0.9.35-3fremantle1 installed and works great, haven't found anything wrong yet :D

Having to use "fix LXDE keyboard" is fine, just have to remember to do it before returning to easy debian :)

(Tip: It's a pretty obvious one but I have noticed that leaving applications minimised instead of closing them works a lot better. Most of the slowness comes from actually opening programs not from running them --> at least thats the case with me)

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
After running the latest version I started LXDE, and tried to run iceweasel. Unfortunately no connection could be established.
I closed LXDE and tried to use MicroB, now it doesn't conenct anymore to the internet (no server found). although wireless and UMTS work and are connected. It seems some ports are unavailable, but as a noob I do not have a clue how to reopen them.
I tried closing Debian, but this did not help too.
Please help

Hey Qole

The unmount order of the closechroot script is leaving behind a few points that it can't unmount.

After you've played with the chroot and closed it, if you do a df you get

Code:

$ df
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
... more stuff here ...
tmpfs                    64.0M      4.0k    64.0M  0% /dev/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p2            2.0G    268.9M      1.6G  14% /home
/dev/mmcblk0p1          27.0G    15.7G    11.3G  58% /home/user/MyDocs
df: /.debian/dev/pts: No such file or directory
df: /.debian/home/user/MyDocs: No such file or directory
df: /.debian/dev/pts: No such file or directory
df: /.debian/home/user/MyDocs: No such file or directory

It isn't really a major problem, but it can be fixed as below.

Code:

#Any external mounts
umount -l "$CHROOT/home/user/MyDocs"
umount -l "$CHROOT/dev/pts"
MNTD=`cat /proc/mounts | grep " $CHROOT/" | awk '{print $2}'`
for MDRV in $MNTD ; do
  echo "unmounting $MDRV"
  umount -l "$MDRV"
done

Thanks for the Easy Debian stuff! :)

Edit: I've just noticed that Murat pointed this out on page 10 too.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
I have nordic keyboard on my n900 and in debbie console it works well now. After follow the tips from Qole

But in LXDE i still got american layout. It's not a big problem since most keys are the same.
Where is the keyboard-settings for LXDE. Normally I just use xorg.conf, but in chroot debbie I don't got a xorg.conf

Is it safe to do an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on this distribution?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
hstende: try "sudo synchroot" after opening the chroot, and see if that fixes your keyboard map.

also: openoffice seems to be broken in the current Debian testing so don't upgrade now.

Also, in my hands Gnumeric can be started only from the lxde graphic interface, while doesn't start from the hildon xterm as "debbie gnumeric" (loops dbus requests). Both from Squeeze and Lenny.

I tried syncroot, but now I got another problem.
When I try to start LXDE, it start up and I push OK for the focus, but the screen with "Ctrl-back to return to dashboard" never finish.

In top I see :
772 648 root S < 9680 3.9 31.7 /usr/bin/Xorg -logfile /tmp/Xorg.0.log -logverbose 1 -nolisten tcp -noreset -s 0

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
@hstende: from some strange reason, it's the same thing that happened to me after I tried to change the default locale with 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'.
Every time I tried the result was that lxde stuck on the initial screen as you reported.
I can't imagine why. By now, I'm using the latest Qole's rootfs without any localization (told you why) or updating (which breaks openoffice.org). I've only installed some other package I like.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
Wow. That's frustrating, guys. I don't know what to suggest, since I'm not a localization expert...

Any extra console information if you start LXDE from the terminal using "debbie xephwm5" ? I know that Xephyr complains a lot about fonts and stuff, but do you see any LXDE errors?

debernardis 2009-12-31 06:54

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
@qole: I'll prepare a new fs, localize it, and let you know.

EDIT: as it happens (to me, too often :( ), the bug wasn't repeatable. I used Qole's last rootfs, started lxde from it, then logged out, did localization, and now after localization lxde restarts without problems.

Some days ago, I tried with two different rootfs', and localization stopped lxde working.

Ok, doesn't matter, just a false alarm. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, though :(
