OK, after trying with fresh image *and* LXDE desktop open, dist-upgrade went without errors seen last time. Also, I was able to install "ugly" pulseaudio pack without problems, and sound is working fine.

Ho ever, I'm still unable to get special characters working - on N900 keyboard nor using external keyboard. blue arrow keep acting like AltGr (which is it in reality - just using Maemo special layout, pressing it and certain letters produce symbols from layer 3).

This is "blocker" for me, unfortunately, so any clues welcome warmly. qole, You've prepared original Easy Debian images with special maemo keyboard layout included - any suggestions, how to bring it back? I've tried copying /usr/share/X11/xkb to /.debian/usr/share/X11/xkb (from within Maemo) plentora of times, by plain recursive cp, cp -a, cp -a -f... to no avail. I feel, that somehow, fixing it must be trivial, I'm just too less experienced on those things.

Also, every time I open LXDE, wicd complains about not being able to "cope the user's Xauthorization file", thus not being able to run /usr/sbin/wicd as root (after that, it throws some other messages about killing UI etc.) Is it safe to uninstall wicd, given way we "share" maemo wifi connection? Also, when I try to purge/uninstall wicd, apt-get tries to install plentora of packages related to many connection types. Of cours,e ti doesn't try to install them via pure apt-get upgrade - so, I presume, that those packages are to substitute for what wicd was doing. Any ideas, how to proceed in our special chroot case?

Last but not least - this time I'm absolutely sure, that it's just my noobines, so be patient please. After dist-upgrade using repositories as per wiki page, I'm unable to find certain packages (for example, I tried to upgrade OpenOffice to LibreOffice, but I can't find it). Should i now add some additional repositories? I'm quite confused how it works now, as Squeeze is stable for certain time (how to maintain repositories in ED, to get not too-new versions, that will break everything).

Thanks in advance for any clues.

// Edit

Of course, problems with keyboard occur only in LXDE - Ed programs started from Maemo shortcuts or 'debbie' works well.

Also, I lost possibility (no matter if via LXDE or Maemo 'debbie') to invoke right/middle click by our elegant method of:
...(and similar) in /home/user/.xbindkeysrc. At the same time, binds like F1-F11 (via xvkbd -xsendevent) works fine - same for fullscreen, etc.

So, I suspect, that xdotool was screwed during dist-upgrade process. Another blocker, that I don't have idea how to fix.

From minor regressions - OpenOffice used via 'debbie' (or Maemo shortcut, it's same thing) starts in grey theme - grey document view etc (so it's very hard to see what You're writing). simple workaround for that is to...
...before running it. This way, we unset Maemo theme for that terminal session, and everything is fine again. ho ever, we need to do it every time we open new terminal and 'debbie' our program, so it's wise thing to create a script that does it before invoking openoffice. Then, we just modify Maemo shortcut to point to script instead of doing directly 'debbie openoffice.org').

This might happen for other programs to, and workaround should work for all of them.
