I haven't seen such behavior yet. Do you have that also in other applications?

Nope, not outside of LXDE, just any application running inside LXDE. Not sure if there's a keymapping cfg file specific to LXDE I should edit?

avidscavenger: I don't know specifically what's happening, but you have two image files mounted with the dmloop, and your N900 crashes when attempting to close all apps running in the image file (using fuser). I suspect there is some kind of interference between the two image files.

I don't have that for any application inside LXDE. What national keyboard do you have?

I'm using a US keyboard.

Nevermind,

I replaced the /usr/share/X11/xkb under my debian partition with the same directory from maemo side, and it worked!
Still not sure why I suddenly needed to do this following the PR1.2 update, but either way it works now.

I love this app!

I'm a web developer and having an installation of PHP and MySQL on a portable device is a big deal for me.

I do have 1 request though. Can we have an option to install an image without all the bloatware? I'm not particularly fond of Open Office, nor do i plan to use Gimp/Firefox. I just need a simple terminal.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
would there be any way to get calibre installed via apt-get on easy debian? I see it is not in the repo, Is there a repo I could add and then after install just disable the repo?

or would moving to the version I see in extras-devel work?

the only 2 apps I really need (well apart from a phone) on the n900 are a real linux with all command line apps (so thats easy debian not maemo) and an epub reader that can show me the table of contents in my oreilly epub books (that is calibre not fbreader evidently).

thanks. loving the learning I am doing on easy debian from the regular repo but willing to get experimental to get calibre ....

You can easily do that yourself. Just de-install everything you don't want, either with synaptic or aptitude. But unless you want to free some space in your image (which itself will have the same size), why would you? Just out of disgust?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
qole: not really. I just don't have a need for them. also, a bit OCD seeing so many icons on my device that i would never use.

I'm actually fine with just removing them. If you could just list the packages installed, that would be fine as well.

1 other service i plan to run is asterisk. do you think it would install properly?

Btw, side note, i'm fairly new to linux. I've always developed my webapps (PHP) on Windows making sure they'd run properly when on linux.

To just get rid of the icons remove (or move away) the unused .desktop files from Maemo's /usr/share/application/hildon directory.

Also for the list of packages you don't need qole: In Debian chroot do
Code:
dpkg --get-selections
or fire up aptitude or synaptic.

Finally: this is a beta testing thread. So you can contribute by trying out something like asterisk in Easy Debian and reporting back to share what you found or asking for assistance.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
Hi I'm a french user of easy debian so excuse for my english.
For me Gramps functione under lxde (office menu) and start from debbie.
On the other hand it doesn't functione with shortcut. I can se my shortcut with icon in my applications, It start then stop.



Here is my gramps.desktop

IHave you got any idea?
Thanks

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:

    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 1-3: invalid data
How can that be, as there were no errors at all with debbie! :confused:

For no good reason I tried again, but started LXDE by
Code:
sudo debian su - user -c xephwm5
instead of just "debbie xephwm5". All of a sudden gramps works without errors! :D:confused::D Curiously enough, I didn't need "su -" with debbie for gramps to work...

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?

rebhana: i'd like to report that i have successfully installed asterisk on easy debian. However, as the wiki stated, keep your expectations reasonable. It does run and i was able to make a call. I was even able to install FreePBX BUT the CPU ran at around 10% on idle and jumped to around 50% on a call. Considering i was connected to myself (setup a local and connected the n900), i was surprised that the connection was choppy. I will still keep it installed just for the heck of it. :)

Is there a way to have Easy Debian load with Multiboot. As I have Multiboot installed and loading Maemo, Power Kernel and now NITDroid, Loading Easy Debian this way would be very clean.
If you could offer any assistance if at all possible in a very simpleton format I would be most appreciative.

The problem might be different python versions in Debian. You could try
Code:
apt-get install python
to upgrade the default version (which is 2.5 in lenny) to the squeeze version 2.6.

2.5gb (Easy Debian)
1.9gb (For NITDroid)
3.5gb (NITDroid) approx, what ever is left over.
Typically for the NITDroid we did the following:

Qole,
Used GParted, thanks, was very easy. As aware, I wish to run both Easy Deb & NITDroid off the SD Card. I got the SD Card partioned into 3.
mmcblk1p1 approx 3.3gb NITDroid (fat32)
mmcblk1p2 approx 1.8gb NITDroid (ext3)
mmcblk1p3 approx 2.4gb Allocated for Easy Debian (ext2)

I reflashed both FIASCO & eMMC and then installed NITDroid, is installed and working perfectly on a clean slate. I am now trying to install Easy Debian and looks to all be ok except it tries to install on the mmcblk1p1 (NITDroid). I don't wish for it to be on NITDroid's allocated partition, what should I do?
  • Can I force Easy Deb to install on the mmcblk1p3?
  • Do I make the mmcblk1p3 also fat32 and if so will it still try and load on mmcblk1p1 as it is the first partition?
  • Any suggestions?

Stephen

Coffee: The easiest thing to do is to get this file:

debian-m5-v3b-rootfs.tar.bz2

Untar it as root into the Easy Debian partition on your card. You can do this on your phone or, faster, on a Linux computer.

quick question, if I open easy debian and then just close the terminal (as opposed to using the close debian icon), does this use more battery, cpu etc?

Qole,
I have downloaded the file mate. Could you please advise how I extract to mmcblk1p4, this partition is formatted as ext2, ready and awaiting for her. Sorry, I have no idea to to copy it across from MyDocs.
