Yes, I think that is the problem as well. I think kernel power was not copied from the original N900 using backup menu so probably needs to be (re-)installed or fixed. Haven't got access to the backup N900 right now, so cannot do a uname -r to check.

Last time I used the backup N900 I checked the application manager and I only had the option to un-install kernel power so it appeared to be installed. Didn't check the kernel version then.

Maybe I need to do a re-install.

apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

Will give it a try tomorrow.

No kernel power for me on my second N900.
Will look into this next days as I don't have time right now.
We will see if it works after installing kernel power.

I can confirm this worked. Backup menu is not copying the kernel (seems kinda obvious in hindsight) but using the reinstall option works fine.

Just had time to try this, and I also confirm that once kernel power installed the armhf image works.

Thanks.

Hey,

I seem to have some trouble to upgrade debian_jessie2sulu_armhf image.
At first when I did a "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" I had an error of this kind (translating to English, so the error message could be different but the idea is the same) :

Code:
dpkg : unrecoverable fatal error, abandon
group crontab unknown in the permissions file (statoverride)
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
So after some research I did as root :

Code:
mv /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride.bak
And the problem seemed to be solved, but now I have a second error about libc6_2.19-18+deb8u6_armhf.deb :

Code:
WARNING: this version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 2.6.32 or later. Please upgrade your kernel before installing glibc.
The installation of a 2.6 kernel _could_ ask you to install a new libc first, this is NOT a bug, and should *NOT* be reported. In that case, please add lenny sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list and run:
apt-get install -t lenny linux-image-2.6
Then reboot into this new kernel, and proceed with your upgrade
Should I do that? From what I know the Debian image is using the Maemo kernel (?) so I can't really upgrade that (true?). How to solve this, because I can't upgrade the system and can't install new packages.

Has anyone any idea?

Version of libc in the image is created by sulu and is version glibc_2.19-18+deb8u4. glibc is updated in the repo but it is not compatible with the kernel that is why we needed sulu to create a compatible version before.
For now I suggest to ignore the update and put the package on hold (I probably should have done that in the image..).

Changes are mentioned below - not sure if the updates are really needed.

What a coincidence!
Just this week I tried to create a first Stretch image, and took the chance to also build some new glibc packages for Jessie. [1]

As for Stretch, I have bad news. Stretch comes with glibc 2.24 and some essential software in Stretch makes it mandatory to ship at least 2.23. I managed to build 2.23 for kernel 2.6.28, but actually running that build on the Maemo kernel immediately causes a segfault.
So unless someone (certainly not me) plans to either bring a more recent kernel to Maemo (at least 2.6.32, preferably 3.2 or newer), or restores glibc's ability to run on kernel 2.6.28 just for us, Jessie will be the last Easy Debian release ever.

Even when putting the package on hold I can't seem to install new packages ; I get a dependency error for the following packages : libc6-dbg, libc6-dev, libc6-pic.

And when I want to install vim I get :

Code:
vim : Depends: vim-runtime (= 2:7.4.488-7) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgpm2 (>= 1.20.4) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install'  with no packages (or specify a solution).
What should I do now?

Sorry to ask a maybe basic question, but what should I do with that package? Or maybe should I ask where to uncompress it?

Too sad... this will mean the end of an up to date Debian system on our N900... really waiting for the Neo900 now.

Can you post this output please:
Code:
dpkg -l | grep libc
I suspect that some of the packages you want to install depend on the libc6 packages you mentioned. Those are not installed by default and once they get an update from Debian my patched packages won't be compatible anymore.
That's why I upload update archives from time to time. These archives include the full set of patched glibc packages so you can manually install (dpkg -i) them.

What happens if you run apt-get -f install ?

Well, it was always just a matter of time. Back then I was actually quite surprised that I got Jessie to run at all.
I think in the grand scheme of things we just have to realize that the N900 is a legacy device now, not because it is slow but because its software is basically unmaintainable, and we're hitting increasingly harder walls as time goes on.

The only thing I can offer now is to try to build Jessie backports on demand for software that is available in Stretch.
