The compressed image contains an ext2 file system. So you have to unlzma the image (the destination or its file system doesn't matter) and tell Easy Debian to use that image.
To do that make sure the chroot is closed (via the corresponding Easy Debian icon), edit /home/user/.chroot and enter the destination path in the IMGFILE line.
If you extracted the image to MyDocs this line should look like this:
If you ned further assistance please post the contents of your /home/user/.chroot file and this output (including the full path):
btw: Are you running kernel power (it's part of CSSU)?
To do that make sure the chroot is closed (via the corresponding Easy Debian icon), edit /home/user/.chroot and enter the destination path in the IMGFILE line.
If you extracted the image to MyDocs this line should look like this:
Code:
IMGFILE=/home/user/MyDocs/debian_wheezy3sulu_armhf.img
Code:
md5sum /path/to/your/extracted/image/file

here's what i did in case anyone else wants it:
1. install tightvncserver via symantic
2. go to maemo terminal
3. type : debbie
4. type : tightvncserver -geometry 1400x1050 :1 (or whatever resolution your pc has)
5. type startlxde1
you will be asked to enter a password for users to use when connecting at step 4
when you connect from your pc specify ipaddress:1 e.g. 192.168.1.1:1
amazing stuff.
tightvncserver :1 -geometry 1400x1050
However, when I try to run startlxde1 I get:
** ERROR **: Only one lxsession can be executed at a time. Aborting...
I've tried multiple times, even after a full reboot of the N900 to no avail. Any ideas?
I'm using the m5estel image, by the way.
Thanks to qole, estel, sulu, and many others in this thread. This is a fantastic program which adds even more value to the great N900.

If I try your command without having an ED window open it works. I can also start a new ED vnc session on a new DISPLAY when I already have an ED window open:
Code:
tightvncserver :2 -geometry 1400x1050
I'm not familiar with tightvncserver but it seems to me there is no way to connect it to an already running X session. For my HTPC I deliberately chose x11vnc because it's able to open a vnc session on an already running X session which means you can access the same desktop via vnc that you see on your machine.
To make it short, with this command I was able to run a vnc session on the ED desktop:
Code:
x11vnc -display :1 -shared
Code:
xtightvncviewer 192.168.1.3::5900

I was able to start on :2, so thanks for that.

I might install x11vnc just to test this.
