Great thread so far, it's been very helpful and for the most part I was able to get mine working completely just from reading your writeup, so kudos for that. I am having a few minor problems though..

I am unable to use my finger to move the gui cursor even when selecting 1:1..not a big deal because i can use the trackball just as well, but curious if there is a fix.

Another, bigger problem for me(but probably easier to fix) is that I can't seem to connect from my computer, I've tried vncviewer in linux and RealVNC's Vnc Viewer for Windows..but both time out..any ideas?

Thanks!

For the first problem:

When you select 1:1 on the menu, it will go into panning mode, PRESS your trackball and it will go into 'finger' mode.

Working on the second, any sugeestions from anyone else?

Well I can only assume I'm not doing something right because everyone else seems to be doing fine.
I set up debian using the auto installer no problems
Resized the image to 1.5gb with no problems
But apt-get install tightvncserver is giving me a few 404 errors, tells me maybe an apt-get update will fix it, but it doesn't. So I assume that's normal and continue. Apt-get install lxde seemed to go ok, did the user root thing, it takes me back to a # prompt immediately, I assume that's normal, type vncserver, and it tells me its not found. So that's as far as I got. Don't know why I'm getting the 404 errors, but I'm guessing that's my problem. Any help or advice would be greatly appriciated.

Hi,

The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but either the server could not find what was requested, or it was configured not to fulfill the request and did not reveal the reason why. 404 errors should not be confused with server not found or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server could not be made at all.

The only thing I can think is that your device cant see out to the internet, or the repo you are trying to get tightvnc from is temporarily down, try later.

:blink:

im also having the 404 error. i have tried doing this multiple times, using a clean 2 gig image each time. i came to the same conclusion as you so i modified all my apn's and placed the phone right next to my wifi router so it was forced to use wifi and these are my results

Reading package lists... Done

i have tried this entirely on 3g, edge, and wifi, and none of them want to let me connect to the server. i have a feeling like the pakage list in debian is outdated or something, but i ran apt-get update right after running /scripts/onetime.sh

any ideas?

edit: it also wont let me fully download lxde or icewm. and if you click the link where the 404 error is on your computer, it also gives you a 404 error from the debian server, which is why i dont think its a connection problem on the phones end.

Ahaaa guys!!!

Do this:

apt-get update

If that doesn't do it try this:

apt-get update --fix-missing

Literally that should fix you up.

Also please continue to post your results for the others who may encounter the same issues.

Thanks all.

i tried that before and it didnt work for me, i just tried it again and it was a no go, i can send you the terminal code if you ever need it. i wonder if i can manually update the package lists?



also on the note of issues other may encounter
if bootdeb doesnt work try
su bootdeb (all one command)
i have to do that every time i boot
i also have to do
modprobe ext2
before i do su bootdeb every time i restart the phone (untill i added it to bootdeb.sh now its done automatically)
