I'd be curious to know if oo-base 2.4 crashes, too, or if it is a 3.0 thing.

OObase3 (from Debian) crashes with:

Code:

the log file would be informative for a java expert but is too long to paste here.

I downloaded both your "old" and "new" rootfs'. For both, I freshly booted my n810, started debian chroot console, then issued "su user -c oowriter" and took the timings.

Old rootfs, with ooo 2.4:
splash screen shows at 9", then you get an usable window at 107".
After quitting oowriter, while the ooo quick start applet is open. subsequent starts are quicker and quicker: 9.5", 4.8", 4.4", 3.7".

New rootfs, with ooo 3.01:
splash screen shows at 7.3", usable windows at 164" (!), then after quitting subsequent starts take 10.3", 5.1", 4.6", 4.4".

So, ooo3 confirms to be slower on the NITs, and needs one minute more to start

After its full starting, it's more or less as performant as the previous version.

OK I took a whole day for that

(I had problems to find the 2.4.1. version)
ooo2.4.1 does not crash but complains it has no SDBC driver (whatever it means).
ooo3.0.1 crashes due to java as I reported before.

I unknowingly installed this because I was just re-installing easy debian from apt-get.

OpenOffice 3.0 works great so far. starts slower than 2.4, but feels quicker when up and running.

GREAT! THANKS!

Qole,
Following up on the issue of ooo3's database pgm crashing, I tried to init a Mer v12 image following your blog notes.

The 1st app that I installed and tested was Abiword. And what do you know, it appears not to crash as it did when we tested under your easy-mer image based on mer v8 (?). I was able to use the hildon keyboard successfully and switch back and forth to other running apps... scroll thru a 22 page document... all of this used used to cause crashes before.

As for OpenOffice, I am not so lucky... I was able to install the whole thing -- plus the OpenOffice GTK and Gnome packages. And indeed, I was able to start OpenOffice from the chroot command line... but I am crashing whenever the File Browser is invoked.

Code:

[root@chroot: /]openoffice.org
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
soffice.bin[6156]: GLIB WARNING ** default - unable to get gail version

error: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/../basis-link/program/fps_gnome.uno.so:
undefined symbol: gtk_file_chooser_get_files
[root@chroot: /]

So I must be missing something that is not spelled out in your notes... also, when trying to launch an app with debbie, I get

Code:

~ $ debbie abiword
Starting Debian abiword
No chroot dir specified; using /debian
/media/mmc2/mer12-armel.img.ext2 specified in ~/.chroot
qmount /media/mmc2/mer12-armel.img.ext2 /debian
/debian has a qmount already!
/media/mmc2/mer12-armel.img.ext2 already mounted on /debian...
Everything set up, running chroot...
Unknown id: user

What additional bit of configuration am I missing here?

Anyway, maybe it is time to bring forward your easy-mer package. :-)

Best,

--denis

I'll have to review my blog again; I should have included the following two things for making a Mer rootfs chroot-friendly in Maemo:

In the chroot: mkdir /home/user and chown user:users /home/user
You then have to synch the chroot. I did it manually, but you can use the /sbin/synchroot script, as long as you set the /home/user/.chroot file to point to the Mer mountpoint. You can get this to happen automatically by typing in Maemo terminal, touch /home/user/.synchroot

As for bringing forward Easy Mer, I'm waiting to see what Mer .13 brings. I want to give them one version to sort out what the Fremantle Beta release can give them.

I installed this, played with it a while, then logged out and turned the tablet off. Now it tells me the image files is not found. What should I do?

If I open the memory card in the file manager it tells me it is corrupted.

Unfortunately, your file manager is telling you what the problem is; your tablet thinks that your memory card is corrupted. If possible, try the memory card on another computer, and try to run some form of disk check on it. If none of these things work, you will need to reformat the card and download the image file again.

Hi, I've got a small question which probably has been answered already, but I have not been able to find the answer.

I installed "Audacity" through the synaptic package manager. Is there a way to get an icon in OS2008? or can I only open the added programs from the Debian desktop?

Also when I open audacity through the lxde debian desktop I get an error about the audio output source not being set properly.

Thanks
