Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

here again with another query :D
If anyone could help please..:o

I have a 16 GB mmc which I have created 3 partitions.. First is a FAT for data storage. 2nd ( mmcblk1p2) is my primary partition with cloned OS.. Recently I installed easy debian and tarred the img file to the 3rd partition ( mmcblk1p3) .

Today I looked at my primary partition size and it is at 1.74 GB ( img 1 below) which does not tally with the size of stuff I have installed. Img 2 below contents and size does not tally with the "In Use" space.

I guess while trying to get the Easy debian working, the image file ( debian-squeeze-img.tar.bz2) that I downloaded is stuck somewhere in the primary partition though I deleted it. Essentially think I am not able to reclaim the 1.2 GB worth of space.

Appreciate if someone could help me reclaim this space, without having to reflash/reinstall everything..

Pls help..

I have a question also, is there any way i can install a .exe file on debian. or anything that this N810 runs? thanks alot in advance,

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

There is no Wine for the N810, and the .exe file is not written for an ARM processor, which is what you are dealing with. So, no. There might be a similar program that will run on the N810, but that would depend on what program it is.

shin:

Maybe you deleted the image file when it was still mounted...

Did you have the image file in your "primary partition"? If so, you will have to boot into flash memory, gain root, and issue the following command:

qole :

Thank you for the suggestion..

I ran the fsck as you mentioned.. I dont see any difference or the "in use " volume as displayed in the Img 1 posted above, did not reduce ( still 1.74 GB). Except for couple of ebooks( about 5 Mbs) I have all my audio/video and other files on a separate partition. With the Debian image too installed in another partition, not sure why the size/ volume in use is showing as 1.74 GB, which looks pretty big.

In essence the "fsck.ext2 -fy /dev/mmcblk1p2" did not help much and I was wondering if there is any other way I can free up space, which I suspect is due to the Debian image that I installed to this partition in the beginning..

Thanks for your help..

This may be a n00b question, but I tried to install Easy Debian on my N900, but it won't install because it needs Gnutar. And I can't find Gnutar for N900 somewhere. The maemo4 version doesn't show up in Application Manager, although I've added Extras & Extras-Devel.
Thanks is advance for your help.

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I haven't released Easy Debian for the N900. The missing gnutar is only one of many problems you will have if you try to force it.

Please wait a bit longer for the "official" version.

I have released easy-chroot for Maemo 5 into the Fremantle extras-devel repository, however.

I will try to get a very rudimentary version into extras-devel this weekend, because there are going to be a lot of people with N900s soon.

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Just to show you all that I'm finally getting my act together, take a look at the easy-deb-chroot project git! I have all of the files uploaded there.

easy-deb-chroot git page

Just click on "tree" on the top entry (with the green master tag) to browse the files.

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

How you get it to run? Would you mind to share?
Or is it as simple as "apt-get install lmms"?

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

ah well, I've managed to get Gnutar on my N900, just by adding an extra Extras-repository with distro set to Chinook. Gnutar installs fine and after that, Easy Debian install as well (although not fine)

Now I can't get it to work properly - it keeps asking for an ext2, although I've downloaded it. Trying to work around that as well. I know you're working on a N900-version as well (and I'm appreciating it), but I like to fool around with my N900 this way ;)

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

OK, the easy-deb-chroot package is in Fremantle extras-devel, done properly through the autobuilder and everything.

Let the beta testing commence. And it is pretty rough terrain right now.

Currently I am trying to figure out why the keyboard is totally dead in LXDE. That's a wee bit of a showstopper. :(

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Ok, so after a flurry of uploads, I think I have a version that is somewhat usable. If you want to beta test, get easy-deb-chroot version 0.9.33-1fremantle1 (or higher).

I especially would like help figuring out why the keyboard is completely dead in LXDE.

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Please discuss Fremantle Easy Debian in this new thread. Use this thread for Easy Debian Diablo.

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I have uploaded new versions of easy-chroot and easy-deb-chroot to to the Diablo Extras-devel repository. Could I get a few beta-testers to try updating and report back here?

If I get no responses by the weekend, I will promote the packages to Extras and then I'll hear about the problems ;)

Changes:

• Added thp's patches to allow ssh-to-debian-shell.
• Using the autobuilder process: the packages are now in "free"!
• Now using separate dm-loop packages!

All of those changes are very geeky things to be excited about, I know.

Look at those beautiful, wonderful dependencies. Sweet.

qole, isn´t the time to close this topic?

sorry man, 86 pages of dialog is a bit tiring to read it all.

Maybe compile the instructions again and start a new topic for new version of easy-deb...

Its only a sugestion...

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Ok, done! Here you go.

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

i cant install this on my n900
it says: unable to install 'easy-deb-chroot'. some application packages required for the installation are missing

what do i do when that happens?

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hmm never happend to me...
Think you have qoles repos added too ?

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I'm going to close this thread and ask that discussion goes to one of the newer threads, either Easy Debian Diablo (N8x0 devices) or Easy Debian Fremantle (N900).
