Re: Continuing development of Debian on NITs

Ive still been working on it. In maemo our audio out is /dev/dsptask/pcm3 but we have no dsptask directory....i ran the alsa utils that build ALL audio devices and tried a handful of them and none worked... tried modprobing pcm-snd and related as well.... nothing i did worked...

we missing a kernel driver??? dunno... blew up my deb today and have to start over.

non fatal errors new scripts

Code:

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/tablet-powersave missing LSB informationupdate-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>

Setting up tablet-user (1.1-1) ...

Username for the tablet default user:user

adduser: The GID 29999 does not exist.

dpkg: error processing tablet-user (--configure):

 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

looks like the gid not setting right.

fatalsaint: I intentionally kept out libgtkstylus of nit-env-x as this doesn't install any GTK stuff as such (for barebone X purposes). Any of you xfce4/GNOME people writing a nit-env for these yet? :)

Yes, but unfortunately, now post bootstraping fails:(:

And don't wory, i am reporting this in the bug tracker;).

p.s. Shure, i could try to make a new "nit-evn" that could involve Gnome, I would call it "nit-evn-gnome" for full-blown Gnome with everything and a "nit-evn-gnome-minumum" for just the environment and nothing ealse:rolleyes:, the only problem is that i am not shure how, could you provide some information? I know that it would definitely include "apt-get -f install" gnome for "nit-evn-gnome" and "apt-get -f install gnome-desktop-environment" for "nit-evn-gnome-minumum", also, it would install matchbox-keyboard+ libgtkstylus for both. and also edit gdm for auto-login.

Re: Continuing development of Debian on NITs

yeah but apt-get install nit-env-x works now with a dpkg reconfigure... going to see if icewm will load and reboot.

Re: Continuing development of Debian on NITs

had to add the user manually and set both the root and user password but its working... posting from a basic icewm with epiphany atm...

Re: Continuing development of Debian on NITs

I tryed apt-get install nit-evn-x and dpkg --configure -a and nothing is working :( It is even complaining about terminfo witch is preventing nano from getting launched during the network-setup proses and that causes problems:(.
I believe that the reason whi NOTHING is working is because thay all depend on each other witch means that if even one error occurs with one of those packages, dpkg refuses to configure enny of those packages because, allmost like a loop, the first package depends on the last package witch depends on the middle package witch depends on the first package to be configurd:

Nokia-N800-23-14:/# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up tablet-network-setup (1.1-1) ...
Error opening terminal: xterm.
dpkg: error processing tablet-network-setup (--configure):

This is driving me CRAZY!!, no matter what gets changed or what i do, nothing is working. But i am not giving up!:D

Re: Continuing development of Debian on NITs

I got the exact same errors you did after the base system install part when breaking down the chroot... but I had NO problems installing apt-get install nit-env-x directly after that. Even hal configured and all that... apt-get install dpkg --reconfigure was done after I was done installing everything else.

Did you totally start over or just start with the new installer?

Also I don't know if you guys did anything to the wireless side of the house STS but last night my wireless stayed up in debian the entire night... first time that has ever happened in a booted debian environment. Don't know if you changed something or if just my install went better.. no idea. My current only issue with debian is the sound... once sound works for audio - then the biggest issue will be Video.. with those 2 operational we'd have a completely re-worked and alternative to Maemo OS for the tablet.. retaining all the capabilities of maemo.

ETA: B-man.. looking at your errors.. try running apt-get install xterm ... looks like that might be what's causing tablet-network-setup to fail.

Re: Continuing development of Debian on NITs

Is there any way you can have a standard style repository that contains the packages from the SVN? Being able to "apt-get install" a package is my preferred way to get something, rather than checking it out and using dpkg...

Something like this python script might work.. (run from maemo!):

Code:

import deblet_installer



deblet_installer.setup_chroot("/chroot")

deblet_installer.build_apt_repos_install("/chroot")

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/deblet.list should then contain a reference to /nit-repository that you can use to apt-get the Deblet debs.

Re: Continuing development of Debian on NITs

Yeah I was kinda thinking that you would have some kind of server-side script that checked the packages out into a public repository... Maybe I should set something up over at qole.maemobox.org...
