thanks for the advanced warning
- I successfully installed Obuntu on my M92!! I really like it - big thanks to Seaniko; please keep up the good work!!
I tried to install Obuntu as "hickathmoc" described in post #149, but it didn't work at all...
maybe he used the old files???
i used those from 17-08-2013. And I just put those two files on my SD-Card:
- OBUNTU.update-20130717.tar.gz (I think 20130'7'17 is a typo, it should be 20130'8'17)
- obuntu_install_20130817.oar
anyway,
with obuntu_install_20130817.oar started from my SD-Card, i could successfully install the 'Obuntu-Bootloader', from which i could install Obuntu on start-up. All I did was:
1. copied obuntu_install_20130817.oar + OBUNTU.update-20130717.tar.gz
to my SD-Card.
2. clicked on the obuntu_install_20130817.oar, continued with OK to install.
3. then, I shutted down the device (completely)
4. then, I was pressing the "joystick -OK button" and the "power button" at the same time until it showed me “software update request detected, Checking updates” at the bottom of the screen.
5. Obuntu-Bootloader started and i continued with 2nd option: 'Update Obuntu' -
The installation took almost 1 hour (even with my 'class 10' SD) and it pretty much looked like as the screen has frozen up (no sign of life).
Now every time I want to boot Obuntu I have to do the same procedure as written in number 4.
anyway,
the installer partitioned my 4096 MB internal memory.
Afterwards I found the following partitions on my M92:
disk-0; 2457.6MB (with Obuntu on it, filling ~2200MB)
disk-1; 33.6 MB (onyx_reader files)
disk-2; 450.9 MB(onyx_reader files)
disk-3; 1024.0MB (internal storage left on M92)
+ my 16GB SD-card; from which I could delete the 2 Obuntu install files.
Thanks to the programmer for implementing this sweet OS on M92 !!!
Please don't abandon the project - keep it up alive.
greetings,
eb00ker
P.S. Could someone tell me from where I could get some useful apps ?
