Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Thank You very much qole for this. I have been mildly interested in NITs, but never really got into buying one. After I accidentally found this thread, I had no choice but to buy one. Possibility to run Debian makes this device soo much more fun. After getting to know OS2008, I do like it too, but Debian is... Debian. Beeing able to run both in parallel is just excellent.

Hi, Qole. Is there any mp3 player for EDTCE wich can mount smb and add folders to play? Or how to play music library from Mac with samba support? Usual player can browse and open and play only files, but not folders. MPD on mac is very difficult to me. In another thread you wrote is possible to mount smb in EDTCE, how?

Thank you

Thank-you to all my beta testers.

Easy Debian and Easy Chroot are in Extras, and I'm very pleased about the solidity of the new scripts. Now, if things go wrong, it will be pretty clear what went wrong.

I hope to do a detailed blog entry soon, on the new chroot scripts and how to use them in your own projects.

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I'm not aware of any music players that do mounting of shares directly. I personally use sshfs on my tablet to mount remote folders on my tablet, and I haven't found any great, lightweight GUI samba browsers/mounters in Debian. Anyone found one?

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

The new .deb (as of yesterday) fails to install on my N800 (running Diablo, MMC-Boot). It worked great eariler yesterday (I installed it, then used debbie sudo aptitude install to install a few new applications), and then the Application Manager reported an update. I tried to install the update to easy-deb-chroot (0.9.17) , it proceeded mostly as you'd expect (specified install directories, etc.) But in the end Application Manager reported "Could not install."

I tried installing it using sudo apt-get, to get a more informative error message. I'll paste what it says here -- looks to me like trouble with the post-install scripts, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Any ideas?

Here's the output when I tried apt-get (with -f, same result):
-------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

The result, at present, is a partial install in which I can't open applications from the Hildon / Maemo menus. But I can run LXDE from those menus, and run Debian applications from there.

I've also tried removing easy-deb-chroot and easy-chroot, rebooting, and reinstalling the above, with the same error.

Any ideas on how I'd fix this?

Best,
Jon

Hi,

Had the same problem. So..
I opened the file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/easy-deb-chroot.postinst
in a terminal window, logged as root, and uncommented line 131.
That is s on line 131, change
#fi
to
fi

ensign, thanks for your workaround (and excellent bug-tracking skills).

That certainly was a silly bug on my part.

I have fixed the bug and uploaded a new version to Extras.

Version 0.9.19 should be available soon in the repository.

If you get 0.9.18, it should be fine; upgraders just get a big empty notice window that you have to close.

but when download finish properly, i got a message error

ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!
tar failed!
(maybe out of space error)
unable to instal easy debian image file

any clue???

a french noob

Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

LABAUDIO:

Well, it says you might be out of space.

If you aren't out of space on the SD card, then your download got damaged.

Run the installer one more time and if you get the same error, then delete the "debian-chroot-img-final.tar.bz2" file and try again.
