Hi all,

Sorry about this, I'm pretty n00b and don't really understand how anything works.

Wont putting debian onto an MMC wear it out quickly with lots of writing and re-writing?

@JustNick it didn't work it got this error:

syntax error near unexpected token `&&'

coosbaytv:

Just a slight difference from JustNick's suggestion. Do this instead:

Thanks qole...

will try this in a few minutes...

So, is there someplace that I can get the info to learn about the basics of the commands and structure of Easy Debian rather than having to bug you all for every little thing?

@qole ok, 306MB free after removal of open office...

would removing the browsers gain me anything as well? I am really only interested in using the maemo browser anyway.

also, do the rules of the PC world apply here as well? I am referring to, now that I have over 300MB free in that ISO file, will the apps run smoother or faster?

I don't think that's a rule in the PC world. Hard drive space has very little impact on application performance.

It would be nice for new people doing this to see some sort of progress bar on the uncompression because with no feedback the first time I think i escaped the window, thinking there was going to be no indication of a finished uncompression and install.

Now nothing regarding debian works. OO, synaptic, iceweasel, anything.... I'm re downloading and trying a reinstall but now I'm worried another almost 2 gigs of space taken up on my card and also maybe double installation of some things.

An hour Later: No luck. I kill as many apps as i can and then try to run debian lxde and it comes up with a window that says

"this is a debian lxde window. Instead of closing this window you should log out." None of the other apps work.

Another hour later: I uninstalled easy mer and now it works.

It's not completely true if we consider file fragmentation and the use of swap file. Of course this is mostly a Windows problem

hy man! I've installed easydebian just for curiosity, and I admit is very well done (apart the sightly slow of some applications xD)
now that i've installed all, how can i remove icons like "install debian image" or the "openoffice" icon (because I've unistalled it)
who can help me??

EDIT EDIT EDIT :
- - - Ctrl+Chr doesn't work in OpenOffice/easy-devian .

EDIT EDIT :
Another thread just taught me about the Ctrl-Chr switch.
( Nothing in my nit manual.)

It solves the problem by switching [ æø <> äö ] ( and cyrillic <> latin).

But if one likes details, the difference described below is still strange.



(Apologies of this was covered before..)

@ qole , with many thanks for easy debian + easy mer !!

I run both in two ext2 partitions on my ext. mmc (N810, OS .43-7).
( debian-sqeeze-rootfs.tar.bz2 , I've forgotten which easy-mer and how I got it to a partition but it came with OO 3.)
OpenOffice 3 in both (as delivered within your easy-xxx-files), with different start logos though.

Those OO text editors behave differently with certain scandinavian umlaut characters.
( Due to differences in OO or "easy-" implementation? )
I guess Russian is affected too.

Look at the rx-44 file.
( /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-44 , found in a post by fanoush.)

In the scandinavian section certain umlauts are defined in something called "EIGHT_LEVEL".
Exactly these come out different with the sliding keyboard.
( I have a swedish N810, set to English as device and Swedish as regional language.)
In easy-mer-OO : the swedish umlauts, as in e.g. leafpad.
In easy-debian-OO : the danish/norvegian umlauts.


Just in case this wasn't known to you.
Thanks again for your great stuff !


EDIT: Additional info.
My N810 changed keyboard layout all by itself.
( It happened once long ago and only reflashing helped.)
A window appeared saying "keyboard layout changed" or similar.

It is exactly the same umlaut characters that changed (, probably as if I had changed to Norvegian or Danish as regional language).

NOW:
Both OOs show the same changed umlauts.

As no changes of keyboard layout or language settings (with reboots) have helped,
I guess something in my tablet mishandles these "type EIGHT_LEVEL" definitions a bit.
