Introduction

The Portal Accessing Linux links here (Set up users, Optware, and access). There, this page here is marked DEPRECATED. The topics mentioned here have been superseded with the following pages:

Application:Preware to install Preware (containing optware feeds as well)
Application:OpenSSH to install OpenSSH
Dropbear Install to install Dropbear (alternatively to OpenSSH)
Setup bash to replace sh by bash

See also the other portals on the left navigation pane:

webOS Applications introduces you to the Preware application manager. A convenient programm to install further apps to your device.
Linux Applications introduces you to common linux applications, mainly contained in the optware feeds. The optware feeds can also be accessed via preware.

The following is deprecated

To start getting the most out of your new webOS Device you should install Preware. Continue on to the Preware page. There you will see all the ways to install Preware on your device.

Then go to the Optware section in Preware and install OpenSSH and OpenSSH SFTP Server from there.

Then go to the OpenSSH package homepage and read the instructions there to create an SSH key for use when accessing your phone via ssh or sftp.

If you want to access the optware command line package library, then also install the Optware Advanced Linux Command Line Installer package.

Once you are finished, you may SSH into your Pre with an SSH client like Putty:

Find your IP address on your Pre with CheckMyIP.com
- In many cases, you are in a local network, but checkmyip.com gives you the WAN addess. Install whatismyip from the homebrew catalog to get your pre's ip address within the local network and use that
SSH to that IP address on port 22
- If you're doing this over EVDO, there may be a lot of latency. Be patient.
- You can optionally install Avahi and SSH to castle.local.
- Dynamic DNS is helpful for consistently accessing the Pre over EVDO with a simple name.
Log in as root using the SSH key you created during the Optware installation

+The Portal [[Accessing_Linux|Accessing Linux]] links here (Set up users, Optware, and access). There, this page here is marked '''DEPRECATED'''.
+The topics mentioned here have been superseded with the following pages:
+*[[Application:Preware]] to install Preware (containing optware feeds as well)
+*[[Application:OpenSSH]] to install OpenSSH
+*[[Dropbear_Install|Dropbear Install]] to install Dropbear (alternatively to OpenSSH)
+*[[Setup_Bash|Setup bash]] to replace sh by bash
-=Automated Setup of Optware, Users and Access=
+See also the other portals on the left navigation pane:
-The webOS community asks that users who have obtained access to the Linux subsystem install a standard set of software  to ensure everyone has the necessary tools in place to use the resources the community is providing.
+#[[Portal:webOS_Applications|webOS Applications]] introduces you to the Preware application manager. A convenient programm to install further apps to your device.
+#[[Portal:Linux_Applications|Linux Applications]] introduces you to common linux applications, mainly contained in the optware feeds. The optware feeds can also be accessed via preware.
-In particular, this includes the Optware package manager.  Palm's webOS uses the ''ipkg'' package manager internally.  The community has a version of ''ipkg''  called  ''ipkg-opt'' which accesses the Optware library of over 1300 Linux programs available for installation on the Pre.
+==The following is deprecated==
+To start getting the most out of your new webOS Device you should install Preware. Continue on to the [[Application:Preware|Preware]] page. There you will see all the ways to install Preware on your device.
-Palm has indicated that they have no intention of using the /opt directory, so we direct our installs to /opt/bin rather than /bin to avoid being overwritten  by future Palm software upgrades.
+Then go to the Optware section in [[Preware]] and install OpenSSH and OpenSSH SFTP Server from there.
-In addition, the standard package  creates a non-root user, installs ''sudo'', and includes a SSH program (''Dropbear'') and SFTP program.
+Then go to the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:OpenSSH OpenSSH package homepage] and read the instructions there to create an SSH key for use when accessing your phone via ssh or sftp.
-For your convenience, we've packaged all this up into a simple script.
+If you want to access the optware command line package library, then also install the Optware Advanced Linux Command Line Installer package.
-==Optware Setup==
-===Installing Optware in the Emulator?===
-If you're attempting to install these packages to your emulator, you must first add sufficient space by [[Adding_Disks_to_the_Emulator|enabling a virtual disk]].
-After completing the process of obtaining access to your Pre, do the following:
-'''Type each line exactly as it appears.  Copying and pasting is probably a good idea.'''
-''' This is confirmed to work with webOS 1.3.1 '''
-''Note to Windows Putty users:  To paste in putty, simply right-click and the program pastes into the terminal whatever you have copied to the clipboard.''
-<div style="font-size:100%;">
-<source lang=bash>
- cd /tmp
- wget http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/bootstrap/blobs/raw/master/optware-bootstrap.sh
- #Alternately you can use this tiny url http://tinyurl.com/n8q2vy
- sh optware-bootstrap.sh
- source /etc/profile.d/optware
-</source></div>
-Follow the on-screen instructions.
-If you want to review the script before you run it, you can look here:
-[http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/bootstrap/blobs/master/optware-bootstrap.sh http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/bootstrap/blobs/master/optware-bootstrap.sh]
-Note that using the WiFi connection for the above steps is to be highly recommended over the 3G or GSM options, which are reported as sometimes failing. (Turn on aeroplane mode then turn on and connect to WiFi)
-==Quilt setup==
-Optionally, you can then install the ''quilt'' patch manager which allows multiple-file patches.  (Yes, the pun was intentional. Quilt manages multiple patches.)  This installation process has also been packaged into a simple script. It will install quilt, and all of its dependencies, and create a local clone of the WebOS-Internals patch repository. [[Applying_Patches | Applying Patches]] provides a more thorough guide on the use of quilt.
-'''Again, type each line exactly as it appears.  Copying and pasting is probably a good idea.'''
-<div style="font-size:100%;">
-<source lang=bash>
- cd /tmp
- wget http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/bootstrap/blobs/raw/master/quilt-bootstrap.sh
- sh quilt-bootstrap.sh
-</source></div>
-If you want to review the script before you run it, you can look here:
-[http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/bootstrap/blobs/master/quilt-bootstrap.sh http://gitorious.org/webos-internals/bootstrap/blobs/master/quilt-bootstrap.sh]
-==Finishing==
-To finish off, turn Developer Mode back to "Off" (which will reboot your Pre).
 Once you are finished, you may SSH into your Pre with an SSH client like [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Putty]:
 *Find your IP address on your Pre with [http://checkmyip.com/ CheckMyIP.com]
 **In many cases, you are in a local network, but checkmyip.com gives you the WAN addess.  Install whatismyip from the homebrew catalog to get your pre's ip address within the local network and use that
-*SSH to that IP address on port 222
+*SSH to that IP address on port 22
 **If you're doing this over EVDO, there may be a lot of latency.  Be patient.
 **You can optionally install [[Avahi]] and SSH to <tt>castle.local.</tt>
 **[[Tutorials_Linux_DDNS_for_EVDO|Dynamic DNS]] is helpful for consistently accessing the Pre over EVDO with a simple name.
-*Log in with the username and password you created during the Optware installation
+*Log in as root using the SSH key you created during the Optware installation
-**Many operations cannot be carried out with the permissions of that username.  You'll need to [[Basic_Linux_Use#sudo|sudo]] those operations with the new username's password
-Only the default shell (/bin/ash) will work for ssh. To change your shell to bash (which will be located in /opt/bin/bash, once you've completed the quilt install procedure above), you will have to [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Setup_Bash create] an /etc/shells file, and add the following lines:
- /bin/ash
- /bin/sh
- /opt/bin/bash
-Then you will be able to edit /etc/passwd and change the shell parameter for the user you created. Note that if you try to change your shell without adding an /etc/shells the SSH server (Dropbear) will look like it is rejecting your password on subsequent connections.
-=Install Preware=
-To start getting the most out of your new webOS Device you should install Preware. Continue on to the [[Application:Preware|Preware]] page. There you will see all the ways to install Preware on your device. Including stand-alone installers, package installation and an automated script like you did here.
