Hey, Im following
http://www.androidfanatic.com/cms/community-forums.html?func=view&catid=9&id=2248
For how to set debian up. However chmod 4755 * fails for me saying operation not permitted when I am cd /sdcard/debian I read through a couple other posts on google and the site above where it says people can on versions pre 1.5 but once on 1.5 US it breaks the su whitelist some?
Anyways, Anyone have some ideas for me, as the google trail went cold for me as the people who had this issue was already at the end of the threads with no resolve or joy. Thanks. =)
too much in 'yo chmod!
hey i have set up mine. you just gotta forget about the chmod and just skip it and do the rest of the steps then type exit. then once it reboots, just type
su
cd /sdcard/debian
sh bootdeb
then it should be running
Yea I thought so too on the chmod step, so I tried going to the next, the installer.sh and said not allowed or something.
I tried running boot debian and so, and it came up with the load screen, then it had a chmod issue and then the G1 restarted. So what am I missing here? =/
hmm, im not entirely sure. when i installed it i simply
su
cd sdcard/debian
chmod 4755 *
su sh ./installer.sh
exit
su
cd sdcard/debian
sh bootdeb
Well I was reading other posts, Could it be a issue that Im already running apps off the EXT2 part of my SD card? I have the debian files on the FAT32 area. I saw some people saying that might be a cause of the issue?
if your debian dir is on fat32, you need to delete the first line of installer.sh script
Ok did that and the installer.sh ran did alot of not found errors then when I tried to bootdeb it looked like it was trying to load, then it rebooted the G1. =/
Any other ideas? Also if I wanna try to uninstall the work it did, what does it create to delete?

Which image are you using? There's one for fat32 and one for ext2. Try this: download fat32 version http://www.androidfanatic.com/cms/unofficial-app-repo.html?func=fileinfo&id=21
you may need to remount when entering the following commands in the terminal
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
place zip file on sdcard. go to terminal and enter:
su
unzip "whatever_your_debian_file_is_named".zip (not sure what its called)
cd "whatever_your_debian_file_is_named"
cp installer.sh /sdcard/gscript
then go to Gscript and load installer.sh, before you save, delete the line that says "./fsrw"
then save this edited script as installer1.sh
go back to terminal
cp /sdcard/gscript/installer1.sh /sdcard/debian
cd /sdcard/debian
su
sh ./installer1.sh
sh ./bootdeb
if that doesnt work out try rebooting and doing these commands
cd /sdcard/debian
sh ./bootdeb
to delete, go to debian directory then
rm -r debian
afaik, all the data from debian is self-contained in debian.img
Ill try that, btw yea I have that file you linked to. But before I do this, the stuff your mentioning, wont affect the fact that I have my apps installed to the SD right? Mounting and unmounting things.

No, your apps should be safe. If you're using the link I posted, you need to put debian on /sdcard which is fat32
you're apps2sd should be mounted at /system/sd and should be unaffected by your debian installation/uninstallation.
I'm not sure if remounting /system is required, but i think it allows you permissions so you can use the utilities in /system/bin. I would remount just to save myself time.
Btw, I could not chmod my debian directory, but debian runs fine for me.

Oops, my bad. Should be:
cd /sdcard or cd /system/sd depending on where you put your debian directory
the you can
rm -r debian
Jonny your great. =) The remounting thing worked! Then ran the installer, got alot of not found, but after that all, I booted into Debian, and did the onetime.sh to set the unix pw.
(Which for the record to anyone in the future doing a search on this once your in debian, do cd scripts and enter that folder and type sh onetime.sh )
Now onto the next step and adding a GUI Which gonna attempt that all now.
Edit: And Grr... not gonna try to do the rest of the repos on EDGE connection.. Gotta wait till I get home. =( (Wifi rules for linux starts lol)
I think the image we installed is only 750MB so from what I've read, it is advisable to resize your debian img. Thats another world of brain hurt for me... but there is this guy with this thread who is offering to upload his custom image.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528262
5 more votes by the end of the day and maybe he'll upload it.
Well... I already did the resize heh. Got a 2.3GB image on right now, which fits on my 4GB, since I have a 1GB EXT2 Partition and rest is fat32.
I used ubuntu to make a image and mount both images and copied the data from one into the other, then did the tasks after I booted debian again to get everything smooth again. =) But I wont stop him from uploading his image if it has a GUI already installed, which is what im after atm. =)
Update, So far having a lil issue getting the desktop to show up on VNC, however I did get other tasks done and stable running. Also came across this post which is vital as the default install seems to want to give you a repo that 404s too much so before you start your tasks, after you install debian and get into it, do this stuff.

For those (like me) who get errors when apt-get'ing thightvncserver and/or lxde:
(from the thread at androidfanatic.com)
instructions
cd /etc/apt
nano sources.list
now add
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
after the first one
then hold down the trackball and hit o
then hit return (to save the new sources.list)
then hold the trackball and hit x (to exit nano)
then type
apt-get update
apt-get install tightvncserver
apt-get install lxde
That did the trick for me at least.

Maybe you are right.
It will be easy for newbees if a developer can insert the script into apk file.
i dont think is complicated. after you have webtopMOD just run those commands on lxterminal.

currently testing a nightly build
should be preatty SWEET!
Before i get too excited. Was it 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 webtop? And can you restart and begin using chrome with out redoing anything? ^_^ I'll do this right away. GA Vs LSU is over. If you got this far it not to hard BTW... and if it is so be it. it is the XDA Dev Forum

So WebtopMOD is required first?
I went to do this last night, but unfortunately need a larger SDCard! LOL
I see the linuxdisk is 4GB from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093790
Prerequisites says 2GB free though. Maybe someone can give me some insight. If all I need is 2GB free give or take, I can do this with current free space, but if I need 4GB for linuxdisk and another 2GB free I am sol until I get a larger SDCard.

If you want some free space in stock webtop 2.3.5, you can move /usr/share/docs and /usr/share/icons to /data directory and link to /data. This will give 80 MB free space.

80MB won't help overall. We're talking GB here, because from the WebtopMOD thread if I interpret correctly I would need 6GB free to do this mod.

I think it is related with DNS settings. Please use 91.189.89.223 instead of launchpad.net
You should check your /etc/resolv.conf file. in that file, correct dns ip addresses should be set

Pay attention people
So, if you are having issues running the wget commant, try this:
click on individual links and download all those 3 files.
They will be downloaded in your download folder then run these commands:
cp /mnt/sdcard/download/chromium-browser_4.0.283.0~svn20091226r35283-0ubuntu1~ucd1~karmic6_armel.deb ~/
cp/mnt/sdcard/download/libgtk2.0-0_2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2_armel.deb ~/
cp/mnt/sdcard/download/libxml2_2.7.5.dfsg-1ubuntu1_armel.deb ~
That will copy all your downloaded files to ~/ in the webtop now all you need to do is run these commands:
[email protected]:/$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all --root=/osh ~/chromium-browser_4.0.283.0~svn20091226r35283-0ubuntu1~ucd1~karmic6_armel.deb

And you should be good to go.

You only need the 4gb free, everything you do with webtop mod happens inside that 4 gigs.
The 2gb was the first mod, but after installing applications people ran out of space rather quickly..

Hello All,
Here is a log of what I did to unpack and repack 3.2.78 firmware if any cooker is interested. The interesting part that differs in gen8 and gen9 compared to previous generation is the way you extract kernel and initrd.
For the record, Archos changed again initrd compression in this one, this is now lzo, not lzma anymore. Gen8 extract is the same except that they still use .gz instead of lzma/lzo.
I also attached the tools (linux) I use, aos-unpack has gen8 and gen9 keys, aos-kernel-unpack is a tool I wrote to split zImage and initrd.
Log is a bit rough, but all should be there:
Code:
aos-unpack firmware_archos_it4.aos

dd if=10_MMCF of=recovery_kernel bs=264 skip=1
aos-kernel-unpack recovery_kernel
mv unpacked-cpio.gz recovery-cpio.cpio.lzo

Let me know if you need details or explanations. I didn't release 3.2.78 yet, my g9 battery is dead (or is it the whole tablet ? Crossing finger ) and I can't test right now. Hopefully it will go back to life and I will be able to test soon.

Following your tutorial for version 3.2.69 I managed to root my device , but I returned to the official version 3.2.78 without root, because was not stable and had no root privileges for all apk instaled ( root_explorer , setcpu and ather like that without root privileage ) - for this I gave up...
Thanks for your tools !
Now, I can update my rootfs to 3.2.78.
Have a nice day !

Thanks for this, might come in handy, might start cooking.... Never done it before. Does anyone know if anyone has started getting ClockworkMod running on this so we can get some CyanogenMod 9 love on this?

For both rooted versions (3.2.69 and 3.2.78) I receive permission for root ( from su ) but for example in root-explorer I can't mount RW is just RO , than I can't modifie the sytem files .....if you understand what I meant
I think copy su in /system/bin and Superuser.apk in /system/app it's not enough....but I will see ....

As you saw in the other thread, you want ext4, not squashfs. Squashfs is read-only by nature, it can't be modified.

Well, ClockworkMod is not needed to run Cyanogen 9, it can be launched without cmw.
I compiled a clockworkmod recovery for gen8 few weeks ago, it was working fine. However, it's not really worth the effort with Archos as we can't use directly partitions the way it's done on phones. We have to resize partition first.
hey op can this tool unpack a plug-in from one device and reconpile it to work on a different device? the reason i ask after my RMA i cant use my plug-in from my original g9
I never purchased plugins, so I don't know, but I believe it contains an activation key that depends on your device ID.
Try it and look at what it produce ?
But I believe it won't do much, you would have to regenerate a proper key for your device.
I would contact Archos about this, no reason that they can't produce one for a rma situation.

i tried talking to archos, the plugin i had was a free pack they offered right when the g9 was released, all i get from archos is a big nothing no reply to my emails and when i call them they play stupid "I'm sorry i don't know what you are talking about"
well anyway I'd love to try just not to computer savvy I'll probably just spring for the full plugin on the archos site but if anyone wants to try the free pak plugin i have is here this plugin seemed to help with netflix and movies over heating the CPU causing a reboot

I took a look, aos-unpack is able to unpack it. It produces multiple n_PLUG and there is a digest that mentions your device id. They seem to be flashed to rawfs partition, but I can't tell much more than that.
I'm afraid that without major reverse engineering to interpret these _PLUGIN files, it won't do any good.
I tried to follow these instructions, first it says ''Neither ADB nor the SDK need to be installed as all needed files are included in the attachments below (though it won't hurt anything if they are).'' but when you go to the video it says '' Be sure to install ADB on your computer first!''
I have installed it but thats confusing information to begin with right there.
I have installed ADB and downloaded the files, putting the SDK file in C: drive, now it gets confusing....
I have run the Qemu program and it hangs at ''Daemon Started Successfully''
Nothing happens from this point onwards, I've looked around and asked but receive no answers, so I do more googling and find this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/09/17/amazon-kindle-fire-hd-7-already-rooted-heres-how-to-do-it/ ...........
this seems ok instructions but I have no clue what to do with these instructions!
''After you download the file, extract the contents and pull SU from /system/bin/ and SuperUser.apk from /system/app/ and put them in the directory you'll be working from''
!! DIRECTORY??? COME AGAIN!???
After that, execute the following commands:
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
abd reboot
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb install Superuser.apk
!! VERY GOOD BUT HOW AND WHERE !!
Anybody care to translate these confusing conflicting nonsense instructions please?
Yes I'm well aware I will be wrong with some of my statements.
I need and idiots guide as it were.
Please reply with helpful comments guys, cheers
I should mention I tried following the video instructions but there is a great big picture of a KFHD in the middle of the screen and the quality is so bad you can not make out what is being type in the command prompt.....
Revkyle.com did a video with step by step instructions, that is what I used and worked fine.

there is no such site as Revkyle,com, and the youtube version makes no mention of rooting anything.
Can you post a link or be more precise please?
I'm finding this very stressful, thank you for the reply
Please tell me you don't mean this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CYDBoTtdvcE
I can't see what he's typing, I'm a real noob, I have no clue what he is talking about from 2:20(ish) onwards, I do have ADB in the device manager, from there he might aswell be speaking martian, seeing as you have followed his instructions ( I don't know how you managed that) would you translate what he's saying for me please?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Why cant i get help on this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First CALM DOWN. We are all here to help each other, but we are not on here 24-7 we have other things to take care of. This is the website
http://www.reverendkyle.com/index.php?start=4. You use command prompt on your computer to do this. Directory is a place on your computer like c drive, you have to know where you put it to be able to make a path to it. Do you understand this? Sorry I'm trying to see what you know and how I can help you.
I got there in the end cheers

OK I'm not trying to be rude here but you started a new thread that is a little misleading in the title to ask for help that you already asked about in the other thread? This is not a novice install... The instructions are clear, if you can't get it installed by following the clear guide... You may not want to install this. Sorry Devs but when you take your time to make CLEAR guides for us... yet people can't follow instructions then spam.It irritates me.

The instructions may be clear, but are almost always only available in English. XDA is international and judging from his sentences, English is probably not his primary language.
It bothers me too when people create pointless threads (esp with misleading titles). I try to imagine myself on a non-English forum, desperate for help. Even with Google translate, I doubt I could make sense of their rules or "clear" guides.

in install progress that ask you must press 0 or 1, after downloading and install kernel of ubuntu , what key must be pressed?
i dont see any line like umount. i see data lose :|
message is this:
Code:
Repartition to create ext3 volume for Ubuntu.
umount: can't umount /media/internal:Invalid argument
Did the pervious line say somthing about not being able umount /media/internal? if so, press 1, otherwise press 0.
DO NOT PRESS 0 IF DID SAY SOMTHING; THIS CAN LEAD TO DATA LOSS! If it did say somthing,reboot and try again.
after reboot i see this line. external memory may be data loss?
