Too late :D. But judging by the timestamp of the debian-final.img.ext2, it wasn't touched. Actually, it's never been touched :confused:

Code:

~$ ls -l /media/mmc1/debian-final.img.ext2

I guess I'd better figure out what to do about that message to make it clearer.

As for your errors, you need to reboot, open up a terminal, and type:

Code:

sudo debian

and post the errors here.

Code:

~$ sudo debian

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

Yikes. This is a big problem:

Code:

/sbin/debian: line 140: dmlosetup: not found

Aaaagh! Bug in my postinst script! I'll be uploading a new version (0.9.12) immediately.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

Quick bugfix release uploaded straight to Extras.

Grog: When 0.9.12 appears in your list of updates, install it.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

Once you have updated this will I need to reinstall the image file or will this fix the problem with an update?

Thanks

This update is just a small fix for the error Grog was receiving, everything else should be the same as this week's 0.9.10 release. So what I said before still applies:

The next version will have clearer wording in the text box that pops up after the install, so it is very clear that you don't have to download an image if you downloaded it as part of a 0.9 release.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

I'm getting an error when I try your install "Unable to download easy-deb-chroot Application package not found"...any ideas?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

oops i edited my bad advice :o

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

karimderrick: Make sure you have enabled "maemo Extras" in your repository list (Application Manager -> Tools -> Application Catalogue), then see if you can find easy-deb-chroot (with the little red diamond icon) in the list of installable applications.

Anyone else have any help for karimderrick?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

Thanks Qole:

Awesome work, and the latest update solves the install problem.

Many thanks! K.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!

qole, many thanks for Easy Debian !

Two issues:

1) there was an upgrade of 'easy-deb-chroot' yesterday or the day before. Since then 'Debian chroot' crashes. I do not know if error messages are logged in maemo (/var/log is empty) but I can see error messages in the xterm started by 'Debian chroot' before it crashes. When I start chroot from the command line I get the following:

nicola@cumulus:~/svn_pc98$ ssh user@192.168.0.5
user@192.168.0.5's password:
BusyBox v1.6.1 (2008-05-22 10:32:35 EEST) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ sudo chroot /debian/
chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory
~ $

'sudo chroot /debian' worked perfectly until the new upgrade.

2) I have (had) purged most of the heavyweight Debian GNU/Linux applications and installed a few new. Is there a way to remove the entries of the purged applications from the maemo application launcher ?

best regards,
Nicola
