dan, you boot from mmc, right? What I would do is boot back into flash, then tar up my /home/user/ dir and put it on an expansion card. Then when your system complains about needing stuff, add missing said file back?

BrentDC, I boot from mmc. I don't understand what tar is. I'm a newbie at this command line. If someone has posted the file I need I don't see it. Thanks for your help the past few days.

Ummm.... yeah. I forgot about that.

Look for an attachment in ~3 minutes. (I'm bumping the thread here, then I'll attach it from my N800.)

Thanks Benson, Fatalsaint and BrentDC for helping me fix all the icon problems.

I just updated my application manager and there are a bunch of demos and stuff for QT4. My hunch was right. I think we are going to be treated to whole bunch of custom QT apps including I hope KDEv4 just for our tablets.

Qole can you help me figure out what is wrong in this install of Alsa-base, etc... I followed your instructions to the letter in earlier post on this thread. I have two issues as follows :
1.) I keep getting the dreaded ' out of space on devise ' I have several gb's of space. I've checked online and it seems pretty common for Debian install but no solution for N800. Any workaround you know of? I've done apt-get autoclean, apt-get clean all, apt-get clean, and gtkorphan to remove orphan packages.
2.) When I type in alsa-utils start I get, ' Invalid command! done. (see below)

[root@Debian: /]apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils libasound2-plugins alsa-oss
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
python-uno libdb4.3
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
libasyncns0 libpulse0 libsamplerate0
linux-sound-base lsof
Suggested packages:
apmd pulseaudio
The following NEW packages will be installed:
alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils libasound2-plugins
libasyncns0 libpulse0 libsamplerate0
linux-sound-base lsof
0 upgraded, 9 newly installed, 0 to remove and 200 not upgraded.
Need to get 3339kB of archives.

/usr/bin/mandb: can't write to /var/cache/man/1692: No space left on device

(goes on for a page so I deleted )


Setting up libpulse0 (0.9.10-2) ...
Setting up libsamplerate0 (0.1.4-1) ...
Setting up libasound2-plugins (1.0.16-1+b1) ...

It seems to have load though, then when I do the following I get:

[root@Debian: /]tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/alsa-files.tar.gz
usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
etc/asound.conf
[root@Debian: /]/etc/init.d/alsa-utils start
Setting up Alsa...amixer: Invalid command! done.
[root@Debian: /]

Then I figured what the heck, it seems to have loaded why not try to get in.

Can you walk me through this. I seem to be in (or not, dunno???)

P.S. I have no idea what I'm doing(as usual)

TIA

Are you sure you have a few GB of space free?

at your Debian prompt, type
Code:
df -h
and look for the one that just has a "/" under "Mounted on" ... it should be the first line. What's your available space?

I'm also thinking you might need to do a "fsck.ext2" on your Debian partition.

I have Debian on mmc1 and the card shows I have 3.5gb still free.
Here is result of ' df -h '

[root@Debian: /]df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
sysfs 1008M 999M 0 100% /sys
[root@Debian: /]

Yikes! But I have 3.5gb available on that card. Please explain? TIA
