mayhem, groupadd crontab will fix it

there was no /etc/groups file in this image so this fix it thanks!

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

sulu, I'll try your latest image then...

As far as I understand, you recommend LibreOffice over OpenOffice. Is it faster or any otherwise better?

I tried. But on my first two attempts the upload stalled at about 40MB and when I finally succeeded the link generation failed.
So I assume the image is up there somewhere, but I don't have a link to present.

/etc/groups? - I guess that's a typo.
/etc/group is in the image:

Code:

root@i7-2700k:/tmp# unlzma -k debian_wheezy2sulu_armhf.img.lzma 

root@i7-2700k:/tmp# md5sum debian_wheezy2sulu_armhf.img*

It's in the Debian repos, OpenOffice is not (anymore). Therefore you'd probably save a lot of trouble compared to finding an armel/hf version of OO or compiling it on your own.

/etc/group is in the image:

than why i had this error?i didn't install any software when i was trying and i tried both from chroot and lxde.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

I have no idea.

Edit:
I just tried on my secondary device, which apart from running CSSU thumb is almost naked (Easy Debian, rootsh, conky and the default Nokia stuff that came with it.)
Easy Debian is in it's vanilla shape, the only change is the image path that points to my image.
And I have no problems installing Iceweasel.

The md5sums are as follows:[code]$ md5sum debian_wheezy2sulu_armhf.img.lzma
c0f6f1c5f8d398229cb0852e9986e704 debian_wheezy2sulu_armhf.img.lzma

And as always: If you feel like mirroring this image on your own webspace, feel free to do that! In fact I'd be grateful.

Mirrored at http://debian.keithdunnett.net/~sulu...armhf.img.lzma, md5sum verified.

Hosted on my UK-based VPS - no CAPTCHAs, no adverts, wget and curl friendly if you want to download on your N900. Note that decompressing it on the N900 takes a good few minutes.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

I found a bug in my latest image:
It contains a file /etc/resolv.conf which will prevent you from establishing any network connection from within the image, unless you happen to use the same nameserver ip I do.

To fix this just delete the file from your image, or use the fixed image I uploaded [1]. The md5sums are as follows:

Code:

f063dea7727c2621870e334f2bb28814  debian_wheezy3sulu_armhf.img

d2436498fea04d8aed422c005c485939  debian_wheezy3sulu_armhf.img.lzma

This image also contains a file /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks with this content:

Code:

make_resolv_conf(){

        :

}

According to [2] this should prevent /etc/resolv.conf from ever being written again and therefore might save trouble in the future.

@magick777:
Thanks a lot for mirroring the image! Could you host the new one instead please?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

sulu, how you rate chances for any (upstream?) fixes re bugs that you've reported against things in wheezy? Frankly, I lost all hope for it (because it seems to only affect very specific cases, like our armel/armhf implementation), and it made me to revert back to Squeeze-only ED, despite possible security flaws in things you've described..

If not through sheer luck I'd say the chances are exactly zero.

Considering that chromium was removed from armel/hf after my bug report and that the gimp and gparted issues only seem to occur on the N900 I don't see us in a position to fix these bugs, since at least to me they don't seem to be Debian bugs but N900/Fremantle bugs.

I still have a little hope that some fundamental updates to Fremantle might happen if fremangordon succeeds in his attempt to update the kernel.
Otherwise I believe the future of ED might be in jeopardy alltogether since getting a jessie image to run won't be possible through a simple debootstrap but requires a patched glibc.
This means that it will become more likely for software in jessie to break.
