Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Hi all,

rebhana was very helpful debugging the latest image file, and I think it is all fixed now.

Please download, expand, and test the new v3d image file:

debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2.lzma

I'm going to move pretty quickly with this one. If I don't hear any complaints, I'm switching all new Easy Debian installs to the new version.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Hi qole,

Just to be clear, when you change the easy debian install to the
new version, should we uninstall the current Deb Img Install and then install the new one?

Also, I was wondering, when I changed the size of the tool bar to make it easier to read for the Debian LXDE, it also changed the ubuntu tool bar without me doing anything. I would have assumed that a modification I made in Debian would have no effect on the Ubuntu LXDE. Can you tell me why this happens.

Finally, I'm still confused why I was able to uprade openoffice on ubuntu through lenny backports so that I had the 3.1 equation editor but can not do the same with the Debian. Is it possible to copy the openoffice from ubuntu to debian as I prefer to use Debian, thanks to your efforts.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

That's because the configuration is stored in your home directory, in /home/user/.config/lxde, which is shared between the different images. If you wish, you can change that by modifying the /sbin/qchroot script (see the FAQ in the wiki).

Interesting that they share the same set up files. Unfortunately
the terminals in ubuntu are acting strangely. I noticed that the ubuntu ROXTERM and LXTERM are not responsive although xterm allows me to enter type. Also I can type in openoffice in ubuntu. I'm not sure how to fix this.

I noticed that lennybackports now has openoffice 3.2 for armel.
Is this compatible with the N900?
I was unable to download it for Debian or Ubuntu. Debian
wants to downgrade to 2.4 and Ubuntu stays at 3.1 (which is supposedly slower than 3.2.

Also, is it correct for the openoffice logo to appear skewed when
opening it up in Debian? In Ubuntu Ooo3.1 the logo is retangular.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I couldn't verify that lenny-backports has OO 3.2 for armel, unfortunately. And yes, the logo at startup is skewed also for me for some reason. No idea why,

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Rebhana

Sorry, I must have been mistaken. Looks like 3.2 is listed under testing.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Wrong again, but you are nevertheless right, there is apparently again a new OO Debian armel version, in sid (unstable - not testing).

qole, are you aware of that? Is there any reason why it might be problematic to upgrade to that? What packages are there btw that one should avoid upgrading in the process? gconf2? Something else?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Oh, I see what happened. I was looking at the website

http://www.debian-database.org

Just type in openoffice and select armel and lenny in the gui
Here you will find the OOo3.2 in their "testing" column.

This appears to be in an unofficial Debian site. If I had noticed this
I would have noted it earlier.

Any comments about this repository?



On a different topic. Is there an equivalent of a "right click"
using the stylus. Since tapping on an icon opens it. I was wondering if instead one could hold down a key, say right arrow or return -what ever works best, and then tapping the icon to get the usual menu.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Hi guys, thanks for finding the new version of OpenOffice in sid.

I installed it without much pain by enabling the squeeze and sid repos in /etc/apt/sources.list then, as root in Debian:
Doesn't seem faster, and the menus changed from icons to text, but it works fine...

mscion: tap-and-hold should work as right-click for GTK and Gnome apps. KDE apps don't have a right-click hack in Easy Debian.
