No, the onclosechroot.rc script doesn't exist.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Thank you Quole, that did the trick, no mysql in ps -ef now when closing easy debian.
ok time to look again at easy fedora if I can get the repos working... again much thanks for this most useful application. I am sure with looking for work you have better things to do then update the app, so I really appreciate your responsiveness. |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Hi, can I run debian completely as root? I dont like writing password many times... Thank you

Thanks Rebhana and Groxx for useful advice and links. On a slightly different topic, I was wondering, given the success of making such a nice working environment on the n900 via easy debian, which we owe quite a bit to qole, what will be the future of easy debian on the next generation of devices? For example, when the n9 comes out, (assuming it ever does) will there be an effort to have something like easy debian on that device? |

2 unrelated questions:
1) Is there an option to have easy debian close (unchroot) when you close the terminal? 2) trying to learn perl and trying to install the perl-doc package and getting the message The following packages have unmet dependencies: perl-doc: Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages [root@deb-m5v3d: ~] I have this version...

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
OK I have a super-small script that gives keyboard focus to the currently active window. Tested it on PuTTY and it works.
So now I need a consensus for a good key combo to trigger the script. Also the xbindkeys codes (like "m:0x4 + c:111" for Ctrl + Up) would be nice for your combo. Rebhana? :) EDIT: I'll go with Fn + Return if someone gets me the xbindkeys codes. |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
New version 0.9.54 in Extras-devel puts that small script in your home dir and adds the needed lines to ~/.xbindkeysrc file. If you are upgrading, you will have to add the lines manually to your file or just

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Hello
I tried to install easy debian to N900 from repositories. Device downloads the file succesfully but did not manage to decompress the package, used a lot more than 1 hour. I decompressed the file with Ubuntu and it is visible at x terminal but I can not figure out how install it. I tried with ./ but it gives a note that permission is denied. Command chmod 777 did not help neither. So how to make the installation to run? |

Thanks for the tip, now it is working fine. This tip could be added to the installation instructions also if someone is having access to those.

@qole: If you have time and resources for that, what about upgrading your present image file to OpenOffice 3.2.1 from squeeze and posting that as v3e or v4 on your server? On that occasion you could also fix /usr/bin/xephwm5 and do some security upgrades from security.debian.org for lenny packages. Fixing xephwm5 would be good for users who do not go beyond Extras, and I'm afraid it will take some time before the devel version of easy-deb-chroot will enter Extras, given the dependence on murrinanightorange. |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Does every debian program run on the n900? e.g. Hattrick Organizer http://www.hattrickorganizer.net/en/download/ (needs JRE) or stuff like Maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/download.html
Hope this is the right thread. Thank you |

@extendedping: I tried again calibre, and now it worked out of the box, perhaps due to some updates of the Debian squeeze distribution.
It takes some time to start, but once running, it's working well. See this youtube video if someone doesn't know yet what calibre is good for (I didn't). CAVEAT: Like with eric4 (see post above), this needs the .kbdactive fix of the last easy-deb-chroot version for debbie keyboard focus, and moreover libpulse0 from squeeze. The latter breaks sound in Easy Debian, however. If you need sound in Easy Debian (I don't really), you may want to wait until somebody (qole?) could tell us what to do about it. |

it failed.

So my question is, as I'm concerned about removing files that should not be touched, where are some good places to look to remove files to clear space for this installation? |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
qole, eric and calibre from squeeze need an upgrade of libpulse0 and as a consequence also of libpulse-browse0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulse0 pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-x11 pulseaudio-utils. After that sound is again broken in Easy Debian. Running

Playing around with calibre I must say I like this program more and more. Although really sluggish on startup, it seems to be a nice news reader which has a large and interesting repertoire of web sites providing news, which one can download into e-book format for later perusal. It also has a cool animation for flipping through book covers. Thanks extendedping for drawing my attention to it!
I also can report that upgrading calibre to 0.7.18 as provided by Debian sid is no problem. Below is a screenshot of that version. EDIT: If you want to install calibre, see my post above on how to install from squeeze. Upgrade to the sid version of calibre only in a second step, and get back to lenny as soon as you are done! |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Quote:
posted but I am unable to find it. How do I directly install using apt-get from the sid repository? Also I'm a little confused about interpreting version numbers. The squeeze version is 7.7 the sid version is 7.18. In this case, do you just compare the number to the right of the decimal so it reads as version seven point seven vs seven point eighteen? |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing

Code:
apt-get update Btw, the central picture with flipping book covers is also there in version 0.7.7, when you click the appropriate button in the lower right. The general outlay has however changed. And, yes, version numbers are not like decimal numbers. |

Obvioulsy the safest set up would be to set the Pin-Priority First: stable (lenny), Second: testing (squeeze), Third:unstable (sid). |
