install fail on Asus C201PA (speedy)

[Anthony-Sensors]

Was on prawnos, wanted to install cadmium
1- did ./install on Cadmium v0.4.0-pre2 "c a d m i u m" live usb of veyron speedy (cadmium-arm32-debian.img.xz)
2- choosed internal
3- input wifi
result:
ERROR: Can't seek: Invalid argument
ERROR: Cannot read secondary GPT header

There are two "./install-*" scripts, one for "Internal eMMC" and one for "Current Location"; which install script are you using? What do you mean by "choosed internal" exactly? Probably going to need more step-by-step info in order to troubleshoot. Thanks.

[chinh4thepro]

they probably mean internal emmc

[Wooty-B]

That's what I'm trying to concretely determine, as (1) "running ./install" and (2) "choosing internal" should be the same thing, not two separate steps.

@Anthony-Sensors Please provide detailed info so we can help troubleshoot and close out this issue, just not enough info to go off of. Thanks!

I tried to install it on the emcc. Ran without issue on prawnos

I tried to install it on the emcc. Ran without issue on prawnos

I switched from PrawnOS to Cadmium a week ago, installed to SD, eMMC and USB with zero issues. I have both 2GB and 4GB Asus C201P (veyron speed) models used for testing.

If you cannot provide any other details other than "it does not work", I suggest you run through the install process again and document the steps to reproduce the issue. Otherwise I say this issue can be marked closed since I cannot reproduce the issue on my notebooks.

I tried the 0.3.0 version and the pre2-0.4.0 both. The 0.3.0 version with attempting to install to EMMC doesn't typically fail. I think the last time I encountered an error that halted the installation did I just simply reboot and tried again.

However, the original poster's issue is coming from the pre2-0.4.0 build, because I got the exact same thing. I was unable to get around it when trying to install to EMMC.

My device is an Asus C100PA.

To reproduce this problem, all I had to do was boot into the environment, run the install script and select the first option which was to install it to "memory" (EMMC).

At first, I got errors in relation to package gathering. It seems like the repositories on pre2-0.4.0 didn't get updated nor was there an update command in the install script, so I ran the apt update command to get the latest repos; upon rerunning the same script, selecting the option to install it to the EMMC of the device is where I got that partitioning error. It happens right at the beginning. So far, I haven't been able to get passed this error at all.

Also, this is with the Debian 32-bit ARM pre2-0.4.0 version.

I hope this info helps!

Can confirm I'm experiencing the same behavior on a C100PA.

Same here

[kapouer]

Cadmium pre2-0.4.0 debian sid image "install" script fails here:

cgpt create /dev/mmcblk0
> ERROR: Can't seek: Invalid argument
> ERROR: Cannot read secondary GPT header

The problem comes from cgpt. Downgrade it to stable:

• replace sid by stable in /etc/apt/sources.list
• apt update; apt install cgpt/stable
• restore sources.list

Unfortunately, latest cgpt version R105 still doesn't work (I checked).

Last thing: install from USB, not from Card, because the 0.4.0 install script fails to find SDKernelA partition otherwise.

after having installed gnome on debian/bookworm, many things work by default except: webcam, jack detection.
Full screen video works, but only using epiphany, chromium somewhat has sound glitches.

Installation also failed me on the first step. But my error is different.

(I have a C201P. Booted from USB with the 0.4.0-pre2 Debian image.)

./install: line 29: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input

That's strange. It looks to me that it's wanting to see the battery power of your device. You can edit the script to remove those checks and it'll work just fine.

Full screen video? Is it hardware accelerated? Is the browser itself hardware accelerated? Firefox Webrender is currently broken.
