Hey Qole,
I tried out this newest v0.2.2 and it initially took forever to load and then once it was mostly loaded - locked up my device and I had to reboot
Didn't even get so far as to see if the icons were in fact working or not. Sorry.

I really need an experienced shell scripter's help getting my easy debian chroot package put together. I'm really close, but it needs a bit of spit-and-polish before it is ready to be released to the "masses".
Like your KDE package, my package uses a big image file that is mounted by a script. I need to make the initial post-download untarring as easy as possible, with as little use of the command line as possible. I also want to make the postinst and chroot scripts as fool-resistant as possible.
I want newbies to be able to run OpenOffice, AbiWord, and FireFox with Java. My ultimate goal is to let non-guru-types install anything their hearts desire and play around with it. You want to try out Evolution because you've got an Exchange server you just have to have access to? Or you would love to do some batch image processing with ImageMagick but you don't want to hunt all over the 'net for the Maemo packages? Just fire up Synaptic, install the packages, and go!
So the help I need:
- Really easy-to-use, newbie-oriented script(s) to untar the image file to a specified place, catching and dealing with problems (no bzip2 package installed? maybe "apt-get install bzip2" for the user and try again)
- Clean up the chroot script, make it more flexible and problem-resistant (check to see if the chroot is already mounted, etc)
- Optionally, get the right mouse click mapped to the + HW key using this hack
I have a KDE installer package that is a deb and perfect for this. I was gonna ask johnx if he wanted me to do this already. I can tar up my directory for the built deb and give this to you. My deb downloads the BIG tarball using wget and is restartable if the network connection is lost. It then uses md5sum to verify before installing. I would bzip and tar inside the install package, I dont like unmet dependencies
As for the other stuff I would be happy to take a look

I must say that it is ironic that the very day that I finish building a diving suit for the MicroB browser, the maemo team give it gills. Welcome, Diablo.

Has anyone else tested the deb with the working icons? Does it install correctly or is it broken?
Or is everyone happy with the no-address-bar Diablo browser in KDE?

That said, I again do appreciate the work you did here. I plan to have some more fun with xephyr when time permits?
How goes that install process?

All times are GMT. The time now is 03:50.
Using apt-get assumes internet connection and a repo with it already in there.
(Granted, bzip2 is in extras but that's in chinook extras and people have flashed to diablo now, so you don't see it and on a new flash, extras is disabled by default).
