Well I did try to time the decompression again

Code:

# time lzma -d debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2.lzma
real    20m 28.19s
user    3m 32.31s
sys    0m 43.17s

Just a quick question. Do you think it might be possible to install hildon-desktop in Easy-Debian ?

How do you make LXDE look like this? It looks completely different.

This is the default look of LXDE.

Hehe oops. I mean can easy debian look like that? Or does it look the way it does because it saves resources and works faster without all the eye candy.

I am pretty sure if you play around in preferences (openbox configuration manager for example), put the task bar on the lower part of the screen and change the background you will end up with something similar.

Or maybe there is a magic "reset configuration" button somewhere but I am unaware of the existance of such thing in LXDE.

andyph666:

What "eye candy" are you talking about?

I changed the appearance of LXDE to look like a cross between Diablo and Fremantle. A bar across the bottom or top doesn't make sense to me with the aspect ratio of the N900's screen. Putting the bar down the side works better, I think.

Also, the dark wallpaper works better with the dark theme.

As Mandor says, all these things can be modified to your liking.

Mandor: don't bother messing with Hildon stuff in Debian. That leads only to tears and headaches. Your only hope with Hildon stuff is to kill the Maemo hildon-desktop and start the chroot Hildon desktop instead.

See my Easy Mer project for some of the problems with trying to run an alternate Hildon environment...

I had easy deb chroot and today ther was an update available- easy debian. So I downloaded it but it faled to install. I've uninstalled it and try to install easy debian again but it faills to install. Now I don't have my opennoffice which is very important for me. What to do now?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
fw190 and others who see Easy Debian appear on their updates list: It isn't a good idea to download updates from Extras-devel without a bit of research, but if you do run into this problem, you can fix it by updating Easy Chroot (0.2.7) first followed by Easy Debian (0.9.40).

The other option is to disable Extras-devel repository and install Easy Debian from Extras.

What's breaking? I'm moving the icon for closing the chroot to Easy Debian, since Easy Chroot is a command-line thing and shouldn't have any menu icons.

It failed to install for me as well but openoffice and everything still works. Do we just leave it and do nothing?
