Hey DT_Fan,
Until I figure out things like auto login to tty1 and for the user I hesitate to offer this image. Still lots to do for usability sake. How to's to this point are easy though. As I am on a 1gb flash drive using a network mirror is not as much of a concern.
Insert Jaunty alternate iso in to external disk drive and boot the dt to it.
Select english and press F4 for modes.
Select text install and press enter.
Set up partition as one large partition, I used ext4 and opted for noatime within mounting options
Installed base system. Reboot.
At this point I manually installed wicd 1.6.1. As it has a curses interface it is perfect for getting internet up on a minimal install. Wicd needed newer python support and pyton urwid packages. Ubuntu offers both in the karmic repo and they installed fine on jaunty. I manually transferred the packages in on a cf card and issued a "sudo dpkg -i package.deb" to install them. Many things will be broken after issuing command to install wicd. Fix deps with;
The repair process sometimes removes wicd in order to install more deps. If apt removes it and forgets to put it back in place simply install it again. sudo dpkg -i wicd_1.6-1____.deb
Ok now you have a minimal ubuntu jaunty install with working internet (as long as you are using a supported external usb wifi nic.) Sudo apt-get clean should get you around 382 and some change for disk usage.
Now to get a gui.
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-geode
will bring in most of x.
will give us something we can start.
add
deb
http://packages.enlightenment.org/ubuntu jaunty main extras
and
Will get you a lightweight window manager.
Bluetooth,
www.blueman-project.org is the site you need. Since they are a ppa we need to tell apt its ok to install from there by including a key.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x947c4f7371932c794b153f0f6b15ab91951dc1e2
Should import their key. I had to type this out manually looking at the status bar of my browser. Hopefully this works for you.
Next add the apt source with
and add:
deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Blueman is laden with deps. More so gnome deps. Eww. Its funny but half the packages blueman wanted to install get lost down the road so let it grab the 100 megs or so that it wants. I had to install three times before Ii had one that worked. On the last one I put build-essential in as well.
When blueman did install it took out wicd in the process. Network manager could not connect to any networks so ....
it was either nm or network-manager from memory.
and repeat wicd install steps.
I also installed the solitaire game and some e modules:
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install elitaire emodule-cpu emodule-mem emodule-wlan
From here it will be easy to customize system to your liking. Currently audacious music player is well supported and documented under bluez wiki for playing music to bluetooth devices. I suggest installing "without recommends".
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install --without-recommends audacious
This will save lots of space.
Also sudo aptitude install gigolo xtightvncviewer quicksynergy ganyremote rdesktop
are a few others I am playing with.
Make suree to apt-get clean now and again. Also installing localepurge helped out too for saving space.
Buttons
You will need to sudo apt-cache search pci
and
sudo apt-cache search acpi
I am not sure which of these are or are not needed
libpci pciutils discover-data acpi acpi-support
but I installed them all and then some.
find the line that has the default boot command and add this to the end:
Without doing so acpi never loads and we will never get things like working buttons or battery meters.
I followed my own tutorial on making a .Xmodmap file in the lxde1.2 thread. The part I am stuck on is making this stick on boot. For now I open xterm after boot and type:
only after making the /home/webdt/.Xmodmap file and associating the correct permissions.
Now one can go in to the input settings within e17 and associate key bindings to button presses.
Throughout these instructions you may have to repair apt with the apt-get -f install command. Most of this is from memory and I am in hopes that it is accurate enough to follow for instructions. For bluemaho you are on your own. I am not sure it is working right on mine as of yet. Please let me know if I missed anything or left anything out.
Hope this helps!
