[s]Dunno why using qole's chroot scripts is an requirement.[/s]. (Thanks Bundyo!)
If you are root and mounted mtdblock4 on /debian,
just run "chroot /debian"
Code:
mkdir -p /media/mmc2/cache/apt/archives mv /var/cache/apt/archives/* /media/mmc2/cache/apt/archives rmdir /var/cache/apt/archives ln -s /media/mmc2/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives
Just uninstalled fennec and xulrunner, helped me a lot
EDIT: In Application manager -> Settings, 'Use MMC to download packages' would download the .deb's in /media/mmc2, right?

it seems that all those that have a broken update have used apt-get rather then app manager. also, have those used the -unlocked package?

Thanks a lot qwerty12!
I saw this sdk but was not sure that it's safe to use is on the device directly.
So, in case people are also looking for a repository list, here it is (included maemo community, not nokia-official):
I have unlocked too, but was in the blue pill mode (the normal one right? woops, am not a matrix fan :P). I didn't use APT CLI to upgrade, I used the GUI. A few times I got an error about dependancies but I think later it was fixed.
Also, notice
Code:
deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/updates/diablo-1/ ./
My software version is still the old one, but I think the upgrade is complete because I have newer microb, newer modest, and the device still runs. Maybe it is because I installed a 3rd party kernel.
I'm pretty sure Nokia would like to hear about problems and feedback. Maybe, a summary of the problems experienced is a good idea. My issue is that I never know how people have modified their device. Maybe 3rd party packages should go in /usr/local or something? Or /opt? Besides that, the main issue is the out of space problem.

When will I learn to do a backup before accepting the next upgrade? Oh I know... NOW (too late, though)

Ok, i installed the Operating System Update that showed up when I went into red pill mode. I assume that was the latest upgrade, it rebooted the system and all that stuff, but when I went to about it still shows 23-14 as the build.
Anything wrong here?

Cuz, you know, it's only a system software upgrade. Who gives a toss if it isn't perfect, as long as it works for most of the time? And really, what does Nokia care about people complaining? After all, they already bought the things, so stuff 'em, right?
