February 22, 2010 at 15:24Nokia N900: “Not enough memory in the selected location”
Yesterday, returning home from a business trip, I decided to update the firmware of the Nokia N900, which I took with me to Nizhny. I stood there a hefty old, even uncomfortable in front of knowledgeable guys.
However, when I tried to make this simple, in general, the case popped up a message "Not enough memory in the selected location", from which I personally did not understand a damn thing. What memory is not enough? In what such a "location"? Who chose him at all? I? So I did not choose. Does General Feylur again unauthorized read my disk?
Rebooted the device - it did not help.
I got on the Internet and from the first try I found instructions on how to fix the problem. There would be happy, but I was sad even more. So that you understand why, I give the entire instruction.
install rootsh package, if not already done
become
root root,
copy the contents of / usr to a 2 gigabyte partition, the duration of this procedure depends on the number of packages installed up to this point. it’s better to take the
cp / usr / home -p -R so far;
mount the copied folder to the old
mount –bind / home / usr / usr point
to ensure further auto-mount after reboot; edit the script in which the fstab
vi / etc mount file is generated and applied /event.d/rcS-late
look for this fragment there and insert our magic command in this place
# We can safely continue booting now.
initctl emit MOUNTS_OK
/ sbin / swapon -a || echo “Failed to enable paging partition.”
mount –bind / home / usr / usr
# Setup lowmem module

sys_paym_naymrnm Yes? To trivially upgrade the firmware, you need to write a lot of interesting commands, edit the script, mount something ... Honestly, I have not been absolutely categorical from such a perspective. I have been updating the firmware for a long time, but with such an unnatural prelude ...
It is interesting that Linux connoisseurs rejoice in the comments to the instructions: oh, how simple it is, how convenient it is.
Again, I thought about a fundamentally different chromosome set for these beautiful aliens.
Fortunately, soon an easier way was discovered to update the N900: “We hammer into the application manager, enter the terminal, turn on root and drive in apt-get upgrade. When a question appears, answer “y”. Files begin to download. At the end of the process, a command prompt appears. We drive in reboot and enjoy the new firmware! ”
I tried - it worked out. It is not clear why the guys from Nokia did not fasten the graphical interface to this script and put it somewhere in a prominent place? After all, the N900 is very acidic, and I didn’t find any warning signs, such as “Windows and Mac users are strictly forbidden to use”.
And so - a cool gadget.
