Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

wmurpht: it takes a bit of finesse... I had to do it several times, but it does work.

It shouldn't have anything to do with the latest image; but perhaps it is a problem with your hardware keys settings.

Open a terminal and enter:
This should copy the latest version of the hardware key bindings; it doesn't copy it automatically, in case you have custom keys mapped.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Some pages back in this thread there's my suggestion on how to map Esc to shift-backspace. It's quite convenient to close that modal dialogs which occupy the whole n900 gui.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

You shouldn't have to reinstall the image for that! Make sure that you really launched the application which sets up the Debian HW keys (an icon with some keys on it) before you start OO from the regular desktop and that .xbindkeysrc contains settings for F1-F12.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Success! I think copying the latest key bindings did the trick. Appreciate all the help and hopefully can return the favor one of these days.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Since this is a beta testing thread, it is indeed very useful to come up with such issues. I have now added to the wiki the information that upgrading Easy Debian does not overwrite existing .xbindkeyrc files but then installs .xbindkeysrc.dist.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I have now noticed that xkeybinding shift-backspace to Esc, which I adopted myself, interferes with microB, where this is a key binding for "forward". In fact, also Ctrl+Space and Ctrl+Up for full-screen toggles are already in use according to http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Shortcuts_and_Gestures (fortunately Ctrl+. is not occupied yet!).

However, the Fn+Shift+key combo is completely free, so I think I for one will use that for all the special Easy-Debian key bindings. Since Fn+Shift+Backspace is already F12 (being the 12th key in the upper row), I think an easy to remember key binding would be Fn+Shift+LeftArrow. So I would propose that the next version of Easy Debian switches over to the Fn+Shift convention for additional special Easy Debian keys, and perhaps also the full-screen toggle.

I would like to increase the size of the image of easydebian. I found this: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=266

Some more questions:
Is it still the correct way?

In order to avoid problems with FAT is it better to move to the external memory card?

Is it possible to move the whole image from Mydocs to the memory card without reinstalling all the softwares in easydebian?

Thank you very much in advance!

Is it possible to change the spell checking in open office to an other language than English? I've tried to switch it to Polish but it doesn't work.

Anyone using vlc with easy debian? anyone know if you can view videos?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Install Knots 2 instead from the app manager.

It works like a dream! :)
