Picklesworth: Perhaps you need to set up avahi in Maemo. Look for "Bonjour Support" in your list of installable applications in your App Manager. If you run avahi-daemon over in Maemo, I suspect your Debian apps will be able to use it. If not, I'm sure we can figure out what config files you need to copy.

Well, the whole point of this project is to run the two environments together, all snuggled-up and cozy-like. I'm always interested in ways I can bring the two closer together; if you find config files, temp directories, etc, that the two environments should share, I'd love to hear about it. The more seamless the better...

How do I get my regular dialog boxes after I uninstall easy debian turbo edition? when I open my wifi connection from the statusbar, the dialog box pops up at the top left and I have to drag it to the middle.

Hey, sorry it didn't work out for you.

Did you reboot after uninstalling? That should fix it.

(Also, recent versions of the package don't have the weirdly positioned windows by default.)

Yeah I already uninstalled and did a 'cold' reboot. Do I have any othe option other that reflashing?

thanks

I'm not sure why the hack didn't automatically revert for you. If a reboot doesn't fix it, we'll do it the hard way:

You need to open a terminal, gain root and enter the following:

Code:

cp /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs.orig /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs

If there are no errors, a reboot should fix things.

I tried that on my vanilla Easy Debian package, and I got the following message:

Code:

There is only 1 program which provides java
(/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure.

I'm trying to figure out how to set the available memory for the Java web plugin. Seems you can increase the size to 17MB by increasing the size of the /tmp directory, but after 17MB, it doesn't matter how big you make the /tmp dir. So where's the setting?

Yes, I just noticed that after removing all my other Java packages, qole.
Run "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk"
That should jump into a longish configuration process that gets it all going.

As for openjdk, it's been working pretty nicely for me. As I mentioned, this is the first time it's been really usable. For example, other jres seem to run quite slowly and hang for ages with the file Open dialog. This one is snappy and seems to display a file open dialog I can use happily

Yes, that worked. Still trying to figure out how to boost the max memory... (see this post)

EDIT: BTW, you can run the Debian Chroot menu item and it will give you a root prompt. If you want to run stuff as user, you just have to add "hilda" before the command. ("hilda" is just an alias for "su user -c")
