Re: Re: [Debian] installer script
Try removing both partitions from your SD card (fdisk then 'd' both partitions) and then running the installer again. When I ran the installer script for the first time (this was a while ago: a day or two after the installer script was published), with an SD card that was already partitioned with Debian (pre-install script version) on it, the partition step failed. I manually set up the partitions and ran the rest of the install steps individually. For later install attempts, I always deleted all the partitions from the SD card before running the installer. You could also try looking closer at the output of the script, to see what errors occurred. (I ran the installer from an ssh session, so I could use my terminal window's scrollback buffer, copy and paste, etc.) Also, you could try partitioning the card yourself (find the instructions in the wiki) and then continue on from there. --- Andrew Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 1:08 PM, Matthew Lane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, I have not tried the 512mb card (it's at home and I'm at college). > I'm not sure how to do what you're talking about arne, but you're > suggesting that I can install a base system and put Debian on that?

Re: Reason for GPS problems found!

A closed company probably would have waited to publicly acknowledge the defect until it was fully researched, not just after it was casually confirmed by a couple developers. Perhaps, the closed company would have even waited to acknowledge the defect until a fix was available, instead of sending out status updates as they investigated it and tried potential fixes. >From reading between the lines on some of the e-mails from OpenMoko staff, it seems that the interference with the GPS receiver was caused (at least in part) by the SD reader being always-on, apparently because the SD firmware is still incomplete or in beta, much like the rest of the OpenMoko firmware. The fix appears to be to enhance the SD reader to only turn on when necessary. From where I sit, that's a two-fer! GPS gets fixed and the SD reader gets enhanced to a more complete state. I'm happy :) Andrew --- Andrew Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Flash drives wear out a little quicker (in terms of writes) than other drives. Putting the two together means you're probably decreasing the length of your drive's life. --- Andrew Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: How many batteries is included?
I'm afraid I have no actual information, just additional, perhaps orthogonal, questions.

I'd love to hear the answer, if someone orders a 10-pack and is willing to reply to the list just to satisfy my curiosity :). The "Spares pack" also heavily implies, but does not seem to specifically state, that it includes _two_ pairs of headphones (one picture shows two sets of headphones, in different colors, which could be interpreted to mean "you'll get two pairs of headphones," or "you'll get one pair of headphones and this photo shows two examples of what you might receive;" the text states "stereo headsets" (the plural form 'headsets' implying I'll receive > 1 pair) but has no number and is immediately below a line that numerically specifies "2" batteries (again, only academic interest: I'll probably just throw the headsets on a shelf and never use them, since I just wanted the batteries and case)). Just curious, as I always am when confronted by ambiguous specifications :) Andrew --- Andrew Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I submitted an order and, other than the very brief confirmation e-mail, have heard nothing. The store website has no additional information about when to expect the order to be shipped or even a general status. Members of the community passing on their experiences, and order numbers so I can find my relative position, has been helpful.
