Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

Benson any luck finding the keybindings.rc? TIA

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

dan, you boot from mmc, right? What I would do is boot back into flash, then tar up my /home/user/ dir and put it on an expansion card. Then when your system complains about needing stuff, add missing said file back?

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

BrentDC, I boot from mmc. I don't understand what tar is. I'm a newbie at this command line. If someone has posted the file I need I don't see it. Thanks for your help the past few days.

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

Ummm.... yeah. I forgot about that.

Look for an attachment in ~3 minutes. (I'm bumping the thread here, then I'll attach it from my N800.)

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

I understand I need to put this file in the osso... but do I need to unpack first or what?
Can you provide instructions. TIA

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

yes u would...

gunzip keybindings.rc.gz

it will produce keybindings.rc which u put in the forementioned location...

Thanks Benson, Fatalsaint and BrentDC for helping me fix all the icon problems.

I just updated my application manager and there are a bunch of demos and stuff for QT4. My hunch was right. I think we are going to be treated to whole bunch of custom QT apps including I hope KDEv4 just for our tablets. :)

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

Qole can you help me figure out what is wrong in this install of Alsa-base, etc... I followed your instructions to the letter in earlier post on this thread. I have two issues as follows :
1.) I keep getting the dreaded ' out of space on devise ' I have several gb's of space. I've checked online and it seems pretty common for Debian install but no solution for N800. Any workaround you know of? I've done apt-get autoclean, apt-get clean all, apt-get clean, and gtkorphan to remove orphan packages.
2.) When I type in alsa-utils start I get, ' Invalid command! done. (see below)

[root@Debian: /]apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils libasound2-plugins alsa-oss
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

It seems to have load though, then when I do the following I get:

Then I figured what the heck, it seems to have loaded why not try to get in. :)

Can you walk me through this. I seem to be in (or not, dunno???)

P.S. I have no idea what I'm doing(as usual) :)

TIA

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

Are you sure you have a few GB of space free?

at your Debian prompt, type
and look for the one that just has a "/" under "Mounted on" ... it should be the first line. What's your available space?

I'm also thinking you might need to do a "fsck.ext2" on your Debian partition.

Re: Debian Apps That Run Well On The Tablets
 

I have Debian on mmc1 and the card shows I have 3.5gb still free.
Here is result of ' df -h '

[root@Debian: /]df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
sysfs 1008M 999M 0 100% /sys
[root@Debian: /]

Yikes! But I have 3.5gb available on that card. Please explain? TIA
