Seeing that the only device he has, I'm assuming he means Internal MMC (I don't see anywhere in the thread where it specifies which MMC requires this much, just that Ubuntu Jaunty needs it). Aside from the 2GB Internal that I cannot change on my N810, I do have a 8GB external card installed. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
4GB isn't minimum, KDE or even GNOME are installable to 2Gb card, if you make a big ext3 partition (min 1.8Gb)

Okay, so if I did that, what would the particular command be for formatting that size of partition? And after swap, how much memory would that leave me?

"Next, we will copy over a bootstrap script witch will allow us to properly bootstrap Ubuntu Jaunty. Download the bootstrap-script.tar.gz file, remove a symlink using rm -f /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/jaunty, and extract your new script to your /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts directory as root."

Could you please make this step a little more comprehensive? I.E. Explaining exactly what you mean by this and how a person would do it?

I nearly bricked my N810 completely (yay for the "triple-boot[using the internal MMC as a secondary environment instead of flash, but keeping the flash untouched so I wont end up with a bootloop]" I set up), so when I finish this install, I may write up a revision for those who want to use this with N810, via dual-booting.

-Final Edit: Nevermind, I'm just giving up on trying to put Ubuntu onto my N810. I had to do a full reflash because my N810 would automatically start up as soon as I put the battery in, and would freeze on the "Nokia" screen until I pulled the battery out. Id rather not risk any further problems

Hey, guys!
I've once installed a gnome environment - I couldn't get swap and wifi working, anyway.
But was anyone of you able to get sound working?

I'll look into making a port of Ubuntu karmic once i get my N900

at the moment, i don't have any practical way of creating new rootstrap images of ubuntu - and trying to bootstrap an arm system on an i686 machine is a huge pain in the a** - even with an emulated arm environment with scratchbox and qemu

but until then, i'd suggest that you use the first post of this thread as a reference to get you started

update:

here's the command necessary for bootstraping ubuntu karmic (where as $ROOT is the location of your mounted rootfs partition - e.g: /mnt/karmic)

Code:
debootstrap --include="language-pack-en,language-pack-en-base,dmsetup,cryptsetup,hashalot,nano,sudo" --components=main,multiverse,universe,restricted --verbose --arch=armel karmic $ROOT http://ports.ubuntu.com/ /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/karmic

So I'm half way through the tutorial. I issued "apt-get update" and found out...
Code:

  Could not resolve 'www.bman.maemobox.org'
Anyone knows what's going on?

[Edit]

I did a lookup on the domain maemobox.org and it looks like a guy named Petr Kozir from Russia bought the domain October 9th.

... so... yikes. Anyone know what we could do?

the instructions on this thread are obsolete.

you can check out the ubuntu-n8x0 thread for a prebuilt image

just make shure you replace

Code:
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
with

Code:
deb http://b-man.xceleo.org/repo/ubuntu-n8x0 alpha contrib main non-free
deb-src http://www.bman.maemobox.org/repository alpha contrib main non-free
in /etc/apt/sources.list.

btw, this project is in a dormant state and i haven't updated the image in a long time - so don't be surprised if you encounter package dependency issues :P
