Debian on Paperwhite [video]

[twobob]

nah... questions fine.

I am just struggling to understand why it is not fullscreen - and Debian looks to have "not loaded" at all.. just trashed your home page

Logs?? errors? anything???

[twobob]

Okay... one thought...


SSH in and run the script like that...

Take the launcher out of the overall problem...

Does it run fine like that?

[Bagerfahrer]

Nice thought... here the "log". ^^

So, THIS problem with the permissions I had before too like start-x.sh and so on... ARGGGGG. I will look for it. Thanks! Maybe you can add something to it.

[twobob]

ah right... hmm that sounds familiar somehow..

*thinking hard*

you did the steps outlined https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=22 here right???

[Bagerfahrer]

Yea, it shows the Desktop. Great. Thanks for your tip to ssh.

No, here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=35.

[twobob]

Excellent.

*high 5*

[Bagerfahrer]

And here a more noob question: How can I add things to this desktop? Are there special packages needed?

[twobob]

ssh into the device...

apt-get update (this will pull down the latest available "things" and their location)

you can add things to your apt repository list if the default things available aren't enough.
Things can go wrong though.... installing aptitude is never a bad idea. (other than space)
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=103


apt-cache search whatever (where, "whatever" is what you are searching for)

apt-get install whatever

(there are a few posts on this thread of me doing this with examples)
EDIT: HERE https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=29

hope that helps.


Other things:

Rsyncing other profiles on and off the device...
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...2&postcount=48

what I do at the start.. (where you are I think)

Thanks. Yea, I know a little bit about dpkg and apt-get becasue I chose this distribution becasue it was more better to control and didn't eat so much performance.

That's to costly for me because I am Windows user and why I should backup in an virtual system when I can backup the debian.ext3 with Windows too. But thanks that you had an another alternative when i maybe switch to Ubuntu or like this.

[twobob]

okay. the .desktop files live in the debian filesystem "somewhere.." you can make them by hand or let the installer do the job.


"Costly" = yep perfect use of the word.

Capabilities:
64-bit files, 64-bit inums, 32-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints,

rsync is a file transfer program capable of efficient remote update
via a fast differencing algorithm.

Usage: rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
or rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOSTEST
or rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST:EST
or rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST
or rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC [DEST]
or rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]
or rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC [DEST]
The ':' usages connect via remote shell, while '::' & 'rsync://' usages connect
to an rsync daemon, and require SRC or DEST to start with a module name.

yeah

[Bagerfahrer]

I will give it a look, thanks.

Where can I find this "Stop Debian" entry? Because it doesn't work for me.

[twobob]

umm...

IIRC... it's just a script. so... find -name *debian.sh

or something??

I dont actually have this on my device right now...
sorry

[Bagerfahrer]

I have a question about Netsurf. Is it normally that the keyboard close his self when I press on the webpage and is it normally that it doesn't open when I click on an input from a webpage to write something??? When I press on an input from the Browser the keyboard opens normally...
Maybe I have to set up something?

[twobob]

Netsurf wont use Kindle keyboard inside debian. nothing will.
only run natively under awesome. AFAIK

[knc1]

You aren't going to port KDE to the Kindle?

Oh, man, next thing you will be telling us you will not be porting OpenOffice to the Kindle.


PS: to the non-software tech. readers - either of the above would take more than one person's lifetime to do.
