Introduction


I bring to your attention the translation of this installation guide for Ubuntu Jaunty on the Nokia N800 / N810.
What works:

Details under the cut.

What does not work:

The installation process will require the following:

Step One: Preparing a Memory Card


To do this, perform the following in the terminal as root (I use 4GB mmc with 356mb fat16 partition and 3.6gb for linux83 - our root partition)

umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk0
356,6
,,L
,,
,,


Step Two: Formatting Partitions


umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2

Step Three: Transition to a Newly Installed System


Create a directory where we will install the system:
')
mkdir -p /mnt/jaunty

Next, download the bootstrap-script.tar.gz script , remove the rm -f /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/jaunty symlink, and unpack our script into /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts as root.

Next, we need to add md5sum to our / bin directory for debootstrap to work properly. Download md5sum and unpack it in / bin as root.

Next, we mount our ubuntu partition in / mnt / jaunty and start the installation (this can take a long time):

insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/`uname -r`/mbcache.ko
insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ext2.ko
insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/`uname -r`/jbd.ko
insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ext3.ko
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/jaunty -o noatime
debootstrap --include="language-pack-en,language-pack-en-base,dmsetup,cryptsetup,hashalot,nano,sudo" --components=main,multiverse,universe,restricted --verbose --arch=armel jaunty /mnt/jaunty ports.ubuntu.com /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/jaunty

And finally, chroot to the installed system and create console devices:

mount /proc /mnt/jaunty/proc
mount /sys /mnt/jaunty/sys
chroot /mnt/jaunty
cd /dev; /sbin/MAKEDEV fb0 fb1 fb2 fb3 fb4 fb5 fb6 fb7
exit

Step Four: Preparing the Base System for Booting


We mount the necessary directories:

mount /dev /mnt/jaunty/dev
mount /dev/pts /mnt/jaunty/dev/pts
mount /tmp /mnt/jaunty/tmp
chroot /mnt/jaunty
export LC_ALL=C

Add the root password:

passwd root

Set up the repository by changing the /etc/apt/sorces.lst file:

#Ubuntu jaunty alpha
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com jaunty main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com jaunty main restricted universe multiverse

#Mer alpha
deb http://repository.mer.tspre.org/ alpha contrib main non-free
deb-src http://repository.mer.tspre.org/ alpha contrib main non-free

#Deblet sid
deb http://packages.tspre.org/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packages.tspre.org/ sid main contrib non-free

#Ubuntu N8x0
deb http://www.bman.maemobox.org/repository alpha contrib main non-free
deb-src http://www.bman.maemobox.org/repository alpha contrib main non-free

Next, configure apt-get:

touch /etc/apt/preferences

Add the following to / etc / apt / preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release a=jaunty
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=alpha
Pin-Priority: 340

Package: *
Pin: release a=sid
Pin-Priority: 300

Install the base system:

wget http://packages.tspre.org/repo.key
apt-key add repo.key
apt-get update
apt-get -t alpha install cx3110x-module cx3110x-umac-module ke-recv-l10n-public kernel-diablo-modules-fbcon kernel-diablo mce-dummy nokia-n8x0-firmware nokia-tablets-pointercal omap-fb-console omap-fb-tools usbnet-emergency-telnetd utelnetd xresponse-visualize tablet-wireless xserver-xorg-video-omapfb synaptic aptitude console-tools
apt-get install ubuntu-rescue-menu ubuntu-omap-fb-splash nit-bootmenu-compat
apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-tslib=0.0.5-1mer7
apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-input-synaptics


Install the boottime.kmap.gz file for the keyboard:

cp /path/to/boottime.kmap.gz /mnt/jaunty/etc/

Next, edit a number of files:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

/etc/rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
/sbin/fb_update_mode auto
exit 0

/ etc / fstab

rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mtdblock4 /mnt/rootfs jffs2 defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1 vfat defaults 0 0

/ etc / X11 / Xwrapper.config

# Xwrapper.config (Debian X Window System server wrapper configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by the post-installation script of the x11-common
# package using values from the debconf database.
#
# See the Xwrapper.config(5) manual page for more information.
#
# This file is automatically updated on upgrades of the x11-common package
# *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of that package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command as root:
# dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
allowed_users=anybody
nice_value=-1

In the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh file, HWCLOCKPARS= change to HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa" and add this to / etc / default / rcS :

echo 'HWCLOCKPARS=--directisa' >> /etc/default/rcS

Reduce load time:

apt-get install insserv
echo 'CONCURRENCY=shell' >> /etc/default/rcS

If you are not interested in installing ubuntu-desktop, then you can do the following and go directly to step 7.

exit
exit
umount /mnt/jaunty/dev/pts
umount /mnt/jaunty/dev
umount /mnt/jaunty/proc
umount /mnt/jaunty/sys
umount /mnt/jaunty/tmp
fuser -m /mnt/jaunty -k
umount /mnt/jaunty

Step Five: Install ubuntu-desktop


Do the following in a terminal, it may take several hours:

apt-get install ubuntu-desktop matchbox-keyboard
apt-get clean

Correct the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-costom file for an automatic login:

[daemon]
# Automatic login, if true the first attached screen will automatically logged
# in as user as set with AutomaticLogin key.
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=user

Step Six: Activate the paging file


Perform the following in the terminal:

mkswap /dev/mmcblk1p3

Add the following line to / etc / fstab :

/dev/mmcblk1p3 swap swap defaults 0 0

Step Seven: Creating the boot menu



Create the file /etc/bootmenu.d/ubuntu.item and add the following (in the case of the Ubuntu section in / dev / mmcblk0p2):

ITEM_NAME="Ubuntu on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_ID="Ubuntu on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"

And run the following command in the terminal:

refresh_bootmenu.d

That's it, now you have installed Ubuntu Jaunty!
