Re: Debian apps you want for the tablet?
 
I would go post that question in Qole's thread.. I don't do much chroot'ing anymore.. and in my booted debian I have no sound at all.. so I'll deal with gmpc when I get to that one :D.

Did the qtstalker work? Fully?

WOOOOHOOO!! Got your Emelfm2 in Easy Debian. Next is QTParted.

Offtopic, someone should really port QTParted to Maemo :P Installers/Cloners would be so bloody easier then. I have cfdisk but it just.. is cfdisk and doesn't do resizing of fs's and such :P

Yes QtStalker is amazing especially with mouse. I can't believe this little Nokia is now giving live stock feeds and I can make custom packages to stock screen like the pros.
Any idea how to fix the files in fie manager /.images, etc...?

I agree completely! GParted and QTParted both have nice features that complement each other; I'd like to see them both. Or just get FAT32 resizing working in GParted. That'd probably be the best for me. I like the interface of GParted on the tablet better, and I like the way it shows the pending operations in a window. QTParted is a bit too cluttered for the tablet's small screen, and it doesn't have tap-and-hold right-click support like GParted.

StSkeeps I second. I trash my system regularly testing new apps and I need a way to back up full mmc2 with dual boot, KDE and next Deblet. :)

Well. I do have command line parted ported... anyone want to build a simple UI on top of it? :P

Use python.. should not be hard at all. If I get extra time I might look into it.. but I doubt it'll be soon.

OTOH - There was a down-and-dirty "how to port to maemo" tutorial that taught you the basics of what to remove from normal GTK apps to get it to run right against the "maemo" mini-GTK.. so depending on dependencies or source code you could get a really stripped down.. non-hildonized version of GParted I think..

I was actually thinking of that myself, last night, after I successfully re-partitioned my USB HDD with QTParted, right on the tablet. Command-line parted with a simple UI, perhaps just zenity. I was also thinking of a stripped down chroot that had these kinds of utilities all packaged up in a convenient blob, sort-of like those "rescue CD" compilations you can download.

Re: Debian apps you want for the tablet?
 
Here's one I'd like to see brought over and maybe a GUI made for it: apg

(Specifically, apg.. I like it better than pwgen). Anyone know of anything similar already there on the tablet?
