Looks like I'm not going to get the new Deb done before I get on a plane for Berlin. The good news is that I'll probably have it ready by the time I step off the plane.

I haven't messed around with the chroot scripts yet, but I'm thinking I may lean that way in the near future.
Have fun over there-Berlin's a wonderful city. I highly recommend that you check out http://www.berlinerunterwelten.de/ if you have any free time- lots of neat history, and the tours (some of which are available in english) are only a few euro. Also be sure to eat your fill of schnitzel & wursts, and if you get tired of indigenous cuisine you should try a Döner kebab (like a gyro, but...better).
BTW, anyone know if they are planning to stream any of the presentations at Maemo Summit 2008? The wiki page seems mostly focused on people who are actually attending; I'd love to follow from home if they made anything available.
Edit: I did see some references to making audio and some video available after the fact, which I suppose is almost as good. Looks like they nixed any streaming media :/

I am using debian chroot from ext3 partition, and i downloaded the "basic-debian-chroot-fs.tar.bz2". i want to try jxde, but i got no results with "apt-cache search jxde". How to install jxde?

re:If it doesn't work: You need Python and PyGTK to open the window in OS2008.

What did you mean ? JXDE? Never heard...

http://lxde.org/screenshots.html

He meant LXDE ( I believe )

okay. thank you!

Just installed and it looks nice, lightweight.

One problem, LXDE does not save any changes in the UI, like wallpaper, panel, etc... ?

I would think this is a permissions problem?? Seemed to save for me IIRC... what is the output of:

ls -la /home/user/.*

Right now i am reinstalling my whole debian (again) because when i was installing audacity tablet done something stupid and i had I/O errors.

I think that the problem with lxde was this:

I installed hildon desktop to my debian (just trying) and of course it used my maemo settings and because of that it did not work, even if i created a new user to run it (and i set it to my default chroot user) then i installed lxde, and started it with still using the same user i created for hildon. aferwards i deleted that user and set user "user" to default chroot user. I think lxde did not save settings because of that huge mess i made just for trying hildon. moblin environment would be cool, but hildon tries to use same settings that maemo uses, and i guess that moblin is not yet ported to armel.
