When Easy Debian is uninstalled using App Manager does thhat leave the old image in place?

delaroca | # 252 | 2008-09-25, 04:29 | Report

It installs ok... but I am unable to install the debian image. The debian image installer script puts out

Downloading and extracting to /media/mmc2
Downloading EASY DEBIAN IMAGE FILE package

there's no network activity whatsoever and there's a process. installer.sh, using about 95% of the cpu.

Running on Diablo v4.2008.30-2 on an N800 tablet.

Hi qole,

So, I had downloaded the final image .tar when you released it a week or 2 ago onto my MMC2. (314 mb unzipped or whatever size...)

Your package installed fine, and it hung until I directed it to the MMC2 card, at which point it checked my final image .tar for integrity, and proceeded to extract it to its full 1.1 gb size. No problems there.

It congratulated me for a successful install, and I rebooted.

Upon reboot, none of the apps would launch via gui- no synaptic or gimp, no ice wm or browsers or open office.

So, I uninstalled.

icewm? this version has no icewm! there's something weird with that story...

Anyway, I need beta testers here, so if you could reinstall and then open a terminal, enter 'sudo debian' (no quotes) and then paste the results here, I'd be much obliged.

Yo, just saw this.

I'm in; I've actually been hanging loose not upgrading stuff on my chroot for a while, just waiting to try this out. I'm gonna get it started downloading tonight, and take it for a spin tomorrow.

yeah, my bad....the (pretty glacier blue) icon remains on my personal menu from the previous install, leading nowhere, and I clicked it.

I'll post a terminal output tomorrow if nobody has already done so...

i tryed and i failed. again.someone else commented the same, when i'm downloading the easy debian final image file the device tells me that it is downloading. well two devices tell me that actually. but a friend is downloading it via his laptop to the memory card. possibly that will work. will report back later

Idem for me, I've put the image url into the browser and it's downloading.
Maybe my problem is because of some proxy I must use at work.

[EDIT] It's alright, after downloading the image file (with the browser), the installer detected it, verified it and is now uncompressing it.

Qole,

On my N800 with Diablo, the Debian Image Install proc is failing to download the debian image file, ie., wget. The installer.sh proc sits chewing up 95% cpu time.

I downloaded the debian image file by hand and placed it in /media/mmc2... by doing so, Debian Install completed ok. So there seems to be a problem in installer.sh in fetching the image file from your server.

I am not sure I am happy with LXDE... besides being awfully slow, I keep getting "Application is not responding" dialogs with "Ok / Cancel" options. The previous IceWM seemed more solid.

Launching OpenOffice in this environment took forever... and I couldn't get matchbox-keyboard input t register at all... in contrast, I had no problem inputting chars with XVkbd.

If launched on the Hildon Desktop, the matchbox keyboard appears to work fine with OpenOffice. And while on this, what happened with the option to make OpenOffice run full-screen on the tablet's screen?

I wouldn't have minded if the new distribution included Abiword... yes, a Hildonized Abiword is now available -- but not yet fully robust. So having access to the Debian Abiword could be useful in some instances.

Re Xmodmaps, on my N800 if I have my own Xmodmap for an iGo Stowaway BT Keyboard do I just plug it into ~/.Xmodmap-keymap? Could you please explain how Xmodmaps are processed by your chroot scripts?

Edit: Is 'localepurge" no longer available... doing "apt-get install locale-purge" doesn't find the relevant package.

Edit: uninstalling the easy-chroot-deb package still seems to leave in place the /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs hack.

This isn't LXDE.. this has happened to me ever since going from a python script to the C binary for hostwin. Maemo thinks the application is just hung because it doesn't think/know that the Xephyr is being used.

It's really annoying... Sometimes I'll be typing in Debian and press enter right when that stupid popup shows up and it defaults to "OK" and closes my Debian window.
