I have three n00bie questions.:


How do I change the (Maemo) "OpenOffice" icon to open Calc instead of Write?
..Can I make an icon to open a specific worksheet in Calc?


Gnumeric. I presume I install via "Synaptic Pkg Mg"?
.."Gnumeric" only or do I need to install "Gnumeric-common" and Gnumeric-addons" as well? In any order?


Will anything that shows up in "Synaptic Pkg Mg" work, although slowly and with poor I/O?


Thanks for this GREAT package!

RWFarley:

You can copy the /usr/share/applications/hildon/ooo.desktop file to a new file and change the Exec line to "Exec=debbie oocalc" to get Calc to open.

If you install the basic Gnumeric package, it will install gnumeric-common automatically, and you'll probably get what you need, but you may want to install the gumeric-plugins-extra if it has something extra you need.

As for installing other apps, most apps will work. Games and multimedia apps are the least likely to work.

If you always want to start OO with the same file, you could include it as a parameter after "debbie ooffice", with full path.

If you don't abhor the command line, the most efficient way IMO is to define a shortcut
After adding this line to your /home/user/.profile, you can open any file that OO can handle by typing "oo filename" in Maemo's XTerminal (that is, the next time you launch it). If you are curious, the readlink hack in the above is needed because the chroot generally changes your working directory, and "readlink -f" returns the full path name.

Similarly, for gnumeric add e.g.

Okay.. I tried to install this and my battery went flat in the middle of extracting the downloaded image. Now I cannot re-download the image since it ways I already have it downloaded but it cannot extract it due "unkown error". When I'm trying to delete the "debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2.lzma" file from MyDocs it gives me "Read-only file system" -error even if I'm running the rm-command with root priveledges.

Any ideas how I can remove the file from MyDocs and then re-download the package?

Edit: Got it working now. Rebooted the phone and connected it in USB-mode to PC and then I could delete the file in Windows file manager.

How long should the image decompressing take? It's now been on "extracting" -stage almost an hour.

Some have reported times of close to an hour. Has it finished yet?

D-Iivil: happend to me too a weak ago. I managed to solve it by openning maemo terminal and typing "umount /media/mmc1"
and after it rebooting ("sudo reboot")
just don't blame me if your n900 is on fire

QOLE: How do you right click? Please?
I have been trying to customise my desktop (keeps reverting to standard on upgrade) but I can't right click. Seem's like the function has been changed.

kingoddball: tap-and-hold still works for me...

Thanks for your response. I don't think there is anything wrong with my Easy Debian. I still don't have tap and hold. Just tried it. Using stylus, finger and pen.
It's only happened since either the last or second last update.
