Ok now I might need some help.

I have debian-lenny currently running in my guruplug plus 8G sd card. My intention is to have my mimo 720-s running with kde desktop.

Rabeeh suggested to do the following.

---

1. Patch kernel 2.6.31 with displaylink support
2. Patch kernel 2.6.31 with ei touch screen support (attached e2itouch.diff)
3. Build kernel with attached .config
4. Use attached xorg.conf that uses evtouch AND disables xorg mouse support (otherwise all sort of artifacts on clicks will happen).
5. Use calibrate application in order to perform the touch screen calibration. Cut and paste the results and place them in your xorg.conf.

---

Im pretty new to linux so dont wonder if I have some dum questions.

Is suggestion 1. equavalent to download http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html#download xf86-input-evtouch-0.8.8.tar.bz2 and installing it? using the following commands;

2. I have no idea how to do this.

3. I have no idea how to do this.

4. copy xorg.conf into /etc/X11

5. I'll try calibrate if I get kde running

now if I type startkde through my jtag module it gives this

Step by step instructions are highly appreciated. 

Hello!

This is what I did with my guruplug server plus.

I copied the lenny into 8Gig sdcard and booted from there. Next thing was to try out kde desktop.


It runs ok for while, but suddenly it gives this error message
" Error writing to output file - write (28 No space left on device) "

and the installation will not continue. I check df -h, and it says tmpfs folder is 100% in use. Installation propably uses this folder for something? before the installation it was 0%.


How to solve this? anyone?

thanks!

The error messages came when I tried to install the applications with my MMC as root 8 G drive. I followed these instructions:
http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1642.msg10489#msg10489

1) My guruplug server plus recognizes the microSD as /dev/sdb, prepare microSD as:
  #fdisk /dev/sdb
   press "o"  / create a new partition table
   press "n"  / create a new partition
   press "p"  / it's a primary partition
   press "1"  / partition #1
   press enter / default first cylinder
   press enter / default last cylinder
   press "a"  / set the boot flag
   press "1" / ... for partition #1
   press "w" / save changes
   
#mkfs -t  ext3 /dev/sdb1
#mkdir /mnt/sdcard
#mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdcard

2) copy files of Guruplug into microSD as:
#cp -axv / /mnt/sdcard
#cp -av /dev /mnt/sdcard
 By about two steps, the bootable microSD is available

3)  The next is how to boot the microSD,  do
#ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8,  0 2009-08-08 16:48 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 16 2009-08-08 16:48 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 17 2009-08-08 16:48 /dev/sdb1
the major and minor device numbers for ‘/dev/sdb1′ which I put the rootfs on, are 8 and 17 respectively.
That number needs to be converted to hex, for entry in Uboot -- 8,17 in decimal converts to 8,11 in Hex,
for entry in Uboot this will be entered as ’0811′.

4) Reboot the GuruPlug and this time hit any key before the system boots into Debian. Once at the Marvell prompt type:
Marvell>> nand read.e 0x6400000 0x100000 0x400000
Marvell>> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=0811 rootdelay=10
Marvell>> bootm 0x6400000

It seems application installs trough my MMC dont work. Anyone any ideas why?

This is how I got the the gui and vnc working. I installed these first in my NAND and then copied to my uSD.

aptitude install xfce4
aptitude install vnc-server
vncserver :0

Thats it, open your remote software and contact your plug IP.

Hi!

I tried to install GUI for my guruplud so that I can acces it via VNC or something similiar. My guruplug shipped with debian lenny as default OS. I tried aptitude install kde-desktop, didnt work, gave some errors. I thought mayby the kde is too heavy for this. Then I tried aptitude install xfce4. The installation looked promising for while, but then came Kernel panic in the middle of installation (or mayby in the program startup?). Im not sure what the message means below.

My intentions are to install GUI for the OS and then remotely use guruplug desktop. Step by step instructions anywhere?

Anyone succes with GUI?

Great I'll wait for your test results then.

Thats what I did. Im not using hub. And only one DOK at a time. I tried with winXP and ubuntu. In ubuntu with several different usb sticks, one at a time.

When are u getting your guruplug? just want to know when u have possibilities to test it.

Ok this is what I did now. I typed usb reset after plugging memorystick into guruplug. I switched to the other port and typed usb reset again. Below are the results. I even unplugged my mmc and it still gave the same message. Then I tried 2 different usb memorysticks, same message again.

Hi thanks for the reply!

Im using Kingston Datatraveler 8 GB. In the guruplug I can see it in media/usb1.

Hello!

Thank you for rooster doing all this hard work, I really appreciate it!!!

I have several questions though, mayby you could be kind enough to answer.

I recently bought guruplug server plus. Does esia support this? http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-32-guruplug-server-plus.aspx

I have latest Ubuntu as my desktop OS (10.04). I have Putty installed. This is what I have done.

1. Installed esia, putty, bought 2 Gig microSD ( formatted it to be ext2), untarred ubuntu and lenny to my usb drive
2. Followed your instructions, got my device to show up on esia (mac address, distros), so far so good
3. First issue was that I couldnt see my mmc in esia, but I can see it in the plug (through putty) ( I followed these instructions when formatted, http://www.ehow.com/how_1000631_hard-drive-linux.html)
4. Then I tried to install Ubuntu904 into the plug (nand, since mmc would not show up), I did everyhting like mentioned in instructions, but it gave the following message:
"a valid usb device on the sheevaplug was not found"

my usb drive is formatted as fat32. So it seems I have done everything like mentioned in your instructions. Is there something I have missed, or is that this plug is not supported or what? me newbie (dont understand) pls help

forgot to mention esia version is 2.0.5

Thank you anyways!
