There started appearing many icons and

When i press Deb Img Install icon again
it starts with asking same questions
but after a while it gives following error

ERROR!DECOMPRESSION FAILED!
Unable to install Debain 5/6 image with working audio(main) unknown lzma error


when i press on debian apps icons like open office or synaptic Pkg Mg then it throws error like


EZ-CHROOT ERROR

/home\user\MyDocs/debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2 failed to mount on loop0

mount:mounting /dev/loop0 on /.debian failedevice or resource busy


based on one of the suggetion i tried this on command line

lzma -d debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2.lzma

it shows following

lzma:cannot open output file debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2

What do you get when you type
Code:
ls -l MyDocs/debian*
in XTerminal?

To start from scratch you could remove those files by
Code:
rm MyDocs/debian*

The compressed file seems to have downloaded fine, judging from the file size. But the decompression was incomplete. So just do
Code:
lzma -d MyDocs/debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2.lzma
(This didn't work for you before because "MyDocs/" was missing.)
Perhaps do a reboot first and then make sure nothing else is running during the decompression, which can take quite some time.
Unless your hardware has a problem, there should be no relation to other crashes of apps that you experience.

it says
lzma:cannot open output file MyDocs/debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2

what should i do next

One more thing for the other problem i tried changing the mode of file
chmod 777 filename
and it says file is in read only system
after taking root access also
it says same message so is it such that in maemo i cannot change file access even in root ??

Thanks

mashah: it sounds like your internal memory has become corrupt. Try a restart. Shut off the phone and then start it again. Still not working? Still saying "read only"? Try this:
Code:
sudo fsck.vfat -fy /dev/mmcblk0p1
That will run a disk check and fix on MyDocs.

Perhaps you ran out of space? You need more than 2 GB free plus some swap space.

I have 26gb free.
I restarted the N900
did rm MyDocs/debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2

it went fine
started again
lzma -d debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2.lzma

and now process is running...
it doesn't show any message
does it take 1 hour for unpacking ?

and then this should be fine ??
