The 400MB install version? Because I have no idea where the 2GB installed version is....

if you extracted the tarball using the command you quoted above, it should be located at the location you executed the command from (the .downloads folder).

I downloaded the image twice now, and still getting the following error:
xz: debian_wheezy0sulu.img.lzma: Compressed data is corrupt

Re: [Announce] Easy Debian for MeeGo Harmattan
 

Version 1.0.3 of Easy Debian Harmattan is released with more changes :

1) the icons for individual applications now open them as user, not anymore as root. So MyDocs is shown for opening and saving files.
Some applications writes to the "/home/user" directory when outside LXDE, so if you have used OpenOffice, Iceweasel/Firefox, Icedove or Abiword outside LXDE before v1.0.3, then remove some directories with wrong (root) permissions. In X Terminal, type :
$ devel-su
root password,
# cd ~user
# rm -rf .openoffice.org
# rm -rf .mozilla/firefox
# rm -rf .icedove
# rm -rf .AbiSuite

2) the fonts and GUI appearance inside and outside LXDE are changed (see the updated screenshots of the 1st post) :
- font Droid Sans 10 for applications outside LXDE, specified by the file "/home/user/.gtkrc-2.0";
- font Droid Sans 12 for LXDE, see file "/home/user/.config/lxde/config";
- LXDE with large window title bar with larger buttons, specified by the title font DejaVu Sans 18 in file "/home/user/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml".
So it is now easier to read and interact by tapping the screen.
You can tune the font size to your preference by editing the above configuration files (which are now installed by Easy Debian package).
And uncommenting (removing #) the line "# gtk-theme-name="MurrinaNightOrange" inside "/home/user/.gtkrc-2.0" gives a darker theme inside and outside LXDE.

Some hints & tips :

a) applications outside LXDE :
+ use full screen and smaller font size, better to read more content;
+ work well with Bluetooth keyboard and N950's physical keyboard;
- don't have MeeGo virtual keyboard;
- loose full screen in some situations;
- have no window title bar to drag and in some cases a large window has not visible buttons, so the user can't do anything except close the application.

b) applications inside LXDE :
+ have MeeGo virtual keyboard;
+ have larger font;
+ have window title bar to drag and large minimize and close buttons;
- have less screen space;
- have Bluetooth keyboard not working 100%, depending on the model, language, etc.

c) when using MeeGo virtual keyboard with applications (OpenOffice, AbiWord, Gnumeric, etc), try to disable top toolbars, change the view, etc, so to optimize the visible space to type. For example, see the 1st screenshot of the 1st post.

Re: [Announce] Easy Debian for MeeGo Harmattan
 

Added to the 1st post instructions to configure physical keyboard (Bluetooth or N950's) to work inside LXDE. See the end of section "Choosing a Debian image".

Re: [Announce] Easy Debian for MeeGo Harmattan
 

They should run full screen. Are you using a good image, without your previous problems of lack of space ?

To test, tap the "Easy Chroot" icon, inside Debian terminal type "gnumeric &", now Gnumeric is open but not in full screen. Go back to the Debian terminal, type "wmctrl -r gnumeric -b add,fullscreen". Tell me if Gnumeric changes to full screen or not.

I don't know, there are thousands of softwares for Debian armel.

Re: [Announce] Easy Debian for MeeGo Harmattan
 

I fixed it! I think I jumped the gun on the decompressing.
All good and it works very nicely!!!!!!! :)

Re: [Announce] Easy Debian for MeeGo Harmattan
 

Check MyDocs space by running, using X Terminal :
$ df -h /home/user/MyDocs
You need at least 3GB available space to use "debian-m5-v3e.img.ext2.lzma" image.
Check whether this image is in MyDocs :
$ ls -l /home/user/MyDocs/debian*img*
should show "/home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3e.img.ext2" (or the Sci-2GB variant), i.e., the uncompressed image.

To check how the disk space of your N9/N950 is being used, use FolderPie.

Re: [Announce] Easy Debian for MeeGo Harmattan : now with VKB on PR1.3 !
 

I have the problem that the menu in lxde is empty.

It works before i used easy-deb-chroot. Any ideas? I have installed easy-deb-chroot_1.0.3-1harmattan1_armel.deb.

Iam using the following image: debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2

I can not start debian application outside of lxde using the icons. Only lxde can be started using the icon. DebianChroot and Close Debian working also. But all other icons doing nothing.

The virtual keyboard inside lxde works.
