You need to add "/usr/sbin" to your $PATH and not forget "# aegisctl -s". I.e, follow all steps in post #57.

even in open mode I need to "# aegisctl -s"?

One more question, am I able to unmount .lmz in N9 from terminal (I'm at work and don't have uncompressed image)

EDIT: I tried to follow your post as best as I could, you did a good job, but you lost me with the "add "/usr/sbin" to your $PATH" I'm not too clear on how to do that.

Thanks

Yes. Just once after every reboot. So aegis accept running chroot (the image is first mounted then chrooted).

You need to uncompress the image to use it in you N9. By using a PC desktop (faster) or even the Nokia N9 :
- become root in Terminal :
$ devel-su
password rootme;
- install "xz-utils" :
# apt-get install xz-utils
- come back to user (Ctrl+D), then, as user in Terminal :
$ cd ~/MyDocs
$ xz -d debian-m5-v3e.img.ext2.lzma
It is slow...

EDIT: I tried to follow your post as best as I could, you did a good job, but you lost me with the "add "/usr/sbin" to your $PATH" I'm not too clear on how to do that.
Thanks

Now it is very clear how to do it by using nano (in post #57).

You learn, I also learn : I wasn't aware that xy-utils was available to MeeGo Harmattan, capable of compressing and uncompressing lzma format.

I have updated post #57 with xz-utils use to uncompress the debian image.

About using EasyDebian / HarmChom on Nokia N9 :

- with LXDE, my keyboard (external Bluetooth Stowaway foldable keyboard) doesn't work 100%, numbers and symbols are not available. Just outside LXDE. It is just me or other people has the same problem ? And with N950 keyboard ?

- within LXDE, I can't open any terminal window (htop, etc). But it is not a great problem because I obviously use the Terminal outside LXDE (so I have Harmattan virtual keyboard, etc);

- launching softwares outside LXDE (like "oowriter", etc), there are two bars (top and bottom). Is possible to remove them ?
Answer : Yes ! For OpenOffice Writer outside LXDE and full screen, inside debian as root :
[root@chroot: /] oowriter &
To know the name of the window :
[root@chroot: /] wmctrl -l
So, in this case, it is not oowriter, but "writer" matches the title :
[root@chroot: /] wmctrl -r writer -b toggle,fullscreen
This fullscreen method is not (yet) automatic...
But possibly we will be able to create MeeGo icons to launch oowriter fullscreen, etc.

MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan doesn't yet have a VNC client. But Easy Debian has a dozen to choose. "ssvncviewer" is my choice over the vnc viewers that I tested because it allows typing the password using MeeGo Terminal, has many options including full-screen, etc. As root in debian, install :
[root@chroot: /]apt-get install ssvncviewer

To use without a real keyboard (on N950 or external Bluetooth on N9), fitting the remote screen to N9 screen :
[root@chroot: /] ssvncviewer -fullscreen -scale "854x480" <ip>

With a real keyboard (on N950 or external Bluetooth on N9), there are many keyboard shortcuts : arrows, home/end, page up/down to move, etc (see "ssvncviewer --help" for more information). Here in view only mode :
[root@chroot: /] ssvncviewer -fullscreen -viewonly <ip>

I have fixed the Debian LXDE icon when using Inception+opensh, see post #57.
