Yeah, sorry, as we discovered earlier in this thread, the 2GB N900 images (with m5 in the name) are too big for the N810 for some reason. Either use an older, smaller Ubuntu image or use the special N8x0 Debian image I made a little while ago.

Would anyone happen to know how to add fonts?

Using OOo Writer on the road has been fantastic, but I would like to use the Arial font which is not currently available. Thanks!

hordeman: make a directory called .fonts in your home directory and put all your custom fonts in there. They'll be available to Easy Debian apps and (some) Maemo apps too.

Since the newest (previous two, even) updates I can not get right click (touch and hold) on the menu's to bring up the context menu so I can edit the appearance of the menus.

Has this been removed or just tweaked?

I did neither use an img file nor a partition, but simply a directory on a big partition on my N810. This is how I did:

Mount the image on a linux desktop,

Share the dir by NFS, and copy the content of the mounted image to /debian on the tablet.

In .chroot, put whatever name in IMGFILE, uncomment CHROOT

As root edit /sbin/debian and comment the part that tries to mount the image.

Et voilą. A part from the fn key that does not work, everything is fine. I might have to modify /sbin/debbie as well, though.

My apologies if this problem has been addressed before, but I conducted a search on this thread, and I read the wiki, and didnt see it.

I have the virtual keyboard running on my n800/Diablo. The keyboard is there, covering the bottom third of my screen. However, in Iceweasal, Epiphiny, or Open Office Writer, when I use the stylus to click on a letter, nothing happens. The cursor is blinking, the stylus is able to function as a mouse and even click on links within the browsers, but the keyboard isn't working.

Ideas?
