I ran the installer with the power kernel installed, and it took a long time (as usual), 1h 20 mins to extract, but no reboot this time. I wonder if I should depend upon the power kernel?

I don't think you should have easy-deb-chroot depend on power kernel, but a recommendation on the package page might be useful.

However, 1h20min is really too long. How much of it was for file download and how much for unpacking? Last time I did the extraction on the device (and not on a Linux PC with subsequent transferral by USB) it took only
Code:
Nokia-N900-42-11:/home/user/MyDocs/core-dumps# time lzma -d debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2.lzma

real    7m 32.66s
user    3m 34.14s
sys     0m 35.03s
That was with image v3d, vanilla kernel in PR1.2, and everything put in the directory MyDocs/core-dumps, to avoid issues with trackerd.
Also I had no other activity during the extraction except for being idly on-line.

I found I could override them using Easy-Debian's /etc/environment (or /.debian/etc/environment):



Can anyone tell me whether this is the 'right' way to accomplish this?
When reconfiguring locales you need to select the ones to be generated and then also which one to load as default. Did you do both? It may also make a difference whether you use debbie or debbie-sue. The latter should set the environment variables appropriately.

@rebhana Using debbie-sue does appear to work, although LC_ALL winds up defined as an empty string rather than as my preferred locale. And yes I did select a default locale - actually I only built one and that seems to be enough.

I had a reboot when extracting the -v3e image, and I am 99% certain I had the power kernel in use at the time.

Bugreports are not just about to fix every bug in the system, it is also for keep tracking of the known bugs.

When i noticed bugs before in maemo and i "googled" to my issue, it was good to see that the bug what i noticed was already tracked in the bugs (even if it was finally fixed in PR1.2 only).

Hi rebhana,

I suggest switching to gprs, then copying your /etc/resolv.conf to the chroot. Hopefully that will get you connected... You might need to do it again when back on wifi, I'm not sure...

Might be worth noting that you don't need easy debian to run vpnc - it works natively under maemo.

Ok, I've submitted Bug 11720.
