[Freedombox-discuss] Demonstrating FreedomBox at FOSSASIA Summit 'Stand or Assemblies'

2017-02-10 Thread Nikhil Rayaprolu
Hello Everyone,
I am planning to go for the FOSSASIA summit , which is being organized in
March 17-19 in Singapore. I have a thought of demonstrating FreedomBox to
participants through stall/stand over there.

Link to FOSSASIA summit page ; http://2017.fossasia.org/
So I would like to take your opinion on this thought.
Thank You,
Nikhil Rayaprolu

Oh sh
It was the µSD card. I bought a new one, from one of the big names, no
no-name, and it just booted!
Such a stupid issue, how can a µSD card resist to boot??? That one goes
into the recycle bin. 
- Okay, I am happy to confirm that the LIME image is working, if issues
arise, I will report them. If not, I will make screen-shots when I am
setting up my new box and update the wiki.
Thanks to all who helped me going through this!

[Freedombox-discuss] Disks: Error expanding partition

2017-02-10 Thread permondes - sagen
So I am setting up the box again. 1st step is to expand the 4 GB
partition to cover the entire 32 GB card. However, as the error
correctly says, the partition is being used: by Plinth from which I
started the DISKS command, I assume:

> Error expanding partition: ('disks', '', "Warning:
> Partition /dev/mmcblk0p2 is being used. Are you sure you want to

The issue was reported for Plinth:
https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/issues/627

I think it must be an issue for parted, because '--script' should never
prompt for user intervention, according to its man page.

I've updated the Disks manual to mention it:
https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual/Disks

If we find some work-around, we can add it there.
