Re: [Debian] ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 
@ qole : Thank you for helping us run Debian on the tablet.. It is so much more useful as it can be run within Maemo..

Friends - I have an use case where I want to write and read CJK characters on my N810. If I go for MaemoCJK I will loose my good finger friendly VKB.. With Easy Debian I can install Scim Anthy/ Pinyin within the debian and use them for my East asia language specific uses..

After installing Easy Debian (TC ed.) I have done the locale setup to include Japanese and Chinese locales. The above mentioned Scim setup is also done. The issue is I still see junk characters in place of Japanese, both in the browsers as well as in editors like leafpad. I guess there is some font problem and not sure how to get the relevant fonts into the debian environment.. ( Pls note I can read CJK in Maemo itself through the inclusion of fonts).

I would like fix the junk character display issue within the easy debian env.. Pls help

TiA
Shin

shin:

If you put all the necessary fonts into a /home/user/.fonts directory, you should be able to use them in both Maemo and Easy Debian. It probably will require a reboot, first.

Which image is that?
I assume you want me to fix the audio?
I'm sorry but I can't guarantee anything.

Follow my / mordark's instructions:

You need to install alsa as described in this post : http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=290

You might need to copy some libasound_module....so files to your easy debian filesystem.

Then you must set the audio interface to alsa and device to default in lmms.

Restart lmms then you're done

I think most audio apps will work under easy debian once you've set up alsa. Hydrogen does run also.

I am starting to get to grips with this debian. i am excited by the possibilities.

Is there any way I can automate the following sequence so that it runs as a single command in os2008?

1 connect to a network with vpnc

2 launch debian

3 run a shell script which runs a java program. (i have the script already).

You can run a script in your home directory inside easy debian with the maemo command line:

debbie /home/user/scriptname

does that help?

Ooops, just found this old question!

I'm guessing that's because the font's are not being seen by Maemos Xserver. Does anyone know where to put them / how to add them so that they are seen by the 'internal' Xserver.
...

I've tried a few ideas thus far, but no joy in the fonts. Any ideas?

If you want to have fonts that are seen by both Maemo and Easy Debian / LXDE, make a directory in your home directory (or make a soft link to a directory on your SD card) called .fonts and put all the shared fonts in there.

I'll try that.

But I have a more immediate problem. I run the Debian desktop and then open a terminal window. I then open the virtual keyboard (the full one) so that I can enter commands. But every time I hit a key, it seems to have a repeat function working, so the letter is entered again and again until I hit another key or move the cursor away from the keyboard. It's very annoying.
