Yes that works, it rotates the screen portrait

Ok, then it's not my fault and you can blame Estel and/or qole.

Seriously, please have a look at the file: /usr/share/applications/orientation.desktop
There you'll find this line: Exec=/usr/bin/orientation

If that's true the panel starter should work, even if the icon graphic is missing. If it doesn't add a new starter pointing to: /usr/share/applications/orientation.desktop

Edit:
Do you have an "Orientation" starter in LXDE's menu? If so, does it work?

So how to have Polish letters on hw keyboard with your image and without tinkering anything with the rx-51 file?

You can probably blame me, I must have uploaded the wrong image. Arggh! Sorry, will fix tonight.

Ok, sorry for the false alarm!

The correct Estel image is now posted on qole.org... It includes the orientation icon and the chromium grab+drag plugin that Estel suggested. I also compacted it as much as possible, to improve the download time.

Here it is.

This seems to be case for thing that was bugging me for ages - MyDocs not mounted automaticaly, after using mass-storage mode. It's worth to add, that after such event, next try of mass-storage doesn't work at all.

I have Easy Debian mounted all the time (automaticaly during boot), as I don't want to have longer starting time for ED programs, and I use them very often. So, I can 100% confirm that ED is the case here.

Any ideas why it's like that, and how to fix it? AFAIK, it's happening no matter of image used.

IIRC, just use shift+blue arrow + a for dead_ogonek (so, You have to press letter You want to merge with ogonek *after* that, or press space, in case You want to have ogonek itself. It works the same way for dead_accute (shift + blue arrow + c)and dead_abovedot (blue arrow + z). Lstroke is invoked directly by shift + blue arrow + l, as there is no working dead_stroke (unfortunately).

Yet, I strongly encourage everyone to use own, preffered keyboard mapping, by copying RX-51.

It is quite important that you issue a "sudo closechroot" (or use the icon) before connecting the USB cable for "Mass Storage Mode".

The Easy Debian mount definitely interferes with the USB mode.

Been trying to download 'Estel' image file since yesterday...usually what happens is that file downloads partially and then process stops....best I've done is last night where it downloaded almost all the file except the last 1 MB.....

Just tried again and download is stopped at about 158MBs......

Is there

A. a recommended way to do the install using the installer

or

B. is there an alternate method to do the install by downloading file onto my computer (assuming that I have better luck that way...) and then copying the file onto my microSD card and putting card into N900 and then completing install from there?

Thanks!

The fastest option should be to download the file to your computer, extract it there, copy it to your N900 (either via USB or network) and in Maemo change the path to your image file in /home/user/.chroot

Acknowledged, but why it's that, technically? BTW, Pali updated ke-recv recently, so maybe a workaround for that could be implemented too? Could You elaborate more?
