Gparted - Hacked from Debian for 2008 OS

[penguinbait]

Qole asked me to see if I could hack a version of gparted for maemo, as it was working under Debian chroot.

This only works in flash, if you fire it up in a boot from SD partition the tablet will reboot while trying to scan /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk1. I assume this is because of the initfs issue with bootmenu.


The approach I took was using several debs from Debian and some compiled apps from me.

I ran into several problems, but was able to overcome all of them so far.

The install is 20MB (6MB download, 20MB on Disk, 10MB on flash)

This will also give you sudo access

Ignore the memory card corrupted errors

http://penguinbait.com/gparted-hack.deb

I think this is working well, let me know if you have any problems 11/16/08

[penguinbait]

I have found an issue with formating swap partitions on this. It calls mkswap which is busybox version. I created a script called /usr/GPARTED/bin/mkswap it contains

/sbin/mkswap $3

When gparted calls it "mkswap -L "" /dev/mmcblk0p3"

mkswap for busybox does not support the -L "label"

[b-man]

The download link doesn't seem to work, i keep getting a 404 error. :(

[qole]

/usr/bin/gparted is a script to fire it all up.

I will need to change the script. So if you have any ideas let me know. I was doing a umount before and a mount after, but it needs something better

Sorry, I have no ideas, that's the problem. There's some little daemon in there trying to remount mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk1p1 any time there's any change to those partitions...

I will figure something out, but for now, I gotta go trick-or-treating with the kids.

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, my frends still trick-or-treat even though there 16+.

UPDATE: their seems to be a packaging conflict problem; Here are the errors

dpkg --install /media/mmc2/gparted-hack.deb

Do you think it is possible to fix this problem?, possiblly by modifing the postinstall and control file?

Yeah I can fix, along with the mkswap issue. I want to resolve the mounting issue before I spin up a new version.

The quick way to remove that problem yourself, without uninstalling anything, is to use 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite /media/mmc2/gparted-hack.deb' (or --force-all, if you are feeling gung-ho :p).

[penguinbait]

Well there is a script that is called to do the mount

/usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount and also /usr/sbin/osso-umount

I can do this

mv /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount-hold
gparted
mv /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount-hold /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount

And nothing will mount, or I could edit the mount script to just exit if gparted is running?

Still looking for the best idea or suggestion.

For those not paying attention, we want to stop automounts to /media/mmc1 and 2

I also found these

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives true

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_media true

Anyone know if maemo has some corresponding entries?

[b-man]

I believe that you could resolve this problem with d-bus, would that help?

[penguinbait]

OK,I updated the deb, it should install alongside e2fsprogs? Please let me know?

I fixed the mkswap issue

I made a workaround for the mounting issue. It will unmount the /media/mmc1 and mmc2 when started. It will remount all when gparted exits
(feel free to find a better one, but it works)

Please do some testing, I think I am done...


NOTE**** You will still get Memory card corrupted errors from maemo but nothing will mount and the errors can be ignored.

[qole]

I also found these

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_drives true

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/automount_media true

There's some entries in /system, but I think they're read-only:

/system/osso/af/internal-mmc-device-present
/system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open
/system/osso/af/mmc-device-present
/system/osso/af/mmc-mount-point

That's all I could find... nothing under /desktop like on a "real" system :(

[penguinbait]

see my last post :D:D
I did this

mv /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh-hold
/usr/sbin/osso-mmc-umount.sh /media/mmc1
/usr/sbin/osso-mmc-umount.sh /media/mmc2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/GPARTED/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PATH="/usr/GPARTED/bin:$PATH"
/usr/GPARTED/bin/gparted /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk1
mv /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh-hold /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh
/etc/init.d/ke-recv restart

[qole]

Thanks, I was actually typing my response (and answering the door to give out candy) when you posted that... I'll try out your deb shortly, I'm actually planning to remove a partition and grow my fat partition back out.

[maacruz]

Sorry, I have no ideas, that's the problem. There's some little daemon in there trying to remount mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk1p1 any time there's any change to those partitions...
It is ke-recv, I think (I wrestled with it while doing my swap file in external mmc hack).

[penguinbait]

It is ke-recv, I think (I wrestled with it while doing my swap file in external mmc hack).

Yes, the ke-recv is the issue, but if I turn it off and run gparted, the system reboots while scanning for devices.

So I am just using ke-recv to remount the partitions when gparted is complete.

I really don't like doing the mv, but I havn't found another way around it yet !!

[heelio]

Well I tried to install it; got an "unable to install" error. I was installing from my external card in the app manager. Booted from flash.

can you paste in the log from the application manager, or upload it as an attachment here.

In application manager > Open Menu > Tools > Log

[heelio]

Here, I hope it is attached. Did I need red pill mode for this?

I don't see any errors from the install. Can you clear the log and try to reinstall, then paste new log if it fails again.

Thanks,

[heelio]

ok. i think there's something there this time.

[penguinbait]

I need to update it again, its still conflicting with e2fsprogs

dpkg: error processing /media/mmc1/backups/gparted-hack.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/e2fsprogs.mo', which is also in package e2fsprogs


I will update it when I get a chance, if you want to use it, uninstall e2fsprogs, or force install from the command line

[heelio]

Haaay PB guess what happened? I did the above and IT WORKED! Gparted runs okay so far. Also, it reports that my internal MMC does have the ext2 and ext3 partitions laid out as desired, and that they are about equally used up (in other words, your program installed the two partitions and copied everything over just as it was supposed to do). The only problem is, it doesn't show the ext3 partition in the boot menu.

There any way I can edit that menu to make it show up??

Did you try to install bootmenu-installer

http://penguinbait.com/bootmenu-installer.deb

This will scan for partitions and write out a new bootmenu.

Let me know

[heelio]

When does that one execute? Do I have to run it or does it run automatically? I think it was already on there; when I installed it, it said it was an "update". No change to the boot menu.

[penguinbait]

Uninstall the deb and reinstall it.

the install-tools and bootmenu-installer and install-tools-ad.tgz all use /root/install-tools.

Be sure to remove install-tools and bootmenu-install before using install-tools-ad.tgz

bootmenu-installer and install-tools can be uninstalled, but they do not remove anything but the install files, it will not remove the bootmenu or the partitions..

[heelio]

I uninstalled it, rebooted, no change. I reinstalled it, rebooted, still no change. My app. manager does not list install-tools or install-tools-ad among installed apps.

Have you tried to reinstall the install-tools-ad

It just sounds like that partition was never properly cloned.

[heelio]

Okay I am giving that one more shot as I type. I might have had bootmenu-installer installed when I ran the install-tools-ad the first time, although using Gparted it looked as if it had done a successful clone (it showed a tiny FAT partition, two largeish linux partitions both having been written to, and a medium-sized swap partition). Would bootmenu-installer prevent an update to the bootmenu from the install-tools-ad program?

[heelio]

okay tried that, no good. boot menu still unchanged.

Its possible there is some sort of conflict, as they both use /root/install-tools

Note any time you change the partition layout (for example changing the number of partitions or any of their sizes) YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN IT TWICE. So run it once, reboot and run it again.

I will update when I get some time. Any other issues let me know, it appears to be working great.

[heelio]

Okay, I decided to try it again with a different 2 gig card I had lying around. Running it now...

You got me wondering if there was a problem. I just tested it, its working fine, two times install ext2 and ext3, 128 fat, 140 swap, 6 sec timeout

It should be working, good luck

[heelio]

...and I got the exact same result.

On the first pass I got an error and the program required me to eject the card, I seem to recall it doing that on the other card also. It ran all the way through on the second try though. I am going to attach photos of the boot screen (which seems to be immortal now, there's no changing it) and the gparted screen from that last 2 gig card. Very odd that it creates 2 identical 888 meg partitions, but note that the amount used of each one is NOT identical.

[penguinbait]

Why would you have to remove the card? You should not remove the card. You should reboot between each run.

So this is an n800 with 1 card installed? On internal slot?


I also maybe suggest downloading http://penguinbait.com/install-tools.ad.tgz again

There's a 2 gig internal and a 16 gig external. Nothing has happened with the 16 gig, ever.

The install-tools-ad is what I am running. When I ran it the first time (on each 2 gig card) it gave an error some time after that "starting filesystem clone" message appears 3 times. This error suggested my ejecting the card due to some inability to write or something. Re-inserting the card and re-running the program resulted in it running all the way through. Sorry if all this was not clear.

You should run the install, (no matter what happen, reboot)

Now run the install again

Do not eject the card

[heelio]

I'm gonna sign off here with a note to penguinbait - thanks for hanging around helping. Finally I re-flashed my tablet, and ran the thing twice and it works like it was supposed to. Very impressive. I'm gonna clone it to the other 2 gig card also (while it's working) and I have NO idea what was preventing it from working earlier.

[qole]

I tried running the version I force-installed, and, when trying to resize an ext2 partition, it stalls trying to check the partition for errors. This doesn't happen in Debian. There were file system errors in that partition...

EDIT: Something DID happen, the partition was shrunk, but it took waaay too long (2 hrs) and it was still going...

I resized several partitions so far. Not sure what the problem is. depending on how you resize it it may take a while.

Did it error out? All the failures I had all ended in errors and it allowed me to save the error log.

Did you save the error log? if so what did it say?

[heelio]

Hey,turned out I didn't have to ew-clone the other card- it was working, it was just that the boot menu wasn't. So I had two (dual/tri) bootable cards all along, just a messed up bootmenu.

qole? hola, ¿Como estas?

[qole]

... yeah, I dunno, I went back to my Debian version and did my work there...

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I don't understand why Nokia made it so hard to port apps to the tablet. Under EasyDebian, GParted has nice small fonts, tap-and-hold right-click, pop-up keyboard, and full-screen. Under Maemo, the fonts are so huge that the layout is mashed up and kludgy, and most users aren't going to have the Easy Debian usability hacks, so they won't have any way to right-click, pull up a virtual keyboard or make the app fullscreen. I am really beginning to see why devs are so loathe to "hildonize" their apps. What a lot of frustrating work!

Anyway, thanks for your effort, penguinbait. If you think this port/hack is worth it (and I'm just being too cynical), I'll try beta-testing some more.

[qole]

Hm, that's got me thinking.

Maybe what we need is a small set of hacks that force-hildonize any app, just like I do for Easy Debian. We would need xbindkeys (for setting up the hardware key combos), wmctrl (for making things fullscreen) and matchbox-keyboard for us N800 owners. I'm also interested in seeing if libgtkstylus.so can be made to work in Maemo; if so, tap-and-hold right-click will automatically work for all GTK apps.

That is very interesting, since it didn't look like that when I installed it in Maemo. It had the big clunky Maemo fonts... I have freshly flashed my tablet, I'll install again and we'll see.

Very interesting. Installed it again on a nice clean reflash, and it looks correct; all the fonts are small this time.

A problem, however: All of my ext2 partitions have "!" beside them, and when I get details, it says:

Qole, try installing e2fsprogs, see if that fixes your issue

[qole]

First I couldn't find e2fsprogs. Turns out they are in Chinook repository, not Diablo.

I removed gparted-hack, with the thought that I'd install e2fsprogs first, then I changed my mind and decided I wanted to have gparted-hack installed, just to see what happened when I tried to install e2fsprogs after gparted-hack.

That's when I found that my mmc cards were no longer visible! I must have to reboot to see them again....?

So I downloaded the .deb again, this time into my Documents folder, and installed it.

Then I added the Chinook repository and installed e2fsprogs.

Ran Gparted. Usual error (with maemo gparted only) about memory card being corrupted.

Hooray, all ! are gone. That was it; I didn't have e2fsprogs installed. Add that to dependencies.

EDIT: Why can't my tablet find e2fsprogs for diablo, when it is right here (http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/e/e2fsprogs/)? Why does it not show up until I add chinook?

EDIT2: Aha, it ISN'T there, only the diff.gz and .dsc files are there, no .deb!

OK, I will update the deb again to fix the e2fsprogs isssue again. Its always something. So its working well now? Let me know if you have any other issues...

Are your cards available after running gparted? They should remount when its complete..

Looks like it is working well now.

The cards appear to remount after running GParted. Not sure why they didn't do so before.

Please, could you change the menu item to simply "GParted" or "Partition Editor" or something? "GParted Hacked for Qole" is not my favorite menu item name... :)

I didn't like "partition editor" so I went with "GParted Hacked for Qole"

I suppose I can change it next time I go in there, but who knows what it might say when I am done :)

[penguinbait]

I updated the deb so e2fsprogs does not need to be installed. You can install gparted-hack on fresh flash with no pre-req's. I also updated the menu name "Partition Editor"

Enjoy, its working great

[daperezg]

My positive feedback about the gparted for maemo.
Partition Editor on the menu, worked correctly to copy and resize 2 partitions on a 4Gb SD(fat32+ext3) to 8GB SD. :)

This program is magical. It allowed me to reconfigure my bro's flash drive with my n810 when his vista laptop couldn't. :)

Haven't been around for so long...
After some time my N800 was left in the drawer to "rest" I realized I needed it again (no need to spend money for a new e-reader I say :D)
The system was an ugly mess due to my last fiddling with the device, so I decided to reflash it with latest official firmware and updated to the stable branch of community SSU... piece of cake :)
Unfortunately all that glitters is not gold...
I used to have my N800 booting from SD, but console-tools won't work with CSSU... wanted to use gparted (I remember it worked pretty good and was way easier to use than command line to get the right sized partitions) but it cannot see any of the 2 16Gb SD cards...
I'm feeling so depressed... why everything that worked is now pretty much useless? Can somebody give me some help?
Thanks a lot :)

Update: reflashed again, Gparted works with plain diablo, CSSU (5.2010-33.1) makes devices invisible to it... :confused:
