Hi qole,

I'm currently downloading the new version. Besides including OO 3.2.1 are there any other changes or fixes? Perhaps this is documented somewhere? I didn't see anything in the wiki.

Thanks!

Hi mscion,

I updated OO.o and Gimp, tested to make sure I didn't break sound (I didn't), and changed the xephwm5 script to use the keyboard focus helper that works with PR1.2.

That's all. I checked around and didn't see any other requests. Was there something important that I forgot?

OO.o is definately coming up quicker. Takes about 20 seconds
which is noticably better. Also If I close and open OO writer it takes
about 5 seconds. I see that the math editor is not included so I got
it using snyaptic, which, by the way, has a nicer look, from squeeze.
However this is not sufficient to get all the math fonts needed, even
for some simple partial differential equations, so I also got
openoffice.org on squeeze. This did not seem to make a difference
with timings. Equations look good now.

Using "ctrl up" did not make full screen and my key definitions did
not work. So I have to go check .xbindkeysrc. Not to worry, I have a
copy of the one I was using somewhere and will try it later.

Thanks again for the improvements.

Have to make a correction... It appears equations are not accurately
reproduced if they were originally made with WORD. This may be due
to the version of OO being used. I had been able to do this
before. Am checking...

mscion: The .xbindkeys file is part of the Easy Debian package, and that didn't get updated here, only the image file. Check to see if you have an .xbindkeys.dist file, and if you do, copy that over .xbindkeys and that should get the new key combos working.

I haven’t been following this thread but something came to my mind. There is much talking about the lack of flash 10.1 in maemo. Is it possible to launch a browser in debian which supports flash 10.1?

Hi did I do something wrong? I installed the latest easy debian today and put the debian chroot on my desktop. now when I click the icon I end up with the following prompt...

root@Nokia-N900:/#

pwd reveals I am at / which I assume is the root of easy debian. hmm I would like to be root at /root with a prompt that reflects that I am in the chroot as opposed to Nokia-N900. I had easy debian back in the pr 1.2 days (I hosed my install) and think the prompt was different and that I was taken to the /root back then.

Anyway thanks for listening, I will start looking at my old posts so see if I had some custom configuration when I had it installed under 1.2.

Hi qole, it will be a couple of days before I have enough time to test the new image. Did you upgrade libpulse0 to the squeeze version? Without that I couldn't install the python stuff for eric and calibre, but upgrading libpulse0 broke sound for me.

I have here the very same problem.

Actually I run the "v3d" version without any trouble but I would want to upgrade.

I don't delete this image to unpack the new "v3e". I think delete is not necessary (is it?).

The device reboots itself while unpack the "v3e" image file.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
