Qole,
Following up on the issue of ooo3's database pgm crashing, I tried to init a Mer v12 image following your blog notes.

The 1st app that I installed and tested was Abiword. And what do you know, it appears not to crash as it did when we tested under your easy-mer image based on mer v8 (?). I was able to use the hildon keyboard successfully and switch back and forth to other running apps... scroll thru a 22 page document... all of this used used to cause crashes before.

As for OpenOffice, I am not so lucky... I was able to install the whole thing -- plus the OpenOffice GTK and Gnome packages. And indeed, I was able to start OpenOffice from the chroot command line... but I am crashing whenever the File Browser is invoked.

Code:
[root@chroot: /]openoffice.org
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

undefined symbol: gtk_file_chooser_get_files
[root@chroot: /]
So I must be missing something that is not spelled out in your notes... also, when trying to launch an app with debbie, I get

Code:
~ $ debbie abiword
Starting Debian abiword
No chroot dir specified; using /debian
/media/mmc2/mer12-armel.img.ext2 specified in ~/.chroot
qmount /media/mmc2/mer12-armel.img.ext2 /debian
/debian has a qmount already!
/media/mmc2/mer12-armel.img.ext2 already mounted on /debian...
Everything set up, running chroot...
Unknown id: user
What additional bit of configuration am I missing here?

Anyway, maybe it is time to bring forward your easy-mer package. :-)

Best,
