Questions about building plasma active

2012-04-27 Thread Jonathan Schultz

Hello folks,

I've just discovered this project so please bear with me if I ask 
questions to which the answers are already out there.


I've just been trying to install KDE Active on a Motorola Xoom, which is 
a Tegra 2 device. The basyskom install scripts don't seem to work, but I 
was able to flash the boot image and install the filesystem on an SD 
card as per the directions. When I booted nothing happened. :( 
Literally, no messages, nothing.


But I have been able to install Debian and KDE/netbook using this 
information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192639


So my questions are:

1. Can anyone suggest how to figure out what's going wrong with 
basyskom's images?


2. What is involved in building plasma active from sources? Could it be 
installed as a Debian package? How much tweaking has gone into the 
kernel? Etc.


Many thanks,
Jonathan

Sometimes on first boot the screeh becomes black for several minutes 
while nepomuk is indexing the file system. If there is disk activity you 
should wait (up to 7 minutes) and see if the desktop appears.

I do not own an Arm tablet to test the procedure myself. You should try 
wainting 10 minutes to see if the homescreen appears.

You need to compile kde-workspace with the mobile profile and compile 
the master branch from the following KDE repositories: plasma-mobile, 
startactive, kde-runtime, contour, kactivities and share-like-connect. All our 
builds are rpm based but Kubuntu already packs Plasma Active:

We have not created new patches for the kernel, we use the kernel used 
in Meego or Mer. They contain patches applied but not from us.
