I was talking about the PNG image, not the O image of Ubuntu.
The reason for asking is that it might have a corrupt header and is thus being rejected. That would explain why the image is not working. But the easiest method is to first check the image on the n900 itself. Does it show in your image viewer?

The chance that the Ubuntu image is corrput and that everything else works except for the icon image is minimal, I'd say. Also, the chance that if you have a corrupt Ubuntu image, it's gotten corrupted in the download and not the upload. In other words: The original should be ok. Just download the Ubuntu image again if you think that is the culprit. (Which I doubt)

so please make a new script

Code:

cd ubuntu
touch ubuntuxephwm5
chmod +x ubuntuxephwm5
nano ubuntuxephwm5

now copy this

Code:

#!/bin/sh

xephwm5

ok so now edit the ubuntu script

Code:

nano ubuntu

at the end change this

Code:

$SCRIPTDIR/chrootubuntu $SCRIPTDIR/startubuntu

to this

Code:

$SCRIPTDIR/chrootubuntu $SCRIPTDIR/ubuntuxephwm5

now chroot into ubuntu and change this parameters

Code:

nano /usr/bin/xephwm5

Yes, i was talking about the png image too...
It shows up just fine on the N900 image viewer.. I've tried downloading it again 3 times from PC but it still won't work on tinypic..

Anyway, it's not a big deal, i don't mind cos i can use any ubuntu image for an icon.. But i googled around and still can't find the one with "ubuntu" letter on it lol..

So any idea where else can i get that image?

Thanks. But i still can't upload it to tinypic.. Only ubuntu.png that doesn't work, the other images (arch and fedora) work

It's ok though, i'm gonna use another image
And another thing, i tried to copy the icons using filebox into
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable
But i got "Operation not permitted"

How do i fix it?

Code:

sudo cp <path to the icon> /usr/share/hicolor/scalable

Sorry i can't make the icon appear, it still shows blue square even after i reboot it.. moreover, the x-terminal crashes my device whenever i'm trying to save the change in this code :

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Ubuntu LXDE
GenericName=Ubuntu LXDE
Exec=/usr/bin/ubuntu-lxde
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/ubuntu.png
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true

Is the path correct already?

Like this?

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Ubuntu LXDE
GenericName=Ubuntu LXDE
Exec=/usr/bin/ubuntu-lxde
Icon=ubuntu
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true

It still doesn't work...

btw what's the difference between this and easy debian? Is it just faster?
