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