Wooooo that was a marathon help run, it was!
There's always so many things that can go wrong when trying to assist someone doing the things way off.

I also promised to help a friend who is going to get a N9, and wants to install nitdroid on it I am a bit worried on how it will go as he is not that familiar with all sysadmin related things.... Well anyway I am lucky I can access his desktop with VNC so I hope it will go well.
