Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Anybody got scim fully working in Debian?

I got it working for gtk2 apps like leafpad, gedit where I can hold stylus for right click menu and select the input method to be scim. But for apps like iceweasel, openoffice etc, I can't change the input method. I would like to input Chinese in debian.

Thank you!

Hi,
Newbie question so apologies in advance. I unistalled the application but I have still have a strange problem with message boxes which appear outside the screen and not centered. Do you know the root cause?
Also, Quiver is not working anymore since I have installed the package.. any idea if it is some dependency i downloaded with the easy debian package or anyway do you know what might be the root cause?

Thanks in advance.

all,

I have two questions:
1) Is there a link to the image directly? I would like to download the image from my regular wired connection instead of slow wireless from the tablet.
2) If I got #1 , then would someone one give me a link for install instruction without using the "one-click install" method.

Thanks in advanced.
Cheers

Bundyo - Very Cool!! I'll replace mine with this ASAP and see how it works.

Thanks!

I copied the tar file to my desktop machine, and unpacked the ext file with winrar. Then I copied the ext file back to the sd card.

I think I've borked maemo bzip, or whatever it's called. Xarchiver isn't working on my N800, either. I haven't had a chance to dig into it. Probably just a matter of reinstalling the packages.

Thanks LordFu, I will give it a go.

Well, now I'm going to have to release a new package, with Bundyo's new window opener (to eliminate the LXDE error), Matan's new matchbox window manager (to get rid of the goofy dialogs), and a method for unzipping the package that Matan suggested that will get rid of my need for gnutar as a dependency.

LordFu and darrennewman: Please try this:

Please report to me anything that looks like an error.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 

Probably because you didn't restart matchbox. The easy way is to reboot.

BTW, that's not a "strange problem" -- it's a known issue, described in the documentation. The options for matchbox window management include a fully-controlled setting, where dialogs are fixed at the center and cannot be moved, and a free-floating setting where they may be dragged around the screen. Unfortunately, the free setting causes them to be initially placed at 0,0. (There's also a version of the matchbox binary with enhanced behavior...)

In the latest version of easy-deb-chroot, this setting may be toggled (and matchbox restarted, to activate the change) from a couple of menu entries. In older versions, it's been always on, but gets reverted when uninstalling. However, manually restarting matchbox is still necessary.

My second parameter used to be: 'sudo debian hilda xephwm LXDE startlxde1'

For this version of the app, I had to create a script (/usr/bin/debwm) with this one line in it.

Other than that, we seem to have a winner! No more annoying error messages! (also, the window isn't blank white anymore; I like that)
