redownload the file, I am assuming you used the browser, I am suspecting its the browser, wget seems to work every time?

Yup, I am using the browser. Seven or eight times now it seems to download fine. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow?

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
I know that I have no doubt done something wrong, but having spent a couple of days going through the forums trying to fix, I am lost.

I have an N810 and I installed the Clone OS to SD Deb to the internal card. I received a message saying it failed. Rebooted and tried again. Same thing.

I have reflashed by N810 and tried to reformat the internal card and every time I reboot, the internal card only has 120MB approx of available space.

I have tried to format in windows (and it says it is successful), but then when i reboot it says still only has the 120MB approx.

I have tried to repartition in Xterm, but get the same result.

I have attached the log from the last attempt at installing. there seems to be a couple of glaring problems, but being a novice, I have no idea what to do to fix.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
Tonight l was able to download the file and install it. Booting from the new SD card is working. However, I have 2 questions:


1. Using apt-get now I am getting this message in this example:
$ sudo apt-get install canola2
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg /), is another process using it?


[Edit: Nevermind about #1. I must have had Application Manager running in the background.]

2. I had KDE installed using flash and a different SD card. How can I reinstall it? Can I just copy the 2 directories from the old card to the new card somewhere?

I am not sure if this would work, as I have stated you should remove that version of KDE prior to booting from SD.

The KDE easy install version is not meant to run from boot from SD. You should just install v3, via KDE v3 installer

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
Is there anyway to re-format?

At present I can't download any programs as it is trying to use that card to d/l them. I don't seem to have the option that has been discussed previously to change that setting in Application Manager.

Any other suggestions to change the system to use the MMC1 to download packages?

thanks for any help

I had a problem on my wife's 810 where the internal 2GB became readonly. The only way to fix was fdisk and reformat the internal 2GB.

I find it hard to believe the internal 2GB card is corrupt totally.

Since you cannot install the deb to fix it, look at the install tools advanced edition :)

This can be used from the command line, provided you have root access.

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=20534

If you do not already have becomeroot or some other root access, you would need to put the device in R&D mode so it can be fixed.

If you send me a PM with a way to contact you, (IM like AIM yahoo google something) I will try to walk you through this if you like.?

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
Can anyone help me with this? On my 810 I installed install-tools-N810e.deb and cloned to my external 8gig card just fine. Then after some thought I realized I'd be better off cloning the OS and running it off of the internal 2gig card instead. I tried to install install-tools.deb but got an error. I tried uninstalling install-tools-N810e.deb from app manager with no luck. I tried disabling the 128mb of swap I had on the internal 2gig card with no luck. Anyone know how I can clone to the internal 2gig card now?

EDIT: No clue what changed, but I tried it one more time several hours later and it worked. Only difference from last time is I had no pending ssh sessions into the NIT :shrug:

If you are using install-tools.deb, you cannot have a card in the external slot, of it will fail.

Not sure what your problems was though? could that have been it?

Posting application log is always helpful :)

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
I'm not sure if I had a card in the slot or not, I want to say no. It doesn't matter now, I'm up and running.... linus is talking to me... or at least was until I rm -rf /root/.linus

When I find some free time, I'll figure out how to change bootmenu initfs flasher time out from 30 seconds to ~3 since /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.conf is on a read only partition. It looks like I may have to re-install fanoushes initfs_flasher with my modified bootmenu.conf file. Something I'm weary of doing.

cd /root/install-tools

edit bootmenu.conf and change timeout

run initfs_flash and it will reboot with new timeout

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
If you disable the telnet and ssh servers, there's enough room to write.
Pull a
Code:

mount -o remount,rw /mnt/initfs/
and you'll be able to write to it. That's what I do, then use joe to edit things.

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
penguinbait- easy enough, thanks for the simple recipe, it worked like a charm.

Benson-I didn't know about the remount option. I have adiquate vintage unix know-how, so I can pick up this linux stuff fairly quickly.... assuming I have the time to sit down and read/do research. Playing with this tablet is motivating me to install linux on one of my PCs.

WOW, thats wierd? Its totally messing up :confused:

Not really sure whats the issue. This is the same card correct?


Can you tell me what brand/size?

This is 800 or 810?

(MAKE SURE ANY VIRTUAL MEMORY IS TURNED OFF IN CONTROL PANEL)

I would try this,

I would suggest removing the card

Shutdown the system

start the system

place the card inside the system

install deb

i hate that bear! after seeing that advert when i was 7 every night i would sneak out of my house with a bucket of water, i mean why ME why only I could prevent them, seems so unfair!

ok jokeing aside

i need somehelp
my internal mmc is a 8gig card with a 512 meg partition (i did a manual step by step clone a while back)

i ran your file hoping to get the larger

8GB
1: 512MB FAT
2: 6.6GB EXT2 (BOOT)
3: 512MB SWAP

i was then planning to install that kde office thing (havent looked into that yet)

however it just installed to the 512meg partition (perfectly i must add) so i looked into removing the 512 meg partition but i cant see how to do that and search throws up pages that havve nothing to do with partitioning

i know if i had an sdhc reader in my pc i could format it with a panasonic memory card formater but i dont have such a reader :(

surely theres a way to format and remove partitions from inside xterm ? while running from flash?

any assistence greatfully recieved (and if theres a way to specify maybe only 3 gigs used for ext2 (that should be surficent :) ) thats even better though an easyier method is better lol

Take a look at this thread

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=20534

It will allow you to specify the sizes of each partition.

I cant make it work for things that are not released. Did fanoush update bootmenu with diablo support yet?

If he has it working I can update the deb?

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
Hi!
I spent several hours flashing and reflashing my N800, trying to find a way to boot from internal mmc card. I did try both ways: the "step by step" method, from this topic and the .deb file, made by mr penguinbait.

The result was similar - proces was uncorrupted, boot menu is functioning properly, but after choosing "boot from Internal MMC card, partition 2, ext2" the screen gets white, with information about booting above. After then Nokia appers to attempt to boot from mmc:
Quote:

Booting from immc2...
during several seconds and sudenly reboots, goes back to the boot menu, or shows message:
Quote:

Booting from immc2 failed, booting from flash...
Result is similar.

I have no idea what to do next. Is there any other solution?
Many thanks, for any clue.

Vect0r.

VectOr,

Have you tried low-level formatting the SD before cloning?
The SD is corrupted.

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
Vector, just reinstall in again, sometimes it takes a few times.

Install deb, reboot
worked?
yes = good
no then
Install deb, reboot
worked?
yes = good
no then
Install deb, reboot
worked?
yes = good
no then
Install deb, reboot


something like that

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
It is sad, but it is true...

1) install .deb -> off/on -> booting from mmc -> restart
2) install .deb -> off/on -> booting from mmc -> dead (I had to move the battery)
3) install .deb -> off/on -> booting from mmc -> restart
4) install .deb -> off/on -> booting from mmc failed
5) install .deb -> off/on -> booting from mmc -> restart

All of them where installed without any problems.
No idea what to do next. I stopped trying.
I will do the LLF, but I don`t think that might help.

Thanks for your advise.

Vect0r.

Posting here is a very good idea. What do you think?

If you clone and went all right without ANY error statment, you need LLF. Most cards larger than 8G needs LLF, except a few. Info about LLF is on the same link you quoted, GeraldKo, thread #2.
Mind to share with us your make of the card and the size?

Thanks.

Sure... my mistake. I have got a Kingtoston SDHC card, 4 gb capacity.
I am afraid, that even LLF did not help :(
I think, thats the end of my adventure with mmc boot.
Thank you very much anyway.
I appreciate your help. This is a very friendly forum.

Well I assume you read the 1st post, also known as instructions?

Make sure "virtual memory" is off in the control panel.

Make sure to save the deb to flash while installing, not on the SD card your trying to destroy.


Finally if you still can't install, POST you error log here

Open application manager, bring up the menu, go to "tools" > Log

Clear the log and install, then paste the log in here so we can see what is happening.

With no log its just guessing?

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
If it would not boot from SD it was not successful. No matter what the application manager thinks.

If bootmenu installed, then you should have just rerun the deb.



So if it is still not working, please run the deb and post the log, I cannot help without the logfile

By the way I also have 4GB Kingston sdhc, and it works great.

Again the best suggestion, clear application log, run the deb, post the log if it fails.
