Can't wait to give it a spin. Being able to use the same partition to boot from and chroot into would be great (with the easy setup of course).

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

Here's the rootfs for the partition. Just plain Mer 0.15 with tweaks to work in a chroot.

You need to change, in Maemo, /usr/bin/mer-switch to run start-hildon-easymer instead of start-hildon... (no longer necessary when using easy mer 0.15 deb)

I am camping for a couple of days, but I'll try to get my updated .deb out the door asap...

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

Thanks, I'll d/l and try when I get home. Golf night tonight.

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

New deb available in my repo, along with the image file (download with the installer). Hopefully the bugs are squashed.

You're alive! This is a Good Thing[TM].

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

Qole,

Installed the rootfs linked to above earlier in the week. Worked with the old Easy-Mer. Booted to it as well - wireless device not ready? no wifi available. I didn't play with it too much though. No other problems that I noticed.

Installed the new version of Easy-Mer - forgot to edit my .chroot file on first launch. Got that fixed and booted into it no problem. A suggestion, now that Tear is included in Mer, you shouldn't need a menu item for it (nevermind, your menu item uses the Maemo Tear, with bookmarks, etc :) ) Maybe get rid of the Quit command? Every now and then I hit that instead of Logout and have to reboot to get back to Maemo.

I still have an issue with using TearBookmarks on the Maemo sidebar. It works fine until I run Easy-Mer, then it will not lauch Tear from a bookmark. It will still open a new window and bookmark editor though. Rebooting cures this until I run Easy-Mer again.

I'll play more later. Thanks for this great program.

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

on my app.manager I still find verison 0.13.1 is it ok or will install an old version of mer?

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

pinguino89: the version is 0.15.1, update your application manager.

lemmyslender: thanks for the bugtesting. I don't use Tear bookmarks, I'll have to install it to find out what's breaking there. The wifi problem is also an unknown, maybe because I installed Mer to my N800 and you have an N810? The Quit removal suggestion is a good one.



I have very limited experience in this area, but I suspect it is better than being dead.

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

ok thanks, probably the program have ben updated less than a minute after i've updated the app manager :):)

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 

Qole -

I have an N800 as well. I just tried rebooting into the Easy-Mer partition. Network icon (2 computers) shows up. Clicking on it yields menu with no wireless networks listed, just grey text indicating device not ready.

I have quickly looked but don't see any Mer info on restarting the wireless connection. Also what is the root password for the image, or do I need to set one?
