As far as I can tell these "shortcuts" people are asking about are not really shortcuts, just window icons. Think of the webtop's shortcut bar as similar to Windows 7, where the shortcut becomes the task icon for the running window. If a current window does not have an shortcut it is added. You'll have better luck customizing things if you install a different window manager. I did try running KDE, and all it did was switch window decorations, and I haven't had time to screw with startup scripts to make kwin the default. Right now I'm settling for running KDE apps, OpenOffice, and synaptic from command line. Perhaps someone knows the folder those shortcuts are contained in, and hopefully the structure of the link? Shortcuts are generally text files renamed to a .lnk file extension, or something similar to that. They should be easy to duplicate and edit. I would be cautious of this though, because there is only so much room on the webtop, and I don't believe there can be shortcuts on the bar.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pederb:
Well it is if you want to update to 2.3.4. like I want to do but could not because it did not allow me to install. So I need to un-install first then install the updated version?

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
Then you can add a shortcut to open office by adding a short cut to:

chroot /osh/opt/WebTopMOD/root /usr/share/bin/ooffice

Or whatever it is, sorry I don't have open office so I am pretty sure the path I put in there above is wrong, maybe someone else can help you with that.

You will have to click the penguin first before starting anything in the chroot environment, but you can add as many short cuts as you like using the chroot command above.

I hope that all makes sense, sorry it is getting a bit late for me.[/QUOTE]

this didnt work, does anyone know the correct code for shortcut to open office in awn? thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sporrer:
Allways aborts on my hktw 2.3.4 ;-(

Any idea?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] deromedi:
Where is my recovery gone?

Since I installed Debian, I can't access to my recovery any more... :confused:

what can I do?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
I've not installed 2.3.4 so I can't test it directly. Can you you explain me what's happen?

Thank you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
has anyone got this to work? i am have troble resizing my linux disk, any help would be awesome, thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sporrer:
See attachements... doesnt work from internal (1st try) nor from external-sd(2nd try)

The image WebTopMOD/linuxdisk is on both cards
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
I get the same error :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] voidlogik:
I don't even get that far. Im stuck at Installing update... and it will not go further. can anyone lend me some help. i have the correct path setup \sdcard\webtopmod\linuxdisk. i have tried having the .zip file on either the internal storage and install from there and now the sd card, no dice on either. Any help would be appreciated thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
Are we to unpack this to sdcard-ext like the WebTopMODz?

never mind i got it.

up and running update now, then open office then xfce4, then um maybe firefox4? does that work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] makr8100:
Hopefully you were able to resize the image? It shouldn't be unpacked. First you'll want to update apt-get, then install and run synaptic. It's a gui package manager. Debian uses iceweasel instead of firefox, which is the same thing but branded for Debian. If u you want firefox itself you'll have to download it straight from mozilla. Before installing xfce you should check out lxde, it's another full featured desktop and actually runs lighter than xfce. I should warn you I've had troubles switching window managers, but I know it's possible.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
i am looking for any browser that will run java jre, i need this for my works website.

can i just search for ice weasel in synaptic?

and ive already installed xfce4 and so far so good, how much liter? will it really make a difference?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sporrer:
did u run it on 2.3.4?

anybody out there how has debian running on 2.3.4?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aver2one:
When you try to install it on 2.3.4 using CWM it says....

-- Installing: / sdcard/ easy_ etc.....

Finding update package....

Opening update package ....

Installing update.....

Installation aborted.

Of course on the first line it doesn't say etc.. just didn't want to type the whole path.

EDIT Nvm I didn't see the screen shots the other guy already posted
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sporrer:
I think this .zip doesn't work for 2.3.4
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
Can someone please make an updated zip file for 2.3.4? No matter what I edit in the 2.5 zip, I get an error 6.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] makr8100:
Yes you can use iceweasel exactly as if it were firefox, and it will install from synaptic. If you have xfce idk if switching now will benefit you much. There have been talks in the Linux community about how bloated xfce is becoming and lxde is the new "preferred" lightweight wm. I haven't used either extensively, but have tested both. I preferred lxde, but as usual it's all preference and opinion. Did you actually get the entire wm to run or just apps from it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
Sinful Animosity, pederb, sporrer, aver2one please check your PM inbox
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sporrer:
doesn't work 4 me...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
Yeah, still no good for me. :/

still aborts the install a soon as I start it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aver2one:
Same here
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pederb:
Seem to have the same issue.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
Thanks for the advice! LOL believe it or not ive installed and removed gnome, kde, xfce, and lxde. along with most of there addons......

I really liked the desktop on xfce, but eneded up keeping lxde. I have the ice weasle, however it has less features then the firefox that came with the laptop, none of which will run jre 1.6 u26, which is what my works web site is requiring. It has some java enabled, but not the updates i need.

any ideas on that one?

BTW i did get the 4g linux to work! and ive unistalled and re installed several times !:0 . just cause its easier then clicking on all those packets in Synaptic each time i tried a new one.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] makr8100:
When I run kwin --replace I get the kwin window decorations but the webtop desktop stays. How did you change it to boot a different wm? As for firefox, try going to mozilla.org - also they have a ftp at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox where you can download any current, past, or dev release of firefox. It looks like they only compile for win/mac/linux 386/64, so you'll probably have to compile from source being that none are compatible with linux-arm. I've used opensuse for 5 years now, but am pretty new to debian so I'm still adjusting to some differences. On a random tangent, I wonder if wine runs on arm and what one might do with it >:]
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
ok so ive installed and reinstalled this mod a TON, the 2g from page 1, and the 4g from back a few, what i am seeing is that the 1st one allows me to apt-get update, and the other one always times out, i am not sure why or how to correct this.

any ideas?

right now ive installed and un installed so many wms ive beat myself up to death over what ones do what i like and what ones dont. i wish i knew why the 4g image wont let me update but the 2g will. i want the 4g but i want updated files running as this is affecting how the wms run.

anyways im so tired, been at this for 6 hours none stop since i got home from working 9 hours!

UPDATE:: i cant get ther of these to update with apt-get now! what the hell! ok back to the 4g and then im done.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] starrwulfe:
Is it possible to make a space that shows what programs will/won't run in the new environment?

Also how's batter life with the Lapdock?

Since looks like we're running 2 linux environments at once, is there an issue with performance?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
So, I have just do this 5 steps on "[1st - EASY METHOD]"?

I did and nothing happened...

Sorry, I´m noob.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
that's just to install it, however there are a couple things you still need to do manually for setup. after you install go to the heading "USE:" and follow those instructions as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
So, I did it to, but after [enter] I did, they ask me about a password. I put enter again, and doesnt get error.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
I did the easy install, said install was complete. Entered webtop and apparently debian never loaded. I have the debian.zip extracted to sdcard/DEBIAN with /root and debian.png in that directory. debian2gb.7z extracted to sdcard/DEBIAN/

Is this correct? No file extension on that debian image? I have cwm backup from pre-install, just in case. Also, I have webtop hack installed, so no laptop dock, just hdmi.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jkrohn:
Same problem for me except I have the laptop dock. Are you running 1.83?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XxKILLx3RxX:
I asked earlier and the OP said that we didn't have to follow the "Use" instructions if doing it the easy way. But yea, I did that and it doesn't do anything any different. It just doesn't let me open lxterminal any more (on gladiatrix 0.2 1.8.3).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dubyajaysmith:
Same here, I read OP reply to your comment earlier so I haven't used USE: commands. Have lapdock and on 183 as well. I have tried many times and not sure what to do next? I can't open firefox or anything, read someone had the same problem so im guessing thats why your term isnt opening...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
I think that arm builds for moonlight is not yet available...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
Probably you haven't unpacked debian enabler and debian disk in the correct folder
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
I'LL post an uninstaller in the next hours
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
So strange... apparently you have done everything correctly. Are you using internal storage?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
Have you edited sudoers? In the correct way? Seems that you are using an untouched suoderes...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] starrwulfe:
Is it possible to screenshot/video capture the install process?

I can do it when my atrix later this week :nod:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XxKILLx3RxX:
Are my directories correct? They look like this:

sdcard/DEBIAN/debian

sdcard/DEBIAN/debian.png

sdcard/DEBIAN/root/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
It's correct..

Installation with CWM succeeded?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
- added uninstaller for version >= 0.2 http://www.multiupload.com/GLKUZA2KP9

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mentalcase:
I'm having the same issue with it asking for an adas password. I went through the process just pressing enter. No new icons have showed up and the existing ones have stopped working. Any tips before i uninstall and try again?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
try replacing sudoers with the one inside easy-signed.zip or install directly easy-signed.zip
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mentalcase:
Already flashed the zip through CWM. Maybe something went wrong. I'll have to try again tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gusbeto37:
I have 2.3.4 and with the CWM of the unlocked bootloader, I get an error and says stalllation aborted just after it says Installing update...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
Okay, did everything as stated above, however running into, probably my first problem. I have downloaded and unpacked the linuxdisk to /sdcard-etc/WebTopMOD/, so it shows /sdcard-etc/WebTopMOD/linuxdisk.

What is adb push by the way?

I downloaded the easy-signed.zip and put it on the external sdcard as well. Rebooted into CWM and tried installing easy-signed.

Then I get back the following:

And there it stays stuck on "Installing update...", maybe I am to impatient, but it's taking now over 15 minutes and as far as I can tell, it's not doing anything?

I hardly have any Linux experience, so I really am in the dark here. Is someone willing to help me out?

I am running Gingerblur and phone is a de-rooted AT&T Atrix 4G.

Thanks in advance...!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
I am really new to linux and the Artix, but i can tell you it should only take a few second to install. I myself had to revert back to the previous easy-signed, cause the new one always error out. also ive found that my 16g sd card SUCKS for launching this and ended up putting in my int sd, ehh only 4g right!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] makr8100:
I'm not sure why apt-get doesn't work on the 4GB image, it still works fine for me on my 3GB image. Also you don't have to pick 4GB, you can adjust the size to whatever you want. You might try installing Debian on an old desktop or laptop computer, or a VM, so you can test it more thoroughly. You can even install multiple WM's on 1 Linux install, but I wouldn't recommend it on the Atrix, hence testing on a different system.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
Hello everybody!

I installed and everything is ok. But I have a question: Is there any way to automatically start the xfce 4, instead of having to type the command every time I want to run it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
now im getting a strange error.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
I'am a dumb, sorry :(

0.2.5.1b: http://www.multiupload.com/ZAPZW2XX45

This version should work for everyone, 2.3.4 users too (but it's not tested)

A lot of fixes and a new debian disk are coming, I need a faster internet connection to upload. At 20.00 [GMT +2:00] I'll upload the new image.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
Hi SystemR89!

Thanks for the update. Will this also fix my issue? It keeps stuck on Installing package...

...or maybe it's better to wait for the new version all together??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
Yes, this update should fix your issue. However keep in mind that you should replace linuxdisk with the newest one if you would install the next version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
Okay thanks for the quick reply. What would you recommend? Install this version, or the updated one, once you release it?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
If you want you can install the current version and test it, remember that all your modification to linuxdisk (mainly installed application) will be lost.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
Okay, thanks I understand. Maybe it's wise to start with this and see how things work and later on I can install the new version.

Just to make sure; if I install this version (with the updated easy-signed.zip). I will only have to replace the linuxdisk when the new version is released, nothing else?

Or do I have to use the uninstaller and then reinstall with the new linuxdisk and easy-signed.zip?

Sorry for all those questions; but better safe than sorry, right? :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
No, you have to flash the newer version thought CWM another time and replace linuxdisk. As the first installation!

You can upgrade without use the uninstaller.

Yes, don't worry!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
Okay thank you very much. Everything is clear now! :)

I will try it tonight, currently at work and I forgot my power adapter. :(
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
v0.2.6 [2011/07/07] [14.15 GMT+2:00]

Debian disk: http://droid.makrit.net/WebTopMOD/WebTopMOD-20110707.7z

easy-signed: http://droid.makrit.net/software/atrix/easy_v0.2.6.zip-signed.zip

EASY:

- binded in chroot tmp folders

- correct typo in missing disk message

- changed umount function (should works fine now!)

- added linuxdisk check (0 size, is a file)

- 2.3.4 compatibility

- cleaned mount function

LINUXDISK:

- added pdmenu and menu

- added device etc mountpoint in /mnt/DEVICE/etc

- dynamic change of resolv.conf (thanks to krkeegan)

- linuxdisk now is ~4gb (4095MB)

- added device etc mountpoint in /mnt/DEVICE/usr

- added plugins folder symlink to use flash player or other plugins between browser (inside and outside chroot) (FLASH DOESN'T WORK YET)

To upgrade you should install as the first time (download debian disk and install zip via cwm). No need to uninstall the previous version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
Wow you are really fast! :D

I am going to test this version tonight! * excited *
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
Wow this works perfectly. It's even better than I thought. What apps and tools are recommended on Debian? Any good movie players and I need an app with which I can connect to my work PC with VNC.

Keyboard does need getting used to...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pederb:
Cool,

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
There are many VNC viewer that you could use, remmina for example is a good vnc/rdp client but it has a lot of dependencies.

Currently I've some problem to get working video HW acceleration and audio output so you can't use a video player inside Debian. Not yet :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] HHawk:
I already managed to install VNCviewer and VLC Player. This was before your post. :)

Oh well doesn't matter, I am experimenting a bit anyways. If there comes out a new version of Debian, by your hand, than I will just run the uninstaller and do it all again with the new version. Probably the best way, right?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pederb:
The new version works great with GB

Good job

[Atrix 4G Android Development] MattHouston:
Help help help!

Hello there,

Newbi here.

I've tried so much to get this fantastic work that you've all done working on my LapDock but it still doesn't work :(

Does anyone have a Linux Disk with the standard apps on it e.g. OpenOffice, etc so that I can just flash it without having to access the terminal?

Thanks again all.

Matt.

Is there any way to start with XFCE4 automatically?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rredlin:
Awesome mod, thanks a ton!

i got some questions.....

Does this work? I wasn't able to get it to,

Code:

$ cd sdcard(-ext)

$ cd WebTopMOD

$ su

# e2fsck -f linuxdisk

# resize2fs linuxdisk 4g

This resizes it to 4GB, guess which line controls how big it gets? Also you can run this command from a Linux box prior to putting the image on your sdcard.

Thanks.

And how would I use this? I didn't really get it ether,

4gb:

Code:

dd bs=1024 count=1 seek=$((1024*1024*4-1)) if=/dev/zero of=debian

Never Mind... just re-read your post, a lil slower this time..

- linuxdisk now is ~4gb (4095MB)

thanks

WebTop Problems

Hello and thanks for the prompt reply. I have the tux bar, the penguin as well as the leafpad as I've just installed the 2.6_EasyInstall.

When I go into terminal and try to use apt-get to install anything it tells me that I'm not at root level. Is there a version of the EasyInstall that has a way of including the essential linux apps e.g. OpenOffice etc?

Thanks so much again in advance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SystemR89:
Probably is enough an upgrade without uninstallation. I'll let you know every time that I publish a new version.

Ifyou read the older page of this thread someone has achieved this result. However I not advice you to run a full desktop over a chrooted enviroment, it isn't projected with this in mind.

Try to reinstall the zip file. It give you some error? You should get a bar with three new icons: leafpad, lxterminal, tux

This is a well know mtab bug. A simple fix is run in lxterminal (webtop root):

sudo rm /etc/mtab~

DON'T FORGET ~ !

You shouldn't open lxterminal to use apt-get but you have to click on penguin, select bash in application->shell menu and, then, use apt.
