Ubuntu Touch port being worked on for quincyatt

Ok, I'm getting to the same point as your dmesg log shows, it doesn't boot up just hangs after it mounts the filesystem. I tried a USB keyboard with OTG and it worked fine so if you can get it back to where it shows a login prompt you might be able to plug in a keyboard and login with that.

I don't have a usb keyboard so can't try that, here is my build if you want to try.
ubuntutouch_cm-10.1-20131026-UNOFFICIAL-quincyatt.zip - 31.90 MB

I recorded the screen so I could see what was on the screen before it launched the terminal login screen from my first attachment.

Not sure if it gives us any information to fix something or not.

I tried your build but it never gets to the prompt. Not sure why not, I didn't have anything plugged into USB at the time. I'm going to try just building the kernel by itself and booting a standard Ubuntu or Debian ARM rootfs off the external SD card using this kernel+initramfs as a base.

did you flash http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip before flashing my zip?

I am using the install instruction from the n7000 port - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160773

Thanks,

Ok, with that I was able to get the login prompt and log in successfully. There's no networking devices under ifconfig, no Bluetooth under hciconfig, and the GUI didn't start so I'm not sure what there is to do. User/pass is phablet/phablet. It seems to be working otherwise, first thing should probably be to get wireless working so we can sudo apt-get stuff and update. All the rmnet_sdio stuff (cell radio?) is listed but no wlan0/eth0. Wonder how that is initialized? Also the display updates really slowly sometimes.

EDIT: dmesg output, but it crashes after a certain amount of time so I had to be quick, mount my flash drive, and save before it reset.

Made a quick video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOSRLC8LVuQ

I'm wondering about the random reboot issue, seems really out of place. It might be the MSM watchdog timer as I noticed that was being initialized in the dmesg. I'll time it and see how long it takes before crash happens. On the video it looks like the phone was active for a total of 1:25, or 85 seconds. If the watchdog initialized at 5 seconds into boot I'm guessing there is a timeout set at 80 seconds. I'll do more tests to confirm this, and if it is the watchdog I'll try compiling it out of the kernel or something.

EDIT: Timed again, this time no keyboard plugged in and no interaction, rebooted at exactly 1:25 in. It's definitely some sort of timer issue.

cool video, I'll get you something soon that will at least look more interesting on youtube

I got the UI to boot up, still doesn't have any network and I can't access it via adb to pull logs.

Here are some screenshots from my webcam.

I created a modified ubuntu image based off of w-flo's work here

backup, wipe, and install in the following order(I used TWRP 2.6.1.0)
Ubuntu_Touch_cm-10.1-20131027-UNOFFICIAL-quincyatt.zip - 31.90 MB
modifiedgpf-trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip - 394.55 MB

I did discover that after I rebooted into recovery I was able to via adb shell, mount the ubuntu image */dev/block/mmcblk0p25" and i could access the logs via ubuntu/var/logs

Let me know what you find.

Thanks,
Troy

WOW I never expected my little query to prompt a bunch of awesome devs jumping up to play with the project. Thank you so much for your time and efforts! I thought it was a lost cause when i saw that quincyatt was removed from the project pages!

Whether or not you guys succeed at building a viable rom, thank you very much for your efforts!

I'll definitely test that out. Have you had any issues with thr spontaneous resets?

Not working for me, looks like the partition never mounts right. I don't get a login prompt at all. I wiped everything and flashed in that order too, but using TWRP 2.6.0.0. I don't know why that would make a difference. How did you pull kernel logs through recovery?

EDIT: I found kern.log in the /data/ubuntu/var/log folder which contains dmesg from two bootups. It seems to have been able to mount /data to write these but the system just seems to hang.

EDIT: 2.6.1.0 does the same thing, it looks like it fails mounting mmcblk0p25 because of "unsupported optional features"

Sorry it was really late when I wrote up the post, I put the install order backwards, I updated the original post. but install the ubunutu-cm-10 zip first and then the ubuntu-touch trusty image.

Thanks,
Troy

Thanks, will try it. I did manage to log in via adb to the kernel and it looks like the FS did mount, with /dev/mmcblk0p25 (data) mounting twice, here's my output from mount:

need to comment that out of the the installed /etc/fstab, i guess. I now remember seeing some port where they did that

Ok, somehow it started working. It booted, blank screened for a long time, and then the GUI started up. Surprisingly fluid and no graphical glitches! The camera worked! Sadly it appears sound and networking do not work, but it's a good start!

How did you manage that? Ubuntu side or kernel?

Hm interesting this is coming along nicely! Once a somewhat stable nightly gets up I'll flash that on a.... FLASH. AWWW YEAAHHH

I added loading of the wifi module to the init.target.rc

Here is the updated binary

Ubuntu_Touch_cm-10.1-20131031-UNOFFICIAL-quincyatt.zip - 31.90 MB

I still haven't figure out how to get adb working, which would make debugging a lot easier

It's really weird, it looks like either if you install them in the wrong order ADB sometimes works when it hangs. Actually, it might be starting and then dying off before the UI boots as I was able to log in briefly after the kernel started but before the screen goes blank to load the UI. Really strange. I think for adb to work you have to set the USB kernel device into adb mode as well as open the adbd daemon.

edit: adbd is in /usr/bin on the Ubuntu root (/data/ubuntu). I'm looking to see if it's started by a script anywhere.
Can you install openssh now that wireless is working? If so there's another way you can get a shell on the device with.

edit: Found adbd:

Code:

/data/ubuntu/etc/init # ←[6ncat android-tools-adbd.conf
cat android-tools-adbd.conf
# adbd - run adb debugging shell
#
# This task enables the adb shell

description     "start adbd"

start on filesystem or runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

pre-start script
        [ ! -d /sys/class/android_usb ] && { stop; exit 0; }
        # retrieve the product info from Android
        manufacturer=$(getprop ro.product.manufacturer Android)
        model=$(getprop ro.product.model Android)
        serial=$(getprop ro.serialno 0123456789ABCDEF)

        echo 0 >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
        echo 18d1 >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor
        echo D002 >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct
        echo adb >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions

        echo -n $manufacturer >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/iManufacturer
        echo -n $model >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/iProduct
        echo -n $serial >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/iSerial

        echo 1 >/sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
end script

exec /usr/bin/adbd

EDIT:

So I reinstalled everything after a complete wipe and it booted up once, logged into WiFi, played around on the Internet a bit, tried to download some apps and it locked up. Now it won't boot at all. Also terminal and file manager are still hopelessly stuck at a white screen and no ADB. I tried pinging it to no avail as well, was going to test ssh but I'm on a windows laptop at the moment.
