Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

I got the same issues, but just have not had time to write up on it yet... so it seems to be reproducible. I guess I feel less an idiot, but sad that it didn't work for you, either.

Followed your instructions, but now when I do 'apt-get upgrade from Debian chroot terminal window, I get the following:

Code:

#apt-get upgrade

E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt

E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Also, when I do:

Code:

#apt-get update

E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.

Any suggestions????

Thanks!

I'm so sorry!! I forgot about that "partial" subdirectory. You have to make that one too.

So the first line of my example should read:

Code:

mkdir -p /media/mmc1/debian-apt-archives/partial

I've fixed the original instructions, too. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks again for your help, qole!

However, just followed your corrected instructions and while it went OK, now when I do 'apt-get upgrade' I get in chroot terminal I get:

Code:

#apt-get upgrade

E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt

E: The package lists or status file could not be found or opened.

and when I try:

Code:

#apt-get update

E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing

Any suggestions?

Are you sure that corrections you made are correct? For example, I noticed that you changed from 'debian-apt-get-archives' to debian-apt-archives'....

Thanks!

:confused:

Sounds like you just put the "partial" directory into the wrong parent directory.

I'm fairly sure that I never had "debian-apt-get-archvies", but if that's the directory name you used, then you need to put the "partial" directory into that directory instead...

Code:

mkdir -p /media/mmc1/debian-apt-get-archives/partial

Here's the updated original post for anyone who wants to do this.

Thanks, qole, just tried this one more time per above, but now I get error message from the mount command line....

Code:

#mount -o bind /media/mmc1/debian-apt-get-archives /debian/var/cache

mount: mount point /debian/var/cache does not exist

Appreciate some more help....

:)

Hi ArchiMark,

Make sure you are doing that mount command as root in maemo, not in Debian.

However, if you already did the mount command and you haven't rebooted, you can probably just create the partial directory and try apt-get upgrade again.

:confused:

Is there a way I can start fresh?

Thanks!

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

1. reboot.
2. follow my original post's instructions.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

Here's my progress replacing the Hildon desktop with the Debian chroot desktop.

I've written a little script that shuts down the Hildon desktop and then runs the LXDE desktop from the chroot. "Logging out" of LXDE returns you to the OS2008 desktop.

I'm using a tiny command-line menu program, called "9menu," to create an OS2008 program launcher on the LXDE desktop. You can click on items in the little menu and it will start Hildon apps.

This screenshot shows Maemo Mapper, launched from the little 9menu, running on the LXDE desktop. (I also took the screenshot using mh-shot-tool, my favorite Hildon screenshot tool)

...and now you all know where I live :)

Will setting a larger swap file say 256MB or 512MB in OS2008 be able to speed up stuff?
I know there are commands to make swap file mkswap and swapon, can we resize to make the OS2008 swap larger?
