Sorry for not having answered for so long. I just created new patched pulseaudio packages [1]. In the archive (and attached to this post) you'll also find a how-to which describes (hopefully) very detailed how to patch your own packages. Please let me know if something is not clear in this how-to!
If my absence has shown one thing then it's that we shouldn't have a situation where a certain step in development is a one-man-show. If one of us gets run over by a bus somebody else should be able to take over. Hence the idea for the detailed how-to.

Chromium still crashes on armel. I'm planning to file a bug report to the Debian maintainers (hopefully before X-mas). But the fact that chromium in Wheezy exists at all in its current state doesn't make me very optimistic.
As an alternative you might want to try midori or xxxterm (vi users will love it while others might still find it ok).

FYI:
I just filed a bug report to the Debian maintainers concerning the chromium bug:

But on the video I ran libreoffice before so n900 loaded it from ram - with reseted swap libreoffice starting in ~17seconds.

I will make video with other programs after reseted swap

Quick guide: (it's my way to do it, you can do it by several other ways)
1) Install bootmenu on n900 - now you can access all emmc 32GB flash (not only 27GB vfat partition)
2) Reboot n900 with open keyboard and choose usb connection
3) Resize 27GB fat partition and create new partition >3.2GB
4) Copy content of image to partition by dd tool (you can do it on n900 or PC)
by example:
5) Change chroot config by editing /home/user/.chroot - remove # from #IMGFILE=/dev/mmcblk0p4
6) It's working
7) You can convert ext3 partition to ext4 by terminal (in this case you must have power kernel, but I think everyone have it)
Type in xterminal on n900

I could not get the device in USB storage by using bootmenu or bootmenu-n900 the phone turned off within 10 sec. I had to use the backupmenu USB storeage option instead.

Thanx.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

I'd like to use Squeeze from the start. There are a lot of images at qole.org/files. Which one should I use? I tried this: http://qole.org/files/debian-squeeze-m5-img.bz2 but LXDE doesn't work then (Xephyr cannot open host window or so)

Thanks

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

The most sophisticated Squeeze image should be the one by Estel [1], however the one you selected should work with LXDE as well.
A precise error output would be helpful.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

Using the old image:

Code:

No window found with the name N/A Easy Debian

Starting Debian echo "chroot is now open!"

Chroot dir specified: /.debian

No image file or partition specified.

ls: /media/mmc1/debian*.img*: No such file or directory

/.debian has a qmount already!

/home/user/MyDocs/debian-squeeze-m5.img.ext2 already mounted on /.debian...

Everything set up, running chroot...

chroot is now open!

Starting Debian /usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -screen 800x480 -br -ac

Chroot dir specified: /.debian

No image file or partition specified.

ls: /media/mmc1/debian*.img*: No such file or directory

/.debian has a qmount already!

/home/user/MyDocs/debian-squeeze-m5.img.ext2 already mounted on /.debian...

Everything set up, running chroot...

stdin: is not a tty



Xephyr cannot open host display. Is DISPLAY set?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

It seems like the image isn't found. Can you please post the full path of your image file and the contents of?:
/home/user/.chroot

It's strange, as Estel's image run's alright. I think I'll stay with it.
Is there any way reduce the image size?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

You can create a new empty image of a smaller size (that still fits all the contents of the current one), format it with some file system (ext2 or ext3; ext4 if you use kernel power) and copy* all the contents from the old to the new image.

*) make sure to keep all the permissions and symlinks, so use rsync with the option -a or some other tool that allows to keep them.
