I don't know why you did that prior to flashing... I didn't - and it wasn't instructed in the Wiki page. And I didn't do it when cloning either - but it's possible that they are included in the scripts that I used (I gave a link in my previous post).
so I have a 4 gig card, partitioned it a little different than the wiki said, but have done it the original 15000 way and pumping it up to 60000 on first partition, anyway. when I run the cloning script I get out of space issue so I think, I pretty much follow everything verbatim. any comments would be great..
tried the original
# sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0p1:1,15000,6
/dev/mmcblk0p2:15001,,
/dev/mmcblk0p3:
/dev/mmcblk0p4:
I didn't do it either. I setup my partitions using Slackware 12.0 - Linux. I used fdisk, sfdisk, mount, umount, and mkdosfs. It was alot easier then doing them on the Tablet IMHO.
yeah I get a no space left on device error about 1/4 way through ./nupgrade.sh 3
so must be some formatting errors I think on the mmc. Just gonna give up for awhile til I get my linux junkie to come by. just now working out.. have tried process like 5 times now..
well...I got thru the install process for KDE + SUP file. Rebooted. When I click on the KDE icon in the "extras" menu the screen flashes briefly, then goes dark for about 30 seconds. After that the normal desktop returns.
Looks like something is crashing KDE as it loads.
I have an n800/2008OS w/ 2GB internal MMC (1.5 GB on the ext2 partition and .4 GB on the Linux_83 partition), and a 4GB external SD card.
One thing that I don't understand - my "Device Memory" in the File Manager is showing 1.82 GB total size and 1.82 GB in use, while the Internal Memory Card is showing a total size of 1.37 GB with 1.37 GB available. Since both are on the same 2 GB SD card, I don't understand why the combined " total size" is >2 GB.
I'm going to try to delete all unneeded applications and files to free up more space on the boot partition to see if that helps.
After a few hours of sleep I deleted the tarballs and uninstalled a couple of large applicaitons. I was able to free up 264 MB of the partition. Once I did that, KDE started up beautifully.
I am amazed! Thank you PenguinBait, PinCushionQueen and others for the detailed posts here and elsewhere that guided this newbie through.
If anyone is interested, I combined information from multiple sources and notes from my installation expereince into this document formatted for easy IT viewing:
Any one have a idea why when I run ./targnu cf - -C /floppy . | ./targnu xvf - -C /opt it comes back and says "Cannot chdir: No such file or Directory ./targnu: Error is not recoverable: extiing now" I have followed the list in creating everything just when I get to this I get this error. How can I locate the right directory? I have only had my N800 for a weeking and half. Thanks.
*I got it to work, what happen is that I left the "o" in opt so now it worked. Thanks everyone.
Pronuke I have a questioned. I followed your instructions that you posted on your website and was wondering you put
"# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar/bz2
# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar/bz2" twice is this correct? or is one suppose to be the SUP one? Thanks for your time. I almost got this done just need to install KDE.
I tried # mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar/bz2 and I get mv: connot rename '/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2': No such file or directory. What am I doing wrong anyone.
