With the ssh and term problem, apt-get install ncurses-base , i thought this was a screen dependency

Hello,

is the beta 4 supposed to work in it's current SVN state ? I tried to install it yesterday on my N810 (by following the steps at http://trac.tspre.org/projects/deblet), the install went fine, but when I boot the newly installed system, it's goes up to the login prompt :

Code:
Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid May tt2
May login:
then nothing. The hardware keyboard doesn't work.

I'll try to start the installation again, maybe I missed something...

I just tested latest SVN on my N800, and it seems to work. What puzzles me is that the hostname is 'May' - which is the old hostname that beta3 used. Did you mkfs.ext on the partition or did you just mount it? If you just mounted it and used beta3 before, something like this might have happened..

I had the beta 3 some times ago on the same card, but during my install of yesterday, I deleted all partitions on the card and recreated them... I'm pretty sure they have been recreated correctly because I made them of different size than when I tried beta 3.

I've just retried the install, but after 1h of downloading / installing, the install stopped with messages like :

Code:
Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/console-common/console-common_0.7.79_all.deb  Hash Sum mismatch
Damn ! Problem with us debian mirror ?

I'll try to start again from scratch tonight...

Thanks !

Ok I've found my error. This command lies :

Code:
Nokia-N810-23-14:~# cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/../slot_name
external
It says "external" (on which I want to install Deblet), but in fact it's the internal memory card of the N810. I'm sure because :

Code:
Nokia-N810-23-14:~# ls -l /dev/mmc*
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy   254,   8 Jan  1  1970 /dev/mmcblk0
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy   254,   9 Jan  1  1970 /dev/mmcblk0p1
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy   254,   0 Jan  1  1970 /dev/mmcblk1
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy   254,   1 Jan  1  1970 /dev/mmcblk1p1
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy   254,   2 Jan  1  1970 /dev/mmcblk1p2
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy   254,   3 Jan  1  1970 /dev/mmcblk1p3
As I've just reformatted the internal card with the file manager, it has only 1 partition => it's mmcblk0. mmcblk1 shows 3 partitions, so it's the external card.

I've selected the wrong card during install

Stskeeps :

now that I'm a little less confused with my partitions, I retried to install Deblet but I have some errors :

The package list seems not to be updated correctly... should I open a ticket on your site ?

Also, at the beginning of the install I specified "ftp://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/" as Debian mirror, but during the install it uses " http://ftp.us.debian.org" for some packages... is it normal ?

Thanks

Question before I go about this: Is it necessary to reinstall for each beta released, or will I be able to upgrade smoothly via the apt repositories within Debian?

Reason I am asking is because the installer in SVN nearly drove me mad, so I am going with beta 3's nice tar file. With that in mind, can I install from SVN /without/ using that installer? It has a nasty way of failing on me and needing to restart from the beginning.

Edit:
I didn't mess up the installer when I ran it directly on the tablet with -noscreen. I guess this is a fine message that I should never be given a nice easy GUI; I have a knack for messing them up.

No.. the SVN based debian uses a local repo for modifications and is a completely new build of debian than the beta3... I don't think you'll be very successful with trying to merge the two.

When I'm done with my exams I'm going to sit down and write upgrade-deblet - the functionality is already there just not nicely done. The idea is that once you have the system installed with the installer, it has installed a local APT repository on the file system, that can be rebuilt with new changes from SVN easily, and you can upgrade just like you would with apt-get upgrade - so you don't have to reinstall by with new fancy package/feature
