How to enter the startX of the linux(for the nspire)?

[panyaolin123]

In this post I refer to your MSD, USB storage, whatever, as /dev/sda. If you don't replace it with the correct path, you'll lose most of your data, so be careful.
Create a partition layout (MSDOS partitions) like

Code: Select all

/dev/sda1 512MB ext4
/dev/sda2 256MB swap

, the partitions can be larger, of course, download http://tiplanet.org/nspire-linux-builds/xconfig_20130410_1921.ext2.bz2 and http://tiplanet.org/nspire-linux-builds/zImage_expanded_20130211_0728.tns, copy the zImage as "zImage.tns" on your calc, edit the .ll2 file appropriately:

Code: Select all

kernel linux/zImage.tns
cmdline root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10
boot

Then execute "bunzip2 xconfig_20130410_1921.ext2.bz2" and "dd if=xconfig_20130410_1921.ext2 of=/dev/sda1", "sync" and it should boot if you plug the MSD onto your calc as soon as you can see the "waiting for root device to appear" message (or similar, you'll recognize). This way you won't have any issues with the filesystem or permissions, as everything is stored in the disk image. If you want to run my old "linucx.zip" image with gnuplot, you just have to "unzip -o -K -X linucx.zip -d <mountpoint>", although that's untested.

Good luck!

Now I enter the startx successfully.But any key pressed is invalid. Can't it use the touchpad?

Also,I need a zImage and rootfs that can surf the Internet(use the wireless) .Can you offer me ?
And it is very kind of you if you can tell me the steps to surf the Internet.

If you want to use WLAN, you need a self-compiled kernel and the suitable firmware. (http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/Linux#Kernel and https://github.com/Vogtinator/nspire-li ... el/.config)
The older root filesystem with gnuplot has some config utilities like "iw" compiled in.

But I don't know how to compile the kernel. Can you teach me?
And now,I haven't entered the startx successfully.I stuck here(look the picture). The keyboard and the touchpad didnt work? In a word, now I cant use the startx ,what is wrong?
(When entered the startx, can the touchpad work normally? Or should I write a device for the touchpad? )

The information given by the first link and some posts on the original omnimaga linux thread (I can't find now) should be enough, it's not hard.

And now,I haven't entered the startx successfully.I stuck here(look the picture). The keyboard and the touchpad didnt work? In a word, now I cant use the startx ,what is wrong?

It's probably that the keyboard driver is missing from the root filesystem, try various versions, earlier versions are more likely to work.

All right,I will go to omnimaga to search. But do you sure the earlier versions wont cause error?
And do you have a compiled zImage (can use the WLAN)? Send it online and give me the download address,OK?

I think you can send the compiled zImage to the github .

No, I'm not sure, you'll have to try some until you find one that works.

And do you have a compiled zImage (can use the WLAN)? Send it online and give me the download address,OK?

That depends on your type of WLAN module. You need to compile the kernel yourself to support it.

But my root fs is downloaded from tiplanet,and it's the latest version ,does it possible lost the device file ?

Should I change my root fs,or the.zImage ,or both of them?

[Vogtinator]

Your zImage seems to work fine, as you could enter "startx"

OK,I will try to change the root fs.Thank you very much!
