I just remembered that there is an issue in my tutorial. For some reason WordPress converts double dashes (--) into single long dashes (–), which messes up some of the commands. Wherever you see a long dash, replace it with two normal dashes.

Hehe, sorry about that.I hope you have better luck the 2nd time around
Quote from: Ivoah on May 18, 2016, 05:04:13 pmHehe, sorry about that.I hope you have better luck the 2nd time around I believe it is actually the fifth. By the way, would having my calculator on 3.9.1 make a difference? Because I just downgraded to check if it makes it any faster than 4.0.3, and since I haven't seen any speed increase so far, and installing during school time has become fairly hard (no, I am not going to take out a computer in the middle of class), I am thinking that downgrading probably wasn't the best idea. Thanks!
OS version shouldn't matter, so long as it runs Ndless.

I don't think so. Seeing as you're putting debian, not lubuntu, on the flash drive
Quote from: Ivoah on May 19, 2016, 05:51:33 pmI don't think so. Seeing as you're putting debian, not lubuntu, on the flash driveWhat I meant was because the guide asks me to copy the sources.list from the Linux installation on the computer (lubuntu) to the installation on the USB (debian), I thought there might be some conflicts between source domains.
Oh huh, I thought that my instructions said to download the sources.list from my site. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Could you post the contents of your sources.list?

Quote from: Ivoah on May 19, 2016, 07:12:46 pmAh yeah, that won't work. Try this insteadThanks, I set up a blank sources.list on my desktop, pasted all that in, set it to chmod 755 just in case, and copied it to the USB. I'm finishing debootstrapping now, hopefully it works!EDIT: It did not work. It failed on step 12; I get this:Code: [Select]Linux in-place bootloader v2 (ba0d0fa)Build date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 19:18:37 +0100Allocated memory: DTB/ATAGs: 16128 bytes Kernel and initrd: 26804224 bytesMachine number: 4443Detected a CXPhysical memory at: 0x10000000-0x14000000Serial number: 3fce820120 rev0 (Non-CAS)kernel linux/zImage.tnsKernel successfully loadedcmdline root=/dev/sda1Kernel command line: "root=/dev/sda1"rootdelay=10Unknown commandbootI then have to restart my calculator to do anything else. Please, help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Well, your post made me realize that I never updated my tutorial for the new dtb kernel. The updated instructions are here: http://ivoah.net/blog/2016/03/20/how-to-install-debian-on-a-ti-nspire/

The updated instructions are here: http://ivoah.net/blog/2016/03/20/how-to-install-debian-on-a-ti-nspire/So, I should restart the tutorial from the beginning?Yay... EDIT: So, after actually reading the tutorial, it seems I only need to change the files on the calculator. EDIT2: It worked! Thank you for all your help! Also, one last suggestion for the tutorial: maybe you should tell the reader to rename the DTB to have a .tns extension at the end?EDIT3: Today, I have learned something valuable: my USB-OTG is really not so good. Most of the time, it kernel panics because it can't find the rootfs. However, sometimes, it does load to the login prompt. Although, I can not login, no matter what combination of usernames/passwords I use. Is there a specific username to use? I have set a password in the guide. Thanks.
First, yay! I'm glad it finally worked Yeah, I forgot that it doesn't have the tns extension. Actually, I think I'll say to rename it to just 'nspire.dtb.tns' so that they don't need to change the boot script.About your not being able to type issue, make sure not to touch the touchpad after you launch the start_usb script. For some reason it'll break the keyboard in linux. Once it's all booted up though you should be able to touch it again.And lastly, thanks for using my tutorial, and showing me where I needed to update it.
