I want to install two programs "VLC" and "Clementine". How do i install them? I tried:

emerge vlc

and

emerge clementine

But it didn't worked, it told me that i need some files or something to install the ebuild...anyone? Sorry for the noob question!
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
>emerge --autounmask-write clementine

-wait

>etc-update

choose the file you need to update (1,2,3..) and it will open it to see the changes

press q

press 1 (merge and write)

type out "yes" when asked to mv, no quotation marks

choose any other files left

repeat q & 1

>emerge clementine

Are the instructions the same for getting this running on one of Motos other webtop enabled phones, like the photon or Droid Bionic.

I have those and would like to get this running on the Bionic more then anything.
[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
dude i can't get it to work on the faux's 1.3ghz kernel included with the nottachtrix rom. i'm using the standard kernel, not the experimental ext4 version. i reran the set up commands and used mount -t ext3 which worked fine. (interestingly i ran it with ext4 and that worked as well) but i get the same results every time, moto screensaver no login.

my home folder is left over from an old install on the faux's 1.0ghz kernel. could that be causing problems? other than that i can't think of a cause
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
Thanks for this, I will be trying this tomorrow.

Had my lapdock less than a day and firefox just doesn't seem stable to run on here, does the other browser on gentoo work properly ?

Thanks again :)
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
Both Aurora (Firefox) and Midori (comes pre-installed) run fine for me.

Aurora seems a little more laggy, but it may have been what I was doing in the background.

Has anyone had success emerging anything useful?

I'm interested in anything that would improve on the lapdock as a netbook.
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
thanks

kristallsturm.de /GenTop2/packages/

choose from there theres a whole load of things you could try out

I may just try doing this today so wish me luck :)

This is great, brilliant work

a few questions, has anybody done these? how?

mount Usb External Hard drive, ntfs

*******

tried

created /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ntfs3g.rules

containg ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ntfs", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}="ntfs-3g"

************

***************

paste into terminal? no vertical bar, keyboard of lapdock

SOLVED

"Copying and pasting

Copying and pasting large blocks of text with a working mouse server is very easy. Simply highlight the text with the left mouse button (it will stay highlighted when you release the button), switch to a different terminal if you wish, position the cursor, and press the middle mouse button to paste the text where you placed the cursor. Note that you can copy and paste without ever leaving the terminal you started. This makes posting the output of error messages to the Gentoo Forums extremely simple.

Text-mode browsing and GPM

If you have a message on one screen and a text-mode web browser on the other, you can copy the error message by highlighting it, then change to the other terminal, left-click the appropriate text entry box to select it, and then press the middle mouse button. Voilà! Your error message can now be posted to the forums."

any way to add mobile view launcher to bottom control panel? can only find "open in mobile view"

Stop the phone from locking while connected to lapdock?
[Atrix 4G General] zomgno1:
Is xdm running? If X is not running you will just get that moto screensaver... (and you can mirror your phone this way...)

edit the command from "webtop-action-intent ..." stuffs to just "aiw"
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
installed the first tarball properly working without error, when trying to install the second tarball the whole lapdock and phone crash :/

should I retry or am I doing something wrong (I placed it on my sdcard)

also Im not sure if this has anything to do with the second tarball but the mobile view isn't working :/

but Thanks for this amazing mod :D
[Atrix 4G General] mart247:
edit the command from "webtop-action-intent ..." stuffs to just "aiw"[/QUOTE]

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
Make sure you are extracting it after typing ">cd /" ie extracting to the root directory

/sdcard/ is a directory on your phone it is not your external sdcard

First make sure you are logged in as adas not root

according to an earlier post

try this in terminal

>emerge -G1 orbit

but you shouldn't be having this issue if you're using the latest tar
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
Still not working and I placed in the /sdcard/ before

i tried the emerge but got an error :/ should i install the second tarball before doing this ?

and what will happen once the second tarball installs will it automatically restart ?

(how can i tell it has installed ?)

Thanks for the help :)
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
I know you were thinking out loud and this is mostly relevant before the /mnt/gentoo implementation. But directions on how to mount our system folders to external sdcard would make things that much buttery. I'm looking at fstab but I'm worried there are cross links beside ubuntu.sh and I'm really green at this. ;)

Everything works great from scratch so I'm going to go back to step one and only emerge the bare minimum.
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
anyone know why my phone crashes when installing the second tarball ?

i've tried on the computer and lapdock it just ends up freezing and slowing down the phone.

any solutions for this ?

thanks :)
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
do a

>df

see if a directory is at 99%
[Atrix 4G General] mart247:
Advanced: (Actually most of this stuff is advanced.) You can also use the new GenTop to partition the external sd-card. Open a terminal, and use something along the lines of:

Code:

# fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1

(partition it, see further description of fdisk on the net)

# mkfs.ext3 -m0 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Noob here, not really sure what to do

have 8gb card, want to split in half
[Atrix 4G General] teeth_03:
How about a how to video for dummies? It should include how to back up and restore the default webtop as well.

This mod, just from what ive read, does not seem easy to install if youre not a linux expert.
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
ok, just tried df but none of them are at 99%, closest is the /osh at 83% and /system at 85%

and another problem that has come up is that I cant connect to the internet on the adas user but I can open Mobile view perfectly in this user. The root user has workig internet but doesnt allow me to access the mobile view. I still need to partition the external sd card and install the second tarball(cant do this because it keeps crashing after a while and I need to remove ethe batterey to restart the phone)

Thanks again for all those that have helped me :)

edit : Now partitioned my sd card but still can't install the second tarball

keeps crashing around this point any suggestions ?

mnt/gentoo/portage/metadata/md5-cache/games-board/xscrabble-2.10-r1
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
Here is a detailed explanation of fdisk cli

Your external sdcard is "/dev/block/mmcblk"

do

1>fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
2>d
3>n
4>p
5>partition number should be 2 for the linux partition you want to make, the others you can number 1,3 or 4
6>first sector use the default and follow the above link for reference
7>last sector should be a fraction of the total listed so you have the desired fraction left
>repeat 3-7 to create the extra partitions
>w
>mkfs.ext3 -m0 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
>then plug the sdcard into a computer and format the remaining partitions however you want

Step 1 > make sure you are on nottachtrix or stock rom with busybox

Step 2 > install adb (Guide Here)

Step 3 > Connect phone to computer and enable developer acces, run "adb shell" as explained in above guide

Step 4 > Follow directions or copy paste commands from Original Post

Step 5 > Stop where the directions say "Advance" in bold letters

Step 6 > Reboot, plug in phone to lapdock

Step 7 > Log in with user:adas pass:atrix and thats it
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
used the above tut to partition my sd but still have an issue with installing the second tarball, always ends up crashing and freezing the phone :/

would appreciate some help on this thanks :)
[Atrix 4G General] mart247:
same here not sure if doing it right though,

i just went with the default values,

then trying to install second tar get not enough space messages

since then gentop2 has become unstable!
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
$ su
# cd /
# tar xvjf /sdcard/GenTop2-20120509-portage.tar.bz2

The "cd /" is very important.

If you accidentally run tar from your adas-home you will extract the files to the wrong place and fill up your internal memory card.

When that happens the creation of temporary files during the ordinary use of gentoo will cause it to crash.

That is why I suggested using a "df" and seeing if a directory is larger than it should be, causing the "not enough space" message.
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
Mart, make sure you have partitioned your sd card according to the guide merill posted above helped me alot. It then ran fine perfectly but couldn't install about 5 of them but seems to be working fine so far.

I still need help accessing the internet on the adas account and I can't get aiw to work on the root user.

I've tried emerge -g1 orbit , but that didn't resolve anything :/

any tips on how to fix this ?

Thanks again for helping a n00b out :D

EDIT : when checking my sd card I found that the fat32 partition contained some portage files and other stuff, is this right ? and is the ext partition supposed to be hidden
[Atrix 4G General] mart247:
changed rom was on aura to nottachtrix4G

now stuck on last command

atrix adas # mkfs.ext3 -m0 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
mke2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!

any ideas? i unmounted sdcard but then location not recognised

Edit: Re-ran cmds worked

Edit:crashed again with second tar

formatting sdcard

part 1 default 2048 to 2048*3500(about half)

part 2 default to end of card

then ran

mkfs.ext3 -m0 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

didn't take card out to format other partition, just ran 2nd tar (did the cd /) went for long time but phone went into recovery???

@inaudibly, how you do your card?
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
You should never log in as root user, always log in as adas.

For internet access I had to open midori (browser) go to

Edit>Preferences

Sub Menu "Network"

Change to "No Proxy Server"

If you continue to have problems; make sure you say exactly what error / issue you are having. Whether you are on wifi or 3g.

I've only been able to help thus far because I've made the same mistakes :)
[Atrix 4G General] starrwulfe:
I'm still getting "no space left on device" errors when I try to emerge stuff. I'm not understanding how that's possible since all the binary unpacking is in the /tmp directory and it's mounted to the SD card, right? A little help please.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
@mart im pretty sure I rebooted my phone before running the last command and I formatted the partition before continuing

@merill I get cannot resolve proxy

I've tried no proxy and the automatic one.

Im running on wifi

Im gonna redo the whole process today and make sure I login with adas first

Thanks for your help again :)

EDIT : done the whole process again, logged in as adas first internet appears to be working now and just installing the second tarball now

EDIT : having issues again on the second tarball, can't seem to partition the sd card again :/ not sure why but when i try to write the table i get this error

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at

EDIT : After a few hours of hard work I finally was able to install the second tarball, now onto installing new programs :)
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
Hey guys, for those who might try to get the /osh/usr stuff onto a separate partition on the external sdcard, i might wanna say you need to do the mount in the init.rc in the ramdisk of the kernel, or you will have issues several issues (one being that the lcd input is not disabled on gentop startup and i suspect several more). In order to do so, one has to take the kernel hes using unpack it edit the init.rc and than repack it and flash it to boot. If anyone is interested in it i modified in this way faux's latest 1ghz kernel so that it mounts /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 on /osh/usr . For now it all seems to work.

Once im done with updating the system ill try to test to put all the files from gendols gentop tar onto a single partition on a sdcard and than edit the init.rc int he way that the partition with it on on the sdcard, will get mounted to /osh . Theoretically that might leave us with up to 32GB (or even 64GB sdcards) for gentop.
[Atrix 4G General] starrwulfe:
...OK...

Has anyone successfully emerged LibreOffice using the binary? (emerge -G libreoffice)

I know I keep asking but no one has answered yet... Again, where do binaries get unpacked because I keep getting "no space on device" errors whenever I try to emerge it. Everything else seems to run just fine....

Should I start all over? Bueller? Bueller?
[Atrix 4G General] merril:
emerge libreoffice worked for me (no -g to force compile)

First try an "emerge --keep-going world" to get as many dependencies as possible

Before emerging libreoffice my /osh partition was at 95%, now it is at 98% so make sure you limit the number of items you emerge before attempting its install.

My current install I've only got comix, rdesktop, vlc, libreoffice and I don't plan on adding anything else. And I've learned to always use --fail-clean

If we get our /osh/usr/ directories mounted to sdcard-ext that would help, but I believe gendol is worried it would slow things down.
[Atrix 4G General] starrwulfe:
Thanks. I tried to emerge --keep-going world but still get

OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device: '/mnt/gentoo/tmp/portage/app-arch/bzip2-1.0.6-r3/temp/logging'

but when I df -h to see the sizes, I get:

That's why I'm trying to find out where this is downloading to and being unpacked... There's plenty of room on the /mnt/gentoo directory, and even some room in /mnt.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
It might be that the tmp files are too big and it fills up your /mnt/gentoo partition. Do you actually try to emerge the binary libreoffice or do you by mistake try to compile it yourself? Do you have the right portdir overlay set and the right overlay selected and updated with layman and than did you emerge the right package?
[Atrix 4G General] starrwulfe:
^^ Since I have no clue what you're talking about, I'm gonna say "nope!" :)

Can you walk me through the commands so I can check in a terminal?

Thanks for helping me!

I did assume that doing emerge with the -G switch meant to get just binaries though...
[Atrix 4G General] starrwulfe:
I think I found out the problem...

Seems my SD card still had junk on it in the linux partition from way back when I was running Debian on it. I thought I had erased everything (no need to reformat when it's already an ext3 partition, was my thought...)

So I used my notebook running Ubuntu and reformatted the SD card's linux partition, redid tar xvjf the portage tree, and did layman and emerge sync to make sure I was headed in the right direction...

Libreoffice installed without a hitch and /mnt/gentoo is at 44%.

What other programs are recommended? :)
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
@starrwulfe try firefox once you gave installed it, it will come up as aurora

Does anyone know how I would customise the themes ? I tried adding a theme but failed :/
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I have Murrine installed and can use those themes but can't find the configurator to customize.
[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
Elementary based themes cause problems with mobile view. Id mentioned before that murrine was causing a problem but that was wrong.

To install themes you copy a theme into home/adas/.themes or usr/share/themes then apply it with the appearance dialog. I recommend emerging both murrine and aurora because a lot of popular themes use those engines.
[Atrix 4G General] inaudibly:
I do not have a .theme folder should I create one?

And thanks for helping :)
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
But the configurator is not there for full customization with Murrine............or I completely missed something, but I cannot find it in any menu. We should be able to fully customize Murrine themes.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
hey guys, did anyone try to recompile gcc lately and got an error on compile about VFP register not being supported? (its driving me crazy and i dont know why its not working...)

i get this error, and only when trying to compile gcc, everything else compiles fine... http://paste.lugons.org/show/1290/ does anyone know what it could be, got any idea gendol? I even tried with several sdcards, with all the gentop version (424,428,509) with all possible mountpoints, yet i constantly get this error... i simply dont understand that and it worked before

edit:

LOL ill anwser my own question: thers a bug/change in gcc https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415937#c9 about softfp, so ANYONE who will try to recompile gcc will get the same error if he doesnt use the workaround from that bug link

[Atrix 4G General] aaron.a:
hmmm, i used it one ages ago on ubuntu to quickly test possibilities in murrine and as i recall it was a different install. it didn't come with the murrine engine. i might be wrong?

Wonder if fluxbox would be worth it over xfce...

:cool:
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
regarding all the possible X window managers, i believe lxde would be the best fit, since it has most functionality/same as xfce, but is more leightweight. edit: erm it doesnt seem to pull lxde-base stuff ona emerge --sync for me. quite weird =/

uhm for thsoe who have a dock, but the phone's screen doesnt go black when they connect the phone, it can be done manually by doing

# cd /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm3532/0-0038/leds/lcd-backlight-webtop/
# echo "1" > brightness

than to change back to turned on display change the 1 after echo to 0 .

and i second the usb help request, phone recognises usb stick but not usb hdd
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
Turn off the phone, take out the sdcard, turn on the phone, turn it off again; put the sdcard into an usb reader, repartition and reformat ( would suggest mkfs.ext4 -m 0 /dev/sdX2 ) it with your linux pc and untar the portage stuff to it from gendols tarball on your pc; put the card back into the phone, turn on, edit the ubuntu.sh script so that it mounts it with ext4 (add -t ext4 in the line where it says to mount mmcblk1p2, after mount and before the /dev... ), reboot, do emerge --sync , it should work now ( i had the same issue, for some reason the phone thought my partition is 1.2GB big and not 4GB, i fixed it that way).

I dont get the problem with USB hdd's im using one for ages now and it all works (i was able to sue it on a powered usb hub and on the HD dock lately, without an issue, i even have /var/tmp/portage mounted to it and swapon on one of the partitions. I am however using a Y usb cable so that the hdd gets power from 2 usb ports). Maybe if you define better what sort of setup you are trying to run (HD dock, lapdock, powered usb hub with hdmi hack ?), what dmesg says after you connect the hdd, what hdd you use and what cable you use.
