Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

is there anyway to change the lxde menu items? , i.e. add custom menus and entries? i've spent 2 days going through lots of 'this works for me' type posts on various forums, but no luck. i'm looking for a GUI method. even the lxde wiki advice doesn't work (download 'alacarte') , and i can't see how it ever could as it produces gnome* menu files instead of lxde* menu files. has anyone got a working method involving ,even in part, a gui to add custom menus to easy debian ?

I had issues when trying to update (apt-get update , apt-get upgrade) ... the phone reboots in the middle of the process then everything gets screwed up.
Someone pointed me it could be due to ext2. I am right now creating an ext3 image of it. Just wondering why it is not ext3 ?

run easy debian from MyDocs
from maemo: sudo umount /media/mmc1

theres a bug in dkpg that reboots your phone if the external mmc card is visible/mounted

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I only have this mounts:

[root@m5v3e: /]mount
/dev/loop0 on / type ext2 (loop,noatime,nobh,nodiratime)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (0)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /home type ext3 (0)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs type vfat (0)
[root@m5v3e: /]

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Ok right now I did this time and ext3 filesystem.
I am only trying to update openoffice, and it always reboot while installing openoffice core. Then when I go back to the chroot, it always tell me about a STALE NFS FILE. This is really annoying. aptitude stays there telling it cant do nothing and suggest a bump of useless common commands.
Do someone know how to get rid of those Stale NFS File "false messages" ?
This time at least I was able to fsck.ext3 the file and it did not found any errors. However I cant delete those fake nfs things.
I dont know if all this is useful, I am really disappointed by the update process and the lame messages after the reboots. I would say this kinda sucks. Hope someone can help...

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Those stale NFS files are very stubborn to remove. At least I have not been clever enough to do it. My only solution for this problem is to delete the debian image and start over. Then, when you start downloading programs, always do apt-get clean so that the file system does not get clogged up. To see for yourself how much memory is being used up, do a df while in debian chroot after a download. Then do an apt-get clean. df again and there should be a noticeable increase in memory. Finally, when you have downloaded enough stuff, back up the image so you don't have to start from the beginning again. Can't claim this will fix things for you but I have not had a problem with reboots or stale NFS files since I have followed this protocol.

I completely destroyed my sources.list file
Can someone post a copy of it?
Thanks!

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

How can all this be so unreliable ? the reboots ? the fs corruption ? the need to restart from 0 each time. Downloading lot fo data from the internet, etc...

Yesterday I only wanted to update openoffice, even that fails. Everything fails. Isn't there an elegant solution or diagnostic for wtf is going on there ?

Sorry for the words, but I really think this is sh#t ...

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I guess there are a few bugs here and there but, heck, thats part of the fun!
