5) Ah, I see... I forgot to copy from /lib/firmware, I only copied the kernel modules. Thanks.

3) Are you sure you did it correctly..? From my previous experience with Ubuntu (which is A LOT, because I use it daily) DKMS builds kernel modules, which are put in /lib/modules of the kernel. When a driver is updated or added, it needs to update the modules as well in order to use em. The difference is that on PCs, you have multiple outputs, often some on the MB and some on the graphics card. Here it's embedded. We need to make the Xserver use the graphics driver instead of doing like normal.

4) I think Kubuntu resets the clock. Kubuntu is originally made for desktops, which use a motherboard battery for keeping track of the clock. It could happen that Kubuntu doesn't know how to interpret the clock on OMAP boards.

My N900 has fulfilled my dreams for it. :')
I wish they made one with an OMAP 4430 on board and 1Gb RAM...

Btw, does anyone know how to interpret the names of the firmware files? I want to know if there are any goodies there.
Oh, nvm. Just google them. They're all well known, it seems.
I loaded the BT driver, the cameras and the wireless. What more do you need? (Apart from calling. Bleh...)

Aww man... I can only connect to local computers, and not the internetz... Imma have to work on that. And I also suggest turning off the screensaver. It f*cks up everything and makes you believe your device turned off...
I am surprised that the device doesn't overheat, though.
My device boots directly to Kubuntu, as well. So that's awesome... xD

But for some reason, I can't chroot into Kubuntu from Maemo. Is it something about the internals of the executables or what?
This is the error:
Bash/Dash works fine inside the system. Is this about hardfp?

I should've put a warning that this post would be extended a lot...

Any experience with ofono yet? Can you at least receive calls and SMS? If yes, I'm willing to get more involved in testing.

hi guys. Is there some more detailed guide for 11.10 than on Kubuntu wiki? I will be happy for it.

Me too, if you can receive and make calls and receive and make SMS, I'll test it and help improve fulltime in production environment...

Is it possible to install it into eMMC?

MeeGo can be installed on eMMC (tried myself) so nothing prevents to do the same with kubuntu/ubuntu

Thanks for trying but more work appears necessary:

the very page you mentioned (https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ARM/n900) says audio is broken:

All is not lost, however - if someone will release a 5inch (or 7inch)
tablet (_with_hw_keyboard!) with GSM call hardware, and proper USB ports,
we could install (_not!chroot) this kubuntu into it and begin to
headstone the n900 with the dignity the n900 magnificence deserves.

I've written a script, see above.
MaxOS, can you add the ofono status and information about the script to the first post, please?

Again, if you have any problems with this script, please report.

Sorry, I'm out of town and having very limited GPRS traffic, so no more testing by me yet. I'm finishing the accelBlend alpha.
But you have almost fully-automatic installation, all you have to do is just wait for an hour or two and test what you want

BTW, what software can receive SMS with Ofono?

I can even write scripts for whiptail for receiving and sending SMS and storing the data and the same for calls, IF ofono works and you can indeed access its API...

Used those for a year on HTC Universal, which had pure Debian running, without Ofono, but it had a whiptail frontend for calling and SMSing and worked well.

I just need to know if the N900's modem is working, and you can send and recieve and SMS, and make and receive a call...

I think the SMS functionality has been confirmed as working before, so that would not be a prob, the phonecall part is what's more important though...

The whiptail scripts would be just the base, I'm sure if the basic phone functionality is working, you'd have a proper Qt frontend programmed by someone soon...
