Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hi - back again - using the Diablo firmware did allow me to access those applications in Extras. Thanks!

I think I have another problem now. I flashed Diablo okay, then I installed the easy-deb-chroot okay, and then I ran the easy-deb-chroot from the menu. The 329 MB file downloaded in a X Terminal window. At this time, the script has been stopped (frozen?) for the last five minutes. Is there a problem? The text output is as follows:

100%[=====>] 329,368,175 100K/s ETA 00:00

14:05:39 (100KB/s) - debian-chroot-img-final.tar.bz2' saved [329368175/329368175]

debian-final.img.ext2


==
EDIT: Waited another ten minutes and the script generated a Success popup message.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

That confused me also, but just wait and wait and it will go away and everything will be fine.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I am having a small problem i suppose with the panel. I seem to have lost it? I know that it is still on the bottom but there is nothing visible. Im not sure if someone else has had this issue or not but would appreciate a little help retrieving it. Thank you in advance.

tuxdelux: That long wait is the big image file being unzipped after downloading.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Did you try this?
"Q: How do I make Debian apps fullscreen?
A: Select the "Set Debian HW Keys" menu item; wait a bit, then you can press the minus (-) hardware key followed by the "fullscreen" hardware key to toggle fullscreen for any app."

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

and how about mounts.
I'm mounting another image file within debian but after debian's shutdown/start procedure, df -h gives me list of my both debian image files - unfortunately my additional isn't mounted properly - I can mount it and each time I do that - my list is getting bigger.
I tried to set it auto in fastab but with no visible result.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

If you're mounting something inside Debian, you have to u(n)mount it before closing Debian. Otherwise, you will get these weird "ghost" images.

I strongly suggest mounting anything you want mounted in maemo, and then "mount -o bind /mountpoint /debian/mountpoint" to make it available to Debian. You can add this to the /sbin/debian and /sbin/closechroot scripts to make it more automatic.

hi @qole,

How can we play yahoo games? I think we need extra java package to start the game. Where can we install java package for os 2008 diablo and easy debian?
Thanks

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: I don't know, I don't play yahoo games. If you use Iceweasel or Kazehakase to go to the Yahoo Games site, it should load your Java applets. It may take a very long time, however. It may not work if the applet is too big or too graphics-intensive.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

@qole,
I tried Iceweasel and Kazehakase but It didn't worked. There is a warning message; your current settings is bad, you must enable java etc..I think yahoo games applet has too graphics-intensive as you think. By the way I don't play yahoo games too for a long time. But I just wondered if N800 handle java applets. Thanks for your explanation.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: Maybe post a link to a specific game (hopefully not behind a username/password wall) so I can try it out in my spare moments, and maybe see what the problem is?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

qole,
I don't know any specific java applet game link unfortunately. But, simply you can try yahoo.com and click games and any game(offcourse you need yahoo id) and you can see warning message about java.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: I think you might need to give me an example game. I tried running some of these games from my desktop, running Debian and Firefox, with Flash 9 and a recent version of Java... This is a sample of what I got:

Bejeweled2: "Note: Bejeweled 2 requires Internet Explorer and Windows."
Chess: "Yahoo! Chess requires Flash Player 7 or later and JavaScript enabled in your browser."

Aha! "Alchemy" and "Crossword" work on my desktop (but "Aloha Solitare" does not, I only get a black window). I'll try them on my tablet when I get a chance.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

qole,
Thanks for your special effort about java games and applets. I am waiting for your good news.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

qole,
It is this warning(for backgammon game):

This game cannot be played using your current settings. Please, try the following:

* Check to make sure that java is enabled in your browser. (learn more)
* If you do not have java installed you may download it here.
* To learn more about java support for browsers, visit our help pages.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

hmm, the http request seems to take forever to be responded to...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: I can play the crossword, but the backgammon game gives the same error to me as it does to you.

I'm thinking of moving the Easy Debian project over to Ubuntu ("Easy Ubuntu?"), since the official Ubuntu Jaunty for our tablets is now available and it has the latest Java (version 6b14~pre1 as opposed to Debian's 6b11-9).

This new version of Java seems to be the fix for Yahoo Backgammon. However, it is incredibly slow; the whole tablet slows to a crawl while running the applet.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

hi qole,
I think easy ubuntu is the true solution for java applet. Did you try overclocking? Thanks for your efforts.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hi,

I have been trying to download debian-chroot-img-final.tar.bz2 for the last 36 hours from http://qole.maemobox.org/, and I'm becoming a little desperate. It's horribly slow, and when the image is finally downloaded, it appears to be corrupt.
Is there a mirror where the file can downloaded from ?

Cheers.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

There was an extended outage at my free hosting service, maemobox.org, over the weekend, but the server seems back to full speed again. Keep trying! Maybe try downloading from another computer, and then copying the file onto your SD card. The installer will find the file and check it, and if it isn't corrupt, it will unzip it.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I've downloaded the file but when it tries to unzip it I get the ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! Screen.

I have 2.2 GB free even after i downloaded the 300 MB file that gets unzipped. Do I need to format or something?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I did this and I get a tar: invalid option -- j
Busy Box v1.6.1 (2008-09-18 09:43:17 EEST) multi-cal
1 binary

Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)] ...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Ran:

bzip2 -dc debian-chroot-img-final.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

Started to uncompress?

found it on some website that someone else was having the same problem with.

Hope it helps!

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Cruelkix: my easy-deb-chroot package depends on the "real" version of tar that has the -j parameter available (unlike the built-in busybox tar). You can't be using my package if you are still using the busybox tar.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

So what's the "real" version of tar? Does it come standard on the n810 or is it an installed app?

Debian is running great after doing what I mentioned above! Thanks for your work on this. I'm loving the fact that I have open office!

Thanks again! You rock!

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

My package depends on the "real" version of tar found in the Nokia repository. How anyone can install Easy Debian without having that automatically installed is beyond me.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Have installed Easy-Debian- fantastic on my Nokia N810.
I made a mistake to change the desktop menu (click and hold) from the default one which was showing " New/Folder ..." to LXDE one which offers different options.
How can I get back the default one ????
Thank you for your help.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Can anyone help me please with changing the menus?
Thank you

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hello,
Any news on changing the menu?
Thank you

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Open the File Manager. Edit menu, Preferences. Desktop tab. Uncheck the box that says, "Show menus provided by WM when desktop is clicked."

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Thank you.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Would it help if you upload it to a torrent site? I would help seed.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

The file is here:

http://qole.maemobox.org/debian-chro...-final.tar.bz2

Feel free to mirror it, torrent it or whatever you like.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Question for Mr Qole, (or anybody who knows)

Is there any way to update the flash version in iceweasel.

TIA

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

You need to reboot and run the debian chroot again.

Get an x-terminal, enter "sudo debian" and post the results.

I'm on vacation, I might not respond right away.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Thats fine. Reply in your own time.
I typed in sudo debian and it says

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hey Qole,

Thanks so much for this! This is EXACTLY the program I was hoping to come across on here. I had one question though. When I download or try to open a word document it says there is no program to open it and when I look through the list Open Office doesn't appear. If I open OpenOffice and then Open... from there, it works fine but I was wondering if there was a way to make OpenOffice be associated with Word Documents so when I try to open one from my e-mail it just automatically opens OpenOffice. Is there any way to do that?
