It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I don't understand why Nokia made it so hard to port apps to the tablet. Under EasyDebian, GParted has nice small fonts, tap-and-hold right-click, pop-up keyboard, and full-screen. Under Maemo, the fonts are so huge that the layout is mashed up and kludgy, and most users aren't going to have the Easy Debian usability hacks, so they won't have any way to right-click, pull up a virtual keyboard or make the app fullscreen. I am really beginning to see why devs are so loathe to "hildonize" their apps. What a lot of frustrating work!

Anyway, thanks for your effort, penguinbait. If you think this port/hack is worth it (and I'm just being too cynical), I'll try beta-testing some more.
Mine shows up with small fonts and works very well????

That is very interesting, since it didn't look like that when I installed it in Maemo. It had the big clunky Maemo fonts... I have freshly flashed my tablet, I'll install again and we'll see.

Very interesting. Installed it again on a nice clean reflash, and it looks correct; all the fonts are small this time.

A problem, however: All of my ext2 partitions have "!" beside them, and when I get details, it says:

! WARNING:

e2label: error while loading shared libraries: libext2fs.so
open shared object file: No such file or directory

Where do you see the "!" I do not have labels, I labeled my partition, but I see no problem.

If I open xterm and run

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/GPARTED/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PATH="/usr/GPARTED/bin:$PATH"
e2lable

it works fine.




Set Partition Label "qole" on /dev/mmcblk0p4 00:00:03 ( SUCCESS )

Set partition label to "qole" on /dev/mmcblk0p4 00:00:01 ( SUCCESS )

e2label /dev/mmcblk0p4 "qole"

Qole, try installing e2fsprogs, see if that fixes your issue

First I couldn't find e2fsprogs. Turns out they are in Chinook repository, not Diablo.

I removed gparted-hack, with the thought that I'd install e2fsprogs first, then I changed my mind and decided I wanted to have gparted-hack installed, just to see what happened when I tried to install e2fsprogs after gparted-hack.

That's when I found that my mmc cards were no longer visible! I must have to reboot to see them again....?

So I downloaded the .deb again, this time into my Documents folder, and installed it.

Then I added the Chinook repository and installed e2fsprogs.

Ran Gparted. Usual error (with maemo gparted only) about memory card being corrupted.

Hooray, all ! are gone. That was it; I didn't have e2fsprogs installed. Add that to dependencies.

EDIT: Why can't my tablet find e2fsprogs for diablo, when it is right here? Why does it not show up until I add chinook?

EDIT2: Aha, it ISN'T there, only the diff.gz and .dsc files are there, no .deb!

OK, I will update the deb again to fix the e2fsprogs isssue again. Its always something. So its working well now? Let me know if you have any other issues...

Are your cards available after running gparted? They should remount when its complete..
