My Japanese Blog "Mer" Tag Link

I tried MeeGo 1.3 UX change.
I used MeeGo 1.3 Snapshot (MeeGo 1.2.80 Netbook).

For example, add Nemo into MeeGo 1.3.

1. Install MeeGo 1.2.80 Netbook.
2. Remove MeeGo 1.2.80 Original Repository file(/etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo).

3. Add Nemo Repository to MeeGo 1.3.
I referred to Nemo Repository from Nemo img .ks file
and Installed Nemo environment zypper repository settings(/etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo).

4. Install Nemo Packages.
# zypper ref
# zypper in -t pattern nemo* mtf* intel*

5. Create .desktop file.
I created /usr/share/xsessions/X-MEEGO-HS.desktop
(I referred to X-MEEGO-HS.desktop from Nemo img .ks file and Installed Nemo environment.)

/usr/share/xsessions/x-meego-nb.desktop is MeeGo 1.2.80 Netbook UX.

Described "Exec=/usr/bin/mcompositor" in X-MEEGO-HS.desktop.
Described "Exec=/usr/bin/mutter --sm-disable" in x-megoo-nb.desktop.

Similar described MeeGo 1.2.
/etc/sysconfig/uxlaunch
session=/usr/bin/mcompositor
session=/usr/bin/mutter --sm-disable
(This Blog Related Article.)

6. Link change .desktop file.
# cd /usr/share/xsessions/
# ln -sf X-MEEGO-HS.desktop default.desktop
Before Set: default.desktop -> x-meego-nb.desktop
After Set: default.desktop -> X-MEEGO-HS.desktop

7. Reboot OS or Kill "X Window" Process.
8. Running Nemo Handset UX.

Other UX.
XBMC(XBMC.desktop), Cordia HD(x-hildon.desktop) etc...

My Japanese Blog Link 1
My Japanese Blog Link 2

I tried MeeGo 1.2 on Intel nonSSSE3 CPU Machine with VirtualBox.

Machine Spec:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Intel Pentium D(Smithfield)
NVIDIA GeForce

"Netbook" 1.2.0 and 1.2.0.90 used.

First, MeeGo 1.2 Netbook Live boot "RunLevel 3".

CUI login screen was displayed.

Second, MeeGo 1.2 Netbook Live boot "RunLevel 5".

X wasn't displayed.
"Alt + F1 " key press. CUI screen change.

root login.
# chmod +s /usr/bin/Xorg

a few seconds wait.
Netbook UX was displayed.

Other kinds of MeeGo.

"Netbook to IVI" VirtualBox .vdi file Used.
(This Blog Related Article)

VirtualBox Settings
Storage:SATA Controller:specified .vdi file.

boot....wait.
X was running, but IVI UX don't displayed.

"Handset" 1.1.99 Pinetrail used.
Live boot.

The way like "Netbook".

CUI screen command.
# chmod +s /usr/bin/Xorg

# uxlaunch
(add description at 2011.06.28)

a few seconds wait.
