Another one from the list:

* Finding simple Camera applications that work with the v4l device for snapshotting and recording and documenting these on wiki.

apt-get install cheese gnome-media

Make sure tablet user is in 'video' group. Run gstreamer-properties to set ximagesink and select correct camera (omap24xxcam)

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

Thanks for the tip :), i'll contact qole when i get an "early prototype" of this software running and take off from there.

I'm still looking into how qole made that synchroot file witch i will include in a file called cdeb2-mount and am planning to take a fuew snipits of code from debbie to work with some other components of Cdeb2.

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

Hey b-man, help yourself to whatever you want. I look forward to seeing your stuff.

As I've stated elsewhere, I'm aiming for one more release of the Easy Debian scripts (with a few more small tweaks and enhancements) and a new filesystem image (mostly Debian Lenny with a few Sid bits) that rolls up everything we've discovered since I released the first Easy Debian.

After that, assuming there are no bugs, I'm done with the project. I'll probably focus on deblet from there on, and help you guys in the area of chroot.

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

Worked on this one: * Finding ways to optimize Deblet to perform better, both in booting time (bootchartd is very useful for this) and runtime. I've had upstart running but it didn't do much difference.. under this also making the batteries last longer

I have committed an update to boot-basics that includes some things Maemo does at bootup to optimize. I -think- it feels more speedier and responsive. Could any of you upgrade_deblet, apt-get dist-upgrade and reboot, and see if you can feel any difference?

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

I'll do it and update this with a yay or nay.

ETA: Dude ... I dont know what you did but everything in my debian seems to be launching snappier and running smoother. I thought it was decent before but this is nice... even the browsers seem to work faster and load pages better... iTT is more usable...

Maybe it's just hype but I do notice a significant change.

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

Worked a bit on this, and got some progress

* Making bluetooth DUN work and maybe PAN.

Status: wvdial fails miserably, so it's not possible to use gnome-ppp and likes.

/etc/ppp/peers/gprs:

/dev/rfcomm0 115200

crtscts

/etc/ppp/chat-gprs:

.. So it's atleast some progress :>

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

I worked on that right after I started using Deblet and got wvdial talking to my blackberry pearl.. but it segfaulted when I finally got the right combination to make it even start the dialing process..

So I was never able to get it even as far as yours.

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

Hello again, after working all day to create a functional Cdeb2 install, i've finaly got this working :D, Currently it still relys on a terminal window though but it has a lot of the features that i mentioned, includeing "cuser" witch is a spin-off of debbie and "csynk", witch allows safe chrootage with bootable deblet. You can download the tarball here.

Btw, I may not be responsive for today, verry busy :(. ~( started school, sports, ect..)

Re: Deblet Hack Challenges v1.0
 

Decided to throw this one in with the challenges as it's quite useful if it works properly - and me and qwerty12 has done some work on it - thanks to n3x for the idea.

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...5&postcount=13 - getting hildon-input-method to work in Deblet.

A very bad screenshot - it might work better in matchbox - but this is activated by touching the text field as on Maemo, with no hildon environment running.

Make hildon-input-method run in the background when GTK has started.

$ hildon-im-recache

$ gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/inputmethod/input_method_plugin -t string himExample_vkb

So, I guess the challenge is to make this into something useful so we don't have to use MB for atleast GTK applications. Or QT (there's a IM plugin for that too). And I have an idea for how to make H-I-M work for normal X applications too.

https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile is where all packages are fetchable from using bzr - it's a matter of dpkg-buildpackage them and getting build dependancies. But the -example one is probably the most interesting to hack to work in normal WMs.

http://live.gnome.org/Hildon/HildonInputMethod/Theme is also interesting.

Some more to the hildon input framework work:
