PanDebian

[Gausen]

If not already done, try LXTerminal -> su -> passwort ->synaptic,


that works for me

Thank you! It worked!

I'm a big fan of Debian, will have to try this out. Thanks for your work.

i just installed pandebian loopback mode on my 2nd scard fat32. I see the small icon on the upper left corner. The problem is when I open either synaptic manager or software sources nothing happens. I can open the terminal and root terminal but I always get a wrong password message. Any help would be really appreciated. I don't want to reinstall this thing all over again. <_<

 

[Linux-SWAT]

sudo synaptic

 

[dibad0011]

Thanks Linux-Swat. I have been able to install chromium browser, libreoffice and some other apps.Another (newbie) issue I have:when I download any file from that browser it goes to a "Downloads" folder.Can someone tell where that folder is?. I can't find it anywhere.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It's probably inside PanDebian, which should be mounted somewhere.


Type:


mount


Inside a Zaxxon terminal.

I knew this would come up and asked previously on how to backup a PanDebian install to restore it. Well, there were no working answers!


So NOW I have just upgraded my SD to a 64GB. I copied over all my PanDebian files needed.


/mnt/pnd/Pandebian...


/mnt/utmp/Pandebian...


/usr/share/applications/desktop files...


I also edited the launcher files and desktop files to to new SD-card name. All these had Pandora32 and are now changed to Pandora64 since the new SD card is now at /media/PANDORA64


NOW the problem. Shortcut on the desktop asks for the password but never successfully starts PanDebian.


I open Terminal and try to run the launcher manually and look for any problems


$ /mnt/pnd/PanDebian-PanDebian-30481/launcher


/media/ram/PanDebian/mount.sh: line 15: exec: chroot: not found


/media/ram/PanDebian/mount.sh: line 15: exec: chroot: not found


I open terminal and su to a root cli.


From root I go


# /mnt/pnd/PanDebian-PanDebian-30481/launcher


THIS DOES start PanDebian and instead of just the computer icon I now get an entire menu-panel but it was on top of my Pandora default menu. I moved it to the top.


Anyone have an idea on how I can get this working from my regula user with doing a complete install from scratch again?

hmmm, apparently it wont fit on a 16 MB sd card

 

[Askarus]

MB?


Do you mean GB?

 

[apersonthinks]

Next time the installer is updated lenny should be removed from the debian versions to choose. Its dead.

 

[fritata]

MB?


Do you mean GB?

No, i mean megabytes

 

[fritata]

hmmm whenever i get to the part where you choose your distro, it says package retrieval failed. are the links broken?

 

[fritata]

"Failed getting Release" the link works on my pc

You need much more than 16MB for a debian chroot (more like 200MB just for the basic stuff). Also, make sure you have a stable internet connection and that for the distro you choose anything but lenny.

Have you tried other internet applications such as PNDStore/PNDManager or at least the ping command?

 

[fritata]

The PND manager was never able to update anything. Chrome works, warzone 2100 online multiplayer works

Dude! invest in a bigger SD card.


It's normal for secondary storage to be larger than RAM, not smaller!


That gave me a laugh anyway.

 

[Solstar]

can anyone tell me what's the difference(advantages?)of pandebian over the angstrom?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

A lot of packages.
