Maybe you could change the qmount-script to mount debian with nobh and nodiratime in addition to notime to gain a little bit more performance.

hstende: can you confirm any performance improvement with those options? If you can, I'm willing to add them and upload (yet another) new version of Easy Chroot...

I tried to run som test and it was a little bit faster with the extra options. I runned debian on sdhc-card as a partition and not as a image. I did the test on /root so I was sure I didn't use the bind-mounted partitions.
Here are some results:

with noatime:
[root@debian: ~]time for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do cp test test$i; rm test$i; done;done

I found another possibility to run application in easy debian.
I installed ssh in easy debian and told it to listen to port 23.
I then from n900 console after starting debbie and starting ssh-deamon.
I ran from debbie
ssh-keygen
cp .ssh/id_rsa.pub ./ssh/autorized_keys
chmod 600 ./ssh/authorized_keys
exit from debbie

From meamo-console I then ran:
ssh -X localhost -p 23 soffice

This gave a better look to openoffice.
But if the application uses a lot of video, this would be a slow option....

I think the easy debian package needs to "depends: dmsetup" - shall I file a bug report?

downloaded new chroot update that showed up today, now there is no close debian. is it not needed anymore?

qole | # 637 | 2010-03-01, 17:18 | Report

phedders: Perhaps I could add a "suggests" line in the "easy chroot" package for "dmsetup", "libdevmapper1.02.1" and "kernel-module-dmloop", (I wish dmsetup depended on the other two!) but people have done tests and there doesn't seem to be an actual need for the dm-loop packages. But if you install them, my scripts will use them. The problem is that, unlike Debian, Maemo has no concept of "suggests".

dscobsct: I moved the "Close Debian" icon to Easy Debian, so if you update both packages, the (shiny new) icon should be in your menu again.

hstende: How does running openoffice through ssh -X make it look "better"? Is it because it uses the standard theme rather than the dark theme?

After opening Debian lxde I can't see the menu. There are only 3 icons on the left panel and My documents folder. Normally there was a menu icon in the upper left corner from which I could choose to run openoffice or gimp or something else.

fw190: have you installed the new image? If not, grab it with the fancy new installer.
