For best results, make sure you plug in any USB devices before starting the chroot. Networking changes may also need a sync.

You might need to "sudo closechroot," then plug in the device, preferably, get the device working as eth0 in maemo, "touch /home/user/.synchroot", then start up the chroot ("sudo debian").

Thanks for your help, qole....but what type of sync are you referring to?

You might need to "sudo closechroot," then plug in the device, preferably, get the device working as eth0 in maemo, "touch /home/user/.synchroot", then start up the chroot ("sudo debian").

OK, tried to get several USB ethernet adapters I have working in maemo, but no go....have set things up per Wiki info, but I just get error messages 'Device Not Found' when I do '/usr/sbin/usbEthUp.sh'in terminal...

So, I assume that my problem might be just related to specific devices I am trying to use....have tried the following:

A) Belkin F5D5050 (USB 1.0)

B) CablesUnlimited USB-2810 (USB2.0)

C) Linksys USB200M ver.2.1 (USB2.0)

So, perhaps, I need to try a fourth device.....

yeah, you need the right kernel module in maemo before you can start using the device.

Did localepurge and freed up some space...

However, now when I tried to do 'apt-get upgrade, I ended with message that upgrade needed 230MB of space and that I didn't have enough room.

Anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks!

mkdir /media/mmc1/debian-apt-archives
mount -o bind /media/mmc1/debian-apt-archives /debian/var/cache/apt/archives
Note the /media/mmc1/debian-apt-archives path can be anything you want, as long as there is enough space there (50-100 MB).

Then, from inside the Debian chroot, you can issue an "apt-get upgrade"

qole,

Followed your instructions, but now when I do 'apt-get upgrade from Debian chroot terminal window, I get the following:

Code:

#apt-get upgrade
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Also, when I do:

Code:

#apt-get update
E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.

Any suggestions????

Thanks!
