Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

Just a request, not a demand:
If you create images based on mine, could you please NOT put "sulu" in the file name?

I've had some requests for help with "my" images, but since I usually don't try other images I don't really know what's going on there.
If YOU create an image, then it is YOU who deserves the credit (and needs to take the blame ;) ). So people should first turn to you if they need help.
I'll happily help out if I can, but I don't like to stand in the first line in these cases.

Thanks!

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

I certainly don't think I contributed enough to call it mine, but it is fine by me to rename it. I haven't seen any posts about problems or questions about the image. I can only assume it is working without issues then...

Will remove the mediafire link this weekend so there is only one 'official' link to the file from qole.

If t-b didn't change the passwords, then they should be "user" and "root".

I tried to use them. They are not correct.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

As far as I know I haven't changed any passwords - because I didn't need them. I used debian chroot for root access (no pw needed) and also user can be accessed without pw.

Can't test right now due to a recent re-install.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

It happens when I use terminal from lxde session. When debian chroot are used password not needed, it is true.

P.S.

Ok,user just not setup. Password must be set with

Code:

$ sudo passwd user

from debian chroot and to add it to sudoers with

Code:

$ sudo visudo

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

Hello,

First of all I would like to say thanks for the images and the effort put in this.

I have a little problem coming from my side and I would need a little bit of help.

I already used Easy Debian on my previous N900 without any real issue, but today I tried to set it up on my second N900 on which I have made some significant changes.
So I will detail here the changes I made on my second N900 (and are related somehow to Easy Debian) and the error message I get when I try to launch an image.

First the error is :

Code:

~ $ debbie

Starting Debian shell...

Chroot dir specified: /.debian

No image file or partition specified.

ls: /home/user/MyDocs/debian*.img*: No such file or directory

/.debian has a qmount already!

/media/mmc1/debian_jessie2sulu_armhf.img already mounted on /.debian...

Everything set up, running chroot...

chroot: can't execute 'su': Exec format error

So apparently a problem with su.

The changes I've made to the second N900 (basically I wanted for the root password to be required for becoming root) :

Code:

/etc/sudoers.d/01sudo

user ALL = PASSWD: /usr/sbin/gainroot



/home/user/.profile

alias su='root'

I also had to change /etc/sudoers.d/chroot.sudoers from

Code:

Defaults env_keep+=GTK_MODULES

user ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

Code:

Defaults env_keep+=GTK_MODULES

user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/debian

so that the root password is required when using su (or root) command, but even without changing the chroot.sudoers file it still gives the error.

How can I correct this without giving away the security put in place (root password required to become root)?
Should I put something else in /etc/sudoers.d/chroot.sudoers?

I've got the same error after installing a back-up image (created with BackupMenu) on a 2nd N900 I am using.
Everything works fine except Easy Debian. Not sure if it is a "su problem", the "Exec format error" part of the error seems to point to a kernel incompatibility.

Haven't had a lot of time to investigate the problem and interested in a solution as well.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

Are your N900s running kernel power? The armhf images need it.
