Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: please reboot your tablet and use the Debian Chroot icon in your menu. Please post the messages you get before the [root@Debian: /] prompt.

hi qole, here it is!
thank you for your quick interest.

Setting up the chroot...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: If you just rebooted (shut right off, then turned on again), I don't understand why you would be getting these errors:
Are you running something else that uses the dmsetup or dmlosetup commands, or uses the loop0 device?

This is a very puzzling error.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

My hildon-desktop never freezes or crashes with my iGo, :S but I can say that I can consistently reproduce this bug now by opening OpenOffice, letting my keyboard sleep, and then press a button on the keyboard to cause this to happen.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

@ qole,
Everything is OK now. I have uninstalled debian chroot and redownloaded and reinstalled ,it is working now. The problem was corrupted download .It is very cool, Thanks for your great job. I have some questions about debian linux:
1. How can we change the desktop resolution? Because, when iceweasel opens windows not fit the desktop and fonts a little big, so when a popup opens I can't see bottom of the window.
2. I couldn't change font color in the Open office writer. There is a button on the menu but when I click no color scale appears.
3. I couldn't write text on the slide in Presentation program.
4. There is a problem in the second keyboard(xv keyboard). Generally, when I click a character one time it writes many characters like aaaaa.
5. Is the Java script active on the Iceweasel browser? Must we install other java package especially for internet banking sites.
Thanks in advance

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Whew. That's good. Because I had no idea what was wrong.

You can either use the "Toggle Movable Windows" if the too-big window is a dialog box, or if it is a window, you can use "Debian HW Keys" then hit (+) and (FullScreen) keys to get fullscreen. That's about all you can do. Changing resolution really isn't an option (without using VNC server)...

I haven't had those problems, but I haven't tried to change font colour in OpenOffice Writer.

This is a known issue. You have to open the XVKB menu by clicking on the button on the lower left and turn Automatic Click to OFF.


Both Java and JavaScript are available. Should work with banking sites.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

No problems with changing font colour through the menu command in ooowriter; I don't have such shortcut on the button bar so didn't test that.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

@qole,
there is a problem about desktop panel(left bar), it has disappeared after some settings and I couldn't back it. How can I fix it?
Thanks

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hi

I uninstalled easy Debian and deleted the image file. I have now booted off my SD card and want to re-install it, however whenever I try to load Easy Debian it gets part way and says that it is unable to install.

Would having a partial installation cause problems?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Steve

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Just tried booting from flash and then installing Easy Debian from the application manager, I still get the unable to install message.

What did I break?

Hopefully this will give you clues?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

There's a conflict between your maemo abiword and the debian abiword. In particular, debian abiword icon tries to overwrite maemo abiword's one.
If you don't need maemo abiword (and you won't need it after installing debian abiword, because the maemo port isn't stable and finished as the debian one) just uninstall that one through the application manager before installing easy debian.
Otherwise, if you want to have both, you could (as root), delete /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/abiword.png before installing easy debian.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Well I deleted the file and I cannot see it in the folder any more, but the program still thinks that it is there, I've rebooted too.

any other ideas? uninstall Abiword?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

to qole:
thanks for advise 2, but it work with same symptoms. Logs been sent to support and they linked me to the connection test page. So, in same connection there are no errors for mac and win, but are with nit. Something inside of Easy Debian is blocking connection.
advise 1: i got this file, have host ip, i can change file, but how exactly it must be wrote there is no knowledge. But i think that's not right solution.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

That's a bug. I don't even include Abiword in this version of Easy Debian. I'll fix that in the next version. Sorry.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I don't think it is Easy Debian, I think it is the current version of Open JDK. I think there still are bugs. Did you try putting the host name & IP address in the /etc/hosts file?

I find that running java applets using "java -jar applet.jar" to be much more stable than running javaws. Try looking at the .jnlp file to see what the .jar file is, and download that file from the server. Then run the .jar file with "java -jar" and see if you have better results.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

@qole,
there is a problem(I think a bug) about desktop panel(left bar), it has disappeared after some panel settings and I couldn't back it. How can I fix it? I don't want to download image file again. Is there a command line for easy install from image file without download?
Thanks

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Ok I have managed to get as far as loading Easy-deb-chroot but it told me that I had an image file installed and to delete it. I did this and ran the image installer, however now it says that I am out of room. I had 1.8gb left on card MMC2 but now even after deleting the image file I only have 811mb. Could it have left some hidden files?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

So I reformatted the card to get my space back and have been able to install fine.

New Version Coming Soon...
 

New version coming out in the next few days. This will fix the few small bugs people have discovered (and some I've discovered myself), and it will make /var/tmp available for the very cool DBus Switchboard, so you can open your .doc e-mail attachments with OpenOffice from the built-in e-mail client, or start Java applets from the built-in web browser...

Is there anything that people would like added? Ask now!

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

This sounds awesome qole!! I can't to install the new version

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I am just curious what this will will do if we have it already installed?

Will we have to re-install the whole thing or just the image file?

Eather way i am extremely anxious for this release!
Thanks for all the hard work!
:)

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I'm not updating the image file until the Open Java team put out a new version of Open JDK 6 that has a working Java Web Start (none of this "invalid xml" error crap!) Hopefully, there's a new version coming soon to Sid. I'll be watching the package page closely...

This new version will simply fix some bugs in the scripts and get things working smoothly with DBus Switchboard. Nothing revolutionary, sorry...

I found a mention in the IRC logs that there's another icon conflict, this time with the deblet.png icon. The fact nobody has pointed this out to me suggests that we don't have any deblet users using Easy Debian to access their Deblet partitions... :( My new version will fix that too.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

@qole
Easy debian couldn't support my usb flash memory but OS2008 supports. Will it support with new version?
Thanks

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I use this to access my Deblet.. I just.. reinstalled last week - got busy - forgot to answer the deblet questions before the battery died.. and haven't had time to rebuild it again :).

Sorry Qole. I love the Easy Debian.. allows me use my deblet and keep the auto-lock features and easy wireless/Bluetooth through OS2008.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: Easy Debian supports everything that OS2008 supports, you just have to do things in the proper order. You see, all the existing hardware attached to the tablet is mounted to Easy Debian at the time you "start it up", but anything you plug in afterwards will not be recognized. So, if you want to use a new device, you need to:

1. Close Debian (use the menu option)
2. Plug in your USB device
3. Open your Debian application / environment

The other option is to manually mount your device (if you can't close your Easy Debian environment). From a root OS2008 terminal, type:

I should probably write another script that scans for changes and remounts your MMC and USB devices when asked.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

@qole,
Yes, you are right. I can see usb flash memory in Easy Debian File Manager anymore.:) Its incredible that we can view and edit alll Office documents in N800 anymore by your amazing invention. This is a revolution for N800. Thank you very much indeed.
God bless you

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

mandrake64: This isn't my invention ;) God bless Sun Microsystems!

Faithful Beta Testers: New version in Extras-Devel, install it and see if it doesn't break your tablet, ok?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I couldn't see this anywhere - Will easy Debian install on Chinook or is it Diablo only?

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I'd love to, but I disabled extras-devel so I wouldn't be downloading other broken updates (canola & numpty physics to name two). I guess I could dive in, install this update, then dive out again. Will that break anything?

As well, what happens to my current setup when I upgrade?

TX

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Please, grog, "dive in, install this update and dive out"

looplog:This app is only in the Diablo repository, but theoretically, it should work in Chinook as well. You can try installing with this .deb. (BETA TESTERS, don't use this one! I need to know if the Extras-Devel version works OK)

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

The package installs fine on my tablet, and unless someone can find something wrong, I'm going to go ahead and promote to extras...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

OK folks. New version in the Extras repository. Lots of little bug fixes.

• You should be able to install it alongside Deblet and Abiword now with no conflicts.
• The "Close Debian" should completely close the turbo loop, so you can safely move or delete your image file without trashing your SD card.
• Easy Debian plays well with the very cool DBus Switchboard now, so you can open Word docs or PowerPoint slideshows that you get as e-mail attachments, as well as run Java applets by clicking on them in your browser (you have to click on a Java Web Start .jnlp or Java .jar file).

And lots of other little stuff to make things subtly nicer.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Must we uninstall easy debian chroot before install new version?

Thanks

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hi!

A little problem: after removing the old easy-deb-chroot, rebooting, removing the image, I have installed the new version 0.9.11 and again the image... reboot... but now doesn't work anything... :confused:

Can You help me?



Thanks in advance!

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

I did the 'dive-in-out' last night but didn't get a chance to try it 'til now Even after a reboot nothing will run. The Debian chroot window will come up, but just a whole lot of errors flash by before it closes (what's the command line to run it? I'd like to try to trap the errors). Do we need to use the image installer & download a new image as well? I did not (yet). tx

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

EDIT: bad advice removed :o

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

No, your existing image is fine, if you've got one. I guess I'd better figure out what to do about that message to make it clearer.

As for your errors, you need to reboot, open up a terminal, and type:

and post the errors here.
