Thanks Qole !
For the clarification !
--thought so, but got confused on the way, partly by a post (below) where you mention changing mer-switch.
( Me beginner, no can speak Linux.)

You need to change, in Maemo, /usr/bin/mer-switch to run start-hildon-easymer instead of start-hildon...

As to the charger's influence ,
just a speculation :
Can it be that the circuitry managing the charging is not decoupled enough?
Can processor shut-down and reboot be electrically disturbed by such?
Boot-menu has an entry "poweroff when not on charger".
Could it be that this process and reboot code have some module in common?
A bug in such a module might convey influence from charging?

Has anyone been able to organize/organise the applications in the settings yet? I can launch it and see the list (My selection, Internet...Extras, etc...), but the menu is unresponsive from there. I also must force quit to exit.

mfortner: I think that's currently a bug in Mer.

I just tried youtube in Easy Mer Tear. Very strange; the player displays, the timer starts counting, the red bar starts moving across to show that the video is loading... but the video area remains black.

If you want to get Easy Debian working again, either edit your /home/user/.chroot file and point it to your Easy Debian partition / image file, or just uninstall Easy Mer and things will return to the way they were before.

I think I'll release another Easy Mer image this week, this time with the slow-loading OpenOffice 3.0 installed for you (with the file open bug fix installed too). The benefit of this version of OpenOffice is that it works fine with the virtual keyboard so N800 users can use it easily.

Just a note about editing your .chroot file. The current version of Easy Mer doesn't set the permissions of the file correctly, so you need to do this first:

Code:
sudo chown user:users /home/user/.chroot

I also didn't know installing the Mer 2.0 would delete everything on External MMC. This really upsets me I had reformat this over and over I'm having so much trouble with Mer 2.0!

I have no idea what you have done, but this thread is about using Mer in a chroot, without booting in it. If you are uding easyMer, it really shouldn't touch you memorycards. If you are using the real Mer, which you will boot into, Merinstaller should have noted you about fromatting cards.
