ok that problem with the keyboard was fixed by

Code:
apt-get install dpkg -reinstall
because the install was interrupted the hal and dbus weren't working right.. now for my wireless.. i've found if i enable ssid broadcasting i can get a good connection for about 10 minites.. it doesn't like hidden ssid's for some reason.

Anyway.. after the 10 minutes it kicks me off and won't reconnect... and wpa_cli shows it trying to connect to my ap mac but says

Code:
association request to driver failed
Over and over. This wireless is kicking my *** and the only thing keeping me from staying in debian.

Do you use nm-applet or networkmanager or raw wpasupplicant?

Regarding the n810-slideout-kbd-xmodmap i forgot to include it in installer config.py, but it should be in SVN right now. Still a alpha release

(I am off to the mountains of poland with my tablet the next days, so wont be on.)

Please report any issues with the system to http://trac.tspre.org/projects/nit-debian

Try see if it has something to do with Wifi powersaving? Look into the wifi_powersave.py script and disable this init.d script and see if it helps? /etc/init.d/dsmetools

I use nm-applet but i watch the process manually in the shell with wpa_cli.. its still an old habbit of mine from manually configuring wpa with linux before the GUI days

No problem-- the structure was there.. was all i needed.. and i know its alpha..please dont take any problems i put in here as a negative to all of your hard work. I have the upmost respect and admiration for all of you guys that have put all this together.

Have you also tryed wifi-radar? It uses it's own demon at startup so it runs fairly independent of the network-manager witch could also help for some things. It's also so far ben the most relyable and easy to use wierless manager that i've ben using. The only problem i have had with it is that if their is a ton of wierless connections around it becomes a little laggy.

I'll take a look at that as well.. Since I turned SSID broadcasting on my router back on I am able to get connected and stay connected for a seeming random period of time before getting cut off.. but I am always able to get back on now.. don't have the problem with the association anymore.. not sure what changed.. I did reload beta4 though.

I will load wifi-radar and see if it stays connected overnight.. and if it does I'll try masking the SSID again and see if it can handle that as well.

Ok you Nit-Debian people... can you guys tell me whats outputted with these two commands.

find /dev -group audio
lsmod

for some reason getting sound is kicking my butt. I dont have /dev/dsp or /dev/dsptask/pcm3 or anything of the sort... im wondering if i am supposed to and how to get them if so. I have all the alsa stuff loaded and am tinkering with /etc/asound.conf but I'm just not getting it. (remember my nit-debian installer crashed).

Regarding sound, I think johnx is working on it. It is also on bug tracker as not working right now

Fair enough.. I'll keep tinkering with it and if I find anything will let you know.

Well nit-debian is made "from scratch", as in its Debian for tablets "done right", with structured hacks to get things working on tablets, whereas beta3 was a evolved debian image, so beyond some borrowed hacks it shares no common code , but i guess people calling it beta4 may contribute to that confusion.

It's better to see nit-debian as a new way to run Debian on the tablets, a sortof cleanup effort/future proof solution from previous ways.
