http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=459
keep getting a dpkg error 1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

i've uninstalled FAM using HAM and re-installed FAM and it seems ok managed to install a program.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

Hi Guys, It's been a long time that I'm using this Hildon Desktop and I'm very satisfied of the result. The only thing I wanted to ask is HOW TO LOCK THE DESKTOP TO PORTRAIT MODE?? When I'm in portrait mode and I want to lock to Portrait mode, it goes automatically to landscape. Thanks in advance!!!

it is really unhealthy way
so i made a patched .deb for hildon-desktop

NOTE : ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T USE CSSU

installation instructions :

1-) Download the original hildon-desktop portrait from 1st post or from HERE
to MyDocs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-) install it by

Code:

sudo gainroot

dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/hd_18_07_2011.deb

ignore if any problems occur saying that you have unmet dependencies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3-) Download the patched verstion of hildon-desktop from attachments or from HERE
to MyDocs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4-) install it by

Code:

sudo gainroot

dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/hd_18_07_2011_patched.deb

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS : DON'T FORGET TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL HILDON-DESKTOP FIRST I MEAN DON'T IGNORE STEP 2

i hope i helped cheers :)

PS : MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A PREPARED BACKUP UNTIL SOMEONE CONFIRM IT'S WORKING WITHOUT TROUBLES

it worked awesome with me
PS: i don't use CSSU

and i guess karam said that using sakya's way is unhealthy

This method worked, but I can't seem to open the desktop customization menu. What should I do?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode

cheers Mohammad but i'm using ccsu and karam says it's for people who don't use cssu.
i think the way i did it messed up my device i still don't know fully if i've sorted it.
i've installed 100 boxes and that worked ok so i'm guessing so.

just installed tweego and it's not returning that error :)

i guess you can fix it by doing this :

Code:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/menu_edit_disabled -t bool false

@corduroysack
don't do that this will reverse to the old hildon-desktop
just install the one from the 1st post as long as you use CSSU and ignore any updates about hildon-desktop
