mandrake64: Maybe post a link to a specific game (hopefully not behind a username/password wall) so I can try it out in my spare moments, and maybe see what the problem is?

qole,
I don't know any specific java applet game link unfortunately. But, simply you can try yahoo.com and click games and any game(offcourse you need yahoo id) and you can see warning message about java.

mandrake64: I think you might need to give me an example game. I tried running some of these games from my desktop, running Debian and Firefox, with Flash 9 and a recent version of Java... This is a sample of what I got:

Bejeweled2: "Note: Bejeweled 2 requires Internet Explorer and Windows."
Chess: "Yahoo! Chess requires Flash Player 7 or later and JavaScript enabled in your browser."

Aha! "Alchemy" and "Crossword" work on my desktop (but "Aloha Solitare" does not, I only get a black window). I'll try them on my tablet when I get a chance.

qole,
Thanks for your special effort about java games and applets. I am waiting for your good news.

qole,
It is this warning(for backgammon game):

This game cannot be played using your current settings. Please, try the following:

* Check to make sure that java is enabled in your browser. (learn more)
* If you do not have java installed you may download it here.
* To learn more about java support for browsers, visit our help pages.

hmm, the http request seems to take forever to be responded to...

mandrake64: I can play the crossword, but the backgammon game gives the same error to me as it does to you.



I'm thinking of moving the Easy Debian project over to Ubuntu ("Easy Ubuntu?"), since the official Ubuntu Jaunty for our tablets is now available and it has the latest Java (version 6b14~pre1 as opposed to Debian's 6b11-9).

This new version of Java seems to be the fix for Yahoo Backgammon. However, it is incredibly slow; the whole tablet slows to a crawl while running the applet.

hi qole,
I think easy ubuntu is the true solution for java applet. Did you try overclocking? Thanks for your efforts.

Hi,

I have been trying to download debian-chroot-img-final.tar.bz2 for the last 36 hours from http://qole.maemobox.org/, and I'm becoming a little desperate. It's horribly slow, and when the image is finally downloaded, it appears to be corrupt.
Is there a mirror where the file can downloaded from ?

Cheers.

There was an extended outage at my free hosting service, maemobox.org, over the weekend, but the server seems back to full speed again. Keep trying! Maybe try downloading from another computer, and then copying the file onto your SD card. The installer will find the file and check it, and if it isn't corrupt, it will unzip it.
