How does this look to you??

/home/user # ls -la /home/user/.qtstalker
drwxr-xr-x 3 user users 4096 Aug 19 15:01 .
drwxr-x--- 22 user users 4096 Aug 19 16:23 ..
drwxr-xr-x 11 user users 4096 Aug 19 15:46 data0
/home/user #

It looks like it's not a permissions problem.
Unfortunately I know nothing about the program and so I can't really troubleshoot.. if it runs and you can configure it then I find it strange it won't open what you need..

run it as user from the terminal.. (using hilda or debbie).. and then try and open one of your files.. see if the terminal outputs any errors or failures..

Now to redo my custom menus.
Has anyone figured out where the ooo-gulls.png file resides?? I need it so that I can place the icons on Debian apps in my custom menu. They all have the same dumb icon as open office.
That was fun!! Thanks for all your help Fatalsaint, Qole and BrentDC.
And remember when you see a . after a / DOOONNNNN""""TTTTTT leave a space. I don't know why but if you do you will end up with a beautiful mouse pointer on all your hildon screens BBUUTTT and I mean BBBUUUTTTT you won't have a working home directory, dual boot, etc.. Hehehehehe. LOL, Dn

So I tried qtstalker, and when I try downloading quotes from Yahoo, I'm getting a whole bunch of "Bad Date" errors, with goofy years. There's something wacky going on there. This might be something to ask the qtstalker people about... I really don't know my way around qtstalker at all. But I don't get any of the errors you posted, so I think those were related to permissions.

I got those bad dates too. So I just deleted the the first numeber on the dates. It says it downloads the data alright. I'm wondering if we are missing a lib or another app that helps. It looks like a great app. Online they rave about how you can customise the searches for data in realtime. This is a dream come true for me if I could get realtime quotes with a set of data I setup on an N800 no less!! Trades spend tens of thousands of dollars for equipment and software to do what this amazing little app can do. This is what Trolltech is bring to the table. They also did the KDE stuff!! This why I want to learn Debian, QT and linux so I can fully use the great video/audio player but a full blown computer with aircrack capabilities, transmission, rss reader, gps, etc... and hopefully soon a 3g phone with hdmi port, projector, worm hole creator, laser munition, camera with thermal infared night vision and a microwave for cooking on my hikes, least I forget run by hydrogen/soler array nano batteries. hehehehe.

Screenshot of my QTStalker errors:



EDIT: I'm betting that there's a problem in the date format between the Yahoo service and the QTStalker Yahoo downloader. The frustrating thing is there seems to be no way to modify that.

EDIT2: Looks like we're not the only ones having this problem...

When you go into Yahoo menu just select quote that will give you correct dates. Then you will see it downloads the files correctly. Athough the left side of the screen the files look blank. This is a really powerful financial tool. Need to get it working. TIA

edit: I see.

I see. Well this guy just recomplied in June of this year. Can you look and see if it could be used in our Easy Debian repository??

I could prolly try a recompile for ARMEL when I get home.. go throw the link in my request for apps thread so it doesn't get lost.

Thanks Fatalsaint. I put on your recompile thread.
