Estel: When I ran it, LXDE from your image wasn't configured very well; the theme, panels, fonts, and background were not set correctly. That's what I meant.

That's the same thing that has happened to me. I thought it was due to my lack of knowledge around ED as it's the first time I have set it up, but the appearance of LXDE seems unmodified, even the panels are not autohiding or configured for finger use as you explained before.

Maybe it's a wrong image?

Nope, in my case Shockwave Flash is also listed - 9.0 r31, provided via /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libdebianflashplayer.so

If you wait a little, we can move this discussion to new thread.

@qole, ivgalvez
Damn, I have no idea why it was looking like that. Thinking about that, it's probably missing configuration from /home/user/.config/lxpanel and similar things.

qole, do you remember which files from /home/user/(.config?) exactly are used by ED? I would upload them, as a "hotfix", for separate extraction.

As a long-term solution, I would use - as You suggested - "onfirstchroot" scripts, to unmount Maemo /home/user, and it would use own ED content. uploaded in new version of image.

Does anyone have idea, how such script should like? Or, maybe better ideas to solve that?

The Chromium plugins problem is another example of the missing home directory config files. I've got a few pots on the stove, but I'll try to make a script for you to unmount the /home/user folder in the image...

First mount the image and the partition mmcblk0p4 to a directory:

Code:

mount -o loop /home/user/MyDocs/ed-squeeze-final.ext3 /media/ed

mkdir /mnt/debian-tmp
mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/debian-tmp

Then your copy command should look like this:

With your command above, you copy from (empty?) mmcblk0p4 to the mounted ed-image.
----> the general principle is alwas: cp <-opt> <source> <destination>
You can also copy/backup directly from partition (mmcblkXpY) to image file and verse visa with dd.

Example:

Code:

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p4 of=/home/user/MyDocs/part0p4.ext3

Code:

dd if=/home/user/MyDocs/part0p4.ext3 of=/dev/mmvblk0p4

Everything worked except copy command.As soon as i issued that command my device froze for sometime and gave some error messages about epiphany.After that It got switched of itself.When I edited chroot and started ED it complained of non existing image in said partition.Anyways Thank you.I will patiently wait for a new thread and dedicated partition related tutorial.

You might want to set 'nice -n 19' before the copy command to ease the burden of the I/O-process like that

Code:

nice -n 19 cp -a /media/ed/* /mnt/debian-tmp/

If you are having copy / decompression problems when using the MyDocs directory, you probably need to run the following two commands before trying the copy command:

Code:

sudo nr_requests_setup
sudo swapoffon

If that doesn't work, reboot your phone and try again.
