Are you using the newest easy debian version? There are a few different builds...

I am using debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2

Re: At a complete loss regarding Easy Debian and arduino

Not that I think it makes any difference, but I'm using: debian-m5-v3e.img.ext2

Worth a shot. I'll post back with results

Re: At a complete loss regarding Easy Debian and arduino

Progress!

I am now 90% sure that it was an overheating problem. Before trying the v3e image (I'm on v3d) I painstakingly installed each dependency 1 by 1 and success!

However, I am left with 2 problems.

1. It seems that this is an old version of the IDE, as there is no option for the model that I have bought, the Arduino Uno. However, it may work with it anyway as I have never used an Arduino before and mine isn't arriving now until January (thank you very much snow).

2. About 30% of the time I launch the program, whether from chroot or lxde, I am greeted with the following java error:

Code:

[root@deb-m5v3d: /]arduino

#

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

#

#  Internal Error (os_linux_zero.cpp:236), pid=2658, tid=1751823472

#  Error: caught unhandled signal 4

# JRE version: 6.0_18-b18

# Derivative: IcedTea6 1.8.3

# Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid), package 6b18-1.8.3-2

# An error report file with more information is saved as:

/usr/bin/arduino: line 8:  2658 Aborted                 java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -jar /usr/share/arduino/arduino.jar

This has also happened a few times while the program is running.

If anyone could help me overcome this last hurdle it would be awesome and I would be willing to throw a parade for them :D

EDIT: I found out I need to have version 0021 to work with my board, but the only version in the repo is 0018. I tried the debian and ubuntu natty armel debs but they run almost unbearably slowly and probably won't work anyway.

Any suggestions as to how I can compile them myself? I tried the "git" installation as instructed on the Arduino web site, but I recieve the above java error after a few seconds of compiling.

Just to add my 2c, I've been having the exact same said problems, albeit not with installing arduino specifically. Like when installing build-essential my phone crashed about halfway through leaving a broken install. Then I disabled swappolube and it worked, but still other larger packages crashed during install. I noticed the N900 getting warm during install. Maybe that's the problem. Heat and overloaded i/o. I guess some people's N900s are more stable than others given this stress. Odd the regular app installer shows no issues. I'm going to try installing the packages 1 by 1 to see if that works.

EDIT:

Yes, installing packages 1 by 1 seems to work. However, for some reason the "Close Easy Debian" script crashes. Hopefully a reboot will fix the problem.

Never did get a usable version of the 0021 ide working though, so if anyone could help that would be great.
