I remember running Debian on my N810, and I remember having the same problem: the virtual keyboard would not work stabily for various programs. Luckily, for me, I had the built-in keyboard on the N810. I would recommend using another virtual keyboard package from Debian instead of the default one (unless you decide to buy a hardware one).

Thanks! I actually prefer the virtual keyboard. You wouldn't have a link you could share?

VicUser: Are you talking about the Maemo virtual keyboard, running Debian apps in Maemo, or are you talking about the xvkbd virtual keyboard inside LXDE?

I can't install it. I get an error. I am about to use XTerm to see the problem.

It appears that a file called 65_dmsetup.rules that already exists is causing the problem. Should I uninstall and delete it? Oh, whatever, I'll do it anyways.

Nwm, after using MC to delete the file it worked:

The one in LXDE. I click on the menu item for it either before or just after I load the Easy Debian desktop. As I say, using the hardware keys will cause it to appear, but clicking on the keys with the stylus doesnt do anything, even though the cursor is clearly blinking within a textbox.

Hi VicUser,

I understand your problem now. The keyboard you get when you click on a menu item in Maemo has no effect on applications inside LXDE. You have to use the keyboard on the LXDE menu instead.

Hi all.
First: my english is not the best: sorry!
I see that the users use this thread to speak about Easy Debian Diablo, so I use it.
Easy Debian work completely in my Nokia n800
but I not be able to install new software:
when I try
Code:
apt-get install ...
the output is
Code:
.../var/cache/debconf/config.dat-new ... /var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i ... No space left on device ... /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
The internal memory has 95 Mb free, the mmc1, where is put the debian image, has 2.2 Gb free.
Before I had problem with the cache: I resolved this with Dir::Cache string in apt.conf ... but now I don't know.
I read in the wiki of easy-debian that
More advanced users can put a minimal system into an empty image and build a custom set of apps using this post
: what post? Maybe is my case!?
Thank you

Try to clear more space than 95 MB. Try:
apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean

I think you need space to un-bzip the target tar file on the device. The temporary directory is probably needing more than 95 MB.

You could also un-bzip the file on another computer and:
tar -xvpf *.tar
the file to uncompress the filesystem right on the MMC card.
