hmm, got the build.log for the failed xulrunner build handy? post in on pastebin or so, that i can check it (the thing is i think i tried emerging ff on my atrix as well adn it failed with xulrunner too, but on my pandaboard with gentoo i can emerge it fine - ff that is and i think it doesnt even need xulrunner anymore).

i just checked a bit, maybe you could try opera or opera-next? Ill test how it compiles on my pandaboard and report back once its done, if it works.

edit: just figuered that operas ebuilds arent set up for arm (probably opera doesnt release arm optimised source code anyways)
[Atrix 4G General] mpowereduser:
Awesome. I spent a couple of hours compiling and then accidentally closed the window before it's done. Rookie mistake that'll I'll fix tonight.

I have to go with Evolution as it's a proper MAPI client vs claws mails which only supports IMAP/POP
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
you should use "screen" :)
[Atrix 4G General] mpowereduser:
Yes, that would have been a good idea.

spose I could have nohup'd it too.

Or I could have not screwed around with the windows in mid-compile.

I started it after work and walked away so I'll post an update when it completes.

Thus far I have OpenVPN working to connect to work so now that I have libreoffice, pidgin with OCS support and presumably Evolution, I'll have a decent platform to work with when away from the office.

[EDIT]

Evolution took the better part of 8 hours to compile but it's working.

Love this mod

I've been using this for about 2 weeks and i got to say this is awesome only down fall is that its only GB not ICS:(

Also this is my first time using gentoo and its not that bad I didnt think I would like it, but gave it a shot its pretty nice. Like to see how this runs when ICS is released.
[Atrix 4G General] Gizmo306:
crnkoj, Sorry that I been re-install Gentop2, thus xulrunner build log is missing. I also think that FF is no longer using Xulrunner from few version back. there are many report on such runtime error in many version of FF from few years ago. seems no constant answer of it, some one say that error message is not properly arranged for the real error case. I just giving up and back to FF12/TB12 for now.:p

Did anyone substitute XFCE with openbox, or have some tips on doing that?
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
Openbox seems to be a bit bugged on arm, at least so i experienced it.

@gizmo

Yes the new ff doesnt need xulrunner anymore as a separate package. I believe it already has it in its sources. And ye i can emerge ff13 just fine on my pandaboard, but cant on the atrix, since, we have to use an old x-server (due to driver dependency), which blocks any newer ff build (anything that doesn't need xulrunner)...

I've moved /usr/share to it's own partition but when I tried /osh/usr in it's entirety, I have issues with the floating Motorola Logo.

I also don't have a /data/osh partition so I'm not sure which two usr directories you meant when you did it.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
Hmm, I don't know about the latest version of gentop (I used the second version, which still has usr on /osh and on /data/osh). So if it works with moving only /usr/share it should still he fine. In order to move the whole /usr to a sdcard partition, you need to mount it in the boot.img ramdisk through init.rc. In order to do that you need to unpack the boot.img with the bootimg tools edit it and than repack with it, as well as having all the /usr files copied to the sdcard's partition you intend to mount. I'm writing this front my mobile right now, so I can't give you a sample for the init.rc or the bootimg tools, as well as a combined /usr directory. I believe in the latest gently version /usr gets installed to both /osh/usr and /preinstall/usr . But I'm not sure, you can check it by opening both tarballs supplied by gendol and search for usr and any symlinks within, than rsync all of it to one usr director on your picture and rsync it to the desired sdcard partition while using an USB sdcard reader on your pc.
[Atrix 4G General] mpowereduser:
Right. I really should have thought of that. I'll go that route and see how it goes.

Moving /usr/share and mounting the partition via ubuntu.sh works, but it only frees up so much space and once you start installing stuff the space adds up quickly.

GenTop2

Hey there:

That's amazing, i was also reading a similar idea but with Ubuntu instead, my question is, does it by pass the dock or lapdock?. I recently modified my webtop version to by pass those two accessories so i can use it only with the HMDI cable and a mini Bluetooth keyboard.

Thanks and congratulations for your great job!!!
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
you need a blur based rom that supports webtop over hdmi to do that (most of the customized blur roms support it), or just have a modified portal.apk that allows you to do this (the custom roms do it this way too)

[Atrix 4G General] blackghost1010:
hey guys, can this be run on any webtop device or is it only on the atrix. i have a bionic and have finally got all of the low mem stuff fixed but this is something id love to get running
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
This depends on the cpu it has (is it tegra 2?), if so it should work, but beware about other partition positions. You probably need to adapt the "ubuntu.sh" script and possibly the init.rc in your boot.img's ramdisk. If it's not a tegra2 cpu but an omap4430 you will need to swap the gfx drivers and possibly a hell lot of dynamic library linking.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
As of the latest try I did to compile chromium on an arm device it would fail from portage with the error of no arm target in the chromium makefile. For now the best thing to do is to use midori for browsing and html5 content and us ff for other more "advanced" tasks. If you however know how to configure chromium for compiling on arm, do it and than please share the makefile/configure.sh

:)
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
Sup gay,

There is a way to do that.

Under gentop as root in a terminal go to /sys and write "find -name lcd*webtop" than write "echo "1" > /path/to/filename" and it turns off to turn on echo 0

Two things.

Anyone use this with nottachtrix?

Can someone post a 1-2minute video of this running (how much faster/smoother is it)

Is there an automated script for this install? (Seems easy enough to do myself but auto-installer things are so nice)

Tegra 2 linux drivers for h/w accelerated video playback

I use it with nottachtrix. Work smoothly. But I still can not get h/w accelerated video on it.

Does anyone tried http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/tegra.git;a=summary this overlay? It contains ebuilds for tegra x.org drivers?

Other question how to get any video player workable with OpenMAX IL on gentop?

The only solution I have found to get video playback in fullscreen with mplayer is to use next options

mplayer file.avi -vm -fs

But in such mode video has incorrect aspect ratio

Has anyone experienced loss of ADB capability after using the Gentop2? I think my adb used to be installed via the preinstall directory which is now gone...

Anyone know how to fix this?
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
I had this issue, im not entirely sure what caused it but wiping data "resolved" the issue, at some point i figuered it was cuz i was mounting /osh/usr onto /dev/mmcblk1p3 with ubuntu.sh instead of doing it in the init.rc of the ramdisk, i really dont know why wiping data would help this but so it was for me
[Atrix 4G General] thantos:
Do you mean a full wipe or Davlik cache wipe?
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
nah i mean a data wipe, which is pretty much contraproductive with gentop i believe :) maybe try a dalvik wipe and see if it works

Do you have an idea what I have to do that I don't have to repeat the code after every reboot.

This symlink appear after each reboot

var -> /osh/var/
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
edit the ubuntu.sh file on the root of the system, in there there should probably be the command that makes the symlink that annoys you, just edit it to your liking or remove it and add the mount--bind command. Although i believe you should not rm -rf /var/ , you can just mount --bind directly without rm -rf .

Hi, did anybody tried to compile xbmc for webtop after xbmc for android was released?

I can run it in aiw, but fullscreen mode has framedrops
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/media-tv/xbmc

doesnt seem they provide xbmc for the arm arch, you can try compiling it yourself (the 9999 version, or just dling sources from xbmc and compiling them manually than). On the other hand, xbmc is terribly resource consuming (not to forget the codecs it needs, which the tegra2 cpu doesnt have all necessary/needed, so sometimes it has to decode in software, which might lead to your mentioned framedrops).

Hi, first of all thank you for a webtop replacement that is not only usable, but very much so!

I'm trying to get an ipython --pylab development environment running on gentop, but none of the interactive mode graphical backends (for graphing) seem to work. I've tried both Qt4 and Tk/Tcl. Qt segfaults and Tk never seems to get all all the "hooks" in to a python module I use called matplotlib. Specifically, it says the module _tkagg doesn't exist, but I digress.

Does anyone have any advice for using emerge so that when I build python/ipython/matplotlib and the graphical backend, everything is done correctly? I've tried messing with USE flags, installing in certain orders, and many many other things I can't think of right now.

[EDIT] I wanted to add an update-- I got matplotlib working with the pre-compiled GTK in Gendol's repository.

Here's how I solved it:

[LIST]
[*] I installed gtk with "emerge -G pygtk"
[*] I checked http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html and made sure all the build requirements (dependencies) were installed. (Note: emerge --search packagename is how i checked versions and install status)
[*] I downloaded matplotlib's source from sf.net and extracted it.
[*] I added '/osh/usr/' and '/osh/usr/lib/pygtk' to the linux2 and linux3 basedir lists in "setupext.py".
[*] I copied setup.cfg.template to make setup.cfg
[*] I edited setup.cfg and uncommented "gtk = True", "gtkagg = true", and "backend = GTK"
[*] I ran "python setup.py build"
[*] I ran "python setup.py install"
[/LIST]

Side Note: The issue here seems to be matplotlib/emerge not finding GTK, and thus not compiling the modules for it. Is there something we can add to the overlay to make packages that normally check /usr/lib also check /osh/usr/lib?

hi there,

my Linux skills are really low, thus I have encountered a problem which I did not yet figure out how to fix it by myself.

While following the instructions

fails with the output

Unfortunatelly the following line

also fails. The output from the adb shell sys

So, does anybody have an idea how I could unmount mmcblk0p17?

The Atrix contains Nottachtrix 1.3.1 and the WebTop has been downgraded to the 2.3.6 Version, before it was Ubuntop with WebTop2SD which has been uninstalled by now.
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
First of all, what exactly are you typing, unmount or umount? There's a BIG difference. Be careful what you type.
[Atrix 4G General] zosht:
Thank you for your reply. Actually I typed "unmount". I am sorry for the confusion.

Edit:

hey guys, I tried to wipe-out my old WebTop (/osh) before trying to install GenTop2.

Now I could not unmount /preinstall as well but the mke2fs command succeeded.

Unfortunatelly

threw an bad arguments error, but after I omitted the

the remainder could be executed.

The main tarball could be unpacked but after the reboot the Atrix does not show the hdmi-menu after plugging in any hdmi cable, so I cannot start the WebTop or even mirror the Display.
[Atrix 4G General] Frankzor:
I'm trying to install gentop to a sdcard. In the init.rc, which lines did you edit in order to mount the entire /osh/usr to a sdcard ? When I look at that file at first glance, the "/osh" part is only written at two instances (in the beginning and in the end...) and doesn't seem to be made to edit... Or if you don't mind, can you attach your modified init.rc so that I could analyse it please?

Don't worry about boot.img unpacking/repacking thing, I know how to to that (I'm running a multi-boot atrix with nottachtrix, cm7, cm9, cm10, simpletop AND ubuntop on a ADATA 32gb class 4 sdcard lol). I already edited "mounted mtd partitions" plenty of times to accomodate my boot partitions for the many delicious ROMs available.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
hey, i dont have the boot.img or the init.rc at hand right now, but i can tell you from memory, that you need to add the mount command after the mount /osh command in terms of a pretty simple "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1pX /osh/usr" you need to have the /usr files on that partition already (best bet is to take gendols second/first tarball, not the latest - cuz this one has so many symlinks and pseudomounts and the binary installing stuff, that it just makes it terribly hard).

Do you know how to pull the boot.img from the phone? (i dont know how to, but that way i can give you the boot.img, since i partially mistakenly formatted the pc where i had it done - still have a backup but need to connect that...).

Actually i remembered i can just copy it from the booted phone so ehre is my init.rc https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24268926/init.rc you can than combine it to the kernel with your modifications and tools. Feel free to share your modifications as im interested in it as well.
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
Quite crude and entirely untested, but this should work. Should be executed in terminal emulator on the phone or via adb shell.

cd /sdcard
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=boot.img

Many thanks + partition options + firefox issues

First of all, I want to say thanks . THANKS !! Gendol you made my life much better ! not only is gentop2 much faster than the ubuntu flavor, but also I think the solution gendol proposed is nice. I managed to emerge libreoffice and mplayer, thx.

Second : at first I trieda 3GB partition for /mnt/gentoo, but I ended short of inodes. I had to mkfs.ext3 -j -T small in order to create a partition with enough inodes in order to sustain the huge amount of files of the portage tar.bz2 archive. Note that 3gb is not enough for emerge firefox to run (it needs more space). I ended up with a 8Gb partition.

Third : I have an issue with emerge firefox : It looks like some dependencies related to X11 are inconsistent. Somewhere in this thread it is stated that we should rollback to firefox12. I guess I have to unmerge firefox first and then emerge firefox12. Can someone confirm on this ?

Finally, I wanted to underline that although the initial webtop was almost useless, I am now using my lapdock everyday at work (they shut down internet on us due to some malware propagating quickly)

How to emerge firefox

I solved the following problem by creating symbolic links for libxpcom.so.
