| carmelo42 | hello everybody | 17:40 |
|---|---|---|
| carmelo42 | I have a question | 17:40 |
| carmelo42 | I have an Aigo MID but it's an SFR version french mobile operator | 17:40 |
| carmelo42 | the device can boot on every CD via an usb cd reader | 17:40 |
| carmelo42 | but it can't boot on usb key ... | 17:41 |
| carmelo42 | it's an SFR operator limitation | 17:41 |
| carmelo42 | so .. I want to burn the ubuntu mid .img file on a cd ... but I don't know how ... | 17:41 |
| carmelo42 | have you any idea ? | 17:41 |
| ian_brasil | in virtual box it is possible to set a shared folder between guest and host ..is this possible with kvm? | 19:11 |
| lool | carmelo42: Hey | 19:24 |
| carmelo42 | hey | 19:24 |
| lool | carmelo42: I had the same issue | 19:24 |
| carmelo42 | have you found something ? | 19:24 |
| lool | carmelo42: I think the BIOS checks for a particular magic | 19:24 |
| lool | carmelo42: What you can do is use the recovery USB key as a base, and then replace the files on that image | 19:25 |
| carmelo42 | ok | 19:25 |
| lool | carmelo42: Start by making a copy of the USB key (with dd for instance) | 19:25 |
| carmelo42 | i have done this | 19:25 |
| lool | Write it to a new key | 19:25 |
| carmelo42 | ok | 19:25 |
| lool | Then replace syslinux.cfg, vmlinuz and the like with what's in the ubuntu .img | 19:26 |
| lool | Don't touch ldlinux.sys | 19:26 |
| lool | That should hopefully work | 19:26 |
| carmelo42 | ok thanks you i will try that | 19:26 |
| lool | I've personally successfully changed syslinux.cfg, so I think it's possible to do this | 19:26 |
| carmelo42 | you have the same MID ? | 19:26 |
| lool | Yes, I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have time to finish the reverse engineering of the BIOS checks | 19:26 |
| lool | I think it's in ldlinux.sys, but it could be in the vfat | 19:27 |
| carmelo42 | ok | 19:27 |
| lool | I already checked whether it was just the syslinux version, but it's not | 19:27 |
| carmelo42 | are you french ? | 19:27 |
| lool | I am | 19:27 |
| carmelo42 | moi aussi :) | 19:27 |
| carmelo42 | ça sera plus simple :) | 19:27 |
| lool | But we're on an English chan ;) | 19:27 |
| carmelo42 | ok sorry ;) | 19:27 |
| lool | I actually had an English version of the Aigo MID, but it was stolen | 19:28 |
| lool | carmelo42: Happy to hear if the suggestions work for you, either here or on the mailing list | 19:28 |
| ian_brasil | maybe kvm cannot do shared folders and you need to set up a bridge and use scp to move files onto the guest | 19:43 |
| lool | ian_brasil: I think so | 20:39 |
| ian_brasil | Virtual Box has shared folders and it is cool | 20:41 |
| ian_brasil | and it raises the bar a lot for new developers to ubuntu mobile in that you need to set up a bridge in order to develop | 20:56 |
| ian_brasil | i will explain Virtual Box, KVM and setting up from scratch in the book | 20:59 |
| rzr | qemu/kvm has -smb option | 21:15 |
| ian_brasil | just tried to install mid in a virtual machine and i got an language error code 141..is this known about? | 21:41 |
| ian_brasil | this is on the beta lpia mid | 21:47 |
| ian_brasil | rzr: this is windows only though right..or you need samba | 21:52 |
| rzr | or any plateform that support smb protocol | 21:52 |
| ian_brasil | it is easier to just use scp i think | 22:10 |
