Maybe im just doing something wrong but when I open haret and hit run the comand line text runs then it asks me to log in and I dont have a keyboard or anything is there something im doing wrong?

also i get an error Unexpected inconsistency run fsck manually then a maintenance shell

one more thing im on BW 1.4 windows mobile 6.5

First, about the fsck : I think you've unplugged your card reader without umounted it or rebooted the omnia with the reset hole or battery while writing.
You have to :
Plug the card in your cardreader, under Linux. Now assuming that your card is sdb and the omnibuntu partition the 2nd
On a terminal, type :
"sudo umount /dev/sdb*"
and
"sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb2"
Answer yes at all questions.

Second, For the login :
I've done modifications for autologin in console.
Are you sure you have done what is said in the tutorial ?

Now, try this : Do what i told you in the first part. maybe just a badblock blocking the autologin.
If it don't work, re-install omnibuntu.

If all that don't work, i'll try something else.

Hi guys !

News :

Remember, i told you somebody helped me with the name (Omniubuntu to Omnibuntu). His nickname is "X-Ray A4T" and now, he has done a logo for this version of ubuntu, of course inspired by the ubuntu logo itself.

See this, tell me what you think. I like it.

Posted Image

Gonna change the "Start" menu button to this (only the purple logo, of course)


So thanks X-Ray A4T, this logo is cooool ! :D

Sooooo ?

No other testers ? All Linux lovers are in holidays ? ^^

Sourceforge is now online and ready to use. All downloads are there, and now that's our "download platform".

great job! but the calibration doesn't work properly. I think that the vectors are not set correctly, but I don't know...
maybe this can help you with wifi: http://www.andromnia...c.php?f=24&t=34
the emdebian works on my omnia and if I set the wifi settings in the wpa_supplicatn it works! (maybe it doesn't work, then you have to set eth0 to eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wifi.conf). But then it works for me...

Strange... for me calibration was perfect and precise.

Thanks man !

To muhlba91 : like soniczt3000, i don't have any touchscreen problem. Maybe bad calibration ? Thanks for the link, but tell me : does they have a virtual keyboard ?

Thanks to all omnibuntu users !

i'll test the callibration another time. maybe i've waited too long, before typing anything...
i think that they don't have any keyboard too until yet. but maybe some of the ubuntu/debian on screen keyboard may work. As far as I know there are some keyboards (kde and gnome, maybe lxde too -but I'm not so used with on screen keyboards -> I'm just guessing.. :angry: ), but I don't know whether they work or not. Maybe I've the time to test some in your omnibuntu. But I don't know it yet. (Is there anything how I can reconfigure the touchscreen without reinstalling?)
But I think, that wifi should work in the future, because then you can connect via ssh to omnibuntu.. :D

To muhlba91 : What do you mean by "reconfigure" ? re-calibrate it/play with config files ? or tweaking the driver ? for the first, no kernet edit needed. just an edit of rootfs (i do it with "sudo nautilus" ^^) and for the second, you need to re-build your own kernel.

I'm trying to re-create a Debien based (not Ubuntu based) root fs with X11, Lxde AND E11. Early alpha stage now, installing LXDE (150MB :D )
Then, i'll see for a virtual keyboard under lxde...

great! it would be nice if you make the alpha stage of debian/X11/lxde/etc. public. But I think that wifi should work soon, becuase it isn't so great to run it under VirtualBox and after configuring new parts copying the rootfs to the sdcard and testing the new things if they work on omnia too or not... so if you can make a ssh connection to the phone you can install new parts and testing them right now.  :angry:
i mean re-calibrate it! ;) sorry for my expression... i don't want to reinstall the whole omnibuntu another time. so it would be nice, if there is a file where the vectors are being stored that I can delete, or a command that open the calibration tool! :D hopefully you understand me now ;)

Don't delete anything, launch "ts_calibrate"  to re-calibrate screen. (the five cross game ^^)

I'm using Qemu on emdebian with versatile arm kernel/initrd to add packages (like Lxde, ts-lib,wpa_supplicant, bluetooth, on screen keyboard, etc...). If it works, of course, I'll release it.

I was wondering if we could get onboardto work.It is standard on Ubuntu as part of Python 2.6:
Attached File  onboard.png   14.79K   27 downloads

Also should we be looking at netbook remix or MID versions as the screen is too small for normal gnome layout?

I900 Omnia JCHH1 (African...should I flash to European like I did my I600?)
