I still haven't figured out how the environment of Debian chroot is set. As I wrote here, I couldn't modify that by changing /etc/bash.bashrc. Could you give me some hints how I could tweak that?
Rebhana or Qole:

for the keyboard it is possible that we need a different package?

for example something like keyboard-configuration?

I just checked on my N900, it is still available from downloads.maemo.nokia.com (Nokia System Software Updates). I wonder if this is caused by a translation or policy issue (not all of the packages in that repo are available in every language or region)?

Your best bet is to add the Extras-testing repository. Copy and paste (ctrl-c, ctrl-v) the info from the Extras repo into a new repo, and everywhere you see "extras" add "-testing" after it. That version should install fine.

OK just made a new repo using the maemo.org repo and added -testing on the url. After doing this it has now let me download and install easy-deb-chroot ill try installing the img now and see if its worked.

EDIT: Yep all working now!

I also checked that I'm able to download bzip2, but also in other threads I noticed that people failed to install bzip2 manually. Strange.

How do I close the &($#$*()% “Navigator” view?.

PD: feel free to move this post to wherever it belongs...
If you were running OpenOffice.org in standalone mode (from the Maemo desktop, outside LXDE), close it using Ctrl+q. Then open the X Terminal and enter the following command:

cd .openoffice.org

If the above command succeeded you should now be in the .openoffice.org directory. To verify this use the following command:

pwd

The result should be:

/home/user/.openoffice.org

If that is the case, and only if that is the case, enter the following command:

rm -r *

That will delete everything in that directory and its sub-directories. After that, when you launch OpenOffice.org it will recreate all the files in there, essentially starting from scratch.

If you want to use the Navigator, do so by launching OOo from within LXDE since you can close it very easily from there.

PS: Does any one know what config file to delete in order not to do a full delete of the OOo config area?

Well, at the end I've preferred to change jdownloader for tucan, in an attempt to gain some speed. And some speed I've gained, but, however, the window is huge and impossible to resize. I couldn't reach the end of the window, but finally I've been able to move the window from another place other than the topbar, by clicking the top-right icon of every window in easy debian (and lxde?).

Well, the result has been to lose the top bar of the window, with the unability to move again the window. I can't find any shortcut of the keyboard to emulate the right click, or to directly move the window.

Forums of lxde are not working, perhaps there there is the solution.

Well, I also think that everything can be done by keyboard ... so ... anyone knows how to do it with easy debian???

Are there any config files, or hidden files that need to be deleted before reinstalling easy debian (from extras-devel) for it to install and configure sound correctly?
I noticed that zynaddsubfx was in the menu of the v3b install, left over from the previous v2 install; Although not actually installed.
I was thinking that if the easy debian menu was left, maybe the audio config files were also?
The gnome alsa mixer is still loading with the error message.
Very sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

@qole: I think in the long run (i.e. with a new image - provided you are willing to update that too) it would be cleaner to leave the task of setting the environment to the image, and not to /sbin/debian (or to /sbin/qchroot for $PS1). [It took me a while to figure out where $PS1 was set actually, hence my questions above.]

Except for the ooffice app, I'm everywhere using now "su -". Also in debchroot.desktop, where I have replaced
Code:
Exec=osso-xterm "sudo debian"
by
Code:
Exec=osso-xterm "sudo debian su -"
In my German environment, this resolves the (minor) problem that Maemo's LANG variable does not fit to the one set in Debian by reconfiguring locales. Special characters then don't display properly for root.

So I would after all suggest to include "su -" in debbie and also debchroot.desktop, and to include appropriate environment variables in a m5v3c image, say. The latter could include $PS1 in /etc/profile of the form
Code:
PS1='deb:\w\$ '
or similar (and no PS1 set in /root/.bashrc). That's how I'm having it for myself now.

Just noticed that the current version of easy-deb-chroot cannot move into Extras because the lmza package, on which Easy Debian now depends, is still missing some votes. In this thread we certainly have a number of successful testers of that packages. Vote here: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...4.43-14maemo5/

I just checked. My package still has all the images commented out in the default .chroot file. But my package does not overwrite your existing .chroot file, so if your existing file points to an outdated package, you will have to modify it manually...

I wish Maemo had some kind of functionality that would ask if you want to overwrite or keep your config files, like in Debian.
Is this the reason that the new install v3b still shows programs from the previous v2 install such as the squeeze version of pulse audio. Could someone please point the way to repoint or rewrite the chroot file. Thank you thank you I want to see if I can get sunvox running in v3b
