dantonic: Try running the fsck command repeatedly until all the errors are gone and no changes are made. Still missing space? Maybe see if a reboot works?

ok so I realized that fsck placed the recovered sectors into two files called FSCK0000.REC and FSCK0001.REC.
These two added up to the missing space of approximately 1GB.

I deleted them and problem fixed.

Thanks for your help qole, learned something new about fsck.

I have a question though: When I start LXDE, the top menu dissapeared, I can now fully see the My documents icon but I can't run a program from the menu as the bar is completely gone. No CPU graph or the 6 squared button that shows a list of programs. I have to do it through terminal. Is that normal?

The fullscreen shortcut (ctrl + up) works well.

I have the same problem. And since i'm from germany, i have a keyboard problem. The fullscreen shortcut does not work for me. To get the "up" i need to use the fn button. ctrl+fn+right (fn+right to get "up") dont do the trick. How about ctrl and space or return ? Dont know much about debian shotcuts, so i dont know if they are mapped to something.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

hi all,

I have been playing around with Easy Debian for 2 weeks now. I have managed to install several programs and run them through LXDE and the "debbie <packagename>" command in x-terminal. These programs include freemind, gnochm, xchm, kchmviewer, fbreader, fotoxx, fotowall, fontyphyton, hugin okular, and phatch.

As you can see above i have installed so many chm viewer programs because i really need them to open my .chm ebooks. Fbreader is great but it cannot handle big files very well (i also have tried FBReader from Fremantle extras-devel). xchm and gnochm load fast but unfortunately they do not support unicode. This means that some characters will appear as squares with numbers no matter what font face I choose. kchmviewer, even though it loads slower than xchm, enable me to change the encoding for any .chm documents. This fixes my problem with squares and numbers.

The keyboard is functional for all these programs if i run them in LXDE. For kchmviewer and okular, the keyboard does not work if i run them using "debbie <packagename>" in x-terminal. May be because they are native KDE applications that causes a problem with the keyboard functionality. I don't know. I really hope I can use the keyboard eventhough running these 'native KDE' applications using "debbie <packagename>".

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

One very annoying bug - It shows a dialog box saying something about deleting package, even when upgrading package version. The postrm script gets a parameter that tells you if its an upgrade or a removal, so you don't need to show the message on removal. Also requiring confirmation is a bit over the top.

One only annoying bug - it opens a dialog box with some message, even when ran from apt-get. Since I do not look at the device, I am left wondering why the upgrade/install process takes so long,

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

Matan: I'll try to reduce the noise of dialogues.

OptX and others with non-English keyboards: can you tell me a good key combo? I'll try Ctrl-space, but does anyone have a better suggestion?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

qole: do you have a menu bar with the easy-deb-chroot? i cant really start apps from the desktop unless i press the terminal icon and type in the app name.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

andyph666: I'm not sure what's wrong with the top menu bar yet. Mine works fine, so it is difficult to figure out why yours is broken.

Can you do the following in the terminal (-L not -1):

Code:

ls -l .config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels

I want to know if there are two files, "panel" and "top", and if they both say "user users" and if they both have the same "-rw-r--r--" at the beginning of the line.

Since I have the same problem, the line above gives "No such file or directory" message.
edit: I thought it was the LXDE terminal you were talking about.
Maemo terminal gives:
~ $ ls -l .config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 1232 Dec 20 03:28 panel
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 1232 Jan 23 13:37 panel.orig
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 1220 Jan 23 05:51 top
~

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

I have 3 files.

panel
panel.orig
top

All three files are user users and have -rw-r--r--

The menu dissapeared since the version before the package in extra-devel.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

Hi guys,

Just groping for suggestions here...

Try deleting the panel.orig file:

Code:

rm .config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel.orig

I also wonder if it is a problem of one of the new plugins (network & battery) crashing your top panel?
