Re: Easy Debian Reboots

Re: Easy Debian Reboots

Using the tweaks from this thread for the duration of the updates should help.

Unfortunately Maemo has a very snappish watchdog that reboots your phone if it thinks it hangs due to a runaway process. This is almost certainly triggered when doing mayor package installations with normal process priority. So we'll do the dist-upgrade wit the lowest priority using the nice command:

Code:

nice -n 19 sudo apt-get update

nice -n 19 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I have not tried running apt-get with lower priority but it seems to work. In order to circunvent this problem which I've faced too, I first install the dependencies in small groups in order to reduce system hang time. This way I managed to get gimp, inkscape, octave, R, latex, openoffice and a lot of other softwares installed.
