MeeGo 1.2 Netbook to IVI

Japanese Blog Link

I tried MeeGo 1.2 IVI on VirtualBox.
MeeGo 1.2 IVI didn't run.

Other Way...

MeeGo 1.2 use same repository.

I think.
Change to IVI from Netbook.

The Way following

"Run Level 3" boot and Kernel option "quiet" remove.
root login.

Preremove packeage
# yum erase meego-sound-theme

Because

Conflict Package
meego-sound-theme(included Netbook) and meego-handset-sound-theme(included IVI)

Install groups
# yum groupinstall "MeeGo IVI" "MeeGo IVI Desktop" "MeeGo IVI Applications" -y

and "on VirtualBox"

# yum groupinstall "Virtual Machine Support" -y

Remove package
# yum erase meego-menus
dependent packages remove too.

Reboot MeeGo.
Run Level 5 boot.

P.S. 2011-10-12
1. About This Way.
MeeGo 1.2.1 Snapshot(1.2.0.90, 1.2.0.99) cannot do this way.
but
Same way change to Tablet UX from Netbook UX.
(incomplete Tablet UX)

2. Change to near native IVI and Tablet.

File Edit
/etc/sysconfig/uxlaunch

add text: session=/usr/bin/mcompositor
comment out: session=/usr/bin/mutter --sm-disable
