ok guys here is my beta midori linux for the gateway aol box i finally got a few of them to play with !!

get it here http://linux-hacker.net/gwaol

post feedback here.
i will work with pegasus based ethrnet adapter if there is no internal ethernet adapter.
sorry no hpna .

when it starts X do the touch calibration (it does not store the vals yet so you have to do a calibrate at every boot)
if you need to recal drag across the top of the screen left to right and that will restart the calibration util.

if you have a router with dhcp just plug in and go if you need to setup the ip ect click on the netscape logo on the tool bar.

usb mice work have no tested a usb kb but the code is there.

Thanks!!!!

I downloaded...did a dd of the image to my cf card and popped it in and am now using it to type this message.

I am having the normal Netscrape problems, per usual. How difficult is it to modify the initialization scripts etc? I would like to make this more or lessa dumb terminal and run programs from a networked application server (so I could run Gnome and Galeon rather than netscape). That would also give me a networked area for storage.

This is pretty slick though. Thanks for sharing your work.

Are you working with beta 2 or 3? Also, what kinda room do you have on storing midori images?

ricko73
Depending on the beta version, I have opera running on beta 2. Now to get galeon or moz working shouldn't be too hard.
The gtk/glib stuff is already there (1.2). Right now I'm having a problem where the midori(3) build process rebuilds
everything, including the cross-compiler (way to much time) for every change I make. Anyway, the startup scripts are not too
hard to figure out, just look at the netscape package.

My goal for this thing is to run it as an X-terminal. I have a spare puter that I can use as an application server. That way you have storage space and can save preferences. I guess technically you could make a rw partition on the CF, but I don't know enough about the cramfs yet to know how to accomplish that and what the life of the CF will be with continual re-writes.

I finally got Slack8 (gave up on Red Hat--kept crashing my systems during install). Slack is typically a better/more stable distribution anyway.

I'll see how Midori beta 3 compiles on my main machine later on...

Is it possible for me to view and modify the information on the cramfs partitions on my server? (ie dd the gz file intended for the CF to a hard drive partition and view/modify the stuff from there?

Thanks

That pretty much sums up my goals as well. Its not that I want too much running on the GCT. I just need to get what I do
want on it. A good browser that will support the things I need and not crash....hmmmm, any out there...heeh
I'll see if I can setup an nfs mount on it also, shouldn't be too hard.

As for the cramfs, I think you can use packcramfs to mount the partition to a loopback device or something. I'll try
to look into it. Of course, you have to have packcramfs compiled....

Grrr...I can't get Midori to compile on my system. What distros are you using? I gave up trying to install RH 7x. Kept crashing on install. Slack 8 was pretty slick, but I'm having problems compiling Midori. Keeps saying something about EOF expected at end of tar or something close to that...very soon after it starts compiling. Any ideas/suggestions?

I'm using Midori beta 3, buiding under Mandrake 7.2; running a 2.4.7 kernel with patches to run a Reiser filesystem on a 3 x 80GB drive Raid 5 volume.

The only thing I had to fix was missing nroff -- I created a do-nothing shell file in /bin.

The .mlz files are really tar files, so I'd check to see if installing a newer/different tar helps. You might want to see if you can 'tar tvfz ...' all your distribution .mlz files. The tar I have under Mandrake is:

Here's my update...I got part of it to compile (Midori beta 3), but I get a few errors on the esound part. Error 1 and error 2. I changed my shell to bash1, redownloaded the source while running Linux instead of Windoze. I guess it makes a difference. I'll try it again but send the output to a file so I can capture the error messages.

Thanks for the help guys.

Ok. I managed to pull the 3rd and 4th partitions off the cf from this image. The 4th is pretty empty (just an empty /usr dir) while the 3rd has alot of the configuration files needed during init. (network settings and timezones etc) I changed the timezone to Central (bc that's where I am) re-packed it and sent it to the Cf. If anyone wants the proceedure I used I can type that out. Basically used packcramfs -x to remove the image of each partition then cramfsck to make that image readable.

Does anyone know the type of partition and whether or not this might be possible with the first two partititions?? I would like to use the stuff on those partitions and build my own system using tiny login and busybox (using the libs and X stuff from this Midori build--since I can't seem to get Midori to quite work right...I think I'm close though).

On a secondary note, I plugged in my new MS intellimouse usb into this jobby, booted up and it works great. Roller even functions correctly.

All the help is greatly appreciated in advance.

the first 2 partitions are duplicate root partitions so if one crashes you can boot off the other
havent tried it but you should be able to do a SHIFT B before the loading.... part and then type a
partition # 0,1 ..

i ended up installing rh7.1 and updating a bunch of rpm listed in the release notes
and finally got beta3 to work thats what i made the images with.

After like 5 installations, (none of them successful), I said the hell with Redhat. I had absolutely NO problem installing Slackare 8.0 though. I know I'm close on the compilation. I changed my shell to bash1 and got farther than I did with Bash2.

Do you have an image of hdx1 or 2 before Midori puts it on the CF? The other thing I could do I think, is to make a ramdisk, dump everything to that (dd the image you made over to the ramdisk) then read it from there.

chaeze-

I am here... back in action. I have been so swamped with the hundreds of projects I am doing... shheeeez. I also have been working to optimize my Starband connection... speed, stability, security. But now I am back to the GCT... (I also have IA-1, GCT-Allwell 3036N, AOL box, i-Opener... and getting a universal verison for all of them has been challenging). It seems Midori is the best bet for me to get the full functionality out of the GCT... Jailbait will require a major kernel configuration to do it right.

So here is where I am:
1) RH 6.2
2) Midori beta 3
3) 64 MB Flash

Midori compiles and installs.

Problems:
1) when I enabled a window manager (ice) the touchscreen stopped working. I will set the WM back to none and see if that helps tonight.
2) The X configuration in make webconfig gives errors when you try to apply changes.
3) With the options I have, a 32 MB card is too small.

Anyone got a "config" file for me to try? I will post mine tonight.

Good to see you back! I'm in the process of moving so I'm not going to be able to contribute much, but would be interested in any progress you make. I would love to get a very simple setup working so that I could get the Touchpad working as an Xterm, running the software off the server. I'm unable to get Midori to do much for me since I can't get RH to install (I've had no problems with Slack 8.0, 7.1 etc.) Redhat dumps out on me no matter if it is 5.2, 6.x or 7.x.

When Midori compiles (but before it packages everything up for the CF), is it possible to extract files from the "target" directory (I forget what it is called) I'm interested in the touch screen drivers, unless they are available in X as is. I know that Midori added some features to their software to make it work with the GCTP.

Thanks in advance for anything you can provide to help me along.

Progress...

1) got X working. It wasn't the window manager setting, it was xbutton. Set it to "no". From the config file:

"You don't want this turned on unless you actually have the button device. If it doesn't exist, loading it it may interfere with other devices, especially the MK712 touchscreen controller. "

2) The X configuration in make webconfig gives errors when you try to apply changes.

Still a problem. I edit the config file by hand anyway.

3) With the options I have, a 32 MB card is too small.

I guess I can load less or go and buy some more goodies... er, I mean more development hardware.

If anyone wants the config file I can post it somewhere or e-mail it. (It is kinda big to post here)

As a side project, I think I would like to make a few iso and floppy images (kickstart) to install a RH/Midori dev environment. Pop in the floppy and it will set up a system for you! Run a few scripts and it would install Midori etc... maybe an option to download all the necessary stuff from the Internet...


Ricko-

Good luck on the moving. I am not sure of the all the files (under midori-1.0.0-beta3/cache/build/) it uses for the touchsceen, but I think it includes the mk712.o kernel char drive (under midori-1.0.0-beta3/cache/build/linux/drivers/char ), mk712_drv.o file (under /midori-1.0.0-beta3/cache/build/X-4.0.3/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/mk712/), the xtouch driver (under midori-1.0.0-beta3/cache/build/xtouch-0.2), the entries in the XF86Config file, and the kernel itself. Also, the programs xcalibrate-0.1 and xkeyboard-0.2 (under midori-1.0.0-beta3/cache/build), are needed.

If you want, I could mail them to you (which may be of no use anyway) or post the CF image somewhere for anyone to use.

Next I have to get the D-Link usb network adapter to work. Anyone got it working under Midori?

I am still here... just been very busy. The new Jailbait release for the IA-1 (nice work rasmus and james!!) seems like a pretty good release. I am utilizing the info to continue with improving my version of Jailbait. So far, my version works on the GCT (no touchscreen), IA-1, and the 3036N) but I want it to support every feature of each (sound video, network, screen, etc).

I also got midori to work and compile for the GCT... except it is not ready for prime time yet. I want to elliminate the constant recalibrate after boot and have the power button make it sleep. I would like to get midori to work on everything and am trying to do that too. At some point I will pick one distro when it completely outshines the other.

I would be more than happy to cut you some images and send them to you.

Also, I have a few "Barbie" computers coming so I will try and set up another development machine. I want to create a kickstart floppy with RH CD and development CD so that people can do midori and jailbait development setup better/faster.

I got the xcalibrate to go away. I thought I posted this before, but I guess I hadn't. All you need to do is bootup, calibrate...make sure you have a good calibration, then using the webconfig feature, browse the Midori box. You'll have to check the midori documentation (I believe it is port 8080 or something like that). you don't have to change a thing to the setup, just click on the save deal and you'll have it. You can also make it a static ip that way.

I can't get Midori to compile on either of my machines (since I can't get Red Hat to install (I use Slack 8 with no problems). Hope that helps you some.

Happy Holidays,

I had no problem suspending when I hit the power button. The screen stayed on, but I could tell it was suspended because the keyboard and mouse stopped working until I hit the button again.

I fixed a bug in the busybox build script and got the screen to blank correctly. I don't think a patch will survive the posting process, but just change the last line of cache/build/busybox-0.47/build like so: (The "$ROOT" was missing.)

ml_transpose init.d/busybox $ROOT/usr/init.d/busybox 755

Doesn't anyone have any ideas how to get the light on the power button to turn orange on suspend. I liked how the AOL software did that.

I'm getting ready to jump into putting this image on my GTP. I've done a lot of reading, and have a few q's...

1) I read that someone found the "sleep" fix. What's the best way to implement this? Do I have to extract the image, then change and recompile?

2) Has anyone updated the image already with this fix incorporated?

I'm really somewhat new at this, so I'm sorry if the questions are basic. This weekend I'm planning to download Midori and put it on a RedHat 7.2 MP3 server I built up. I read on Midori's site that they have it working under 7.1 after replacing/upgrading several packages. I'm betting that, if I do the same to 7.2, it will work under that also.

Any pointers appreciated... :)

you can build(compile) midori beta3 on RedHat 7.2 as I did it. and webconfig seems working perfectly. if you bump with error while building image, just delete the beta3 directory and tar again. and dont forget to fix sleep mode as described on this thread

Does anyone know of a way to keep it from sleeping at all? I'm sure there's a BIOS setting but I'm not aware of anyone being able to access the BIOS so far.

I'm using my GCT in the kitchen has a home automation interface and reminder center. I don't mind if the screen blanks but I have not yet been able to come up with a way to wake it up to display an event or reminder pushed over the network.

1. Doug, I'm guessing you are just seeing the built in screen blanker. If that's the case the screen will jump back to life when you press the shift key, or about anything else. If the only way to turn it back on is to hit the power button, then it is really asleep.

If it is really asleep, you will have to find out what in your OS is putting it to sleep, because, unless I'm quite mistaken, the BIOS isn't set up to put the machine to sleep, and if it is, linux would still default to ignoring that. Fortunately the screen blanker is easy to deal with. There is a command, called setterm I think, that has options to redefine a lot of linux console features. I will bet it isn't installed on your touchpad though.

2. I'd like to announce that I've built a new Linux OS kit for the Touchpad. If anybody wants a look at it, send me some e-mail (touchpad@jmitchel.com). I just sorta dragged it together out of the original touchpad image, this Midori .20 dist, my mandrake 8.1 box, and (now) a healthy dose of public sources. It features:
- Easily updated kernel with GRUB bootloader
- Linux 2.4.18-pre7 with O(1)Scheduler, Preemptible kernel, and MK712 touchpad patches
- XFree 86 4.2
- Mozilla 0.9.7
- XMMS 1.2.6
- Sound
- Touch Screen in X
- ACPI Power Management
- USB Support for Pegasus and Kaleth(sp?) ethernet, keyboard, mouse, some flash ram readers, and some USB storage adapters.
- Mostly persistent, mostly safe config space
- OpenSSH clients
- Xscreensaver
- Some half-assed support for auto-mounting usb storage and launching dhcp as the USB devices are installed.

I think this kit is almost complete and almost perfect. I just wish that mozilla were a bit faster.

I would like to gague demand before I go looking for somewhere to post the image, and would apreciate e-mail because this isn't a forum I visit often.

I keep one cramfs filesystem for the whole software set, and a smaller ext2 filesystem for config. (The config FS is copied to a ramdisk on bootup, and the rsynced when the system is put to sleep or manually shut down.) It is even possible to do development directly on the system (I made a script to keep from making stupid mistakes), as the whole root filesystem can be copied into a ram-disk, updated, and mkcramfs'd back to flash.

The kernel is kept on the config filesystem, which makes a kernel update as easy as copying it over and updating /boot/grub/menu.lst

I should note a couple of other features I forgot:
* The modem works just fine
* PPP is supported (I am using my touch pad to post this)
* It SHOULD all fit on a 32 MB flash card.

I've gotten quite enough positive response to release my Linux kit. A couple of you have even offered to host copies. They will be contacted with a URL to fetch it from, and may announce the locations themselves.

I forgot, added, and removed some features:
* more-or-less complete perl 5.6
* kernel NFS client support
* xauth and xhost
* xscreensaver removed

Two Further Notes:
1. This kit is not really Midori based. Apart from touchscreen suport, all the important kernel patches are integrated. I snarfed a couple other packages, but for the most part, Midori seems to be a big PITA.
2. I'm not quite ready to release yet. I added a lot of bitmapped fonts, which has done wonders for performance on Mozilla, but now I need to pare things down to fit in 32MB.

I DID IT! Midori finally compiled on my machine. The problems I was having were not related to what I was building it on, but rather how I downloaded it. I had been taking it from the midori site directly, using http transfers (in linux, in windoze didn't matter. I always ended up with the files not being correct gzip errors). I found a Japan based ftp site that has ML 1 beta 3, grabbed that, did the webconfig and bam, I have something that I can transfer to my CF.

(I'm a little excited about this, and anyone who has _tried_ to build Midori knows why).

James, look forward to seeing your release.

the ftp site is ftp.kddlabs.co.jp

go into the /10/Linux/packages/midori directory and Midori 1 beta 3 is there

The apci works (tap the power button and it goes into snooze, tap again and it wakes up, hold it in and it goes off). I did not compile the Netscape stuff bc I intend to use it as an Xterminal eventually (then just run the apps on my server--Athlon 850). So far I am very happy.

It did take 2 hours to build on even this fast of a computer. I was surprised it took so long (considering the end product fits on a 32 (or in my case even smaller) cf.

My build system is running Slackware 8.0 with the latest updates on the slackware site (I think gcc3.02 and a few others) There is even an X-keyboard app. By default I didn't have a window manager start up. I need to figure out how to hack the scripts to enable xhost+(my server) and to have it start with X -query...

SO after MONTHS of pulling the few remaining hairs out, I'm finally making progress.

Good luck

Ricko-
Good job on your success. I took me several runarounds to get b3 to compile as opposed to b2. I kept
having problems with rh7.2, so I had to dual boot down to rh6 :( The cross-compiler takes the longest
to compile. Your next compile should go faster.

I thought about the x-terminal idea too, but since I have 2 GCT's and a webplayer, I think the load on the
server would be painfull (PIII450Mhz). You should be able to look at the build scripts to change the
startup method for X. Look in cache/build/X/init.d/x, change the X startup options. Then touch the
.precious file in the package directory so your change doesn't get clobbered.

I found a link (see below) that includes additional packages for Midori. I haven't tried them, so I don't know if they will work or not. Any one else out there have Midori packages to share? I did find another place that had RealPlayer plugin for Netscape, but the link was no good.

PS: Yes, I could create my own, but I'm too lazy for that ;-

Please keep us informed of status if possible.

Thanks,
Pigseye

Could some one post a working config file. I got Midori to compile and was able to flash the image. Tried to boot it, looks like it's booting and then I see some messages about needing "x" and then it just hangs. I double check the X package to see if there's anything unusual, but it looks fine. I recompiled with different options, with and without starting X automatically...etc, but still no go. So could some one with a good config post it or upload it somewhere.
BTW, I'm using beta 3.
Thanks

Hey, I saw AOL has a page where you can download the Transmeta version as well as the AOL package (each tarball is over 200MB). If you have trouble downloading all of the packages from Transmeta, then maybe you get get every thing from:

http://opensource.aol.com

I haven't tried it, or looked at their tarball, but maybe that's a good way to get all of their tweaks to work on a clean system.

Hey ninja, I just posted this to the midori discussion group and I think it will help you out. Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for the help Ben, but I think that I have a different problem then as described in the forum that you've posted.
I think there are some misconfigurations in my config file, it's probably something simple but I haven't been able to isolate the problem. So if anyone has a good config file, please post it somewhere or email it to me at:
my_ninja@hotmail.com

Thanks

Hey ninja, did you try the ldd command? What you have described is how my system was reacting when I started having this problem. You can try in the quickinit package to change the variable SPAWN_SHELL from '2 3' to '0 1 2 3'. This should get you a command prompt after booting. You may have to hit enter once or twice to get to it. Then you could try to start X from the command prompt and see what happens.

Time to ask again...

Is anyone hosting the 'new and improved' image for download? Or, can someone send their config file to me so I could make my own? Many thanks. (I'll post my email addy after someone offers.)
