hey Qole thanks for this great app. I have a few questions it says on the wiki that you can change the memory in the control panel / memory but I can't seem to find it. I can't find the set HW keys either on the n900. How do you minimize a program? I have searched but couldn't find anything. Thanks.
The keyboard works fine in the terminal. Has the sound been fixed? Does it work out of the box?
-To minimize a program just click on its icon on the taskbar.
-There is apparently a way to get sound working. See here:

Qole,
Bummer, I was getting ready to try OpenOffice Base when I realized it wasn't installed. I tried installing it with apt-get but that led to a series of upgrades that ended up leaving me with a broken OOo. I am now re-downloading the image. Could I make a request for OpenOffice Base for the next image. Please ... ; o))

rm42: OpenOffice base wasn't working, so I didn't include it. I wish they'd fix OpenOffice so that we could upgrade safely... 
MisterSorin: debian-m5-v2-rootfs.tgz is for installing into a dedicated partition. You want debian-m5-v2.img.ext2.bz2 instead. Sorry you're having such a rough time of it. Generally those times, for me, are also good learning experiences, though...
andyph666: The N900 doesn't have a concept of "minimizing" an application. You go to the dashboard (Ctrl-backspace if there's no other way) and select an app to show on the screen.

rm42: "they" in this case are the Debian openoffice.org maintainers.
Can someone file a good bug over at Debian about this? You can come back here and post a link to your bug if you need support from your fellow armel distro users!
EDIT: You would need to install and use the "reportbug" app.

About the problems in upgrading openoffice.org, I have found the following from the debian and the ubuntu bug trackers:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=562867
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...rg/+bug/417009
and also this comment:
http://old.nabble.com/OpenOffice-for...d26882770.html
Seems a nasty bug.
We better keep secured a tgz of our debian rootfs!

debernardis: Well done. It looks like we only had OpenOffice because they use a kludgy workaround, which no longer works.
The Ubuntu bug is wonderful! It gives us a workaround! All you need is to copy one file from a working openoffice.org install to the broken one, and everything works again!
The magic file is: /usr/lib/ure/lib/libgcc3_uno.so
I have tested and confirmed that this works. Also, it seems like the upgraded version starts a lot faster for me!
EDIT: I definitely see the speed increases you were talking about with the new version. One minute to a responsive OpenOffice writer document!

I have installed debian the second time and I still get the same error. It says:
Mount failure!
/home/user.MyDocs/debian-m5-v2.img.ext2 failed to mount on loop0
/proc/misc: No entry for the device-mapper found
is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?

Incompatible libdevmapper 1.02.20 (2007-06-15)(compat) and kernel driver
Command failed
mount: mounting /dev/dm-0 on/.debian failed. No such file or directory.
What can I do to resolve this error ?
