
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
i have made progress. i have managed to get most of the way through but when i get to this command line "curl -O ttp://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz" it only downloads 39Mb then fails. any help?

also where it says "resizefat /dev/store/media ****M" what should i put in place of the *

thank you once again for any help. i promise im trying as hard as can to learn :)
[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
The **** is the size that your 'sdcard' will be, where you store files, in the op, where is has the download link, download that file, and move it to the right directory.
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
run this command:

it will give you the number you will replace with the asterisks (****)

the installation instructions are pretty clear about it :/
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
My system is now broke, keeps rebooting on hp logo. Tried webos doctor, no luck :(
[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Do you have moboot?
[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
This process may mess up your uImage.CyanogenMod, so you'll have to find the boot.img out of the install zip for CM and rename it to 'uImage.CyanogenMod, then put it in /boot after

mount -o rw,remount /boot
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
okay heres a detailed explanation of what i done.

i put my touchpad in to dev mode.

accessed novaterm from my ubuntu window.

i then followed all of these commands:

"mount -o rw,remount /boot

cd /tmp

curl -O http://moboot.googlecode.com/files/moboot_0.3.5.zip

unzip moboot_0.3.5.zip

mv uImage.moboot_0.3.5 /boot/uImage.moboot

cd /boot

rm uImage

ln -s uImage.moboot uImage

ln -s uImage-2.6.35-palm-tenderloin uImage.webOS

echo "yes" > moboot.verbose.ArchLinuxARM

sync

curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touch...e.ArchLinuxARM

curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touch...chLinuxARM.tga

cd /tmp

pkill -SIGUSR1 cryptofs

umount /media/internal

echo "STOP HERE AND READ 'RESIZE FAT' BEFORE CONTINUING" # See below

resizefat /dev/store/media ****M

lvm.static lvresize -L -4096M /dev/store/media

lvm.static lvcreate -L 4096M -n arch-root store

mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/arch-root

mkdir linux

mount /dev/store/arch-root linux

cd linux

curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touch...-latest.tar.gz

tar xzf ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz # Will take a long time

rm ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz

cd ..

umount linux

reboot # The first few times, this may error out - try again"

where the ****M is i put 7944M i think this may be the issue.

when i got to this command it started downloading and then got an error at 39mb:

"curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz"

ive then ran webos doctor numbers of times but no luck. it wont even let me novaterm back in not sure what to do :/ any help would be great.
[Other TouchPad Development] amenditman:
Can you still boot into webOS? After webOS Doctoring you will need to re-enable Developer Mode, if you haven't already.

If you can get into webOS, try to resize your /dev/media back to it's full size then re-doctor. Here's how to resize the media, from crimsonredmk's README. You can do this from XTerm on the TP in webOS, Novaterm not required.

How do I remove Arch Linux ARM/Android/CyanogenMod?

Back on webOS, run the command "lvm" from novaterm. From there, the command "lvs" shows the logical volumes. Delete any you don't want, e.g. archlinuxarm or cm-data, etc. by running "lvremove store/name-of-volume". Then, resize your media partition with "lvresize -L +90000M store/media" (this will make "media" as big as possible).
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
Almost all sorted now.

One issue to get round. When creating the swap store for the file system using this command "lvm.static lvcreate -l 64 -i 1 -M y --major 254 --minor 7 -n swap store" i get the error:

Redundant stripes argument: default is 1

Insufficiant free extents (0) in volume group store: 64 required
[Other TouchPad Development] Itege:
Quick question;

so when I run

resizefat /dev/store/media ****M

I'm putting in the value that I get from

lvm.static lvdisplay -c store/media | awk -F: '{print $7/2048}'

is that correct?

Don't want to **** up again.
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
That minus the size you want for your partition. :) then the other sizes others sizes below is the amount you took away from the orginal size :) hope this helps

any progress on the graphics driver?
[Other TouchPad Development] crimsonredmk:
Hopefully we can make use of b-man's SystemInstaller in future builds to automate this a lot more, just like ACMEInstaller does for CM7. Right now I'm working on the user experience a little bit while we wait on CM's source for Bluetooth and audio.
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
okay i have a question. once i've installed this how do i load the actual UI? should i get an option when booting to either boot Arch or webos?

Edit!

moboot wont show up to allow me to boot Arch or WebOS
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
install moboot then, its the 1st thing to do (its included in the installation guide).
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
yay!! finally got moboot to work! and Arcg is now up and running! great job devs! cant seem to get root tho :/
[Other TouchPad Development] amenditman:
Open the Terminal from the menu.

su

password = root
[Other TouchPad Development] sissons87:
cheers buddy, all sorted now :D
[Other TouchPad Development] Itege:
Disregard, Webos Doctor actually helped me out for once.
[Other TouchPad Development] julakali:
Did someone find a way to disable the screen and put the device into some sort of standby?

Ideally by pressing the power button, of course ;)

xrandr doesnt seem to work, setting brightness to zero will not disable the screen.

Some driver needed?
[Other TouchPad Development] Itege:
Is it normal for my internet connection to stop working after about 10 minutes? The wifi stays connected but pacman and chrome stop responding. Also any idea why my clock went out of sync? It is about 7:10 off and thinks it is 1969.
[Other TouchPad Development] sahhar1993:
hi guys i download archlinux build

but i think i must change this command thats right

can anyone help me please :):)
[Other TouchPad Development] Nondescript Van:
there shouldn't be any reason to change anything. I literally copy and pasted every single command from the install-readme without any problems (except the partition size). What is the problem you are having?

Does anybody know how to get the mouse cursor to show up. I have synergy install and working fine, i can type and use the mouse, but there is no cursor and it's extremely annoying. Changing themes does nothing and I can't find an answer on google.
[Other TouchPad Development] crimsonredmk:
Has anyone updated their WebOS to 3.0.5? Any changes? The mouse pointer patch lives in the kernel - I'll see what happens when I modify it.

As for a general progress report, CM9 will hopefully get us a more up-to-date (3.x) kernel, and we're waiting on a public release of CM source for Bluetooth and audio.

Edit: Since webOS copies files in and out of /boot during upgrades, maybe moving your moboot and ArchLinuxARM uImages somewhere else before upgrading to 3.0.5 would be a good idea.
[Other TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Now that I have done "pacman -Syu" it won't boot, I replace the uImage, to see if that would help, but no luck. Should I completely reinstall?
[Other TouchPad Development] crimsonredmk:
What do you mean it won't boot? Is there a kernel panic or is X not starting or...? I need more details.
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
i have the same (or similar issue) after a -Syu (did it about a 2 weeks ago), it wont go to the logging screen.

Its most probably X not starting (the screens keeps going on and off, and can barely read whats written in the console)
[Other TouchPad Development] gtg203a:
I had a similar problem when my arch partition was 2GB -- after running pacman -Syu, I'd run out of space.

expanding the partition to 4GB as stated in the revised install instructions fixed this.
[Other TouchPad Development] Vrekk:
This is an awesome project. Its gonna be one of the first things I do when I get my touchpad, but I just have a quick question for anybody who has this running.

Can you install a JDK? Most likely OpenJDK but I don't know if anybody has that working on an arm yet.
[Other TouchPad Development] RaDi:
when will be the next update ?

that
[Other TouchPad Development] comhack:
Yeah, I keep checking everyday expecting an update. Oh well, they must be trying to sort the bugs out.
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
Did you guyz try running "pacman -Syu"?
[Other TouchPad Development] comhack:
Of course, Rofl!!!

I have Arch on 7 of my machines and I have been using it exclusively for 5 years now. I was referring to some of the bugs and such being ironed out.
[Other TouchPad Development] amenditman:
The main developer on this is crimsonredmk. He is a student. Over the holidays the devs did a lot of work, but school is in session and he is busy.

Be patient.
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
Ya i thought u might since you seem like a regular arch-user but some people dont know much about the arch philosophy and might be waiting for a 'new flashable beta rom', thats why i mentioned it. Anyway, its been a while since i last logged in my tablet's archlinux cause of my semester exams so i didnt know there were no new updates. Give crimson some time he will prepare a good one (update) for sure
[Other TouchPad Development] comhack:
Yeah, I didn't think about that. Sorry

Thanks for the info Amenditman!!
[Other TouchPad Development] gtg203a:
The OpenJDK v6 java runtime environment works:

sudo pacman -S openjdk6

IcedTea web browser plugin also works (with chromium, at least):

sudo pacman -S icedtea-web

Haven't tried OpenJDK v7.

Bluetooth drivers

Hi crimsonredmk, I'm not sure if this is of any help. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with compiling kernels and modules but I've found this while browsing the CyanogenMod Device repository on github. If this isn't any good then just ignore me :D

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/hp-kernel-tenderloin/tree/gingerbread/drivers/bluetooth

I've had a look myself but I don't have the patience and knowledge to get my head around it.
[Other TouchPad Development] Dragoon0309:
This is great! Now that CM9 is open source, hopefully we can get everything else working.
[Other TouchPad Development] killaTM:
Tri-boot?

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I am currently running CM9 along with WEbOS on my touchpad, and was wondering if I follow the instructions on installation.md, I`ll be able to tri-boot from the bootloader that came with the ACME2Installer? Also, my Android ICS will not be affected at all, but rather, I`ll just have less space for sd-card partition? Can someone confirm this, or am I mistaken?
[Other TouchPad Development] Dragoon0309:
You are not mistaken. Just skip the moboot part in the install.MD, and you will be able to tri-boot.
[Other TouchPad Development] amenditman:
I am tri-booting after following those instructions.

Moboot works fine, just make sure it is up to the latest version.
[Other TouchPad Development] killaTM:
Wow that was quick. Thanks for the replies guys, but when you say skip the moboot part, do you mean I can just run this:

mount -o rw,remount /boot

cd /tmp

curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/uImage.ArchLinuxARM

curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/moboot.splash.ArchLinuxARM.tga

cd /tmp

pkill -SIGUSR1 cryptofs

umount /media/internal

echo "STOP HERE AND READ 'RESIZE FAT' BEFORE CONTINUING" # See below

resizefat /dev/store/media ****M

lvm.static lvresize -L -4096M /dev/store/media

lvm.static lvcreate -L 4096M -n arch-root store

mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/arch-root

mkdir linux

mount /dev/store/arch-root linux

cd linux

curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz

tar xzf ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz # Will take a long time

rm ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz

cd ..

umount linux

reboot # The first few times, this may error out - try again
[Other TouchPad Development] amenditman:
If you have Moboot 0.3.5 you can probably skip these.

cd /tmp curl -O http://moboot.googlecode.com/files/moboot_0.3.5.zip unzip moboot_0.3.5.zip mv uImage.moboot_0.3.5 /boot/uImage.moboot cd /boot rm uImage ln -s uImage.moboot uImage ln -s uImage-2.6.35-palm-tenderloin uImage.webOS
[Other TouchPad Development] killaTM:
Ok I installed Linux, but now CM9 can't see the sdcard anymore...I booted to touchpad and was able to access the SD card without problems, and even reflashed cm9 aplha0.6 through cwm.

I think the Android has disconnected from the SD card since it was resized. How I do I get Android to recognize the SD card again? It doesn't seem to be corrupt.
[Other TouchPad Development] lologuil:
Access Mass storage

Hi everyone,

I just wondered if it was possible to access the mass storage (Web OS or Android) through ArchLinux. If yes, what is the command line for that?

Thanks
[Other TouchPad Development] killaTM:
Just as an FYI, once I tri-booted (ICS, WebOS, and Linux), ICS couldn't access the SD card anymore. I had to webos Doctor to completely reset, in addition to doing a full SD card wipe from WebOS, then reinstall ICS to get everything working again. I'm guessing it's because the command:

resizefat /dev/store/media ****M

didn't work for me, but I went on with the rest anyways :(

In addition, the command to resize /media/ as large as possible also didn't work after I deleted all the android and linux partitions using the given commands., and so I had to webOS doctor it.

Thank god it's working fine again. I thought I'd messed up my storage entirely.

I am looking for a walkthrough on downgrading my Incredible 2 using a Mac. I don't have a Windows or Linux machine available to me, and I need to downgrade to root. Can anyone help?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Linux method should work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ki3t1995:
Sadly though, I don't have a Linux machine I can use.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
What he's saying is it should work for MAC.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ki3t1995:
Could you further explain? I have been trying to downgrade for hours now and can't seem to figure it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
With Linux/MAC...you should be able to skip the HTC drivers part and jump straight to the adb part.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Ducaticorse:
You should be able to open a Terminal window on your Mac and follow the instructions for Linux, entering the Linux commands into the Terminal window.

It's likely that you'll need to run the commands as a SU (Super User) or Root in the Terminal window. There are some helpful tutorials online if you're not an experienced Linux/Terminal user.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ki3t1995:
Thanks for the help guys, but I'm still having issues. For some reason even when I execute the adb commands as a root user, I still get a permission denied error. I'll paste in the code lines below, but I'm not sure why this doesn't work. Thanks!

Code lines:

sudo adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp/*

Hello, I have spent all morning reading and downloading software to root this device, but have no luck.

I am running

Android - 2.2.1

System Version - 34.4.9.MB525.T-Mobile.en.US

Model - MB525

Baseband - EPU93_U_00.58.00

Kernel - 2.6.32.9-g8431013

Build Number - 3.4.2-107_JDN-9

I have tried Z4Root, and SuperOneClickRoot2.1

Is there any thing else I can try, does anyone know of anything else that may help me out?

Would greatly appreciate it.
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
I don't know what you are talking about. I have rooted 34.4.9 many many many many times using superoneclick with absolutely zero problems! Turn USB debugging on and it WILL root using this method z4root does NOT work but trust me superoneclick does EVERY TIME! The only thing that makes sense is you have USB debugging off or something. After you root you must reboot for SU to properly grant root permissions.
[Defy General] iz0t0p:
z4root didnt worked for me to, but superoneclick worked every time...
[Defy General] primus123:
All the instructions say to have it off until it reads "waiting on device" then turn it on.

I have left it off, and left it on, nothing.

It has been sitting on the screen for 2hours "waiting on device"

And Nothing, does it take that long, or should it realistically be just minutes?
[Defy General] iz0t0p:
it should be a minutes, 1st put debugging off, wait until write waiting for device and turn debugging on

Have you already tried gingerbreak? Worked perfectly for me (needs usb-debugging enabled)
[Defy General] primus123:
I havent tried the Gingerbreak, is that an APK like for the Tablets? because I have an Acer Iconia that used the Gingerbreak method.

The only other thing that I can think that is the problem is that, I do not currently have a SIM card in the phone. Could this be it?

I was using an HTC HD2(Unlocked, running NAND android) but the battery pooped out on me. ordering one tomorrow. but until then need a standby, but I cannot deal with this Stock Defy.
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
I never leave debugging off until it says to turn on, I always just leave it on the whole time. I use superoneclick 1.6.5 and the psneuter exploit option. Did you run as administrator? I have never rooted without a sim but doesn't seem like that should matter, then again stranger things have happened!
[Defy General] primus123:
Got it to work with the gingerbreak apk

Finally got my custom ROM installed, no more motoblur

Thanks to everyone for their help

try superoneclick 1.7 or 1.5, not 2.1.. :)
[Defy General] fightforimus:
im trying superclick 2.2.first it says no drivers for MB525 i click root and it stops at the starting ADB server phase. do you know why that happens?

as of now im downloading java sdk for windows. i hope that helps. im kinda new to this root thing and im still trying to figure out if its my phone or my pc i have to work on.

update: i tried system update from my phone and it says system is up to date so i dont know why superoneclick says no driver for MB525. or i have to download drivers for the superoneclick program?
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
I have NEVER had one single problem with superoneclick 1.6.5 shortfuse EVER!!!

Download it from my attachment below

Extract all files then run superoneclick

Make sure usb debugging on your phone is on and click root, thats it
