Installing Ubuntu Jaunty on the Nokia N800 / N810

Introduction

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

What works:

Dsme
Hal (partial)
Screen diming
Xserver-xorg
Simple Compiz Effects
Power management
Usbnet emergency talend
Powersave
Bluetooth
Right click
Wireless network
keymapping (hardware keys and virtual keyboard)

Details under the cut.

What does not work:

Usplash (does not start, maybe our kernel does not support it?)
Sound (closed source)

The installation process will require the following:

easyroot / rootsh / becomeroot
debootstrap
basic command line knowledge
e2fsprogs
2-4GB mmc card - 4 GB + if you plan to install ubuntu-desktop.
Bootmenu form deblet
binutils

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

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!
