I always copy those files to a subfolder from the location where I run chroot.

So:

Copy both files over to /home/user/archlinux either through your USB or by terminal.

After that, chroot into archlinux and copy those files to the appropriate places, id est

set-focus goes to usr/bin/ and the other one goes to /sbin/

While still chrooted you should be able to chmod +x both these files.

After being a bit disappointed with UBUNTU (I can't install any apps) I Want to uninstall it and try Arch. I'm planning to do a full re-flash. Am I obliged to install easy debian or simply Easy chroot? Some say in the previous posts that he did not install easy debian!

If that was your disappointment, than it´s better not to even think about archmobile. Not even a browser is available and the build packages lack as well. So as a result somebody will have to start cross-compiling native applications and pray they actually run.

Hahahahah! Really?? I wanted to test it just for fun!!! But if not even a browser is available i think I will reinstall UBUNTU. About easy debian, Am I obliged to install it or just easy chroot???

I don´t have easy debian installed, so my guess is it´s not needed. But if it´s for play anyway, you might install it just to see what´s going on. I installed Arch only because it used Enlightenment. Let´s call it an old love of mine, that I´m happy to see again on my n900. Also I wanted to be able to play around with an Enlightenment module called Illume I had seen a vid on youtube with an n800 running their virtual keyboard. Long story short: it turns out to be already installed with this Archmobile image and it´s not just a virtual keyboard but a complete theme. And a nice one at that.

Conclusion: interested in play? Than by all means, do install Arch and have a play with Enlightenment, fire up the Illume theme, play with the virtual terminal keyboard. Then come back and tell me that keyboard sucks

Have fun

Edit: What´s propaganda without eye candy? So screenshots were added.

It seems that the N900 Keyboard works now with archmobile!!

I don't want to install another system wich will not be useful! I thought that by installing UBUNTU i would have a whole complete OS but It lacks many things!!!!

I love Ubuntu which faster than Easy Debian

,I can installed and run some software on it, such as Gimp, inkscape, rawstudio...

Just hope someone can make a easy ubuntu, easy to install, like easy debian, improve it and keep to update the image.

@qole :

Could you tell us which part of the "debbie" script in usr/bin that i should modify in order to do the same thing for ubuntu?
Thanks.

@deny_winarto: OpenOffice Desktop

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=OpenOffice
GenericName=OpenOffice
Exec=ubuntu openoffice.org
Icon=ooo-gulls
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
Terminal=true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true

so all you have to do is change debbie for ubuntu
