PS: After letting it charge a little the devel image also recovered.
Some part of the GUI (kwin or something) had crashed.
So, the devel version, in general, works as well. :)

Hi,

attached I send two .ks files: one for creating a testing and one for
creating a devel rootfs tarball.
Please note that these .ks files will generate armv7hl installations
instead of armv7l as can be downloaded from basyskom.
Both use the pvr driver.

I briefly tested the generated tarballs:

The testing one seems to work ok.
It booted fine and I could make a suspend/resume cycle without problems.

The devel one boots and the GUI comes up.
However, here the GUI got somewhat "stuck".
Nothing responds except actions being triggered via the hardware buttons
(volume, lock screen).
I don't know if this may be caused by my device battery being nearly
empty (At least I saw some message at bootup that may have caused the
GUI to lock up.).
I will test that later after letting the device charge a little.

I generated the rootfs tarballs as follows:
PATH=$PATH:/sbin sudo mic create fs
plasma-active-archos-gen9-pvr-mer-devel-2013-02-23.ks
--pack-to=plasma-active-archos-gen9-pvr-mer-devel-2013-02-23.tar.gz
--pkgmgr=yum --arch=armv7hl


Up to now, the bits for the armv7hl hardware adaptation are only hosted
in my "private" repositories on cobs@meego:
https://build.pub.meego.com/project/show?project=home%3Awonko%3Aarchos-g9-pa-adaptation

https://build.pub.meego.com/project/show?project=home%3Awonko%3Aarchos-g9-pa-adaptation%3Apvr



If there is the interest I (or someone else) could push this stuff into
a little bit "more official" place.
Would creating own projects for an Archos G9 armv7hl adaptation make sense?
Imho integrating the changes with the existing Archos G9 armv7l
adaptation would be pretty complicated as we would need to distinguish
between soft and hard float for building some packages in a single
common project.

I could also upload the images somewhere if you like to test those
yourself.



Regards,

Ruediger

    As work-around to get

    latest devel stuff running on your device, just add the following
    repo to latest testing based
    archos gen9 image (try the pvr one):

    zypper ar -f

http://repo.pub.meego.com/Project:/KDE:/Devel/CE_UX_PlasmaActive_armv7l/
    develop



This gave an error while doing the upgrade of kdebase (something about
a directory that can't be deleted)
I'll have more time to look at it this weekend

To bad to hear about the support problems, it is nice hacking a tablet
with vendor support.

There was a similar issue with switching Nexus 7 build from testing to
devel. See here in the comments:

may be it'll be helpful.
