Can't wait to give it a spin. Being able to use the same partition to boot from and chroot into would be great (with the easy setup of course).

Here's the rootfs for the partition. Just plain Mer 0.15 with tweaks to work in a chroot.

http://qole.org/files/easy-mer-015-1.tgz

You need to change, in Maemo, /usr/bin/mer-switch to run start-hildon-easymer instead of start-hildon... (no longer necessary when using easy mer 0.15 deb)

I am camping for a couple of days, but I'll try to get my updated .deb out the door asap...

Thanks, I'll d/l and try when I get home. Golf night tonight.

New deb available in my repo, along with the image file (download with the installer). Hopefully the bugs are squashed.

You're alive! This is a Good Thing[TM].

Qole,

Installed the rootfs linked to above earlier in the week. Worked with the old Easy-Mer. Booted to it as well - wireless device not ready? no wifi available. I didn't play with it too much though. No other problems that I noticed.

Installed the new version of Easy-Mer - forgot to edit my .chroot file on first launch. Got that fixed and booted into it no problem. A suggestion, now that Tear is included in Mer, you shouldn't need a menu item for it (nevermind, your menu item uses the Maemo Tear, with bookmarks, etc ) Maybe get rid of the Quit command? Every now and then I hit that instead of Logout and have to reboot to get back to Maemo.

I still have an issue with using TearBookmarks on the Maemo sidebar. It works fine until I run Easy-Mer, then it will not lauch Tear from a bookmark. It will still open a new window and bookmark editor though. Rebooting cures this until I run Easy-Mer again.

I'll play more later. Thanks for this great program.

on my app.manager I still find verison 0.13.1 is it ok or will install an old version of mer?

pinguino89: the version is 0.15.1, update your application manager.

lemmyslender: thanks for the bugtesting. I don't use Tear bookmarks, I'll have to install it to find out what's breaking there. The wifi problem is also an unknown, maybe because I installed Mer to my N800 and you have an N810? The Quit removal suggestion is a good one.



I have very limited experience in this area, but I suspect it is better than being dead.

ok thanks, probably the program have ben updated less than a minute after i've updated the app manager

Qole -

I have an N800 as well. I just tried rebooting into the Easy-Mer partition. Network icon (2 computers) shows up. Clicking on it yields menu with no wireless networks listed, just grey text indicating device not ready.

I have quickly looked but don't see any Mer info on restarting the wireless connection. Also what is the root password for the image, or do I need to set one?
