rebhana: You've been a victim of bug 6365 (which I'm proud to say I helped to fix by providing a test case). It will be fixed in an upcoming firmware release.

If you see this behaviour, issue the command from the terminal:
Code:
sudo killall maemo-xinput-sounds

andrewfblack: Not exactly sure what you mean by "the location for root of webserver," but if you mean the html root, just edit the httpd.conf file to point "DocumentRoot" at whatever directory you want, including /home/user/MyDocs/webserver or /media/mmc1/webserver. It should work as expected.

EDIT: Some useful info here.

I'm impressed! So it can be triggered by xbindkeys and one should watch out for it when using that?

So after updating I started getting this error.

Mount failure!
/home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2 failed to mount on loop0

/sbin/qmount: line 195: dmlosetup: not found
mount: mounting /dev/dm-0 on /.debian failed: no such file or directory

Thinking it was the .ext2 img I replaced it. Didnt work.

And I couldnt find this error in the thread.

I have successfully installed and tested zim, a desktop wiki that seems extremely useful for a device like the N900. The newer version from squeeze is working well under Easy Debian, except that one faces the problem that one would occasionally want to use special characters which are not available on the hardware keyboard.

Running zim under debbie, which I would have preferred, I did not succeed in letting xbindkeys together with xvkbd produce some of the extra characters. Function keys F1-F12 can be emulated, but overloading special characters like bracketleft/right (which are missing on my German keyboard) does not work. I'm puzzled that for example
Code:
"xvkbd -text "\[F9]""                                               
 Shift+Mod5 + o                                                     

"xvkbd -xsendevent -text '\t'"                                      
   Control+Shift + t
does work to issue F9 and even allows me to insert a tab character in the text, but apparently no printable characters can be issued by e.g.
Code:
"xvkbd -text "\[asciitilde]""                                       
   m:0x1 + c:65                                                     
   Shift + space                                                    

"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[braceleft]""                            
   m:0x4 + c:33                                                     
   Control + p
Since using xbindkeys in these experiments frequently fires up maemo-xinput-sounds with 100% CPU usage and dramatic battery drains, I switched over to LXDE, where I can in fact just use xmodmap to get more key bindings. (It's a known bug that xmodmap does not work from the terminal, but with LXDE, it's more or less fine, as I've reported earlier here.)

The only problem I'm now having with zim is the black background under Easy Debian. As a theoretical physicist, I would like to be able to insert math formulae, which one can do in zim using LATEX and dvipng , but the result is black on black as I discovered after a seeing nothing until I marked larger areas of the text. Too cool to be useful...

qole, you said earlier that the appearance of LXDE was easily configurable when somebody achieved a white background by ssh -X. But if I change themes, not much if anything changes, I always have black background!

You must have kernel-module-dmloop installed. Either uninstall that package, or also install the dmsetup package.

I'm not sure why you can't change the theme. Edit /home/user/.gtkrc-2.0 and comment out the line that says, "MurrinaNightOrange". This will set your colors to the (boring) defaults. Your scroll bars will become narrow again, too.

EDIT: It was xkbcomp that I found triggered the bug.

I got openoffice.org 3.2 to work on my easy debian using the ubuntu-packages for armel, but I destroyed my image in the prossess after when I was cleaning up....

Installed the ubuntuversion found here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...+build/1478069

It looked better than 3.1, and I guess I'll do another try, but it made my apt
unstable, because of some packages I installed and removed.

Here is a copy of my historyfile but remember this will probably destroy something:
420 mkdir office

EDIT: It was xmodmap that I found triggered the bug.
I now found that deleting the line "sNet/ThemeName=MurrinaNightOrange" in ~/.config/lxde/config allows me to change the theme from within LXDE. LXDE seems to change only the entry in /home/user/.gtkrc-2.0. Therefore, when the theme is also set in ~/.config/lxde/config, the only effect of changing the theme is in the small information window at startup about the keyboard.

"MurrinaNightOrange" is more beautiful - I'll try perhaps to change only the background color of some applications like zim.

So far I found xmodmap harmless when run under LXDE. Did you do that in terminal mode or debbie?

If you just want the openoffice to not use the gtk-theme, you could just do: dpkg -r openoffice.org-gtk
