joe - Joe's Own Editor - which has several skins including a WordStar-like one (jstar) - installed fine from the xandros repository with no files but its own installed
hnb - Heirarchical Notebook - an XML outliner - installed fine from the xandros repository with no files but its own installed
- update: the arrow keys don't work right in edit mode - this is a bug in the Debian release, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339613 (the bug is also present in the Ubuntu version) - so ...
build-essential - that is, gcc and friends, via debian - installed fine
libncurses5-dev - curses terminal support, via debian - installed fine
hnb-1.9.17.tar.gz - from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … p_id=10100
tar zxpvf hnb-1.9.17.tar.gz cd hnb-1.9.17 make make install
voila, hnb works (which also shows that gcc & friends are happy enough to build it)

My main thing so far was getting Opera running. The fit to width view is really great to prevent left-right scrolling on the small screen, plus all the other stuff I love about it. Anyway, the regular Xandros download wouldn't intall, but getting the beta of Kestral from Opera's site in tar.gz format, extracting it with the file mamnager, and running install.sh in a terminal window did work,and it seems to be working great.

Could you maybe do an idiots guide on howto instal quake 3 (or ioquake) on the eee? Q3 was/is one of my favourite games and I had it running on linux systems before. Just love to have it on the eee (with sound).

Thanks

I downloaded rubygems from ruby forge and ran 'ruby setup.rb'
then did a gem install rails and all was well.
I've got part way through this and got stuck - I've got ruby installed happily, downloaded and apparantly installed gems, but when I try to run gem commands I get
bash: gem: command not found
Going by Mac instructions for setup I'm guessing I need to put some path info somewhere, but what file needs what text? Can anyone help?

I have Scope, a serial line analyzer, installed and working with two USB-serial adapters. Scope can be found here: http://www.gumbley.me.uk/scope.html
Already had the development tools installed, downloaded scope-0.04.tar.gz, modified the configure file to set build=i686-pc-linux-gnu, host=i686-pc-linux-gnu, and target=i686-pc-linux-gnu.
> ./configure
> make
> sudo make install
> scope --help
scope v0.03 - a simple serial line analyser
(C) 1999,2000,2002 Matt J. Gumbley, matt@gumbley.demon.co.uk
http://www.gumbley.demon.co.uk/scope.html
Syntax:
scope [options]
Options:
-b<speed> Set port speed. <speed> is 300 to 115200 [19200]
-p1<port> Set rx port. <port> is something like /dev/ttyS0.
Default is /dev/ttyS0.
-p2<port> Set tx port. <port> is something like /dev/ttyS0.
Default is /dev/ttyS1.
-v Enable verbose operation
-c Enable continuous monitoring (lots of output)
This produces time frames even when data is
not present, and can help track down timing
problems, but can eat your disk.
-d Just the data, Ma'am. Don't monitor control
and status lines.
-a Animate a spinner on stderr when data is received.
Useful when redirecting to a file to see that
something is happening.
-1 Receive data on p1 only. (Mnemonic: one port only.)
-w 'str' Writes out the string on the first port before
monitoring. \r and \n are allowed (escape the \)I used scope to capture the data transfer between a PC and a receipt printer using a custom cable as defined on Matt's site.
> scope -p1/dev/ttyUSB0 -p2/dev/ttyUSB1 -b9600 > output.txt
Here's a portion of the output with timestamps.

I have installed IE4Linux (Internet Explorer for Linux) on the EE.
Following this instructions: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation
It will install Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 at least (directly from microsoft site!)
From repositories I also had to install (first) cabextract and wine.
Hope this helps. It is good for those sad pages that can only run in that old tired pony called Internet Explorer ;-)
Matias, Chile
Ps. Thanks for all the tips already!
Really? How? I tried (exactly from tatanka website) and I got the following error when I tried to run ies4linux: "Wine has exited with a failure status 1" several times.
Does anyone know what is going on?

pdftk : very useful for manipulating pdf files.
Also GUI for PDFTK linux binary: Downloaded from here and extract to somewhere. This binary needs libgdk-1.2.so.0 and libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 to run.
sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2 sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2

JBuilder 2005. Great Java IDE. Much less resource hungry than Eclipse or Netbeans though it has its own peculiarities. I do not think it is available for download anymore. I just copied an old installation directly onto a flash drive and ran it from there.

Today I installed the GO chess board program: CGoban + gnugo via synaptic and played a nice game of GO against the computer.
Installation is easy. The program shortcut CGoban shows up in the icewm start menu: Programs > Games > Board > Go (CGoban). Select "Go Modem" to play against the computer, i.e. gnugo.

Thanks for your list! It would be nice if we had a link to one place where one could download Xandros applications for other Linux apps which are compatible with Asus eeePC....I will let you know if I find one!

Thanks for the link to eeefiles.com ! I visited the Xandrox.com website, and they offer only 2 free programs--and the distribution is quite expensive.
Which VoiP , IM, and live networking programs seem to work best?
Offline
Sorry, I have none of those installed because I never use anything like that.
I have heard Pidgin is a good IM program beause it works with whatever anyone else is using but I don't think your webcam works with it.

Installing GIMP, INKSCAPE and SCRIBUS on Asus EEE PC 8G using Xandros in Easy mode
After one unsuccessful upgrading I was forced to do F9.
I had installed Gimp and Inkscape without problems, without any search for how to, just easily in Synaptic.
F9 changed situation.
I didn't remember what kind of repositories i had before, but setting up them again i had problems to find some programs ( wiki repos ).
Starting from the beginning.
1st one was GIMP.
Using Synaptic ( all repos enablad ) i got 'E: broken package and some libraries had unmet dependencies'.
Then i need to check forums and i found that it is enough to enable only one repository, not sure now which one but one of these:
tuxfamily
or
geekconnection
After this was Gimp installed - version 2.2.13.
NOTE:
It's good to use these two commands before you install desired programs.
apt-cache policy name of program
sudo apt-get -s install 'name of program'
– simulate install process it will show you informations you will need for decision if install or not. for example i had case when it showed that installing will remove some 120 other programs applications or else,some of very important, so of course i didn't want that to happen.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
2nd was INKSCAPE
For this i needed to change pinning of repositories. ( you can find more infos on wiki or forums about this subject )
In this case i add debian repository:
fi.debian.org/debian !! pinning changed to 975, after installing change back to default
and enabled
tuxfamily.org.
so i had only TWO repositories enabled.
then just: # sudo apt-get install inkscape
After these steps install was sucessful.
Inkscape version 0.44.1, built Sep 25 2006
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Last one was SCRIBUS.
For scribus i add its own repository, plus i had enabled 'xepc' + 'debian' + 'eeepc.asus' repositories.
When adding scribus repository is needed to add also key, but following scribus page on how to add key, i came to problem, it didn't find it. But found and used this command for receiving key:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EEF818CF ( this worked for me )
Simulated installing didn't show any problems or errors, however during install i got this:
'failed to fetch updates.xepc.org/pool-main/t/tk8.4/tk8.4_8.4.12-1etch1+eeepc2_i386.deb
size mismatch'
But just disabled mentioned repository – 'xepc' and installed only missing package from eeepc.asus repository ( i had only 'debian' and 'eeepc.asus' repositories available ).
Scribus version 1.3.3.13svn
That was it.
In all cases i used terminal and 'apt-get install' and of course above mentioned command from NOTE !!!
So try and report.
and also check wiki and forums or just google !!!!
