Re: [Debian] Preinstalled minimal image available for Neo FreeRunner
2012/3/23 Thomas Günther thomas.guent...@gmx.de: With your rootfs my Neo does boot. I can login via ssh but I only have a white bar at top on display. If I stop nodm I get a debian login prompt at top on display. Any idea what happens? That's the minimal part of it. It is generous enough to offer you a tray icon area, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm your screen with so called graphical user interfaces. :D So you need to for example apt-get install what I proposed, although that was just applications. Then something either stylus of finger usable for application switching/launching. -Timo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Excerpts from Timo Jyrinki's message of 2012-03-21 16:24:25 +: 2011/9/12 Timo Jyrinki timo.jyri...@gmail.com: Just to let you know, that since I tested that install.sh [1] is working now, I'm making available a snapshot of a minimal Debian installation since I had a clean install anyway [2] - see file Debian_NeoFreeRunner_minimalrootfs_20110912.tar.xz. About the same story repeated, but for 2012. I was asked about the pre-installation image which prompted me to update it. And while updating it I noticed that install.sh had a couple of problems, which I fixed: - Removed obsolete fso-gpsd - Install fso-gtaXX instead of fso-config-gtaXX - Removed obsolete zhone - Offer phoneui-apps in COM - Switch from experimental (unneeded) to unstable for the main Debian repository I only tried minimal installation still, though. I also updated instructions for install.sh usage at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner - note mainly that you probably want to remove openmoko-panel-plugin since its functionality starts to be limited and it eats most of the CPU for no good reason. The pre-installed minimal rootfs is now at: http://people.debian.org/~timo/NeoFreeRunner/ (Debian_NeoFreeRunner_minimalrootfs_20120321.tar.xz) It expects a single partition on the MicroSD card where the tar.xz is unpacked and a Qi bootloader. SSH:ing in works after booting (root password 'changeme'), and after apt-get install foxtrotgps gpsd navit omhacks monav midori wicd lxterminal phoneui-apps you may actually get something useful done. If you want some home UI to use when not attached to computer, you may try my hacky and ugly https://github.com/tjyrinki/tihos As for my own setup, it's still the old http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:TimoJyrinki with FSO1 actually, but I now did this update to enable others more easily to do something useful. -Timo Great! Thank you very much =) First thing I did when setting it up, I've changed IPs as in new SHR: NOTE: IP adresses are changed in new SHR-CORE images after 110822, phone 192.168.7.2 host: 192.168.7.1 It makes bit more sense to me than taking chance with ..0. ;) ~ elf Pavlik ~ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [Debian] Preinstalled minimal image available for Neo FreeRunner
2011/9/20 Aditya Gandhi aditya...@gmail.com: Hi I have installed your image and have given the commands via ssh apt-get install foxtrotgps gpsd navit omhacks monav midori wicd lxterminal but no gui is up, how do I get it working? I do not have a sim, do I need it? Like I said, It is very much not functional as a phone out-of-the-box, because of the ongoing FSO1-FSO2 transition. X however starts automatically and SSH answers, and you may work your way from there,. So, you have X but for more you need to connect via SSH and install something workable. The Debian unstable repository is ongoing changes, and there is no simple functional GUI at the moment. You can install Zhone from experimental as instructed at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner#Current_Status_of_Installation_via_install.sh , but people reported problems with it although it starts. Alternatives include installing a Debian stable and using Zhone there, although if you don't have SIM Zhone is mostly about phone functionality only anyway. So, it is a work in progress and currently requires a lot of manual work. My solution at the moment has been using circa Debian 6.0, Zhone and my own dirty hack control app (https://github.com/tjyrinki/tihos), but unfortunately I haven't done a clean install of my way that I could share with others. Some others use for example IceWM for window manager and launching applications like GPS. -Timo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
