You were told right. My timings for abiword starting, with either governor, are the same. Better so

I have been using Easy Debian for a couple weeks now, but just yesterday I tried LXDE. It looks really interesting, but I can't use the keyboard ANYWHERE in ANY app inside of LXDE. Is this a known issue? How would I address this?

(I know there was talk of setting window focus, but I thought that was just for emacs or something. Was that only relating to LXDE?)

Thanks!

I suggest switching to gzip, lower compression or decompressing with -s.

OptX, Pioso: "Operation temporarily disabled due to low memory..."?? I will try to find out what is causing that... Anyone else know?

hstende: Your keyboard mapping should be copied over from Maemo if you do the following:

Code:
sudo closechroot
touch ~/.synchroot
debbie test
You might also have to set your locale using dpkg-reconfigure locales.

twoboxen: The new version of the package (0.34), using the new image (debian-m5-v2), or your old image with my chroot-changes.tgz package, should get your keyboard working. And if you lose the keyboard (this happens to me if I switch away for a while), there should be a new icon with a keyboard, screwdriver, and wrench in front of the red diamond with the "d". Click on that and it will get keyboard focus back again.

arkanoid: is the fact I'm using high bzip2 compression causing the low memory problems on peoples' N900s? I'm trying to get the files as small as possible for downloading, but if it is causing problems when decompressing, then that defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Trying the decompression on my N900... That's totally ridiculous! The N900 locks up for an immensely long time...

I guess I'll accept a 50MB larger file if it doesn't trash the N900.

Ahh! Bug in the installer! It doesn't extract the file properly!

Unzip manually, or wait until I get the next version uploaded (later today). So sorry.

Bah! The N900's bzip2 doesn't work with a file of this size! It fails with "File too big"!

We will have to use the kludgy command:
Code:
cat debian-m5-v2.img.ext2.bz2 | bunzip > debian-m5-v2.img.ext2

Just wanted to note that I had some success getting sound working in the chroot through alsa by using the instructions posted here for temporarily disabling pulseaudio: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37708



With this I've managed to record/playback audio in audacity from a chroot.

WARNING: Be very careful about speaker use when suspending pulseaudio, as the n900 uses a software equalizer in PA to prevent speaker damage. When running straight through ALSA (i.e. using pasuspender) this daemon WILL NOT PROTECT YOUR SPEAKERS FROM DAMAGE. Don't blame me if you blow a speaker, try at your own risk, etc....


I recommend low volumes and/or headphones when playing at this for now.
Also, keyboard in LXDE is still not working for me even after copying the chroot changes and installing qole's listed packages.
