    I've applied for an invitation to upload to Extras; this will make things better for Easy Debian Final. You'll be able to install from the standard repositories!

    I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, and still get the exact same errors. If I click the Debian chroot icon the screen with the error messages vanishes, so I'm showing what happens when I run /sbin/debian, as the errors appear the same. As I said before, the problem seems to be that the mount commands don't work. One other user, maxzar100, earlier in this thread (on page 5 of this thread) gave an identical error log on so I am not the only one:

    http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...t=21629&page=5

    So here is my error output:

    $ sudo /sbin/debian

    My first thought is: there's something wrong with your debian.img.ext2 file.

    All of your "mount failed" errors are very likely due to the fact that your debian image file isn't mounting properly in the first place, which causes all the other stuff to go south.

    First, you need to know where your debian.img.ext2 file is. It should be something like /media/mmc2/debian.img.ext2 or /media/mmc1/debian.img.ext2 so substitute the right one in the commands that follow.

    1. Reboot. This makes sure you've got nothing chroot-related mounted.
    2. Open a terminal. Type the following (substitute your correct path for /media/mmc2/debian.img.ext2)
    Code:
    sudo su -
    mount -t ext2 /media/mmc2/debian.img.ext2 /debian -o loop,noatime
    ls /debian
    3. Please post the results of those commands. Just so you know, the "ls /debian" command should produce lots of stuff. If it doesn't, then that might be your problem.

    After trying again, penguinbait's "OS to SD Deb"+KDE on my MMC2 card and then qole's Easy Debian on my MMC1 card, is working well. I don't know what caused the problems the first time, but I'm very happy that it's now working! Thanks for the responses and to those who have put in all of the work!

    Qole, I've tried before the very mount command you are now suggesting (except I did not bother to set noatime althought that is a good idea from a performance perspective with a slow flash drive). I've tried again just now just for the heck of it and I still get the same error messages. I've included the output of mount and df-h below also. (Yes, I do have a 1GB swapfile but trying everything with that disabled makes no difference.)

    Just to repeat myself again, I went over your /sbin/debian script and tried executing the mount commands individual since they are what fails. Executing them does not work, sudo or no sudo.

    The cryptic error output of the mount command is not very helpful. If I had time to install a version of mount with GDB breakpoints and source I just might try and debug the problem that way. I first installed Debian back in 1997 by the way back when it meant downloading about 8-10 1.44MB floppy images over a 33.6k modem. I used Debian with Windowmaker until 2003 when I got a Powerbook. Now I would once again like to use Debian---a system I know well---on this nice little N810. I have never in all my years had such a strange problem with the mount command. I used to boot mulitple operating systems on my old PC and I created and mounted all sorts of filesystems without issue. Anyway, the output:


    $ sudo umount /debian
    $ sudo su -

    You have either a bad image file... or bad sectors on your SD card... would be my guess.

    tltmts:

    I agree with fatalsaint. There's something seriously wrong with your image file, when a simple ls gives all kinds of errors.

    Hey, I notice that you still have your .tar.bz2 file on your card. That's really suspicious. Did you use the installer to get it? If so, the file should have been deleted after it was untarred.

    I would suggest you do the following:

    Code:
    sudo su -
    umount /debian
    rm /media/mmc1/debian.img.ext2
    umount /media/mmc1
    fsck -y /dev/mmcblk1p1
    mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1
    cd /media/mmc1
    tar xjvf debian-chroot-img-v2.tar.bz2 .
    This unmounts your SD card, checks for errors, mounts the card again, and then untars the image file again.

    Watch for errors... If there are any errors untarring the image file, that's the problem.

    The good thing about using the auto-installer is that it checks the file's md5sum and makes sure that your download is finished and correct.

    OK! Here we go!

    I need a few brave souls to beta-test this for me.
    • Uninstall any current version of Easy Debian (0.6 or earlier) you might have.
    • Reboot.
    • Install the Easy Debian 0.9-3 package new turbo-charged Easy Debian 0.9-11 package.
    • Reboot.
    • Use the Debian Image Installer to download and extract the Easy-Debian-Final image.
    • Try starting LXDE and then run the virtual keyboard. Type a capital letter using the virtual keyboard.
    • Report any problems or errors you might get.
