Willowave: reboot your tablet (shut down and restart), open a terminal, and enter, "sudo debian" then cut and paste the text you get into a message here.

This is a brand new sd card its on now but I did an installation on a different card, did the same thing as described above.
Thanks qole : )

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Willowave: that's a really odd error. Your image file opens OK, but then you start getting "Permission denied" errors. My only guesses are that your SD card is read-only or that somehow you didn't get root access properly. This second one really should not happen.

Try this in the terminal:

If that gives an error, your SD card is read-only. Check the tab on the card. Also, corruption can do that.

If that command works fine, then...

Suggested Remedy:
1. Uninstall easy-deb-chroot using Application Manager
2. Reboot
3 . Install easy-deb-chroot using Application Manager
4. Reboot
5. Open a terminal and try 'sudo debian' again.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

It made the test.txt just fine, I was able to go and open it even from file manager. I will try to reinstall again. Can you give me the command to format the media card thru terminal? I think I will try that before I try to reinstall again. Thanks for your help. I'm just glad to know it wasn't something obvious or silly. It was kind of driving me nuts.
Thanks again!!

I've solved my screen size issue using tightvncserver and 770x770 res as Qole proposed in different topic.
About performance - I assume that standard debian armel compilation doesn't make use of FP unit and so on.
Maybe some special libc would help as on 686 - optimised for our hardware but who could make one?
Mencoder runs 4times slower comparing per MHz with PIII system with SIMD opts.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Hi qole.
I been trying to run jnlp on Easy Debian under browsers (both).
It open window, load applet, starting applet, BUT when i'm trying to login - applet tells "no connection to server".
Is strange, because applet been downloaded from the same server using https. Looks like something is blocking connection. If you are interested in this jnlp

Another question (in case we'll run it successfully)- is it easy for you to make Easy Debian to Easy Light Debian with only browser and full java support ()removing the rest of programs? Why i'm asking so? I am not close to programming, but can follow instructions.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

intery: are you using Java Web Start for this? You shouldn't even use a browser for jnlp apps.

EDIT: and believe me, this really is "Easy Debian Lite". A 1.1 GB Debian file system is tiny.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

qole:
Yes, thats right, but i did not find is Java Web Start configured for this as Java Web Start - i find that is Netx-5. Any way there is netx-5 implemented so it run applets, and after it run them (no matter from where : Java Web Start or browser - both start) applets connections are blocked to server. I been trying to get login from applets with versions Java 1.1 and 4 and 5 - same result. Just try to login... may this is my misconfiguring of browser or whatever. I would like to know is only my lack or system?

Yes it light, sure, sorry, but would i know how much take gimp, open office and rest apps i would be clearer in explication. No matter, more important is java, that's what i have to resolve.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

To get the command line Java commands pointing to the right place, this post by Picklesworth suggests running the following command from the Debian Chroot (root) command line:

After the configuration process, the Java Web Start command line should work properly...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Sorry, yes, the javaws command line uses Netx.

I know almost nothing about this stuff, I never use java, maybe someone else can help.

EDIT: I have been more successful running .jar files through 'java -jar applet.jar' than .jnlp files via 'javaws applet.jnlp' ...
