debian on kindle touch?

[brianinmaine]

I can't remember what I did - it was a while ago and I can't seem to find that script. Anyway, I know I modified the script and also created a mountpoint after I made mounted root r/w. I just messed with it until it worked - isn't that what everybody does?
Make sure if you modify the scripts you don't do it in Windows as you will get the wrong line endings in the file - use Linux instead.

I would but shell scripting is wayyyy out of my league. I can barely do hello world in python lol. Does anyone have their working script?

[brianinmaine]

I can't seem to find my script any more. Post the script you have and the exact error message(s), maybe it will come back whats wrong?

maybe this:

#!/bin/sh
rm /dev/loop/debian
mknod -m0660 /dev/loop/debian b 7 250
echo "[*] Mounting Rootfs..."
mount -o loop=/dev/loop/debian,noatime -t ext3 /mnt/base-us/debian.ext3 /mnt/debian

umount /mnt/debian/dev/pts
umount /mnt/debian/dev
umount /mnt/debian/proc
umount /mnt/debian/sys
umount -d /mnt/debian
echo "[*] Debian unmounted."

what I did was create a mount point on the kindle, /mnt/debian, then it worked? You must do this only once by remounting the kindle root read/write. Debian is mounted to base-us instead of base for an important reason, I just don't remember what. ***Write down changes you make so you can refer to exactly what you did, step by step.*** <- ask me how I know

Brian, you cut off your beard!

@chr1st0ph3rc Err. yeah. have to make that mountpoint. or adjust the script to expect it somewhere else that is mountable like in /mnt/us/

Let me know if you got it going.

You would need https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=43 for the lib that was missing IIRC

and

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=195702 does indeed have MANY of the likely questions that might be asked, answered.

I can even dredge up a WAaaaay more recent image probably at a pinch.
K. Hope you get it sorted.
