Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I just installed anki and it works all the way to the flashscreen but then this error message comes up (attached)

I have tried dpkg-reconfigure locales.

Help please :confused: thanks

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Just open terminal, print
export LC_ALL='en_US'
anki

May be somebody will advice where write this export to load automatically :)

I installed easy debian and I want to install additional applications (blender to be more percise). I read the warning on the wiki that there is a problem with it.
How can I install applications saftly? via Synaptic?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

pingu: You can install new apps, just be careful when upgrading. I would recommend making a copy (backup) of your image file before installing new applications.

Ive installed VLC, it is ok, but audio is missing.
How can I enable audio under this system?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I have upgrade my image to squeeze and compiled mplayer with optimized flags follow this guide:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=101097
with this /etc/environment
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -ftree-vectorize -ffast-math -Os -strip"
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -ftree-vectorize -ffast-math -Os -strip"

If someone wants to the 2 debs I got from the building, you can download them here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/gmy2o2...-0.0_armel.deb
http://www.mediafire.com/file/xzqmzj...-0.0_armel.deb

It works well for me. I had to do some hacks like not bind /tmp and a bigger image to get the building work on my easy debian.
The building process lasted for about 2 hours for this package.

hstende:

Thanks for your report of on-device compiling! Two hours is honestly not terrible for a mobile device...

Any difference between your mplayer and the maemo one? Performance differences, etc...?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I'd be interested in CPU usage for the optimized version of mplayer. No luck getting pulseaudio profiled yet.

@qole
I have to try to recompile ffmpeg first. I'll do a test then.
With default ffmpeg its a bit slower.time


Some test on a mp4 made with camera.
Running from maemo:

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Easy Debian has been great so far. One bug to report though, when trying to change the display preferences the window will not appear and processor usage goes to 100. Worked fine in the previous release though.

Also tried installing FileZilla after doing an apt-get update.. the program load up but when attempting to connect to any server the program crashes. Just trying to find a good ftp client that supports ssl.

Got to say, since the PR1.1.1 update the whole experience has been much faster!
