greboide: I am always appreciative of patches to my scripts.

I believe these reboots are a regression in PR 1.3, something to do with intensive disk I/O. I'd file a bug, but honestly, does anyone believe Nokia will offer a fix?

I switched to the latest Power Kernel and I haven't noticed any reboots since. I am going to try downloading the image again and see if it reboots...

while(!PR1.4){
if(Software = 'Nokia') {
fix = false;
}else {
chance = rand(1,10);
if(chance > 6) fix = true;
}
}

Well... I think it rebooted when I tried to install cadabra. Running "dpkg --configure -a" showed there were new stale files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates. Synaptic cannot be used until this is fixed although cadabra appeared to work.

So I moved the directory updates to updates_stale and made a new updates directory. I also copy back the files in update_stale to updates as the stale files will not copy

I then ran "dpkg --configure -a" again and got the message

set up /usr/lib/libpulsecommon-0.915 so that it is not a common link.
Synaptic works now.

Any ideas why this happens?

EDIT: Actually it is not working. I get an error concerning empty file name when trying to reinstall a file (texlive-latex-recommended-doc). I'm not allowed to proceed unless this is first fixed. I may have to start from scratch again...

If you have enough space on your device, make backups of the Debian image when it's still uncorrupted so that you don't have to start from square one when it happens again. Or backup through USB!

Just a general suggestion, I've mapped control + comma to behave as Alt + tab for window cycling.

To do so, just edit the file ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml , search for the line "<keybind key="A-Tab">" and change it to "<keybind key="C-comma">".

I have a further question about locales - running 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' was fine for generating the one(s) I need, but the default locale was still inherited from Maemo's settings, which was causing some python scripts to fail with codec errors. I found I could override them using Easy-Debian's /etc/environment (or /.debian/etc/environment):

LC_ALL=en_AU.UTF-8
Can anyone tell me whether this is the 'right' way to accomplish this?

I tried reloading everything I had before and I am pretty much up to speed now. I did not have a problem with reboots this time. It may be I ran out of space and the upgraded operating system is less forgiving when you are not so careful. The biggest program I added was cadabra which uses about 400mb and upgrades some of the texlive programs. vic in itself is not a huge program so I'm not sure what happened. Perhaps files were already corrupted from a previous download. Gathering from the other threads, there may be some systemic problems using apt-get with PR1.3, but, In my case it was important to monitor free space and to heed rebhana's words to constantly do an apt-get clean!
