I can fix that.

Coming back to an issue I raised before: I now realized that the different behavior of debbie versus sudo debian su - user comes from the fact that in /usr/bin/debbie you have su without "-"
Code:
if [ $# = 0 ] ; then
  echo Starting Debian shell... >/dev/stderr
  sudo /sbin/debian su $DEBUSER
else
  # Workaround to allow "debbie" to be used as login shell
  if [ "$1" == "-c" ]; then
    shift
  fi
  echo Starting Debian $* >/dev/stderr
  sudo /sbin/debian su $DEBUSER -c "$*"
fi
Is that on purpose, i.e. did you find it safer not to have a login shell behavior by default?
I tried adding the "-" to the chroot command, but that breaks other things. For instance, OpenOffice gives an error, "Failed to open display". Any ideas how to get this working for everyone?

EDIT: I see it's too late for Testing now, so that's for the next round. Congrats btw for being constantly on Downloads/Popular!
Wow, I didn't notice that. I did notice the 2100GB of downloads from my website last month.

I tried to set the su -
The problem is that the DISPLAY variable will not be set.

Strange! I have no such problem with openoffice!

My /usr/bin/debbie script now has
Code:
if [ $# = 0 ] ; then
  echo Starting Debian shell... >/dev/stderr
  sudo /sbin/debian su - $DEBUSER
else
  # Workaround to allow "debbie" to be used as login shell
  if [ "$1" == "-c" ]; then
    shift
  fi
  echo Starting Debian $* >/dev/stderr
  sudo /sbin/debian su - $DEBUSER -c "$*"
fi
and I can open openoffice both within LXDE and through debbie.

OK, I've pushed Easy Debian 0.9.46 and Easy Chroot 0.3.0 to Testing. These packages incorporate all the stuff we've been hacking out together, including the fix to make LXDE theme editing a possibility.

Sorry, rebhana, we'll have to work on the whole su problem in Extras-devel until I get this version into Extras.

qole, i just wanted to thank you immensely and offer you my first born child. easy debian on the n900 is just amazing. it works. its magical. yes, Mr.Jobs. this IS magical.

just got a quick question though guys. sorry if its a n00b query but is there any way that i can enable portrait mode in debian LXDE? its just that some of the menus in GIMP (ie preference) has options such as the "ok" button etc that cant be selected due to space restriction.

any ideas?

thanks once again qole. you're a legend!

As usual, I would like to point you to qole.org, where I have a paypal donation button. But past experience has taught me not to believe a word of it.

Use the Ctrl-period key combo to get the Move Window cursor, and then drag the window up with your stylus.

Sure! I'll investigate further whether anything breaks with "su -". As I said, so far I everything works for me.

EDIT: I'm still using easy-chroot 0.2.8-2fremantle1. @qole, could that possibly make a difference?

Are you able to run any of the v2.7.x betas of Gimp on this -- how does the new Single-Window mode of Gimp work out?
