The second partition that you made, that big ext2 or ext3.

It is /dev/mmcblkXp2

Then select mount as ext2 or ext3

I've added nit-env-keblet3 to repository of Deblet. No screenshot yet because I can't get network-manager-kde to actually do something with networkmanager (which it should be able to). Anyone who want to look into what goes wrong?

Re: Keblet - KDE 3.5.9 (and 4.1.0) on Deblet
 

Well I haven't had any luck with kdenetworkmanager .. it launches and sits in my bar and just says "No Active Device".

However.. wicd looks to work - but I had to build it.. so I'll upload the deb to my repo when I get home... and verify that it'll connect to a WPA network.

@fatalsaint:

Thanks for your KDE posts here. Getting a fully open-source distro with KDE working on my tablet has been one of my goals, and with Johnx and yours, and others here, help I have finally done it! Unfortunately for me, I've been very busy lately, so it was a challenge to find time to get the Wifi working. Also, I'm a RPM type of person. While Debian has always been my secondary partiton distro, I've never gotten quite used to deb packaging and initscripts. So thanks to both of you for helping me along with your posts!

I haven't played much with kdenetworkmanager in Debian, but in Fedora there have been issues with kdenetworkmanager that could never be resolved. What they ended up doing was using the Gnome network manager, and then putting a kdenetworkmanager wrapper over it. That may be what is necessary here. Although I am not very familiar with Gnome, due to the kdenetworkmanager problems in Fedora I think I would concentrate on getting the Gnome network GUI tool working. If it works, then maybe it would be a good idea to look at the Fedora kdenetworkmanager stuff and see what they did to make it a Gnome network manager wrapper. It seems that would be much easier, rather than revisiting their problems and trying to resolve them another way.

Good luck and keep up the good work and the great posts!

Thanks again!

Atleast when it comes to Deblet, it's not fully open-source as we do need bits and pieces from Maemo still to get working. Compared to Debian, the goal of Deblet is not a fully open source distribution as that's simply not possible if we want to have a sane OS for people to use - and I'm really not that nitpicky about it :P

If people can replace closed-source stuff with open source solutions that's of same quality, sure. But Deblet is definately not driven by the "everything must be open" (except the Deblet scripts and installer and the packages we make ourselves) idea.

-but- I'm open to people contributing replacement packages for tablet closed-source stuff - as long as I don't get into lengthy discussions about licenses and all that jazz. My goal isn't make this an official platform for Debian, but to provide people that want to paint the bike shed a different colour a tool to do it.

Re: Keblet - KDE 3.5.9 (and 4.1.0) on Deblet
 

Hi there,

new guy's talking :-D

After some Trials I got Keblet 3 (the "small" one) up and running (full won't install 'cause of missing dependencies unrar for example).

Now I've got 2 prolems I can't seem to solve....

1) KNetworkmanager will not start... icon jumps, then is gone - doing nothing. Tried to get WiFi working editing etc/network/interfaces using vim.. but I sadly don't know what to enter. Could someone please be so nice to post his/her interfacefile? Or maybe "construct"one for me if I tell encryption and SSID?

2) can`t get sound to work... some pointers maybe? Do I have to manually configure something?

Please excuse if there are to many errors in spelling and grammar... didn't have to use written english a long time...

Thanks in advance,
Glasswalker

Re: Keblet - KDE 3.5.9 (and 4.1.0) on Deblet
 

What sound are you referring to?? Can you play audio files but it's extremely choppy?? Hasn't really been an absolute fix for that yet.. I use mpd and gmpc for music.. and mplayer passed with the right -ao esd parameters runs video in non-full screen.

Knetworkmanager was mentioned somewhere by me.. and by someone else.. that it doesn't work. Better off grabbing gnome-network-manager or editing /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf yourself.

The very first examples gives you a direct copy/paste of a generic WPA encrypted wireless network. Then just

iwconfig wlan0 essid "yourssid"
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
dhclient wlan0

There may be other ways.., this way has been the most reliable for me - and requires no dependencies. The unrar dependency error seems a bit odd to me though.. should be in the debian repos.

Re: Keblet - KDE 3.5.9 (and 4.1.0) on Deblet
 

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

Regarding the WiFi I will look into it tomorrow (past midnight over here).

Regarding the sound: ist doen's ply any sound at all.
And last but not least: maybe it was wrong to say missing is unrar... it allways complaints that unrar can't be installed

Thanx,
Glasswalker

Re: Keblet - KDE 3.5.9 (and 4.1.0) on Deblet
 

Did you get debian via the Deblet installer? How recent is it?? Is the package "tablet-sound" installed?

Re: Keblet - KDE 3.5.9 (and 4.1.0) on Deblet
 

Good mornig,

I did use deblet installer... has been last teusday evening or the day after... not quite sure.
Did some checking, "tablet-sound" is installed.

Regarging wireless:I've git to admit I#m not very good on console-level work sadly :-(
Maybe better to make a new install using Gnome or Xfce, setting everything up and install KDE later using the instructions on the first page of this thread as I like KDE...

Regards,
Glasswalker

Edit: reflashed device, just right now new attemt with deblet full... wait and see.....
