ok it is probably user error but not only did it not work for me but after commenting back the line I put in the .chroot file I was not able to use easy debian. luckly I had backed up the .chroot file before tinkering.

Hey guys,

Could that possible to have a sub-forum for Easy Debian. ED provides a treasure of applications, some of which might well deserve to be discussed in their own threads. I created one of them Calibre on Easy Debian. I would like create another two, xpdf and stardict-gtk on ED type of. What do you think? Should I create them under Alternatives or wait for someone to provide a new space under alternatives?

With the latter, we can well have list of thread showing which apps working fine and which has problems etc...

I want to use XFig in Easy Debian but to do so I need middle, and right mouse buttons. Long press doesn't appear to work in XFig to emulate right mouse button - does this have to do with Motif - and middle mouse button I'm at a total loss on how to do this. Can someone help me get middle and right mouse button emulation on XFig? thank you

happymonkey: I don't know how to get middle button, and the long press right button emulation only works in GTK apps.

You might need to buy a bluetooth mouse if you want 3 buttons...

Thank you qole it's good to know the current limitations for Easy Deb.. One possible solution I've thought of is compiling/installing Easystroke but using the keyboard alone would have been preferable.

After my N900 got stolen and I finally got a new one, I had to reinstall Easy Debian. Fortunately I had kept records of what I had been doing with Easy Debian over the last half year.
On http://wiki.maemo.org/User_talk:Rebhana I have now compiled a concise list of modifications and additions to Easy Debian that I think might be useful to other users of Easy Debian, including a list of packages that I've installed successfully and that I'm actually using regularly.

Dear Qole,

Thank you again for a great application. I have one question which I feel is best addressed to you, the creator of Easy Debian. I have installed 'third-party' applications within Easy Debian such as Putty (for SSH GUI) and Khexedit (a hex editor). The programs runs flawlessly inside the LXDE desktop environment, however if I try to run the programs from the Maemo terminal (after running "debian" as root) all keyboard input does not go in the newly opened program, but instead keyboard input goes on the terminal command line (which I can see once I quit the application). Stylus support works well, I can click stuff, but I cannot enter any text to show up in the applications.

I often like to initiate non-Maemo programs such as Putty and Khexedit directly from the command line (as opposed to entering the LXDE environment), can you please provide any ideas on how to get the keyboard to input commands correctly?

Thank you again

I have a similar problem. It is with the game Tile World. I tried using qobi-wmhint-fix through a shell script to bring focus back to the game but I'm having trouble automating it. I can get it to work manually though.

Would it be possible for anyone to create a program or shell script that will run a program and apply the fix automatically to it after running it?

You could try something analogous to qole's hacks for LXDE in $CHROOT/usr/bin/xephwm5 (but with qobi-wmhint-fix in place of setfocus), to wit,
Code:
#!/bin/sh
##################################
#Change these two variables to the WM of your choice.
WMNAME="$1" ; WMEXEC="$2"
[ "x$WMNAME" != x ] ||  WMNAME="Xephyr"
[ "x$WMEXEC" != x ] ||  WMEXEC="startlxde1"
##################################
export DISPLAY=:0
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event3
#export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
export GTK_MODULES=libgtkstylus.so
zenity --display=:0 --info --title="Information" --text="Welcome to Easy Debian LXDE. This window is needed to gain keyboard focus in LXDE. Click OK." &
/usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -screen 800x480 -br -ac &
while [ "x$PARWIN" = "x" ] ; do
  # wait for Xephyr window to appear
  export PARWIN=`wmctrl -l | grep -i $WMNAME | awk '{print $1}'`
  echo "($PARWIN)"
done
DISPLAY=:1 ; habak -mf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/DroidSans-Bold.ttf \
     -ht 'Ctrl-back to return to dashboard.'
DISPLAY=:0 ; wmctrl -i -r $PARWIN -T 'Easy Debian'
wmctrl -i -r $PARWIN -b toggle,fullscreen
while [ "x$TWOWIN" = "x" ] ; do
  # wait for Zenity dialog to pop up...
  export TWOWIN=`wmctrl -l | grep -i Information | awk '{print $1}'`
done
#echo window id: $TWOWIN
wmctrl -i -a $TWOWIN
sudo /sbin/qobi-wmhint-fix $PARWIN
#/usr/bin/set-focus $PARWIN
wmctrl -i -a $PARWIN
/usr/bin/$WMEXEC
killall Xephyr
export DISPLAY=:0
That could perhaps be adapted by replacing WMNAME and WMEXEC according to your needs.

Or have you already tried exactly this?

critical impact:

You've given me a great idea. I'll add a script to apply the keyboard fix to the current window to the keyboard hacks (the Set Deb HW Keys icon).

Any idea what key combo would be the best to activate the hack?
