[ALPHA 2 - DEC 22] Arch Linux ARM + Gnome 3

[amenditman]

Is not very different as how the classic gnome feels, i'm now compiling maliit to try if its a better keyboard that the one that we use now.

With gnome and e17 I had a lot of system reboots but with razor it has been up for an hour and counting.

Once you're happy with it would you post it for others to try?

i still didnt manage to switch to e17 which is not that much of a problem.
On another note it seems my wifi signal is weaker in Archpad (10-15%) rather than Android (20-30%).
Also, another familiar on how to add a "Reboot to ArchLinux" option on CM7 reboot menu?

Ssh server is running by default, so all you has to do was ssh in from a computer on your network:

Code: Select all

ssh linux@IP

with linux as your password(unless you have changed the defaults). Once you are logged in, simply use nano or vim to fix your issues and then su to root to reboot.

unfortunatelly i've lived all my life with windows and only couple of months ago i got into the linux (mostly debian) world, so im not familiar with most of the techniques of linux, such as repos, git, ssh, etc. Im still happy though of my epiphany to log in novaterm and fix it

Sure, here you have the compiled package so you can start playing with it also:

You have to install the oxygen-icons but it's already on the repos.

Well you can easily just use putty. The application is really simple to use. Just download it from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

After downloading, use this tutorial to connect: http://unixwiz.net/techtips/putty-openssh.html

That really is not a simple task. Well, simple yes but it is also time consuming. You would have to decompile some of the cm7 framework and edit the smali inside. If you are good at building android from source, you could always wait until CM releases their source to the public and add it into the jar itself using java which would be a bit easier if you know java. I guess another option would to write an app that passes the reboot <option> command to the android shell but again, that would need java experience.

After playing a bit with razor-qt i switchet to kde netbook mode and it also works nice (after disabling desktop effects).

I couldn't find yet the reason for the random reboots, also I've found that the packages downloaded booting archlinux download corrupted but they download just fine if we are using chroot.

From WebOs I'm using the following to do the chroot:

mount -o bind /proc /media/linux/proc
mount -o bind /sys /media/linux/sys
mount -o bind /dev /media/linux/dev
chroot /media/linux /bin/bash
source /etc/profile

Just in case that helps someone.

I've made a bad looking video trying to show how nice kde netbook works

Razor Qt: http://youtu.be/9d6PIKHHC6M
KDE Netbook: http://youtu.be/pef8xHBlm7Y

Still couldn't find a way to show the keyboard widget or use the maliit keyboard without composite issues or gtk applications segfaulting all over the place.

So did you install kde, kde-meta or the minimal kde (kdebase kde-l10n-yourlanguagehere phonon-vlc)?

I've used aur/kde-plasma-mobile-git

What are the steps to build the uImage?

Thanks a lot.
