I've tried up to 32GB w/ ext3. I've tried allowing the PD installer to format it, using GParted on the P to format it and formatting it on my Linux VM. No joy. I've tried a loopback file up to 3900, which was the largest it would accept. No joy. It is a bit telling that every permutation of...

I tried it with a 4GB and 16GB ext3 direct install and as a loopback file on a 64GB ExFAT.

Well, yet another attempt following the instructions above "exactly", no joy. I agree on the shutdown versus a restart. A restart usually resulted in a lock up that required a Pandora key + Power to resolve. I hoped using shutdown would solve it for me, but not so. Unfortunately, the package...

Always the glutton for punishment, I am trying one more time and I am going to look through both bash sessions for any errors (or warnings). I did get to step 21, but I didn't have to move the panel to the bottom, the installer placed the icon to the right of my wifi icon. My connection is good...

I made several more attempts following Shenmue's instructions and multiple variations, all with the same results. Here is my pndrun_PanDebian-PanDebian-24692.out: ======================================================================================= PND             ...

You are correct that it creates a Pandebian.pnd, but not a Pandebian Pandebian. I finally got it and have since gone through half a dozen permutations and still no joy. I am completing another lap now. Maybe it will work. I did look at the out files and there were no errors.

Thank you (I think :) ). I tried again. I see a few differences between your instructions and my attempts. Unfortunately, I followed your method and get the same results. However, I can't figure out how to delete Pandebian Pandebian. So I am not sure that it was deleted/replaced between...

Well I tried the direct install and ended up with the same thing. An icon with two options, Run and Logout. I think I'm done for awhile. Thanks for the suggestions.

I would still like to know what file system you guys are using for your direct install, or did the installer take care of the partitioning and formatting?

I stuck with the default loopback file size of 2GB. Someone earlier said up to 4GB, but when I tried that, it wouldn't get past the filesystem check in the install process. When you look at your applet menu, are there also only two options (run, logout) or do you have a third option of...

I've completed the installation several times. I selected squeeze and loopback. If I have to carry and swap cards, I'm not sure I'm interested, but  i may move some things around and try direct later. What filesystem did you use on the SD for direct? I normally use OpenBox, but I've tried this...

That's the trick isn't it.

There were three pandebian related .out files. I looked at each, there are one line about an ioctl error and failure removing a directory. I am not sure if that is a problem or not. What does success look like? Where is Synaptic installed? I have an icon in the upper left corner that has a Run...

I don't know about notaz's update. I have run the OS update within the last few days, so I should be running the latest that is available in the repositories. Where can I find the pndrun log? I may try direct, but I am not necessarily interested in card swapping for particular apps. That is...

I am working over in the Pandebian thread trying to get that working. I agree with edge that it may be the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, it is deader than this project and the developer has been MIA for over a year.

I could not find the pndrun log. The card is named PANDORA64GB and my loopback file (pandebian) is in the root directory. I have rebooted a few times and rerun Pandebian pandebian. I get the prompt for the admin password and some screen flash, but no joy. When I execute the Pandebian pandebian...

OK. I am running the latest SZ. The card where I am putting the loopback file is a 64GB card with FAT. I hit ctrl-c when it said the base system was installed and it seemed to be stuck. The installation completed, but it won't seem to run. I have the icon on the desktop and neither it or...

Folks, I assume this project is long dead. After trying Pandian and finding it not working and defunct, I am trying here. Unfortunately, no much in terms of instructions. I've attempted to install sid, wheezy and squeeze, each one fails. Can this work and be useful?

"So, if nothing goes too wrong..." Obviously not familiar with the Pandora crowd. Famous last words. ☺

I agree. LS has done a great job. I gave it several tries. I assume my SD(s) are not compatible and I am not willing to buy another one just to try it. If it worked with my existing SDs, I would be using it.
