Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
On my ubuntu-image inside lxde it took about 45s from I started opening openoffice writer till I could write some text with kernel running at 950

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
I tried GIMP with the overclocked kernel (900ghz) and it is really _much_ smoother to work with!

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
i'm going manually install this, i have extracted debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2 file n900@900mhz:)
now can i uninstall apps like Debian Image Installer and others if i do not need it. can some one confirm that these where only shortcuts? i renamed: 1gnome-alsamixer.desk 1image-install.desk 1lxdefocus.desk 1xbindkeys.desk |

Out of curiosity, I checked by looking at the various /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/zenity.mo files that this fix works for almost all European languages, germanic, romanic, and also slavic when they use the Latin alphabet: bs, ca, cs, da, de, en_CA, en_GB, es, eu, fr, gl, hr, hu, id, it, lt, lv, nb, nl, nn, pl, pt, pt_BR, ro, sk, sq, sr@Latn, sv. A notable exception is .. Finnish :p So if you still have a high rate of downloads from your file server, this minor improvement would help a fairly large percentage of the world population... Another thing that I found important in particular when using non-English keyboards was that sticky keys should be commented out in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. It produces too many weird effects, at least for my German keyboard, apart from the fact that also the Control key is made sticky, which may lead to very unexpected behavior. Btw, upon running nmap in Debian chroot, I found that /etc/hosts in the Debian image reads Code:
127.0.0.1 Nokia-N800-23-14 localhost |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Hi Rebhana,
Do you have any clue when open office will get full armel support from Debian again. Presumably open office 3.+ would be available then. |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
qole and rebhana:
It would be nice if openoffice 3.2 was available. According to openoffice.org there is a significant speed up of start up times with 3.2. They claim a 46% improvement from 3.0. I currently have 2.4 on the n900 and it takes about 45 seconds for Writer to come up. Assuming 2.4 and 3.0 have the same start up times (need to check). That would make the cold start up 24.3 secs. Now, if you are willing to risk (to quote qole) "frying" your processor at 900Mhz you can get it down to about 18 secs. lenny-backports has version 3.0 for armel but I could never get it to install. Anyways, It would be good to know why they were pulled before getting what you wish for. I noticed 3.2 on squeeze but not for armel. BTW I tried the Ubuntu version and it came with openoffice 2.4. Not sure where to find 3.+ compiled to run on n900 with ubuntu Anyways, I think you are doing a great job. I like Easy Debian. and having linux on a device you can fit in your pocket especially when flying and having to juggle stuff (laptops, luggage and shoes). |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
mscion: I'm just a user of Easy Debian (beta tester would be really the wrong description), it's really qole alone who achieved this infinitely useful application and I have joined this thread only when everything was already working very smoothly. One of the few remaining useful threads here in fact - too many seem to be so bored that they spend their time checking for PR1.2 and telling each other about that, and others wail endlessly about missing functionality, while Easy Debian gives hundreds of programs to try at one stroke. Just yesterday I discovered a cute genealogy program (gramps), installed that on my Linux laptop and found that it is completely functional on the N900 too (though only working with debbie, not under LXDE, where it simply does not start!?).
As to OO3.2, I think it's just a question of time, but I'm already more than happy with the present version. So no need for Documents To Go to be able to inspect office files somebody sends to your device. That's all I actually need. |

As I said, everything works fine when I start gramps from debbie. Under LXDE, it just won't start. Launching gramps from a terminal within LXDE, I get the following error messages Code:
5697: ERROR: gramps.py: line 138: Unhandled exception For no good reason I tried again, but started LXDE by Code:
sudo debian su - user -c xephwm5 I guess that supports my previous statement that chroot should be done with "su -" throughout, and all openoffice environment variables set in the image. So that would be something for the next version easy-deb-chroot to consider. (My above suggestions for v3c are of course independent of that.) Btw, monitoring xephwm5 I noticed an apparently harmless error. The script always produced "trl: command not found". What's that? |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Hello all,
I've do the process as showed here ' http://mundo-n900.blogspot.com/ ' (i dont search here in talk maemo due to personal reasons with the computer where i went). Is keeping "unpacking" since 35 minutes. Phone shows processor up and down, it's slowing, so, i think its doing something but..35 minutes ? Any ideas ? Thank you.. |

usually Centos follows suit after a couple of months. Hopefully Debian will do the same for armel. Also I agree that having OO beats Docs to Go. Version OO that easy debian sets you up with is 3.0 so you are in good shape if you do not need to make equations (It will show the equations from an OO file made elsewhere. Just can't create them). |

As I said, I'm not using OO so much myself. But I have a complete LATeX installation on my N900 :cool: I'm just waiting for wireless beamers, then I could give my physics talks with the N900 and could leave my laptop at home for good. |

Hi Qole,
Thanks first off for saving the n900 in my eyes. Sterling work. I have installed filezilla through synaptic and its perfect. I can take the sd card from my camera and use gimp,. etc.. Can any one recomend a wysiwyg editor similar to dreamweaver that i might try in debian Ive installed emacs and tinymce but was a bit lost any thoughts appreciated. |

Hi its read only or says Cant open to write. Hmmm Im sure this obvious stuff to most here. I cant edit the file sources.list :confused:

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
taptap,
It is important that you edit it as root, so use the red swirl icon or run "sudo debian" from a terminal. |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Im sure im in as root but when I go to save the edit it says Cant open to write when it is open already.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Hey qole really nice app this one :D
I have one question though. After i did the latest opdate all of the programs in the lxde dissapeard. Reinstalled the easy debian and downloaded a new image and installed that and this made it work again exept for one thing the danish (scandinavian) keyboard layout do not work anymore and without that the open off. wont really be of any use to me. We have extra letters in the alphabet (æøå) :) How to fix that :confused: e: Have tried to set language to danish in open off. did not work. I've pushed the lxde keyboard fix and it starts up and i can press an ok button but that changes nothing :( |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Has anyone had any success installing gcc?
I'm trying to get citrix receiver installed and have downloaded the armel-deb package from citrix. One of the pre-requisites is to install openmotif and as there is no deb package available I need to complie from source. Every time I try to install gcc I get errors: Code:
[root@deb-m5v3b: /]sudo apt-get install gcc |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
qole,
Well, I decided to give ubuntu one more try (warts and all). It turns out that it comes with OO3.1. I do not know why I got OO2.4 with the previous try (see #967). Perhaps something related to my previous downgrade to get the equation editor to work with the debian version and then not uninstalling properly. Anyways, I then tried aptitude -t lenny-backports install openoffice.org as you suggested and instead of downgrading the version stayed the same and the equation editor worked! I was surprised with this result because I was using a debian repository. I guess because ubuntu is built on debian it worked. Hopefully this will give some clues as to why the install on debian does not work or downgrades. In regards to performance, the start-up of OO takes longer on ubuntu, about 20 seconds longer then debian, but it seems to work ok once past that stage. Rebhana, In regards to starting a new thread concerning "Speculations about a possible release date for a new Easy Debian image with OO 3.2" I think I'll pass. But I might add that I was able to download and install OO3.2 with no hitches on my IMAC. Perhaps a conspiracy theorist could pick up on that. Personally I'm afraid to... |

Hi.
Kompozer is in the menu under internet and programming but when launched I get 10 seconds full cpu showing and then nothing. When I sudo kopozer I get (process:2202) Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using fallback `C´locale.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
taptap: "Segmentation fault" is bad. That means it is just crashing. I wonder what version of Mozilla they're using. Because if they're using the engine for Firefox 2, then it will never work on armel; they never fixed Firefox 2.

KompoZer 0.7 is not compatible with GTK ≥ 2.14 — expect crashes.
