Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

Thanks again qole for this wonderful work. Couple questions though:
1. Is the key, systems and touchscreen sound missing as a result of stopping services? cos without them sometimes its hard to tell whether you actually clicked or not.
2. How do I include osso email in the menu coz the 'modest' cmd doesn't seem to work at all. 'modest' is the cmd, isn't it?
3. MicroB browser doesn't have adddress bar at all.
4. Why is iconified 'SystemUI root window' keeps appearing in the panel. It can't be maximised at all either.

Thank you.

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

jaeezzy: good questions!

1. I didn't notice this before, but you're probably right. Feel free to experiment with the /usr/bin/lxde-switch script. Comment out the /etc/init.d/whatever stop lines and the associated start lines, and then see if that changes things. Report back here with your findings!

2. EDIT: sjgadsby has the answer below: /usr/bin/modest showui

3. Yes. That's a problem. It makes the MicroB browser quite a bit less useful in non-Maemo environments.

4. Don't know. That puzzles me too.

Try:

Code:

/usr/bin/modest showui

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

Now the touchscreen sound is back, iconified 'SystemUI root window' is gone but with it the info dialog while locking/unlocking touchscreen is also gone(I think its better than having these iconified things appearing all over the panel).
*not stopping the multimediad preserves touch sounds.
*stopping osso-systemui and osso-systemui-early avoids multiple and automatic appearance of iconified 'SystemUI root window'.
*More stoppable services:
- osso-applet-display
- osso-systemui
- osso-systemui-early
Also as I don't thing I'll be using bluetooth and maemo-map:
- bluez-utils
- btcond
- gpsdriver
- libgpsbt

Btw, thanks sjgadsby! it did the job.. now I can access email esp. to check my gmail, its easier this way.

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

Hi Qole !

I installed http://qole.maemobox.org/files/ubunt...img-v2.tar.bz2 from your repo and using with chroot.

Works well..thanks. could you please tell how to install LXDE in this ?

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

I would guess, not having tried it myself, that it would require the following as root in the chroot:

Code:

apt-get --no-install-recommends install lxde

Do you have any Idea how to fix this?

It's a big problem for me because I'm not able to instal whatever on the tablet at the moment.

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

Your error is not in my package, nor in its dependencies. I have no idea what "python2.5-terra" is:

Code:

unable to open files list file for package `python2.5-terra': Input/output error

This sounds like your partition has corrupted. If you do an fsck.ext2 on your partition, I bet it has a lot of errors.

Re: [Debian] Easy Debian LXDE As Replacement Desktop

jaeezzy was wondering about a battery indicator for this project (LXDE as replacement desktop). I managed to get something working using battery-status (deb) and gxmessage (included in Easy Debian).

I made a little script that displays the battery percentage as a dialogue box; I'll try to package it up as a deb this weekend.

basically, you put the battery script on the little maemo menu and you click the battery button when you want to know the status of the battery.

BTW, I made some changes to .Xmodmap-keymap-n810 to be able to type characters like "[]{}`" and for the 'F11' key for switching back and forth to normal and full screen but the thing is I've to xmodmap everytime I reboot and sometimes though I'ven't logged out or rebooted, the key mapping just gets ineffective and I've to re xmodmap it. So, is there anyway I can make it default. Thanks.
