'''Join the first Maemo Summit'''

'''Berlin, September 19-20''' @ [http://c-base.org/ c-base] - right after the OSiM World http://www.osimworld.com

'''[https://maemo.org/news/events/registrations/register/2f91448248e711dd8bcbb7b26102ad49ad49.html Free registration]''' - '''[http://maemo.org/news/events/maemo_summit-001/ Who is attending]'''

In Maemo Summit 2008 you will learn more about Nokia's Linux platform and its evolution. Meet the core team, 3rd party professional developers and key community contributors. Showcase and discuss your work. Learn, share, hack. And have fun!

The [http://www.osimworld.com Open Source in Mobile World] conference is an interesting venue to know more about the business and technical context of the Maemo platform. Nokia is active in this event and invites the Maemo community to join it. After the conference we propose the first Maemo Summit calling to all contributors.

== Schedule ==

The program is still open. You can propose improvements in the [[Talk:Maemo summit 2008|discussion]] page.

'''The sessions and names are confirmed but the day/time they are scheduled might still change.'''

== Venue ==

The Maemo Summit is held in the headquarter of '''[http://www.c-base.org c-base]''' and the contiguous [http://www.eti-berlin.de/ eti Schauspielschule Berlin].

c-base is a non-profit association which has about 300 members. The purpose of this association is to increase knowledge and know-how regarding computer software, hardware and data networks ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base more]). eti Berlin is a school of actors based in a building with several rooms and a total surface available of 1.200m<sup>2</sup>. The perfect mix, full of creativity!

See [http://share.ovi.com/channel/qgil.public the videos].

c-base is in the very Mitte of Berlin. [http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&q=c-base&near=Berlin,+Germany&fb=1&cid=0,0,5828762841994571845&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image Map]

Setting up NFS

2008-08-29T18:47:24Z

76.103.211.161: combine apt-get commands

{{Midgard article}}

=In Diablo=
This chapter shows an example of how to set up your N800/N810 as an NFS client.

These instructions are valid for Diablo, which was released in June 2008.

Prerequisites are:

#You must be able to access the device as root.
#repository.maemo.org must be in your tablet's apt sources list.

The first requirement can be fulfilled in a number of ways ([[Root access#The R&D way (Nokia 770 only) (Linux or Mac OS X needed)|R&D mode]], [[Root access#easyroot|easyroot]], becomeroot, or [[Root access#OpenSSH|OpenSSH server]]). My favorite is the SSH approach, since then I can utilize my PC's keyboard for entering all the commands.

The second is achieved by adding repository.maemo.org / diablo/tools / free non-free to the Application manager catalogue or by editing /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly.

During this process we're going to need to install a few extra packages and load some kernel modules. Once we're done, your device will be ready to do NFS mounts.

The following packages will be needed; kernel-diablo-modules-extra, nfs-common and portmap.

*kernel-diablo-modules-extra contains the necessary kernel modules
*nfs-common contains other tools
*portmap contains the protocol port number conversion server that is needed for NFS.

This is a log of how I performed the install:
<pre>
$ ssh <device_ip> -l root
root@<device_ip>'s password:

BusyBox v1.6.1 (2007-09-27 18:08:59 EEST) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Nokia-N810:~# apt-get install kernel-diablo-modules-extra portmap nfs-common

# apt-get should automatically load the kernel modules. If not, you can do it manually. The order is important:
Nokia-N810:~# cd /lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/extra
Nokia-N810:/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/extra# insmod sunrpc.ko
Nokia-N810:/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/extra# insmod lockd.ko
Nokia-N810:/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/extra# insmod nfs.ko

# The device is ready, now just mount your NFS partition:
Nokia-N810:~# mkdir /mnt/mountpoint
Nokia-N810:~# mount -t nfs <nfs_server_ip>:/some/directory /mnt/mountpoint
</pre>

That should do it! For the mount to work, your NFS host needs to be configured correctly and that's out of the scope of this wiki page. Just be wary of the user id mappings etc. if you want to use the mountpoint as a non-root user.

=In OS2008=
This chapter shows an example of how to set up your N800/N810 as an NFS client.

These instructions are valid for IT OS2008, which was released in November 2007.

Prerequisites are:

#You must be able to access the device as root.
#repository.maemo.org must be in your tablet's apt sources list.

The first requirement can be fulfilled in a number of ways ([[Root access#The R&D way (Nokia 770 only) (Linux or Mac OS X needed)|R&D mode]], [[Root access#easyroot|easyroot]], becomeroot, or [[Root access#OpenSSH|OpenSSH server]]). My favorite is the SSH approach, since then I can utilize my PC's keyboard for entering all the commands.

The second is achieved by adding repository.maemo.org / chinook / free non-free to the Application manager catalogue or by editing /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly.

During this process we're going to need to install a few extra packages and load some kernel modules. Once we're done, your device will be ready to do NFS mounts.

The following packages will be needed; rx-34-kernel-modules-extra, nfs-common and portmap.

*rx-34-kernel-modules-extra contains the necessary kernel modules
*nfs-common contains other tools
*portmap contains the protocol port number conversion server that is needed for NFS.

This is a log of how I performed the install:
<pre>
$ ssh <device_ip> -l root

Nokia-N810:~# apt-get install rx-34-kernel-modules-extra
Nokia-N810:~# apt-get install portmap
Nokia-N810:~# apt-get install nfs-common

# Now it's time to load the kernel modules. The order is important:
Nokia-N810:/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/extra# insmod sunrpc.ko
Nokia-N810:/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/extra# insmod lockd.ko
Nokia-N810:/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/extra# insmod nfs.ko

# The device is ready, now just mount your NFS partition:
Nokia-N810:~# mkdir /mnt/mountpoint
Nokia-N810:~# mount -t nfs <nfs_server_ip>:/some/directory /mnt/mountpoint
</pre>

=In OS2007=
This chapter shows an example of how to set up your N800 as an NFS client.

These instructions are valid for the IT OS 2007 (version 4.2007.26-8), which was released in June 2007 for the N800 device.

The prerequisites are:

#you must be able to access the device as root.
#repository.maemo.org is in your apt sources list.

The first requirement can be fulfilled in a number of ways (RD mode, becomeroot or openssh server). My favorite is the ssh approach, since then I can utilize my PC's keyboard for entering all the commands.

The second is achieved by adding repository.maemo.org / bora / free non-free to the Application manager catalogue or by editing /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly.

During this process we're going to need to install a few extra packages and load some kernel modules. Once we're done, your device will be ready to mount NFS partitions from another computer.

The following packages will be needed; portmap, rx-34-kernel-nfs-modules, nfs-common. However, nfs-common is currently broken and it needs to be installed by hand instead of apt-get or the application manager.

*portmap contains the protocol port number conversion server that is needed for NFS.
*rx-34-kernel-nfs-modules contains the necessary kernel modules
*nfs-common contains other tools
This is a recording of how I installed the packages and kernel modules:

<pre>
$ ssh <device_ip> -l root
root@<device_ip>'s password:

BusyBox v1.4.1 (2007-03-12 19:00:25 EET) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Nokia-N800-26:~# apt-get install rx-34-kernel-nfs-modules
Nokia-N800-26:~# apt-get install portmap

# I'm installing wget just to get the nfs-common binary package to bypass
# the dependency problems with it
Nokia-N800-26:~# apt-get install wget

Nokia-N800-26:~# wget http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/binary/nfs-common_1.0.6-3.1sdk1_armel.deb

# Unpack the deb file to a temporary directory
Nokia-N800-26:~# dpkg -x nfs-common_1.0.6-3.1sdk1_armel.deb nfstmp

Nokia-N800-26:~/nfstmp# cd /lib/modules/current/
Nokia-N800-26:/lib/modules/current# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5922 Dec 5 2006 exportfs.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72921 Dec 5 2006 lockd.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 263290 Dec 5 2006 nfs.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109606 Dec 5 2006 nfsd.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 153963 Dec 5 2006 sunrpc.ko

# Now it's time to load the kernel modules. The order is important:
Nokia-N800-26:/lib/modules/current# insmod sunrpc.ko
Nokia-N800-26:/lib/modules/current# insmod lockd.ko
Nokia-N800-26:/lib/modules/current# insmod nfs.ko

# The device is ready, now just mount your NFS partition:
Nokia-N800-26:~# mkdir /mnt/mountpoint
Nokia-N800-26:~# mount -t nfs <nfs_server_ip>:/some/directory /mnt/mountpoint
</pre>
That should do it! For the mount to work, your NFS host needs to be configured correctly and that's out of the scope of this wiki page. Just be wary of the user id mappings etc. if you want to use the mountpoint as a non-root user.

=In OS2006=
For the 770 / maemo 2.x see HowToNFS 06.

This should be valid for older IT OS 2006 firmware.

NFS should work without a new kernel

Go into redpill mode. Install the following packages

portmap rx-34-kernel-nfs-modules nfs-common

nfs-common on the N800 bora release will require adduser which will require perl-base. These two packages can be installed from a gregale repository. http://repository.maemo.org/pool/gregale/free/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download this kernel image that have NFS support build in kernel
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006#head-dee0bccd8ad8d16e82f29bfa051ecc468fb009e5

open xterm and type this command as root for install portmap:
apt-get install nfs-common

then NFS is ready to use.

For see it in File Manager create a dir in MyDocs:
mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/.nfs

# portmap

# mount -t nfs x.y.v.z:/foo /home/user/MyDocs/.nfs

skler LudgerHumbert: changed to .nfs and from //x.y... to x.y...
