You can easily do that yourself. Just de-install everything you don't want, either with synaptic or aptitude. But unless you want to free some space in your image (which itself will have the same size), why would you? Just out of disgust?

hmm tried again it didnt work I ended up uncommenting the sid stuff and it installed the package but fails starting with

root@deb-m5v3d:~]calibre
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/__init__.py", line 22, in <module>

is the answer knock down easy debian reinstall and try again? and how unstable is the extras-devel version? would I have a better shot getting calibre working from the extras-devel version?

qole: not really. I just don't have a need for them. also, a bit OCD seeing so many icons on my device that i would never use.

I'm actually fine with just removing them. If you could just list the packages installed, that would be fine as well.

1 other service i plan to run is asterisk. do you think it would install properly?

Btw, side note, i'm fairly new to linux. I've always developed my webapps (PHP) on Windows making sure they'd run properly when on linux.

To just get rid of the icons remove (or move away) the unused .desktop files from Maemo's /usr/share/application/hildon directory.

Also for the list of packages you don't need qole: In Debian chroot do

Code:

dpkg --get-selections

or fire up aptitude or synaptic.

Finally: this is a beta testing thread. So you can contribute by trying out something like asterisk in Easy Debian and reporting back to share what you found or asking for assistance.

Hi I'm a french user of easy debian so excuse for my english.
For me Gramps functione under lxde (office menu) and start from debbie.
On the other hand it doesn't functione with shortcut. I can se my shortcut with icon in my applications, It start then stop.

Here is my gramps.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=gramps
Icon=gramps
Exec=debbie gramps
Type=Application

IHave you got any idea?
Thanks

As I said, everything works fine when I start gramps from debbie.

Under LXDE, it just won't start. Launching gramps from a terminal within LXDE, I get the following error messages

Code:

5697: ERROR: gramps.py: line 138: Unhandled exception
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 1-3: invalid data

How can that be, as there were no errors at all with debbie!

For no good reason I tried again, but started LXDE by

Code:

sudo debian su - user -c xephwm5

instead of just "debbie xephwm5". All of a sudden gramps works without errors!

Curiously enough, I didn't need "su -" with debbie for gramps to work...

I guess that supports my previous statement that chroot should be done with "su -" throughout, and all openoffice environment variables set in the image. So that would be something for the next version easy-deb-chroot to consider. (My above suggestions for v3c are of course independent of that.)

Btw, monitoring xephwm5 I noticed an apparently harmless error. The script always produced "trl: command not found". What's that?

nothing shows up...what am I doing wrong?

ah thanks, I restarted debian, typed it correctly and it fails to start. it is looking for module mechanize. I don't know that that means but I did an apt-cache search mechanize (see below) and if one of these packages can fix the issue I have no idea which one...

It looks like calibre is a Python app. Try installing python-mechanize and see if it works.

Code:

apt-get install python-mechanize
