@endsormeans:
Thanks for the generous offer, but I don't want a N8x0. The N900 made me hate HW that requires proprietary blobs and I don't want even more of it. |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Hey it's ok sulu :D
I completely understand and commiserate. and nokiabot...if you're really sure you want to help develop for the n810 maemo4 subcommunity.. Then sure it's yours. pm me and we'll sort out shipping. As far as my spare n800 goes... (frankly I think the n800 is the better device 'tween it and the n810...having 2 card slots...it's only failing is no physical keyboard.) I'll post the offer in a more obvious subforum...like development. We really need a fresh infusion of putterers developing on maemo4 so I think doing this is important. |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
I want to make a screencast of the Maemo desktop by using gtk-recordmydesktop on an easydebian chroot image.
When start recording I do get these messages "recordmydesktop is closed with status: 2304 and discription: could not connect to X-server" I do get to see a screencast preview on the N900 screen. Is there any way or chance to get this working? |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
@jellyroll:
I have no idea how to do that with gtk-recordmydesktop, because its behavior seems odd to me. But according to the ffmpeg wiki [1] (and some playing with options on my side) this should produce a more or less acceptable fullscreen video (without sound) of your N900 screen: Code:
ffmpeg -video_size 800x480 -framerate 5 -f x11grab -i :0.0 output.avi I'm no ffmpeg/libav expert though, so someone else might very well come up with a very efficient video codec that produces even better results (no compression at all should be best). The above command only seems to work with (Easy) Debian's ffmpeg (actually libav) and not with Maemo's, probably due to the latter being to old. I can also only run it from within an Easy Debian Desktop (but I can record the Maemo desktop as well) and not via debbie, apparently due to a missing $DISPLAY. This should easily be fixed but I'm too tired right now (2 am) to investigate on that. [1] https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
I have posted sulu's images on qole.org, along with their MD5SUMs.
I discovered, after I had uploaded them, that the jessie image isn't really ready yet, so I'll just post the wheezy link here: debian_wheezy4sulu_armel.img.lzma MD5 I'm quite proud of the fact that the downloads are https secured. If nothing else, you don't have to worry about MitM attacks :) |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
I uploaded a new Jessie/armhf image:

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
hello i've installed sulu's image but cannot change the language to english even when i try with dpkg - reconfigure locales it doesn't bring the language choice. openoffice does not launch and only lxmusic player is there as compared to the first one i install which was the one that comes first when selecting which to install. plz hlp

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
@abdel_95:
Which image did you install? It sounds like one of my earliest Wheezy attempts. Please use the latest image (highest number) of whatever release you prefer! @qole: In case you need some free space on your server, feel free to delete any of my older images, as the newer ones essentially make them obsolete. At the moment I consider only these to be of any use: http://qole.org/files/debian_wheezy3sulu_armhf.img.lzma http://qole.org/files/debian_wheezy4sulu_armel.img.lzma http://qole.org/files/debian_jessie1sulu_armhf.img.lzma |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Please, how can i make gps data available to ED's gpsd ?
|
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
I found that devices that are enabled in Maemo before you start Easy Debian are available in the chroot also. I confess that I don't know how to use the GPS in Linux / Maemo, but it should be available...
This thread suggests that the N9's GPS was a proprietary format, so I suspect you may have similar problems with the N900. http://talk.maemo.com/showthread.php?t=87527 |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
sulu: I'll post the logs once newer pastebinit hits the repos. Meanwhile, one more report:
Installed mnemosyne. The hildon styling, which was present when using the squeeze image, is missing. Besides, I'm unable to gain keyboard focus if I do `debbie mnemosyne` > File > Sync, and try to input the sever address. |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Quote:
Up until Squeeze all images were based on qole's images. qole's goal was to showcase what's possible in a Debian chroot on the N900. My images starting from Wheezy have a different goal: provide the most basic Debian desktop that a slightly advanced Debian user would be able to handle to turn it into something that fits his personal use case. Therefore my images have no artwork except for the basic LXDE theme. Quote:

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Well, pastebinit seems to be more difficult than expected [1]
Gdb itself seems to have problems [2] And what was responsible for the UI styling? Where should I look? As "Hildon styling" I meant the darkened, slightly bigger interface. /edit: Yes, it's the same bug. But why doesn't the window gain focus once it appears, automatically? Besides, the combination fn+enter is already in .xbindkeysrc. Only .kbdactive has to be stripped of sudoes Would it be possible to set the focus on per-app basis for all app's windows?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
About LXDE - after installing x11-utils LXDE launches. The menu icon in the left top corner is missing, a red x is displayed instead.
transmission-gtk works in LXDE. But adding a torrent is impossible since the window is too big and can't be made smaller. |

By default Maemo's $HOME directory is mounted into ED. I don't like the idea of this because it tends to create confusion (at least in my head) which config belongs to which OS. So I made ED not do that a long time ago and I'm not really testing the default case anymore. Quote:
The problem is, that you can't get the keyboard focus back to the window via a mouse click (for reasons I don't know). You need your WM to do that. This is what the script does, while most of its "intelligence" is not in switching the focus but in finding the right window. Quote:

One easy way is by window title. The problem with this is that multiple windows may have the same name or that a window title is changed by its application. The more robust way, which is used in the script is via window id. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/raspbian/+bug/1154042 |

mnemosyne & Still, the problem is that is works only for the parent window. The children windows created by the focused parent remain unfocused. Besides, if I create a new window and gain focus, the parent loses its focus. So it's still far from what's desired. Btw. LXDE stopped supporting rotation. In the old times with forced rotation I could get the desktop with a portrait resolution. Now not, the desktop stays in the old resolution so is cut off. [1] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11227096/ |

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
1. It seems that .gtkrc-2.0 has the MurrinaNightOrange theme, so the windows should be themed. What package is missing in the image for it to be done?
2. The font size is very small in Mnemosyne. Can it be increased? 3. The problem with window focus seems to have it's root therein that the window doesn't regain the focus automatically when it's maximized: you can experience it when you go to the task switcher and then back to the affected app. /edit: 4. transmission-qt causes a watchdog reboot. |

5. /etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf should contain

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Tried to install easy-deb-croot. Couldn't find libxmu6. Tried to fix it with an apt-get but the lib doesn't seem to be available.
This is the second 'app' I try to install with dependency issues - am I missing a repository? I installed CSSU - as far as I know the only repo needed and installed is then extra. |

Works, thanks! Great to have Debian on the N900 and have access to a lot of additional software. Thanks to Qole and sulu for the latest updates and support.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Tried to install telegram but immediately ran into dependency failures.
https://github.com/vysheng/tg sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev libconfig-dev libssl-dev lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libevent-dev libjansson-dev libpython-dev make Beyond my skill set to solve those but before bugging anyone with questions I am wondering - in its current state - is it even possible with easy Debian to install something like telegram? |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Done some more investigating resolved the biggest hurdle (that prevented me from installing anything)
After that I could install dillo and iceweasel - locale error messages and dbus and dbus-x11 error, but they still are installed and seem to work. After that installed libreadline-dev libconfig-dev libssl-dev Result the following packages have unmet dependencies : libssl-dev: Depends: zliblg-dev but it is not going to be installed. E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Anyone knows how to solve this? The following dependencies are needed as well - lets see if those can be installed: lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libevent-dev libjansson-dev libpython-dev make |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Installed lua5.2 - libevent-dev - libjansson-dev and make
Following issues: liblua5.2-dev : depends libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed. E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. libpython-dev doesn't exist so I tried python-dev and this results in another dependency issue python-dev : depends python2.7-dev (>=2.7.3.1~) but it is not going to be installed. E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I assume this problem resides in the arm-debian repository and is not related to Easy Debian? |
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Maybe try apt-get update? And later apt-get install -f
|
Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
Thanks, forgot to mention I also tried that. Unfortunately it didn't help. Tried to install build-essential to have the ability to compile from source. Also ran into dependency issues installing build-essential - apt-get complained about missing libc6-dev.
