I did the above, and error message:

I am at root,

/ # /usr/bin/tar KDE358v2.tar.bz2

/bin/sh: /usr/bin/tar: Permission denied

a bad downloaded file, again?



upon ls /, there is a /tar from BusyBox, do I have to get rid of that one first?

Edit: I meant,
/ # /usr/bin/tar jxvf KDE358v2.tar.bz2

Thanks PCQ.

where's your jxvf? Re-read Penquinbait's post.

jxvf is a parameters, it does not reside anywhere, perhaps? I only type the /usr/bin/tar, it already gave me Permission denied. Maybe the tar I made is not good?

Thanks PCQ.


Edit: I see. I typed in the right stuff, but translated to my thread wrong. Me bad.

I typed,

/usr/bin/tar jxvf KDE358v2.tar.bz2 and it gave

/usr/bin/tar : Permission denied.

Try

chmod +x /usr/bin/tar

chmod +x /usr/bin/bzip2

re-run command (sorry)

I thought about that last night. However, i thought +x is only need for .sh script. I will give it a shot when I am home. Thanks again for the great apps, I cant wait to try this on N810 with a keyboard.




Edit: It seemed working, still cooking.......its been quite awhile 30min?

Edit: Got it. Up and running on N800. I took the microSD out and snapped on an N810, OMG, it is faster and prettier (I know it is the same OS). Thanks, PGB.

As usual, I made a step by step instructions, mainly for myself in case I have to do it again some time in the future. This v2 in fact is easier to install compared to the previous one.

Step by step KDE3.5.8 v2 Beta Testers (SD Boot)
______________________________________
I am using a 4G SD card, internal (open battery cover for access, mmc2 for N800, or external mmc1 for N810 behind kick stand). First make a SD Boot card, AKA MMC boot, or clone the OS. A step by step guide, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...+clone&page=30, thread #292. One can copy everything on that thread except partition size. KDE installation requires more than 2G OS space (I know PGB instruction said 1.5G, maybe for fresh OS. My 1st trial of 1.8G OS ran out of space!), KDE itself may use 1.5G, but the installation seems to use more.

For a 4G SD card, the following partition should be fine:

sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 -uM
0,1500,0C
,,,
(return)
(return)

This partition 1.5G fat32 storage (mmcblk0p1) and 2.3G OS (mmcblk0p2) for KDE installation, YMMV. If your system is relatively fresh, dont have a lot of apps installed, you may increase on your fat32 storage p1 and decrease on your p2. But again, if you cut p2 too much, KDE installation runs out of space, you will have to repeat all over again.



Assume all is well, you are now booting from your 4G SD card internal on a N800 running 2008Os (2007.50-2) and you checked there is ~2 G OS on /rootfs:
DiskUsage, Ctrl Panel>Memory>Device mem avail, whatever you can use to check.

1) http://www.tablethacker.com/kde.html,
dl KDE358v2.tar.bz2, SUPv2.tgz, tar.gz, bzip2.gz, ALL 4 files dl to default folder, the document folder (~/MyDocs/.documents/)

Must check file size before proceed further;
xterm
ls -l (letter L, not numeral 1)
KDE358v2.tar.bz2 --- 323708010
SUPv2.tgz --- 24451563
tar.gz --- 229859
bzip2.gz --- 70348

2) xterm/sudo gainroot (I think you can put 2 files in one command. I think. That would save you 50% of typing ).
cd ~/MyDocs/.documents/
gunzip tar.gz
gunzip bzip2.gz
mv tar /usr/bin
mv bzip2 /usr/bin
chmod +x /usr/bin/tar
chmod +x /usr/bin/bzip2

3) cd /
/usr/bin/tar jxvf KDE358v2.tar.bz2 (25 min or more)
/usr/bin/tar zxvf SUPv2.tgz (5 min or more)

4) enjoy.

Sorry, I have been real busy guys, most of my spare time renting and looking at vehicles. I have made my decision now, and should have my new vehicle tomorrow. Hopefully I will have some time to spend on KDEv2 debs very soon..

Using this post as a reference (and the ones following it) I tried removing the entry for event code 36 (I think it was 36) but that doesn't solve this problem. Though if I remove the ~/.xmap file, wouldn't that destroy the keybinding I have for moving windows (the vol down buttons on the n800) so I can move windows around to access the rest of most dialogs?

I have been wondering what ever happened to the debs, I had removed version 1 because it changed the fonts on the default browser and made some websites like Yahoo mail hard to login in/off of

I think it all depends on how you assigned your keybindings. If you used Xmodmap to assign the bindings then I believe that deleting the .xmap will get rid of all key changes. If however, you assigned the key bindings using KDE's Control Center (either Input Actions or Keyboard Shortcuts) then you should be ok.

FWIW, I haven't had problems with Xmodmap (or the .xmap file) on my N810.
