I actually think this is a bug  -  XFCE4 depends specifically on the x.org X server.  I've changed my xserver-titchy package so that it pretends to be the x.org package.
I know this is the legacy of Z Titchy, but I fail to see the advantage of the desktop package having a dependency on XFCE4 rather than icewm-experimental. The XFCE4 is so heavy now, that it's not really a "lightweight" wm alternative anymore.
I'm waiting to see what happens in this thread.

Each time I get a file that is less than the 245MB's that you've listed, largest download I've gotten is about 233MB and sometimes much less....

Anyone got any ideas why this is happening and any suggestions to get full download file???

You're downloading it from a browser, the line gets dropped in trasmission.
Get it by:
[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']$ wget -c http://sumoudou.org/uni/shiroikuma-univers...0080507.tar.bz2[/div]

Yup, that did it, ShiroiKuma!

Thanks!

Is it possible to compile apps on the universal with Debian installed? Has anyone been successful in doing so? I have two small apps that I would like to build for it

You will need to install several packages (gcc, make...) but it works actually, though it is pretty slow to do so - depending on the applications size - I compiled a version of abiword with embedded gui

Hope someone can please advise....

Installed ShiroiKuma's rootfs yesterday and overall is working well.

Only thing is that I need to use WiFi to connect it to internet.

Realized that 'wireless-tools' package is not included in rootfs....  

Have tried unsuccessfully several times to get HTC Uni connected to net via my laptop (debian) as I did in previous install...have re-read the previous posts on this thread about this issue and has not helped this time..

Can't figure out why, but this time I can't get connected nor can I even ping my laptop from my HTC or vice-versa. Always get 'host unreachable' error message.

The other error message I get periodically now on my laptop is:

Code: [Select]
usb0:  kevent0 may have been dropped
usb0:  kevent1 may have been dropped

So, wondering either

A) What to do get USB Networking working?

or

 Is there a simple way to download a  'wireless-tools' package with all the related files so that I can then copy it over to my SD card, put SD in HTC and install from there?

or

C) Can we get a rootfs with the wireless-tools in it so that we don't have to go through all this to get on internet??

or

??


Thanks for any and all help!

This is actually a problem with xdm, that I observed when setting my rootfs. If you have a username with an empty password, like in this instance, xdm will NOT login, i.e. you get the login incorrect.

That's why I set the root's password to root in my rootfs, specifically to overcome this. Anyhow if you logged in once, you should've changed root's password anyway, that should be automatic and not login as root with an empty pass.

To solve your problem:

Mount the SD card on a linux pc.
In /etc/rc2.d rc3. rc4.d and rc5.d rename S99xdm to K01xdm

Then you can boot on the Uni. X will not start. CHANGE THE ROOT'S PASSWORD. Then rename all the K01xdm files back to S99xdm.

Reboot. X will start. You will be able to login normally.

Don't know what the problem could be. I use USB according to the Wiki at Datathief's site with no prob. No changes in the rootfs necessary.

Which rootfs are you using? If it's mine, you don't need to mount it and all the rest, just log into xdm with root user and root password. Then change it there.

I guess I'd better change my rootfs to have a default password...

Abiword should work well.  Mousepad is a nice simple plain-text editor.  Mirage is a good image viewer.  You can install Apache if you wish.

Check out the APT HOWTO at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ - especially section 5.
