Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

S_Paul:

I don't think it is wise to update the system to Squeeze. It seems that only Lenny works properly.

I think I should make a wiki page explaining how to copy data from an image to a partition. But if you can do that, simply edit "/home/user/.chroot" and set IMGFILE to your partition (/dev/mmcblk0p3 or whatever).

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

thank you to answer me,
mmm.. the image on http://qole.org/files/ named "debian-squeeze-img.tar.bz2", it means debian-squeeze?
wiki - very good idea, we will waiting :)

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

Hello, i unpack my system on dedicated partition(/dev/mmcblk0p2), mount it on /debian, can chroot in console, but if i (example)
#startlxde
http://s54.radikal.ru/i146/1002/ca/01e5e9d2bbda.png
i dont have enought knowledge to modify standart launcher scripts,
i think need to remove mount image options and sdd something else, but..
can you help me? i think it's help not me only.
or you working on enother(Mer) project?

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

S_Paul: I'm very very focused on getting Easy Debian working for the N900.

I understand your problem now... You can't just start LXDE, you have to kill the Hildon desktop first, my script (in the switch-lxde package) should do that for you. Did you install that package yet?

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

Yes, (i launch it from ssh):

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

S_Paul: The central problem seems to be that your chroot isn't starting correctly. Make sure your /home/user/.chroot file has the line, "IMGFILE=/dev/mmcblk0p2" (also comment out the other IMGFILE lines by putting # at the beginning) so that the chroot starts correctly...

No.. steel

the image specified (/dev/mmcblk1p2) does not exist or neither a regular nor a block special file

first parameter must be an image or partition

but i _dont_ have *.img.ext2 file,
i have an / of debian on my /dev/mmcblk1p2 with ext2 filesystem.

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

I just don't get it, you say you can chroot into that partiton, yet it says that the partiton is not valid...

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

i mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 on /debian and chroot in. but from scrips no.
