MOD7 full dd disk image.



I've been adding things to the stock clarion os(Midinux).
I have a bunch of scripts that I will be posting, but for now I will just post my most current dd image of the stock os.
It includes:
osso-xterm
stock home screen menu hack
Flash 10.1
Firefox 3.6(adblock, grab + drag, downthemall)
Jdownloader
Gnome-Mplayer/mplayer
XFCE (can switch back to stock home screen with switch-desktop script)
Thunar
WINE(including winrar)
a bunch of gnome-games
Pidgin
Google Earth with or without GPS support.
TangoGPS
CoolGPS
CoolWord
xbkbd(for xfce)
Matchbox-keyboard(with hildon plugin for stock home screen)(works with firefox)
Tuxpaint
and more...


here is the clarionMOD7.dd image file.

I had to rar it into 4 parts to upload it to megaupload.
part1 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZPYVLU7X
part2 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0YOWMAII
part3 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IUYV3UNA
part4 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GWA5VYL5

Enjoy! And remember to make a backup before using my image.

Modifying the stock Os 3





This is a combination hack. It's also a little heavier because of google earth.
You can apply this over the old mplayer hack and xfce hack if needed.

This hacks adds mplayer, gnome mplayer, xfce, Google Earth(with gps support), xvkbd, and some games. It also tweaks the settings for xfce a little.

Install:
Using osso-xterm(X Terminal)
Navigate to where you have extracted newhack.tar.gz

Code:
ls -a

verify that hack6.sh is there

Code:
sh hack6.sh


When Google Earth install pops up, just choose the settings it has listed. When the install finishes do not start it, quit it.

Reboot, then you can choose to switch the desktop or not to.

Use Gnome Mplayer to play anything Coolplayer will not.
Coolplayer still has hardware acceleration for some things.
Mplayer is software decoding only.

Enjoy!


JDownloader can be installed by doubletapping jd.sh on the xfce desktop or the hack directory.

Modifying the stock Os 2

Ok so I know I just uploaded the image with the basic hacks.

Now I have another script file!
This one adds:
to the internet menu-

Pidgin Messaging with keyboard support

adds a new games menu-

Gnome Games:
BlackJack
Five or More
Four-in-a-row
Nibbles
Robots
Mines
Tetravex
Klotski(gnotski)
Tali
iagno
Mahjongg
Same gnome

It also installs Zenity for future use...

To install:
Instructions:
-extract clarion_hack_2.tar.gz
-open up osso-xterm on the clarion mind and navigate to where you extracted this file.
-type the following:
Code:
ls -a
Make sure you can see install_new.sh

Code:
sh install_new.sh

It will do it's magic and reboot.
Hope this works for you all! Enjoy :D

Modifying the stock Os




For those of you that might wish to go back to the stock OS...
The stock OS is really limited.
I've made an DD image of my modified stock OS.
It has the following:

An Application Menu

Firefox 3.6--needs a usb keyboard to use.
Coolfox is still installed.

Flash 10

osso-xterm(terminal with virtual keyboard support)

I just finished raring up my image. the dd image is 3.6GB. I've rared it into 3 rar files totaling 1.9GB. I'll upload them to megaupload tonight.
It's got the basic hack, flash 10, and firefox installed. You need a keyboard for firefox. Coolfox is still installed for pen use.


To Install:
First off you should have a backup before doing anything. Just in case.
I'm not going to get into that here.

Make sure to extract the rar files. You should be left with a 3.6GB dd image named clarionMOD.dd

I normally flash my images using by booting a copy of nMind lite. You can use other linux versions, however disc locations may vary.
I bootup nMind livecd.
Then I open file manager, and navigate to the drive where the image is stored.
(I use 2 partitions on my usb stick so I can use one for the livecd, and the other for storage.)
Then I load terminal and navigate into the drive where the image is stored
Code:

sudo -s

Code:

cd /media/disk

this location may vary for you.
Code:

ls -a

just check and make sure clarionMOD.dd is there

Then I flash the image using dd:
Code:

sudo dd if=clarionMOD.dd of=/dev/sda bs=1024K

*if you're not using nMind then the location of your ssd may not be sda*

Thats basically it.
Files are on megaupload. Sorry I cannot do torrents and don't have a host that works better for me.

nMind LITE 0.5a

nMind LITE 0.5a
I've had a hard time getting this one working right. The goal was to get a slimmer install that would still work well with the mind. Install this one takes about 1.52GB without a swap partition. With a swap it take about 250mb more.

Here are the details:
-Now compatible with 2gb devices.
-Based on Crunchbang 9.04.1 Lite(which is based on ubuntu 9.04)
-Openbox instead of Gnome
-Cellwriter Keyboard(Kvkbd and Xvkbd have alot of dependencies)
-Mplayer-vaapi
-working gma 500
-Working Touchscreen(Ideacom UTS6680 on the ps2 port. Still has a hard lockup sometimes)
-Working suspend
-Working wireless(SD8686)(with suspend)(patched driver + networkmanager)
-remapped the HOME button(upper left button on the mind) to bring up the root menu
-ADesk-menu installed.

Iso size: less than 600mb.

nMind 0.7c released!

nMind 0.7c

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=52RRVBJG

I rebuilt the libertas driver with the patches to fix the NetworkManager crash.
Suspend/Resume wireless works.
Mplayer-vaapi works.
oh yeah, I rewrote /usr/bin/dexconf. Now it will generate a proper xorg.conf with the touchscreen settings, and the pouslbo settings.
That means that I cut the time to build the liveiso down by 2 hours.

-note if nautilus-scripts are not working for you after install from live iso do the following:
Code:
cd ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/

sudo chown -R root:root

They need root permissions to run.

Good Luck!
Next release may not be for a month or 2, if I do one.

nMind 0.6e(previously mindbuntu)

nMind 0.6e

Disclaimer:
Based on Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04. Not supported by ubuntu, this iso is not an official ubuntu release. By using this ISO you agree that you will hold no one liable for anything that may go wrong. This iso is meant to be distributed freely with no support whatsoever.

That being said. nMind is a remix of Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04. It is fully compatible with ubuntu 9.04 and has been remixed with drivers installed for the clarionmind.

Features:

-name changed from mindbuntu to nMind.
-poulsbo gma500 drivers installed
-mplayer-vaapi installed( UL11L chipset limitation ul11l does not play HD)
-wireless installed(does not work from suspend)
-touchscreen installed(still random hard lockup related to driver)(hold for right click)
-touchscreen calibration located in Accessories --> Touch Screen
-sound installed
-CellWriter virtual keyboard + handwriting recognition
-w32codecs installed
-smplayer installed(setup for mplayer-vaapi)(when playing sometimes video may appear to be frozen. Use the arrow buttons to move foward or back and the playing will resume.)
-play h.264 in smplayer(accelerated)(totem set to default media player)(right click and choose open with smplayer)
-play non accelerated video in totem
-Firefox 3.6
-Flashplayer 10.1 beta 3
-grab + drag and adblock pro installed
-sun java installed
-gpsd installed(set to /dev/ttyS1)(unsure if it works)
-gps navigation software installed(untested see above)
-deluge torrent client installed
-nautilus-scripts installed
-xrandr commands removed. they still work, just make your own. The commands are:
Code:
xrandr --output LVDS0 --mode 800x480 --scale 2x2

The "2x2" is the maximum scale of 1600x960. You can change that to 1.1x1.1, 1.2x1.2, 1.25x.1.25, 1.5x1.5, or 1.75x1.75. So for example you go to Preferences --> Main Menu --> choose a location --> then you can add a new item. I choose Favorites. Click "New Item". Name it something related to the scale setting(xrandr 1.35x1.35). Enter this into the command section:
Code:
xrandr --output LVDS0 --mode 800x480 --scale 1.35x1.35

then click ok.
There is a major performance hit when using the xrandr commands and you must reboot or restart x to get back to 800x480.

Compiz is not setup in this version If you want gnome + compiz grab mindbuntu_0.4c.iso.

Install Instructions for internal ssd
-On the screen where you setup your user name and password make sure to scroll down and choose the Auto Login option. Otherwise you wont be able to login because there is no virtual keyboard on the login screen.
-On the summary screen click on the "Advanced" button. Make sure to choose to install the bootloader on to sda.(or choose whatever drive you setup in the partitioning step)

nMind_0.6e.iso is uploaded.
