Ok, beta-tester types, I've decided to use my own repository instead of extras-devel as a staging area for this next version. So in order to try the newest version out, you need to add my repository to your list of sources. After doing that, you should get easy-deb-chroot version 0.9.13, and it will automatically install my seriously revamped chroot scripts as a separate package, easy-chroot.
I've decided that, due to problems discovered with my packages after I moved them to Extras, I'm going to be patient this time and wait till I get some feedback here before uploading them to Extras. If I don't get any feedback, I'll start another thread. Still no feedback, I'll post something on maemo.org/news, and if there's still no feedback... well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Once I'm sure that these new packages are working smoothly, I'll get my Easy Ubuntu package put together. The beauty of this new system is that Easy Ubuntu and Easy Debian will be able to live side-by-side, and you'll even be able to run apps from both distros simultaneously. That'll be weird.
Hi! I just got my n810 two days ago and I am really excited by the idea of running Open Office on it. Easy Debian sounds amazing! However, when I try to follow the install instructions in this thread, my n810 crashes. Specifically, I download the package, start the Image Installer, which starts the download... then it gets to anywhere between 1 and 25% (usually around 4%) and freezes. And the n810 reboots.
I tried simply re-initializing the image installer (it gets a tiny bit more then crashes again) as well as downloading the image on my desktop and copying it to my memory card (the image installer freezes while checking to see if the image is good). I never get an error message--it just freezes and reboots--so I have no idea what is causing this! Any ideas/suggestions? Thank you!
