Re: [REQUEST] moblin

Sorry to double post but..

I was getting the same error as illusionalsagacity in post #104: and my .mozconfig is the same as the one he posted.
But i got it too to continue by removing "-Werror" in configure.ac, i just manually git cloned it. (That prevents the warnings being treated as errors)

Anyway later on it it halted on

Should I try rpath or should it be looking  in /usr/lib for libxul.so?

What fixed this for me was to build and install the latest mozilla-headless from alex_anthony's git repo. So in your moblin-git directory, cd to mozilla-headless and try building that again.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

Thanks again illusionalsagacity.

When I start moblin all the menu item insides(where the stuff/options should be) is grey?

This has been like this since the first time I started moblin on arch, but it was normal when i used the live moblin cd(the live moblin cd runs extremely slow but shows everything up nicely)

Here are some screenshots if you want:

So myzone, status, people, media, pasteboard and applications dont work.
zones, battery, sound and networks work.

Anyone know what is causing this?

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

There's an issue with clutter or nbtk displaying the content, I have the same problem. No idea how to fix it at the moment unfortunately.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

The md5sum of "mozconfig" in PKGBUILD for mozilla-headless isn't the right one. It is... I cannot remember. It is not the right one.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

You are correct ChemBro, here are the ones you should use in PKGBUILD for mozilla-headless.

md5sums=('820a83ef179f376d24e57cbf72c21f48'
         '8eea442ee933f6ca661cc9563ea3c0d3')

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

Okay, I managed to get all packages build, but... How do I start this? It doesn't show up in my KDM-menu.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

You need to add the session command "startmoblin" to KDM. You can probably do this through the control center, I don't have KDE so I wouldn't know exactly where.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

Okay, works now (copied moblin.desktop to /etc/X11/sessions). I mean, the menu works, but I don't know, how moblin itself works. My network doesn't work or more likely I cannot reach the buttons, because they are out of the screen. I can click through everything and nothing is grey.

And it says "Moblin 2.1". Maybe some things are a little bit broken at the moment.

How do you play music in it?

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

If you keep the cursor towards the top of the screen for a moment, the panel should pop down with the buttons on it. Currently none of the applications are working for me.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

moblin final release uses 2.6.30-3.4.1 kernel (uname -r). GUI is simple and easy to navigate. I also read that most of the netbook released with moblin already sold out especially in Australia. But still I prefer a simple openbox setup on the top of Arch Linux.

Allan,  moblin boots fine with lenovo N500 laptop.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

Sorry I haven't been replying - been insanely busy.
People who are having problems with everything being greyed out - I've got a slightly adjusted version of clutter*-git in the git repo, pulling in the clutter 1.0 branches of everything.

Another way to get the top bar down is the super (windows) key

With the mozilla stuff, maybe try uninstalling normal xulrunner before building.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

@alex_anthony, one of the issues that I was having was that mozilla-headless-services wasn't copying the files in the pkg directory to the usr directory. Copying it manually fixed that one particular error but maybe it could be fixed in the PKGBUILD?

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

I don't know why, but "carrick-ng" says:

No package 'rest' found

but I built and installed librest.

EDIT: It built the second time... Confusing.

EDIT2: md5sum of "mozconfig" in "mozilla-headless" isn't the right one (see Post#130).

EDIT3: There are two things on this quick-build-list, I don't understand (and ignored). First is "../gnome-shell/mutter", which isn't in my build-directory and "mozilla-web-browser" (same reason). There is "moblin-web-browser", but not the mozilla one.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

the ../gnome-shell/mutter was a little thing for my own convenience (I maintain moblin's mutter-git and gnome-shell's mutter-git and I was using the gnome-shell mutter at the time). I've got rid of it now.

Not sure why carrick-ng couldn't find rest the first time around. Happened to me as well. I'll read up on pkgconfig

sorted the other issues too

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

A repo for this will be going up soon. I just want to try and sort out the browser stuff (getting close) first. Anyone able to get mozilla-headless-services-git to build without the -i in both of the make lines?

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

I think I know what the issue with the white screen(Post #127) It is caused by the nvidia drivers for me, If I uninstall them it is very laggy but looks correct, But if I install them it is very smooth but white.

Similar to that bug I guess.
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=54469

But now that we know what it is maybe we can fix it?

BTW I tried Ubuntu Moblin Remix and it is the same story white screen with nvidia very laggy without but works.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

So, Moblin 2.1 stable is out now. Maybe there is a way to use 2.1 stable only and stabilize it for Arch Linux?

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

sorry about the lack of news again. Went away and came back and I'm having problems with my laptop - nothing is building quite right at the moment. If I can get it working, I'll put some repo packages up

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

Sorry, I kind of forgot about this.
I've left Arch - had a lot of X mess, general cruft build up, everything going wrong. Tried fedora and then ended up back on Ubuntu (with netbook remix and gnome shell at the same time, which works well by the way)
I orphaned the AUR packages and if someone emails me I can let them take over the git repo and LexRivera will hopefully let someone else get a repo going with some ftp space
sorry about this

(I presume the git repo PKGBUILDs are very broken, but not too hard to fix. Have fun)

When i compile without gobject-introspection and gir-repository, compile is OK
It seems that everything works well and installed.

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

So, is anybody willing to take over this?

If someone can make it build correctly I might be able to host a repo. Anyone up for it?

Re: [REQUEST] moblin

There is a new name for it. Moblin is now called "MeeGo" and the fusion of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo with the Linux Foundation as an "observer" (or so). Might be a very powerful fusion.
