MaltedVomit:
It would be useful to me if you started LXDE from the terminal, instead of the icon. At the terminal, enter:
I'm hoping that when the panel goes into the continuous open/close loop, that there will be some messages sent to the terminal that we can use to determine what's going on.Code:debbie xephwm5
It looks like I get "Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/..." a few times, then "unrecognised device identifier!" twice, and then things are quiet.
Could you see if you get any more messages than that?
Also, I find closing the chroot really can fix a lot of problems. Use the "Close Debian" icon before starting again.

I have looked into the error messages and warnings I'm getting from launching xephwm5, and there are a few more involving inet6:
Code:
(process:5900): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/Nokia-N900-42-11:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

No big deal, I would just like to know what causes problems like the one you suffered.
I find that hitting the "Close Debian" icon after you've logged out of LXDE is a good practice, just to ensure that nothing from your Debian session is lingering in the background, eating your battery. Also, I think keeping the image open can cause other performance issues.

Please, anyone who is non-English speaking, with some technical savvy, could you verify rebhana's observations about "debbie-sue" producing better results than "debbie"?
You need to have Easy Debian 0.9.49 or 0.9.50 installed.
Please start LXDE from the icon, as you normally do, and try to type non-english symbols into the terminal. Logout. Then, run "debbie-sue xephwm5" from the terminal, and try the same thing again. Does "debbie-sue" improve things for you?
I would like to determine how important this issue is to the wider audience of Easy Debian.

What's the fastest Micro SDHC card anybody has run Easy-Debian from? Has anybody tried a Class 10? Is there a noticeable difference depending on Class?

I personally have the Debian image mounted most of the time with no adverse effect. However I have a CPU monitor in the status bar which would alarm me if something would run in the background drowning the battery. When that happens, it's usually something within Maemo, not Debian. However, if you are not completely sure what you have done within Debian, it's probably better to close everything afterwards.

I have some things to say.
First, Qole, I am using a N810. NOW how do I extract it?
Second, this goes to everyone. Can SOMEONE tell me the boot order(s) for a N810?
