Looks like you need to redownload it.

dpkg-deb: `/media/mmc2/installs/osso-xterm.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing /media/mmc2/installs/osso-xterm.deb (--install):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /media/mmc2/installs/osso-xterm.deb
And: how do people install this in ~/.osso-xterm? Is that the default?

Thanks!!!

You dl from the thread #1? It is outdated and NOT a .deb file. You go his site, http://www.dnastase.info/nokia_tablet/os2008/index.htm, and dl the .zip file and extract it and follow his instructions. There is NO .deb. file.

I see.

Well, I tried, but didn't work. The program works, but I saw no difference between his and the normal osso-xterm, either when executing the new file through the console, or through a (newly generated) .desktop file. The console does not show the "toggle vrt keyb" menu entry.

I sshed into the N800, and run the console by the ssh console, and got the xterm with the virtual keyboard (?), with the "toggle vrt keyb" menu. The virtual keyboard works, but when clicked it opens the normal keyboards...

So, no idea what is happening. :confused:

Thanks,
L.

It seems that you need qwerty12's script to hide the hildon virtual keyboard. I only have an 810 so I didn't use it, maybe an 800 owner can walk you through it.

On the other hand, why don't you use the modded osso-xterm that qwerty12 maintains ? it has the transparent keyboard plus other niceties and it's packaged as a .deb ...

Oh, I see.

Not sure which xterm you're referring to, but all the links in this post are broken:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=23291

Do you know if he moved the project anywhere else? The original link to a DEB file works, but it probably has several bugs:

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...2&d=1232477106

(the deb is osso-xterm_0.14.mh12_armel.deb)

Thanks a lot!!

The deb is attached to it - how can that be broken? The way I disable the keyboard is dirty and crap (it affects all applications) but I'm not sure as to actually handle it within xterm as libvte handles the keyboard.

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. These two links that you posted in the thread are broken:
http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/libvte4...0mh7_armel.deb
http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/osso-xt...14.mh12.tar.gz

Anyway, is the osso-xterm_0.14.mh12_armel.deb the last version?

I am not sure if I understood, but are you saying that your xterm breaks other apps? Or you have to install a new libvte that breaks them?

It makes sense that the virtual keyword is handled outside the xterm. It would be nice to somehow block the signal that the xterm sends to libvte...

Thanks for your work!
Cheers,
L.
