I was booting from SD card earlier but I wanted to change my partitions for KDE installation. So I formatted my SD Card.
But now I am not able to install this deb.
If you are having trouble installing, please PASTE your Application manager Log file here, so I can help you.

You can get to it in the application manager menu, Tools > Log

I'm new to all this, and i'm pretty sure I'm missing something, I copy the file to main memory, I can run it, but it says unable to update install tools.....what am I doing wrong?


Figured it out, i needed to disable swap, then it seemed to work like a charm. Thanks

One more question, do i need to enable the 128 mb swap in the CP? Or is the larger swap already enabled by the program?

Swap will be enabled using a swap partition. The partition size will depend on what size card you installed it on.

card size = swap size
1gb = 64mb
2gb = 128mb
4gb = 256mb
8gb = 500mb

Note this is only in use on the SD partition, if you boot to flash, you would need a swap file for flash

For those who were asking, I created a N810 external slot version of the boot from SD deb.

Get it from http://penguinbait.com

"INSTALL TOOLS EXTERNAL 810 SLOT"


After install it can be uninstalled from both Flash and SD.

Thanks!

BTW, you have a typo in your 1st post

1GB
1: 64MB FAT
2: 872GB EXT2 (BOOT)
3: 64MB SWAP

Id like 872GB on my NIT!

Trying the N810 external version.

While writing it gave me an error: unable to install.
The log where reporting errors about unable to umount the card.
The file manager states that it can format the damaged card because it's being used as virtual memory.
Removed the virtual memory from the Settings panel, reformatted the card from the File Manager and trying again.

I am doing this from a freshly flashed unit with a 2Gb MiniSD card.

EDIT: is it supposed to SPEAK after it has cloned the SD and booted from it ???
Because I restarted the tablet (as it umounted the internal card and wanted to start "fresh") and I heard an "hello... something" !

the log file is attached.
From it looks like something is using the external card.
I have no idea of who's the process using it.
the deb file is on the Flash (internal main small flash memory), the only open application is the
Application Manager and I just did a flash of the unit before trying the cloning.

EDIT2: Also tried the n800 version. Removed the external SD card (it complained about having two sd cards). It gave me the very same errors. Card busy and plenty of errors after that.

In both cases it DOES repartition the cards, but is unable to format them.

EDIT3: Trying to "update" it after a reboot.. let's see.

Ok, after reboot worked.
Sorry to bother, but didn't go thru the whole (10 pages long) thread looking for the answer before...
