Just wanted to report another happy customer. This is a great way to add a ton of useful applications without messing around with dual-boot/sd-boot non-sense.
Can't wait for the next release

I hacked around this weekend and got the beginnings of a new input method put together:


It is loosely based on the hexinput method described here.

It has configuration loading stubbed out already, the interface mostly works, and it can send output to the outside world (although only by printing to the console right now). I still have a lot of work to do - I have to make some bitmaps for the buttons that aren't simple letters, I need to develop a mechanism for non-letteral keys to use when activated (like the fx keys, arrows, etc.), and I need to tie it into KDE. It doesn't actually do anything yet unfortunately, but you can play around with it:
hexinput.py

I suggest trying it on a desktop computer though as it is still dead slow on my N800 and has some annoying bugs

Edit: Watch out for the ugly font rendering too. I'm using colorkey transparency on the fonts because they weren't blitting transparently, but on Maemo Pygame can only render fonts antialiased. I was using hot-pink as my transparent color, but with antialiased fonts all the letters had pink halos. So now I am using (15,0,15) as my transparent color, but the antialiased font still comes with a halo, only now it is a black bubble... Guess I need to use white then

i need help - i downloaded all the files and everything but now it says it won't install the files, and now i can't UNINSTALL them...

running an n800 with 2008

I have tried to install KDE on my n810 for a few days and everytime a new problem prevents me from doing so. I have now been stuck on installing kde-3.5.8-mmc2.deb for a few hours now. The internal memory only has the other debs and the KDE358.tar.bz2 files on it and yet when I try to install the second deb it says that there is not enough memory. I checked the file sizes to confirm that they were the right files and it says it is 300kb not 301kb. Is this the problem or is it something else? By the way I am downloading the files on my pc and transferring it on to the memory card which is 2gb. Please help because this kde and koffice seems perfect for me. Thanks in advance for any responses.

I had the same problem. I tried it again but i installed it using mmc1 (external) and it worked!

another success on n800 os2008 mmc1 !!

Thanks penguinbait!! I'm only sorry I waited so long to make the attempt!!

UGH this is so frustrating.

installing kde-mmc1 - first it says it installed, now it says it's installed but not working and I can't UNINSTALL it!

anyone have any suggestions?

So when is version 2 of easy intall KDE planned to be available?

Does KDE run faster installed from a .deb or on a cloned OS with boot options

Thanks penguinbait
I have installed KDE in mmc1 using English as language default, that's the key to success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Usuarios en español usen ingles como idioma y luego de instalar KDE cambien a español, éxitos!!!!!!!!!!
