Hey Walter,

I was able to make the Ubuntu.img a decent size to install the necessary applications. I was just wondering if it is possible to use qemu with temporary mouse drivers using the rhobuntu image. I really don't want to create the rootfs from scratch if at all possible (unless there is a nice script/package that can configure all of the rhobuntu specific changes to be at the current state of the Ubuntu.img.

If I missed what you were trying to point out on that page could you point it out? I know you can mount the Ubuntu image. Are you suggesting I install the app while the rootfs is mounted?

Thanks in advance,

Ouch dude. When I got rid of mine (which I suspect is actually the one you have now), I didn't expect this project was going to slow down.

Nice work on the keymap, i'll have a play round with and upload it to a new build. I've been playing around with getting the wifi (with phhusson giving me a few pointers as im rather new to this) to work but its harder than i thought, i'll keep working on it and see if I can get it to work. On the note about it freezing after 10-15min i see this too although the time frame changes alot, i have easily managed to get it to last about 40min without it crashing but then like it will crash after about 2min sometimes, not sure why, but I think this is definatly an issue that needs to be fixed, properly before wifi, sound or anything. But yeah we definatly need some real devs on board to get this going :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
Could you perhaps also ask phhusson how to deal with that keymap problem?

Bombenbach figured out how to mount the SD card with the terminal so you can browse it with the PCMan File Manager.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bombenbach:
I did some research on the net about the Ubuntu image we are using and it looks like it orgininally came from Zubuntu, an Ubuntu for Sharp Zaurus devices.

http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/index.php

Then a guy named fladnaG managed to get Zubuntu working on his Samsung Omnia

http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/289771/linux-on-samsung-omnia/

and called the distro OmniUbuntu. Unfortunately, three weeks ago he decided to stop developing it

http://fladnag.net/blog/

Anyway, phhusson and other great devs apparently managed to get OmniUbuntu running on HTC Devices and fatsal has managed to get much of the XPERIA X1 hardware working.

Unfortunately, without real devs devoted to Rhodium we probably won't get Ubuntu working properly on our device.

The future

Hi all

I am not a dev but I can't help thinking that the idea of getting a full Linux Distro running properly on a Rhodium - or similar device - is in fact very significant.

I hope this takes off.

Does it Work for Sprint TP2?

Any1 know if this works on the Sprint TP2? I've been debating on what to do since I'm on a SERO plan, and they prolly will restrict WM7, just like they do android, pre, etc. and it doesn't look like any other WM 6.* phones are coming sprint's way, so it's either buy this or wait for a new Crackberry, but if someone can confirm that this works on Sprint's TP2, then I'm gonna call them up tomorrow and place an order!

Hi Rhobuntu team

First of all thanks for you efforts in building this port.

I have sucessfully installed Rhobuntu on touch diamond with a modification to the startup script.

However possibly due to low amount of memory it works very slow when quite heavy application is launched.

I have also found that the numeric keyboard always enters numbers and I cannot enter arrows :(

Do you have any plans to create port of ubuntu 10.04 or some kind of text only build with ssh server?

And to add onto that... there's really nothing much we can add to it until other things are fixed ( like sound, bluetooth, hw3d, ect )

Okay, now ALSA should work :-)

Update your zImage (don't forget the modules that come with it)

You'll need to launch playwav2 one time right after boot, but after that, normal ALSA would work "normally". But too high frequency rates won't work properly and will give buffer underruns. (basically, only 8kHz works properly :( )

Please Help!

Hi everyone,

I downloaded the rhobuntu package from 4shared and unpacked it on my sd card as it came (Ubuntu.img on the root and haret, initrd, zimage, modules and startup on a UBUNTU folder).

After making the appropiate changes as the wiki said (mtype 1910, my own mac address, recalibrate false, msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f and physkeyboard=fuze, I tapped haret and... nothing. It just got stuck. Not even the black screen, just the same "haret booting linux" screen, with total commander on the background and everything. I´ve read this thread and the original thread to no avail, and I know I can run haret because I have played with xdandroid a lot, so right now I need a direct copy paste of some working settings to see if I can get this rigth.

So if anyone could help me with the following:

1) your working startup.txt for a raph110 (fuze)

2) a list of the files you have and where you have them with the latest build

3) how much free space you had in your sd card to run it

4) other tips that you can spare

I know this is a lot to ask and that you are very busy people, but you would be helping a fellow poster to get UBUNTU, a full walking-talking-bad-to-the-bone OS, working in his HTC!!!

I have a AT&T Fuze RAPH110 with Energy ROM 21914 Cookie Dinik, if you need more info please just let me know!

Thanks for your help on this one

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
They're all dead ! Yes but ...

With the newest Froyo leak for the Acer Liquid, I've got a little surprise, a SoftAP enabled firmware for BCM4325, the wifi chipset of our rhodium, and this firmware was the only thing missing, so now we've got it, and yes SoftAP works !

stinebd is currently working on making it work in android, but who cares about android ? :p

So here is how to make it run in rhobuntu:

Get the apsta firmware here: http://husson.hd.free.fr/BCM4325_apsta.bin (mirror ?) and put it in your sdcard.

Boot into rhobuntu, then do:

iwpriv eth0 WL_FW_RELOAD FW_PATH=/sdcard/BCM4325_apsta.bin
iwpriv eth0 STOP
iwpriv eth0 START
iwpriv eth0 AP_SET_CFG ASCII_CMD=AP_CFG,SSID=AndroidAP,SEC=open,KEY=12345,CHANNEL=1,PREAMBLE=0,MAX_SCB=8,END
iwpriv wl0.1 AP_BSS_START

You might rename the firmware file, but the filename MUST have the string apsta in it.

Now you get an open (yeah sorry about that. I might explain later how to enable WPA cipher) AndroidAP essid mapped on wl0.1 device.

You might want to set it to an IP, and start masquerading/dnsmasq/dhcp server/whatever on it, but that's standard linux stuff, google will be able answer to that :-) (ATM I use tethering to share my desktop's connection to my liquid through my rhodium :cool: )

Someone might want to do a more detailed documentation or even a script, to handle iptables/mac filtering/WPA stuff.

Edit: For WPA stuff, change SEC= to wpa2-psk (wpa-psk, wep and open are also available), generate the hexadecimal key (see http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjoris/wpapsk.html for example), and set it for the KEY=. Don't forget this key is essid specific

Root is need for touchscreen calibration.

Maybe we can change this with AmiPro`s help.

"exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1" by "exec /sbin/rungetty --autologin root tty1"

Reason: this enables root autologin. Although working as root is not recommended in Linux, our Rhobuntu is still

pretty much in development and some things like startx or ts_calibrate won't work without root access. Linuxers

concerned about safety can ofcourse disable that and create an extra user. Remember, however, that out kernel

is compiled with CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK which creates some odd group permissions. For more information

Touchscreen new detection script

Download: http://rhobuntu.googlecode.com/files/init

Please change the first line in /init from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. And replace the "Detecting the touchscreen location" section (till before "Recalibration needed?" ) with the following code.

The path can be directly specified as the value for command line parameter tsdev in startup.txt.

tsdev=""

for i in `cat /proc/cmdline` ; do
case $i in
tsdev=*)
tsdev=`echo $i | sed 's/[-a-zA-Z0-9]*=//'`

Thanks, that worked... kind of.

On reboot it booted me into the shell (tty1). I'm not even able to run startx.

I'm switching back to booting as root in the meantime, I'll add my non-root user to SUDOERS... will that make the startup scripts work, or is there something else I need to do as well?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] amiPro:
startx must be started as root. After adding the user sudoers, you can run startx by typing "sudo startx" and enter the non-root password.

If your intention is to always autologin and run X, I prefer using nodm.
