Hi one1002,

you should download the file named: ubuntu-m5-v1.img.ext2.lzma, then extract it where the previous image was. this should fix your problem.

You have no ubuntu.img.ext2 file on your memory cards

Please use the ubuntu Image Installer in Extras
the dropbox link is not working anymore, and I don't know if the file is listed in qole's website. I couldn't find ubuntu.img.ext2 in http://qole.org/files/. In the website, it has 6 ubuntu files. Which one should I download?

thx!

thanks, freemangordon! I read something about this support long time ago, and of course I totally forgot it. (: so thanks again.

Hi All!

Just a quick post on a very annoying issue: i wanted to install R on easy ubuntu, but during the installation something went wrong; an unexpected restart occured. Normally it is not a problem, my maemo system wasn't harm of course, but ubuntu lxde is now messed up, it cannot load LXDE, stops atthe window that says:"Ctrl back to return to dashboard". Luckily ubuntu chroot is working. I tried to figure out what the problem was, but I didn't succeded. Segmentation fault everywhere, broken files in /usr/bin, cannot start any of the applications; only midnight commander is working. So now i backup my config files (for conky, nautilus, midori, etc.) and start the whole thing again from the beginning. Frankly, now i would like to use easy debian, because it has the applications that easy ubuntu doesn't (R Commander for example).

Cheers,

jm

EDIT: some other things that i noticed:
- when i tried to launch debian lxde (that was on my phone's MyDocs folder as well), it also refused to start.
- After rebooting the phone the debian lxde located in MyDocs started normally.
- After rebooting the phone ubuntu lxde wont start.
- After launching ubuntu lxde debian lxde won't start either -> it needs rebooting the phone.
- After copying debian lxde it starts normally from other places (mmc1).
- After copying ubuntu lxde it doesn' start. But the original, freshly downloaded easy ubuntu image is working fine.

- Trying to figure out what the problem was, i found that some lib files are corrupted, and NFS handle happend. I can't do a thing to solve it; i think something happened with /dev/loop0.
- I don't know if i did it well, but tried to fsck the not-working ubuntu image (/dev/loop0). Fsck said that it is corrupted, something is wrong woth the block size. So that is it.

Hi All!

After flashing my device i decided to have another try on "easy-things" (:

There is something with easy debian; every second run the menu disappears and i can log out only if i run the command from /usr/bin... I didn't want to mess with this, so i gave easy ubuntu another try.
I made a separate ext3 partition on my sd card and converted and copied ubuntu image to that.

That is why i refreshed my earlier writing a bit. It seems that maybe the battery drained totally during the installation of R; it is working now, there is nothing wrong with it.

Cheers,

jm

Hi All,
Thanks justmemory for the big work you've done.
Unfortunately the ubuntu-n900.deb does not work as UbuntuOne has been discontinued. Does someone still own this file? If not, is there a way to install and access it without it (the deb file) ?
Thanks in advance!!!
