[Announce] Updated EasyDebian Images

Hello everyone,

I have decided to begin releasing my easydebian image templates, in the hopes that others will have to spend less time waiting for their devices to chug along installing/upgrading software.

The first one I will be releasing is simply an upgraded version of qole's most recent easydebian image from November 28th.

I have pinned pulseaudio to ensure that audio still works within the chroot.

This image is fully updated, and ready to do your bidding.
Grab it at: http://forge.localcoast.net/clients/....img.ext2.lzma

The only known issue with this release is that the /var/cache/apt/archives/partial directory is missing, and needs to be created. (you can use `mkdir` to create the directory). The following command will fix this issue:

Code:

mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial

If I receive positive feedback on this release, I will roll out some templates for web developers (LAMP server stack), and so on.

Please let me know if you have any ideas for some custom templates.

To install the template to a partition (highly recommended), follow these steps: Note that you need to replace /dev/xxx with the formatted ext2|3 partition on the N900 or microSD card that you intend to use.

Code:

sudo su



mkdir /mnt/ed-img

mkdir /mnt/n900sd



mount -o loop /path/to/image.ext2 /mnt/ed-img

mount /dev/xxx /mnt/n900sd



cd /mnt/ed-img



#this command while take a good long time.. (15 minutes?)

tar cf - . | tar xfp - -C /mnt/n900sd



#un-mount the filesystems.

cd ~

umount /mnt/ed-img

umount /mnt/n900sd

Don't forget to update /home/user/.chroot to point to the correct location.
Eg:

Code:

IMGFILE=/dev/mmcblk1p6

Code:

IMGFILE=/media/mmc1/debian-m5-lc-v1a.img.ext2

Notice: I hereby disclaim any damage(s), or issue(s) caused by the use of these/this modfied file(s). Only make these changes if you already have an issue, and are looking to fix it. Be sure to backup all user data before making changes.

UPDATE: A new image was released, aimed at web developers. You can download it at http://forge.localcoast.net/clients/....img.ext2.lzma
This image contains all the package upgrades of the m5-lc-v1a image, but adds apache2, mysql, php, and phpmyadmin.
The mysql root password for this image is "password".
