Actually, the mplayer binary for maemo works from within debian environment (after apt-get installing the necessary libraries).

-vo omapfb appears not to work, so you need to use -vo xv, which might be a bit less optimized. Also, under maemo it seems to default to -ao sdl, while under debian it defaults to -ao alsa which does not work, so you need to specify -ao sdl.

Thank-you both. Matan, you are correct on the error verbiage and I appreciate the info. I'll try keeping things separate first, but I wasn't aware of the package you mentioned qole so I am intrigued by that option as well - Thanks again!

Went with the "Replacement Desktop" option - Me Likey! I'm looking forward to editing the file menu down, as after I ponder a bit I really only use 3 or 4 Maemo apps frequently (and the MPlayer does indeed work fine). I've gotten so excited I'm reconfiguring my Redmond-based laptop to Kubuntu

I've a new user of a N810 tablet after a long experience using a Zaurus PDA. I've tried to install easy-deb-chroot, but I've an error message that the library libssl0.9.8(>=0.9.8.e-1) is missing and it is impossible to install the package. I've tried to include all the pkg sources I've found in internet (e.g http://gronmayer.com/it/) but I can't find the package...
I miss something?!?!?!
I have a N810 OS2008 (version 2.2007.51-3)
Thank you in advance for your help.
Marco

Have you got Canola package? Im sure that is one of the dependancies.If not try installing that see if it picks it up. Also make sure you have Maemo Extras enabled in the Repositories as sometimes it is disabled by default.

5.2008.43-7 is current. You might try backing up and upgrading.

Just an update for those who are interested. I am breaking apart the easy-deb-chroot package into two packages: first, a package I'm tentatively calling "Easy Chroot," that will contain the turbo loop stuff and a generic chroot script that will mount an image file or partition, mount all the directories needed to make everything work, and then chroot into it. This package will also contain the closechroot script.

The easy-deb-chroot package will consist of the Debian installer and all of the Debian-specific stuff, like the LXDE stuff, program icons, etc.

I'm doing this because I want to be able to release a new package, "Easy Ubuntu," and I don't want to release a duplicate package. This way, both Easy Debian and Easy Ubuntu will depend on the "Easy Chroot" package. This means that packages like pipeline's isomount and maybe even projects like Mer can use the Easy Chroot package because it will be so generic.

Can someone tell me what the name of the Java runtime executable command is, and where it is located? If I want to run XXX.jar I can doubleclick on it in the file manager and it runs fine, but if I type "java XXX.jar" or "jre XXX.jar" at the command line it throws up an error. I went to the web pages for openjdk but couldn't find the answer.

Also, is there any hope of a java package that runs faster? The java software I want to run is Calgoo Calendar, which is a dog but is the only Linux calendar I know of that you can use offline and does 2-way synchronization with both Google Calendar and 30Boxes. It crashes under Jalimo, and while it loads under Debian it takes around 10 minutes to start up, sometimes doesn't start at all, and is slow as molasses.

Thanks, David
