I downloaded install-tools to flash but Application manager complains that the file is corrupted with 0kb. File manager says it is 4.8MB. The log states that it is not a debian format archive.
redownload the file, I am assuming you used the browser, I am suspecting its the browser, wget seems to work every time?
I know that I have no doubt done something wrong, but having spent a couple of days going through the forums trying to fix, I am lost.
I have an N810 and I installed the Clone OS to SD Deb to the internal card. I received a message saying it failed. Rebooted and tried again. Same thing.
I have reflashed by N810 and tried to reformat the internal card and every time I reboot, the internal card only has 120MB approx of available space.
I have tried to format in windows (and it says it is successful), but then when i reboot it says still only has the 120MB approx.
I have tried to repartition in Xterm, but get the same result.
I have attached the log from the last attempt at installing. there seems to be a couple of glaring problems, but being a novice, I have no idea what to do to fix.

Tonight l was able to download the file and install it. Booting from the new SD card is working. However, I have 2 questions:
1. Using apt-get now I am getting this message in this example:
$ sudo apt-get install canola2
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg /), is another process using it?
[Edit: Nevermind about #1. I must have had Application Manager running in the background.]
2. I had KDE installed using flash and a different SD card. How can I reinstall it? Can I just copy the 2 directories from the old card to the new card somewhere?

2. I had KDE installed using flash and a different SD card. How can I reinstall it? Can I just copy the 2 directories from the old card to the new card somewhere?
I am not sure if this would work, as I have stated you should remove that version of KDE prior to booting from SD.
The KDE easy install version is not meant to run from boot from SD. You should just install v3, via KDE v3 installer
At present I can't download any programs as it is trying to use that card to d/l them. I don't seem to have the option that has been discussed previously to change that setting in Application Manager.
Any other suggestions to change the system to use the MMC1 to download packages?

I had a problem on my wife's 810 where the internal 2GB became readonly. The only way to fix was fdisk and reformat the internal 2GB.
I find it hard to believe the internal 2GB card is corrupt totally.
Since you cannot install the deb to fix it, look at the install tools advanced edition
This can be used from the command line, provided you have root access.
Can anyone help me with this? On my 810 I installed install-tools-N810e.deb and cloned to my external 8gig card just fine. Then after some thought I realized I'd be better off cloning the OS and running it off of the internal 2gig card instead. I tried to install install-tools.deb but got an error. I tried uninstalling install-tools-N810e.deb from app manager with no luck. I tried disabling the 128mb of swap I had on the internal 2gig card with no luck. Anyone know how I can clone to the internal 2gig card now?
EDIT: No clue what changed, but I tried it one more time several hours later and it worked. Only difference from last time is I had no pending ssh sessions into the NIT :shrug:

If you are using install-tools.deb, you cannot have a card in the external slot, of it will fail.
Not sure what your problems was though? could that have been it?
