Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 
Update:

Got everything installed and running. Logging out of Mer leaves a window with ae-menu.py as the title up. Clicking on the x doesn't close it. Also shifts status bar apps to the left 2 places, leaves a blank box.

Closed it by killing python-launcher daemon processes.

Other than that, works fine.

Thanks for the hard work.

lemmyslender: Interesting, I use "killall python" to get rid of the status bar icons. You are using python-launcher to run python apps, so they don't close properly. I'll fix that. Thanks for your help!

Hiya. I tried using the image installer after installing the deb, but it seems to only want to download the image to mmc1 or mmc2, neither of which have enough space. However, my rootfs has about 6GB of space. I suppose I could manually download the image, but how about supporting the rootfs as a destination in your tools?

cheers,
fnord

Well, not so much me using it as my tablet :) I just click the buttons and whatever happens, happens.

Quick question, it may have come up in the easy Debian threads: I imagine that if I take your disk image for the partition, unzip it to a partition, change my chroot to point to the partition, I can use it from within maemo (just like the image file) *and* boot to it, provided I have the right boot menu setup?

I already have installed mer on an sd card (external) and can boot to it. If I have that card in, can I "easy-mer" to it as well?

You should grab PenguinBait's GParted Hack and change the sizes of your SD card partitions. 6GB is far, far too big for your rootfs (this is Maemo, not Windows), especially if you are out of space on your FAT partition! :D

If you insist on downloading and extracting it to your rootfs, then you'll have to do it manually, sorry. :(

I can't promise anything. I confess that I have never installed bootable Mer, so I don't know. If your user name in Mer is "user" with the correct UID and GID (29999 or something -- it must be the same as Maemo), you should be able to use it as an Easy Mer partition in Maemo. But I can't promise anything.

I can say that it should be safe to try it, as long as you don't try to use "synchroot" because that might mess up things in Mer.

If you do try it, report your findings!

Fascist! ;-)

I guess I can see your point, though. Its just that I have no real use for FAT partitions and I can't see why I shouldn't keep an image in the rootfs. I've got 2 * 8GB cards in there.

On second thoughts, perhaps you're right. Hmm.

Re: Prerelease: Easy Mer
 
So far:

Changed chroot to point to partition on sd card. Didn't work (as expected), also probably because it was Mer 0.12. Blanked the partition and replaced with the latest rootfs from the first post.

Easy Mer works fine. I can boot to the partition as well. First boot asked for user/password as normal. However, wifi doesn't work? No status bar icon, won't find networks (using connection manager). Powerbutton doesn't work either, powerlaunch problem? Need to pull the battery. Reboot into Maemo, can't run Easy-Mer. It will work fine again if you fsck the partition first.

Started to install Mer 0.13 last night. I'll get that setup and give it a try and report back.

I can verify that this error is occuring.

So, I tried replacing the file mentioned in the error:

/usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/fps_gnome.uno.so

with the one from OpenOffice 3.0 in my Debian partition, which is found in:

/usr/lib/openoffice/program/fps_gnome.uno.so

...and the file chooser in Mer OOO opens just fine.

So the problem is in the current version of Ubuntu Jaunty armel OpenOffice.org. :(

How to use the attached file:

  1. Mount your Easy Mer rootfs on /debian, either by using "sudo debian" to start the chroot or qmount.
  2. As root, untar the file to the proper location:
Code:
cd /
tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/fps_gnome.uno.so.tar.gz
