**Blows dust off thread** Right, Extend Utils will be getting an update soon as I've discovered a particularly clever method of automatically extending the NAND to the overlays on boot. This would absolutely, definitely, make it highly unwise to remove your SD card while in use.. but means you...

I'll be doing a rather major update to the guide soon, along with the release of a new batch of rootfs images. ( yes, images, plural.. ) I've got Emdebian's Grip distribution running properly now... this is good as it cuts out a huge amount of cruft for the majority of the "main" repo packages...

Testing this with Big Buck Bunny ( the IPod 5G 320×180, 62 MB version. ) I have modified the 1.0.3 release in the following ways though: I installed the full lxde ( just do apt-get install lxde ) I installed x11-xserver-tools ( as I forgot xmodmap so your keybindings will be iffy ) I...

Ok, I'll have a look when I get some time.. in the final stages of our project at work so time is a bit thin at the moment..

Debian stuff is compiled to ARM4 whereas our Angstrom stuff will be ARM7 .. so it's more generic in Debian. Shouldn't really be that horrifically slow though.. try running Angstrom from SD card and do the same thing - it might be a bug in the SD I/O stuff, for example. If I find some time...

Preinstalled sessions? There's nothing but LXDE on there... SLIM is just being confusing and saying other things are there and I hadn't really bothered much to go and figure out how to remove them. Also, xorg is there and installed - it IS the X server! I did push this out a bit too quick...

I did forget xmodmap it seems.. oops.. so yes, install x11-xserver-utils as chris_c mentions above. I think I will do another image this weekend to try fix all these small niggles... was a bit too quick pushing this up I think, though it takes a stupidly long time to go and test everything, and...

Wonder if I forgot xmodmap.. that'd be typical.. if running the above in a terminal gives an error, just install it via apt-get. Suppose that's what I get for trying to rush another release out.. been a few hiccups so far :\

I've had mine running _all_ day on battery pulling down upgrades from sid ( speaking of which, don't do it, you WILL break your system ) - I've only just connected it to the mains now after five hours of it downloading and unpacking stuff ( and my battery wasn't even completely charged at the...

If you are going to start fiddling with the other desktop environments, I'd suggest pulling in GDM instead of SLIM, as it's a bit easier to change which session to start ( you effectively get a nice list :) ) Remember to post any cool hacks you come up with! --edit-- Word of warning.. don't...

Automount probably isn't installed this time, this is meant as a base to add to, not as a full working distro - to try keep the size down. If you need to add stuff to get things working, by all means add it to the Wiki page at the bottom - that's what it's there for! The shortcuts might be...

Errr yea, something like that ;) Amusing that it's been wrong for a while and someone only just corrected me! Anyway, 1.0.3 is released now and should be pretty stable and complete for the most part. It's the last "brute force" version I'll be doing ( unless something hideous shows up as...

I've not had any issues like that; only thing I can suggest is ensure your battery is connected properly as they're fickle things and that can definitely cause strange behaviour. The power manager icon in Debian certainly works for me and seems to report it accurately ( hard to tell other than...

I don't quite understand what you mean? Timeout in which manner? If you mean rebooting or shutting down in that it sits on a console screen for a while - I'm not quite sure what it's doing, but it seems to be ok if you leave it a minute.. it's showing the wrong console effectively so you can't...

Ah, I think I see what you're doing now, and why it's not quite working. You're making a shortcut to a PND.. pndnotifyd handles these and it seems to be a tad off in my Debian releases for some reason. If you truly want to make a shortcut on your desktop to toggle Wifi, rather than going into...

Last time I tried this, it died on it's face... I've only been marginally successful with Jaunty - anything newer seems to give up while booting. Maverick was particularly painful as it's aptitude would randomly lockup and die just while fetching packages! And if it did it while installing...

And 1.0.3 is finished and available here: http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/pandora-squeeze-1.0.3.tar.bz2 It's actually pretty much the smallest release - smaller than even the 1.0.2 minimal rootfs! It's about 210mb and extracts to about 800mb. There is no minimal release for...

I'm doing a final pass over everything this weekend to get this as a stable "final" before I start recompiling stuff properly and doing the whole Pandora-specific Debian repo thing. This will give a much smaller rootfs as the current one has an entire dev environment which is perhaps a bit...

That's strange, it should work, and I've just tested it here. Try just "sudo synaptic" Also, there is no root password.. when gksudo/sudo asks for a password, it's the user password - which will be "debian" in this case.
