Yes. You were in the wrong folder so dpkg was not finding the .deb file to install.

Choosing a Debian image :
Easy Debian needs a Debian image (ext2 or ext3 type) in "/home/user/MyDocs" and named "debian*.img*". You need 3GB (or more) available on "MyDocs" partition.
1) Choose a Debian image :
There are some options of Debian images, see their detailed description in post #137.
It's recommended to use the most stable image where all Easy Debian icons work, it is a scientific version of Qole's default Easy Debian image, debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma (04/08/2012, 486 MB of download, 2GB after uncompressing, 176 MB available inside it). If downloaded before 04/08/2012, please download it again as it was updated. Copy it to "/home/user/MyDocs/" then, as user in Terminal :
$ cd ~/MyDocs
$ xz -d debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma

when I try to enter $ cd ~/MyDocs

it tells me

sh: cd: can't cd to /root/MyDocs

the file "debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma" is located in "/home/user/MyDocs/"

Thanks again

Pay attention to the instructions, you are logged as "root" user (after "devel-su") instead of "user" user. The instructions of 1st post says "Copy it to "/home/user/MyDocs/" then, as user in Terminal :
$ cd ~/MyDocs
$ xz -d debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma".

When you open a Terminal, you are as "user".

ok, so no password or devel-su are needed, great

just open terminal and immediately type

$ cd ~/MyDocs
$ xz -d debian-m5-v3e-Sci-2GB.img.ext2.lzma

Re: [Announce] Easy Debian for MeeGo Harmattan : now with translucent VKB on PR1.3 !

Hi !
First : excuse my poor english level.
Second : thanks for this tutorial, it's very usefull !!

Now : my problem ..
Trying to install the virtual keyboard, xmimd_1.2_armel.deb )
( Rename in "1.deb" )

And terminal saying :
Aegis rejecting 1.deb: package 'xmimd' already installed from 'com.nokia.maemo/local' -- not replacing it from unknown origin
aegis aborting dpkg -- all listed package files rejected
Compilation failed in require

Thanks for ur help !

Searching on topic, maybe forgot devel-su ? no !
File corrupt : downloaded it 2 times ..

is there some easy way to get me a transparent vkb for general usage. out looks really cool and even more convenient and useful.

Yes, "devel-su" is needed, see item B.3 of 1st topic :
"$ devel-su
type the root password, then :"
If the problem persists, as root remove xmimd before installing v1.2 :
# dpkg -r xmimd

Not yet available. See the topic "xmimd: X11 <-> Meego Input Method bridge".
