Icehamster 0.5 released.

• Fixed "Open File...".
• Added basic downloading support.

To download a file, select "File => Save Link As..." and click the link to download.

I am still having trouble downloading files. Most such ware links from a page. I can't just save the whole page, can I? Yet, when I click on the file to be downloaded, I still get the same error. What is the workaround?

Can you give an example? I haven't managed to figure out Minimo's built-in download manager, but mine (select "File => Save Link As..." and then click a link to download) works for me.

Well, I just tried to download either icehamster itself, or minimo, following what you just suggested (before I had clicked the link -- seemed like the thing to do -- and got the weird error message as before. I didn't get your instructions before).

But all I got was some empty files with random filenames in /tmp. Where are they supposed to appear, and with what names?

Just tried Icehamster. It's nice!
"Save Link As..." then tap works for me.
What is missing in the file downloading dialog is the filename, which is left blank and i have to fill that in.

Do you get a "Save As..." dialog window when you click the link?

Agreed. Once I work out how to do that (reliably), I'll be happy.

this looks awsome.. does it exist as an Angstrom package?

Have just done a fresh install of Debian EABI and overall is working good....

Now, would like to install icehamster but having problem installing icehamster and minimo....per Titchy's IceHamster webpage....

Hope someone can please advise...

Per instructions downloaded files and did:

CODE

#dpkg --install minimo_0.02+cvs20070626-r0_armel.deb  icehamster_0.5.deb
selecting previously deselected package minimo.
(Reading database.... 37982 files and directories currently installed....)
Unpacking minimo (from minimo_0.02+cvs20070626-r0_armel.deb)...
Selecting previously deselected package icehamster_0.5.deb.
Unpacking icehamster (from icehamster_0.5.deb)....
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of minimo:
  minimo depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.1.0.14); however:
    package libgtk2.0-0 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing icehamster (--install):

Any suggestions???

Just want to try and avoid messing up my nice new fresh EABI install.....

Thanks!

If you get dependency problems when installing a package using dpkg, try:

CODE

apt-get -f install

If you get dependency problems when installing a package using dpkg, try:

Thanks for the suggestion, datathief....my main concern was whether or not forcing the install and upgrading the dependent packages might break my current setup, that is working nicely right now....

Meanwhile....just tried

CODE

#apt-get -f install

and now get more error messages.....

It clearly didn't like that!.....



Hmmm....did some further looking on the Debian forums....

Please see thread Apt-get Issues

which in turn references another Debian thread Mod Libdirectfb & Libts Packages, ... will fix apt-get dist-upgrade issues

that relates to the libts issue.....in fact I had posted on it and noted problems related to this....which ended up later leading up to my re-installing Debian EABI again....

Any suggestions please?????



Thanks!

I had to

CODE

dpkg --force-overwrite -i  /var/cache/apt/archives/libts-0.0-0_1.04_armel.deb && apt-get install -f

Yep, that works, mikeones!



Hmmm...now, it's asking if I want to change '/etc/ts.conf' or not.....

Did you accept the new version of this file or leave the old one?

I went ahead and accepted the new version....then after that a lot of other files got updated/configured....

UPDATE: I now have a touchscreen calibration problem....cursor in IceWM is way off....

I try quitting IceWm and then running 'ts_calibrate' but it opens and then quickly closes.....console shows quite a few lines of calibration related text saying that it took readings from different points.....

Just checked '.profile' and it says the following related to touchscreen:

CODE

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE="/dev/input/ts0"
export TSLIB_CONFFILE="/etc/ts.conf"

Just checked '/etc/ts.conf' and it has everything commented out EXCEPT for the following lines:

CODE

module_raw input

module pthres pmin=1
module variance delta=30
module dejitter delta=100
module linear

Any suggestions as to how to get touchscreen calibrated again???

Thanks!!

Always (99% of the time) choose not to update the config file. I chose to keep my current config. You can however type "D" to see for your self what changes will be made.

I always run ts_calibrate from within icewm. Just pull up a console and run ts_calibrate. You may have to su to root 1st if you are running as a non-privileged user.

Here is my /etc/ts.conf

CODE

module_raw input grab_events=0
module_raw corgi
module pthres pmin=1
module variance delta=30
module dejitter delta=100
module linear

Yup, that did it, mikeones!!!

Just edited 'ts.conf' to match your first 2 lines and voila! 'ts_calibrate' runs OK again.....got screen calibrated and working now again!!

THANKS!
