probabli I did something wrong. I've tried -f install but didn't help.

Hello

I tried to install easy debian to N900 from repositories. Device downloads the file succesfully but did not manage to decompress the package, used a lot more than 1 hour. I decompressed the file with Ubuntu and it is visible at x terminal but I can not figure out how install it. I tried with ./ but it gives a note that permission is denied. Command chmod 777 did not help neither. So how to make the installation to run?

Try
instead of just openoffice.org. That worked for me.

It should be sufficient to just install the decompressed image into /home/user/MyDocs and then run one of the Debian applications, or, in XTerminal, to enter "debbie".

Thanks for the tip, now it is working fine. This tip could be added to the installation instructions also if someone is having access to those.

Didn't help. The output was like this above.

I checked that my instructions still work on an older backup of my image. So I'd suggest going back to the original version of the image and start all over.

@qole: If you have time and resources for that, what about upgrading your present image file to OpenOffice 3.2.1 from squeeze and posting that as v3e or v4 on your server? On that occasion you could also fix /usr/bin/xephwm5 and do some security upgrades from security.debian.org for lenny packages. Fixing xephwm5 would be good for users who do not go beyond Extras, and I'm afraid it will take some time before the devel version of easy-deb-chroot will enter Extras, given the dependence on murrinanightorange.

I wanted to try out eric myself again, but in my new installation it now produces the following error:
qole, is there anything particular to take care of with libpulse0?

EDIT: figured out that libpulse0 just needed to be upgraded to the squeeze version. Eric4 works nicely with .kbdactive! However, sound is now broken in Easy Debian. Is there an easy way to fix that?

Does every debian program run on the n900? e.g. Hattrick Organizer http://www.hattrickorganizer.net/en/download/ (needs JRE) or stuff like Maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/download.html
Hope this is the right thread. Thank you

Maxima, xmaxima, and wxmaxima work. The last one works particularly nicely on the N900. If you search this thread, you'll find out more about that.
