this zImage can work for magldr

almost everthing but no wifi and 3G :o

View attachment zImage-20110308_223001-htcleo-evo.7z
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GuimbardePower:
Thank you! I will test when I can.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
I can't get this to boot.

I put the U0.3 files into SD folder "Ubuntu" except the zImage files.

Placed your zImage and re-named it "zImage"

Re-named initrd.cpio.gz to initrd.gz

But it gets to go go go and then restarts.

However, I used it with Winbuntu which is based on this build, and it boots to desktop with touchscreen working, but only for about 10 seconds then hangs indefinitely.

Will test more soon;)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] ljp1132719438:
it can't be "ubuntu",change it to "linux",like /sdcard/linux :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
That worked but it is the same as winbuntu, I get to desktop then it hangs after about 10 seconds and I have to pull the battery. The touchscreen axes seem inverted too (pointer not aligned with finger), whereas ok in winbuntu.

Anybody with the same problem?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GuimbardePower:
Yes me. I have tested too, and I have exactly the same problem. Ubuntu start, seems to be ok (with the inversed mouse), and it freeze...

I've done exactly the same thing as Robbie P, on a clean sd card.

Any ideas? Any tips?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] ljp1132719438:
sorry but i don't know why

i just put initrd.gz, linux_htc-msm-2.6.32_2.6.32.9-38182-g6ad7e77.tar.gz, rootfs.ext2 and the new zImage into /sdcard/linux, then it works

i also tested Winbuntu, it works fine, no wifi , no 3G, but has correct mouse
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GuimbardePower:
I just went to retry to boot this via magldr, but it still doesn't work. :(
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] ljp1132719438:

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GuimbardePower:
Thank you, but it still doesn't work. This time it just simply dont boot.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
Same for me with that one:(

I didn't know usb host was fixed for the evo kernel;) is it?

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

It booted for me but axes reversed then hangs after 10 secs or so.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bever86:
these both work for me when booting from Magdlr, however the touchscreen axis are inverted (or actually rotated 90 degrees, as if the phone thinks you are in portrait view), the usbhost does not work (it does work for me with the zImage_htcleo_usbhost_2.6.32.9-38182-g6ad7e77 from the first post) and ofc Wifi and 3G don't work
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nikola360:
Works USB host with magldr too?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bever86:
Yes, for me usbhost works with this zImage_htcleo_usbhost_2.6.32.9-38182-g6ad7e77 from the zip in the first post.

I used this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14335100&postcount=472

to get it working.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nikola360:
Thanks for reply ;)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nikola360:
gooooooood

http://i44.tinypic.com/2el5ua0.jpg finally it work with magldr too!!! only wifi and 3g doesn't work now, i didn't test the internal USB ethernet.....
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GuimbardePower:
I want to do almost the same thing with my 2nd HD2: his touchscreen dont work so I want to make him work with a small keyboard and a mouse ^^

But I need wifi working, and some time to do it...
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
I still cant get this to work.

Is there any reason why someone can't post an edited rootfs.ext2 (unzipped or zipped)?

it would make the process a bit easier;)

Thanks
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nikola360:
HERE you can find modded .ext2
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nikola360:
3G Mode works very good for me... Wifi and USB Ethernet doesn't works
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bever86:
how did u fix 3g? or did it work out of the box??
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nikola360:
i didn't fix it...it works.

hmm strange.. I can't even get the adapter to show up in the console for some reason.. will have to do some more testing xD
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] retsam88:
I've got an idea:

-relative mouse movement(like touchpad on laptop) in ubuntu

-and volume buttons used as mouse buttons(volup=left mouse click etc)

Is it possible in Linux to do this?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
Same here:D

It didn't work before, but my 3G signal is weak in the room where I was

I am typing this now using firefox, usb mouse & keyboard, ubuntu 0.3a & magldr.

:cool::cool::cool:
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
For those with touchscreen working but with axes inverted, try using terminal and type

xinput set-prop leo-touchscreen "Evdev Axes Swap" 1

(I am not a progammer but found this somewhere;))

I just opened "3G Mode" and entered APN settings of my carrier in the text boxes then after a few seconds the phone vibrates twice and a connected notification box appears.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] retsam88:
is there any news on OP, or he is simply gone?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GoldRenard:
Correction:

xinput set-prop htcleo-touchscreen "Evdev Axes Swap" 1

This works great.

But my solution is changing display mode in portrait. It is more pleasant for me :)

With this kernel mouse movement is relative. But I don't know how to do a right click. Long tap doesn't work. Also, I don't know how to make the left button pressed while moving the mouse (bye drag'n'drop).
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] retsam88:
I think we should encourage developers to put a little more effort in this project

For example, I am offering 10Eur(maybe even more!) for

any

successful development regarding working Linux on magldr/clk.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GuimbardePower:
I just went to retry and i've got it working. But no touchsreen, 3g or wifi. (For the 3g I'm not sure at 100% because I have a bad reception at my home).

I've tested with a keyboard and a mouse and it works fine. If we got the wifi working it would be perfect!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] nikola360:
solution for 3G

i understood why 3G Mode doesn't work with some people....Ubuntu phone program is not developed for unlock SIM card (becouse when you started Ubuntu from WM 6.5, the sim was already unlockd by WM, now with MAGLDR boot it's not possible) so you must remove PIN code with Android or WP7 and them 3G Mode will works
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] GuimbardePower:
Wow! I didn't think about that! I will test, it must work!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] bever86:
hmm i have no pin code on my sim and still no 3g.. it could be the dual sim adapter i use though.. want to remove it anyway but i will need a new sim card, will have to get into that soon:P
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] wserfer:

For those people not getting the unity interface, I did this:

I clicked on my storage card on the desktop, then clicked the purple computer icon in the toolbar, then clicked file system, usr, share, applications, login items. Clicked unlock, entered "ubuntu" as password, changed the login environment to the netbook one (instead of blank), then clicked close.

Then rebooted:

Pressed the lock icon on topmost taskbar, switch user, clicked power button and shut down, rebooted.

really thanks it looks awesome
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] curiousGeorge:
Performance is certainly better this time around. I think posting (part of) the readme on the first page would help a lot of confused users. It includes a changelog, password (ubuntu), a list of what works and what doesn't, etc -- just like the Android builds.

My impressions of 0.3 are in some respects better than 0.2, but for all of my use cases, it is one step forward, 2 (or 3) steps backward. But I do not mean ANY insult by this, honestly. It is obvious a lot of work has gone into the release, despite delays. The lack of sound and keypad (X issue? Did you open a ticket/report?) and proper stand-by are the biggest remaining administrative niggles. I'm impressed by the Unity interface, even though it occasionally fails to load properly. (It loaded the first time, but on every subsequent reboot it never loads.)

- I see the available memory is now 412.3MB. This is good.

- Applications (as well as boot) speeds are much improved.

- There is no openoffice. This is a big regression, since the "Zoho" nonsense is no better than Office Mobile, Android's QuickOffice, or anything else, but much worse due to compatibility trouble, functionality, and usability on the go. A big allure to "Ubuntu" is that it contains full desktop compatible software, not watered-down items tethered to an internet connection (read below: wifi does not work). Real Office (OpenOffice) was one if not THE major use case for Ubuntu on the device, since a system with no sound, no calls, etc is only truly useful for desktop use cases.

- Wifi does not work, and my home network is not even detected. I'm looking into this and seeing if there isn't something I can do to get it running. (edit: only eth0 interface is detected by wicd, there is no wlan anywhere). Is the firmware included?

- Battery status partially works (you need to click an icon to get the status and fill %), and charging still does not seem to work (tested by hooking the USB to the computer).

All in all, this release is not usable in its current form -- no unity launching, I had to create desktop launchers for system monitor, terminal, etc, and no wifi means no ability to download openoffice from software center, I cannot browse the web or view/work on documents, etc.

An impressive effort, and I can see this is a step forward. But again, it is with great pain (and hours of struggle with the system) that I must report that for me it is multiple steps backward as well. I also wish, in hindsight, that the development progress had been posted here so I could comment/test/help out wherever I could. I'm going to keep trying to enable wifi, which will allow me to debug Unity (or remove it and install a real netbook interface like KDE's).
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] hitohito:
Hello! Can i make a phone call with ubuntu 0.3? First post says yes, without sound. It's true? How do i solve this?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sopalajo de Arrierez:
USB network devices not working :-(

Thanks a lot for this Ubuntu distro.

USB-Host mode works OK without loosing WiFi: mouse and pendrives do work.

But I can not make work any USB network device:

- USB Ethernet device (USB to RJ45, you know): it is detected (I see it using "lsusb"), Ubuntu configures a new "eth1", I do "sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.55 netmask... etc", the RJ45 light is ON (even at the switch)... but there is no ping reponse :-(

- USB WiFi device: I have tested 4 of them. They are all detected (I see them using "lsusb" too), but Ubuntu doesn't configures anything, and "iwconfig" don't show them.

Any advices?

Thanks.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
Did you change the zImage to ethernet or adb one? Else not sure.

Also not sure about usb wifi, I have always used internal wifi.

Regards
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sopalajo de Arrierez:
Yes, I did. Only USB-Host zImage success in making my USB Ethernet and USB WiFi devices lights start blinking. ADB and USBEthernet zImages do not :(

Why, if our kernel is >=2.6, these devices can not start? I thought USBNet core was included in Linux kernel since 2.1 (or before). And Ubuntu 10.10 works like a charm with any wifi device, detecting it at once. :confused:
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] andboy:
Sounds like you need to configure the kernel to include support for your particular wlan devices. There are general instructions on http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=QuickDeveloperStartGuide#Kernel but you will need to search for the correct kernel config options for your wifi devices.

Let us know if you get stuck.

BTW, I think USBNet is something different (connects device to pc via usb cable)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] speedwie:
I can't wait to run 0.4 version? Please release? Also, link for 0.3 isn't working.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sopalajo de Arrierez:
This is fine. I will look at this documentation.

Mmm... however, Ubuntu v10.10 works fine with practically any wifi USB device, even using package injection. Isn't there a config option to make all of them work?

No, I think not. USBNet si the driver that makes USB Network devices work in Linux Kernel:

http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/

I believe you refer to what we do call here "USB Ethernet": a connection to PC via USB that gives HTC HD2 a IP address and network capability. There is no RJ45 jack or cable in that.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] hopkinskong:
The ONLY way is using USBHOST's kernel, but not usbnet or adb,

after plugging in those device, try figure out what happened by viewing the kernel log.

Desktop version's ubuntu is different from this, at least, the CPU arch. is different.

I see there are few lan drivers in the kernel option, you can look into it.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] hopkinskong:
btw, can you give me the model(or chipset) name, i want to compile it into my Slackware, too.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sopalajo de Arrierez:
Well, I do have several USB WiFi devices. I can give you model and chipset names.

There is a long time since the last time I made any Linux kernel compilation, so I am not very used to the procedure right now. Are you going to compile them into a next release of this Ubuntu for HTC HD2 or similar? If yes, could you please share the results, so we all can test it? :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] igorbullz:
who tried install ubuntu 0.3 and then do autoupdate to 11.04?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] pioterek2666:
No one if you want to be first than give it a try!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Sopalajo de Arrierez:
This is the best idea :-)

But I would wait to 12.04, because it will be a LTS version (more stable and so, it is supposed).

Anyway, I am not sure the update will be OK, due to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569460

but somebody say they could perform "apt-get update" without problems.

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] sado1:
Guys, as you can read in posts at MAGLDR version topic, 10.04 runs at MAGLDR (or even CLK) with Wifi and Touchscreen working (needs few tweaks though). That being said, I also managed to run 11.10 and 12.04 beta 2 (daily image, ~10 days newer than Beta 2, to be precise). It was VERY easy - I just changed the kernel to warren's 2.6.35 (also known as ACA kernel). But Wifi (and 3G) doesn't seem to work on 11.10/12.04 - keep in mind though that 10.04 was heavily customized for HD2, and what I did run were unmodified Ubuntu versions. Also, Unity 2D is glitching like hell, that's why I won't even bother working on it anymore - if someone figures out how to force launcher to close after launching a program, good job. Changing the WM would be ideal, but I dunno how to do it without Internet connection. (Unless using some chroot magic, but I'm not sure how to do that with ARM image on x86 pc) Keep in mind that I don't have any idea how would that work on HARET.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] hopkinskong:
Is that kernel designed for Android only? If yes, the wifi and 3G will not work.

If it has source, try to build it from source with modified parameters for linux.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] torken:
Blue bar?

Hey guys!

When i launch the "haret-pre-0.5.3-20100629_092009-QSD8250-ONLY.exe" file from the file explorer on the phone, it doesn't boot into Ubuntu. It only shows me a few lines of code wich then fade out and after a minute or two a thin blue bar appears. The bar's on the left side of the screen and nothing happens until i pull the battery and the phone boots back into WM.

Did anybody had the same issue? What should I do to get this to work properly?

(If this question is redundant, i'm really sorry, I searched the thread and couldn't find anything that describes the problem i'm having right now.)

its very very close!!

this is really really good!!! so thanks guys, far better than i could even imagine ubuntu would be on a phone!

bigest annoyance for me!! no screen rotation. it was in the last one. As the screen is not 768 px high, many windows you cant click the buttons, so i cant install anything from the syn package manager. does anybody know a fix? there was an icon to rotate the screen for 0.2!

the hardware buttons or right click, drag window etc.. no longer work as they did in 0.2

sound is no biggeie for me, tho (and i know if might not be possible there might not be linux drivers for the HD2) but i would love bluetooth, to allow a bluetooth keyboard. this would make the HD2 + ope office a real option!!

Thanks again guys, you have done an amazing job! (and any work around for the screen rotation, i tried changing the boot script to screenrotation=0 but that did nothing! )
