debian-m5-v3c.img.ext2.lzma
I've started with testing the new image and will now flood this thread with my observations :D. First in this series:

One minor problem I see with get partition ID from blkid is that it doesn't work from /etc/profile with user privileges, i.e. when I do debbie with "su -" :
Code:
Nokia-N900-42-11:/home/user# debian su - user
Chroot dir specified: /.debian
/home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3c.img.ext2 specified in ~/.chroot
Mounting...
using image file: /home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3c.img.ext2
fs type is ext2
Using ext2 file system
mounting /home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3c.img.ext2 on loop
.../home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3c.img.ext2 mounted on loop0
.
..
...
....
Updating the /etc/mtab file...
Everything set up, running chroot...
-su: blkid: command not found
-su: blkid: command not found
-su: /dev/stderr: Permission denied
The prompt is then [user@chroot: ~] instead of [user@debian-v3c: /] .

EDIT: The "command not found" errors are easy to fix, just insert the complete path "/sbin/blkid". Then "debian su - user" does work as intended.
However with "debian su -" (desirable for full localization also for root) the prompt doesn't change at all compared to Maemo. The reason is that there still is a /root/.bashrc file which sets PS1.

hi is there any chance to use the wiimote controller as a mouse in easy debian?

I didn't get this with v3b. It seems harmless, but how can root get such a message?

EDIT: seems to occur typically after the trigger of man-db, but I can run man-db manually (no pun intended) without error messages.

I would like to know if the audio in easy debian is supposed to work. I am not able to hear any sound from music player. Further the GNOME asamixer is giving me some errors (bad key or direcory). I don't know if there is a correlation.

Thanks, I'll add the /sbin/ to the blkid commands.

Argh, so I somehow missed deleting a .bashrc file in the image's /root dir?

I suspect this might be due to over-agressive cleaning of /var/log. I will look into that.

Aha, I found the fopen problem and fixed it. I also changed the OpenGL system to use software rendering. /etc/profile fixed and /root/.bashrc removed.

Is the LXDE problem fixed? Any other problems?

If you know the name of the plugin, you can also search on http://packages.debian.org#search_contents
Ahhh I see ;)

Will have a look at the gimp plugins, hopefully there's the one i'm looking for :) Maybe i will try that other mypaint package aswell, cause the pressure dosn't really work in the one i have and maybe it will in that one.

Anyway thanks again for the help rebhana and qole :D

Great! That was quick!

What does the change of OpenGL imply?

Were you also able to fix /etc/profile regarding "-su: /dev/stderr: Permission denied" ?

Meanwhile I also set up locales and didn't have any other problems, but I still need to re-install the rest of my Debian system. Will hopefully find time later today.

Your fix of the "Information" problem is great! With German I didn't have this problem anyway, because "Information" was translated to "Informationen". Now it is not changed any longer, so this problem is clearly fixed completely!

With image v3b you should follow the instructions here.
This is fixed in the newest image, v3c.

The time consuming part is making the image, dumping the rootfs into it, compressing it, and uploading it to the website...

With the previous install of OpenGL, things that used OpenGL wouldn't work at all. But now, with software rendering installed, OpenGL apps will work, although somewhat slowly. glxgears was giving me about 20 frames a second.

No, I didn't notice that was a separate problem. I'll see what I can do.

Excellent! Thanks so much for testing.

I noticed that audio seems to be better now, and I don't know what I've done differently. CPU use when playing music with lxmusic doesn't seem to be so heavy.

Someone who cannot hear anything with lxmusic, please try the new v3c image and see if it fixes your problem.
