| Feel free to try out our latest unstable development snapshot of the '''MeeGo Plasma Contour''' image.
| |
| This Image is a adaption of the public '''meego-tablet-ia32-pinetrail''' variant and it is bootable on x86 based devices like '''WeTab''', '''ExoPC''' or the '''Idea Pad'''. Login Data: User meego passwd meego; User root passwd meego

| == Deploying a MeeGo Plasma Countour ISO Image to a Flashdrive ==
| |
| | |
| After you have downloaded the ISO image its a good idea to validate the image against transmission errors.
| |
| An SHA1 checksum file should be available for every image. You can do this by comparing the hash on equality between image and related checksum file via following command:
| |
| | |
| user@host# '''sha1sum ''<image file>'''''
| |
| | |
| In case of an divergent output, please download the image one more time and check again.
| |
| After that feel free to deploy the image to an '''not mounted''' USB flashdrive. In the following example we use the
| |
| tool 'dd' for this:
| |
| | |
| root@host# '''dd if=''<image file>'' of=/dev/''<USB flashdrive>'' bs=1M'''
| |
| | |
| '''Please note, the usage of this tool is potential dangerous! In case of an mistaken output device, all data on it will be unrecoverable lost'''.
| |
| | |
| '''To get the correct output device for the this tool, please follow the described steps below:'''
| |
| | |
| ;1. Remove all mobile flashdrives from your host system.
| |
| ;2. Call the command below and note the output.
| |
| user@host# '''cat /proc/partitions'''
| |
| | |
| major minor #blocks name
| |
| 8 0 3000000 sda
| |
| 8 1 2999998 sda1
| |
| | |
| ;3. Plug the Flashdrive for deploying into the host system.
| |
| ;4. Call the following command and note the output again.
| |
| user@host# '''cat /proc/partitions'''
| |
| | |
| major minor #blocks name
| |
| 8 0 30000000 sda
| |
| 8 1 29999998 sda1
| |
| 8 16 3872256 '''sdb'''
| |
| 8 17 594944 sdb1
| |
| ;5. In this example the correct dd parameter is '''sdb''' in the position of '''<USB flashdrive>'''.

| == Deploying a MeeGo Plasma Countour ISO Image to VirtualBox ==
| |
| | |
| Before you can starte the image via '''VirtualBox''', please configure the virtual device
| |
| like below.

| '''Please note, only live image since ''2011-07-20-10-50-meego-plasma-contour-in-progress-USB-live.iso''
| |
| ''' are runable via VirtualBox'''.
| |
| | |
| The scope of contour development is for usage on tablet devices.
| |
| By this reason you have to activate the mouse cursor by your self.
| |
| The following steps explains how make a mouse cursor available
| |
| | |
| ;1. The boot has finished
| |
| ;2. Switch to plain teminal console (tty1) by pressing "right strg" + "f1"
| |
| ;3. Login as user root (passwd meego)
| |
| ;4. Change to system runlevel 3 (text mode) by
| |
| root@meego# '''init 3'''
| |
| ;5. Switching back to tty1 by pressing "right strg" + "f1" again
| |
| ;6. Edit file
| |
| root@meego# '''nano /etc/sysconfig/uxlaunch'''
| |
| Remove or comment (#) following line
| |
| xopts=-nocurser
| |
| Save the file via "left strg" + "o" an close by "left strg" + "x"
| |
| ;7. Change back to system runlevel 5 (graphic mode) by
| |
| root@meego# '''init 5'''
| |
| | |
| Please note, if you like to install our live image to an VirtualBox hard drive,
| |
| you have to remove the live image form the virtual CD/DVD-ROM after installation.
| |
| This will be done after '''Power off the machine''' via VirtualBox OSE Manager.

| 1. Plug the flashdrive to the WeTab.
| |
| | |
| 2. Get the WeTab running.
| |
| | |
| 3. Press the power (top left underside) + softtouch (top left upperside) button till reboot.
