[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Problems launching maemo

[From: Ulrich Hoffmann]

Hi Jaap,

	I also just went through the process of installation Maemo
following the tutorial and also saw the problems you describe:

> touch: cannot touch `/home/haitsma/MyDocs/foo.txt': No such file or 
> directory
> touch: cannot touch `/home/haitsma/MyDocs/.videos/video1.mpg': No such 
> file or directory
...
> touch: cannot touch `/home/haitsma/MyDocs/.images/image1.png': No such 
> file or directory
> touch: cannot touch `/home/haitsma/MyDocs/.images/image2.jpg': No such 
> file or directory

Those went away as soon as I created the directories MyDocs, 
MyDocs/.videos, MyDocs/.sounds,
MyDocs/.documents and MyDocs/.images in my scratchroot sbox-SDK_PC 
environment.

I see these as well, when I display via Xnest as described in the 
tutorial. [Could this be the
already described color-depth problem?]
Although I can see something in the Xnest Window, the whole thing is 
not operational and
the screen goes dark as soon as I click something.

However - when using output via Xvnc as described in a previous message
all works fine.
Using VNC is ok for me. I'm using an iMac as X-Terminal-front-end of my
Linux (Debian Sarge) box and although it has a an X-Server running and
I'm using it for numerous GTK-applications, it's on a second machine
anyway and using VNC is just fine.

I tried to use Xephyr but hey - I got lost searching for a stand-alone 
tarball with the sources.
I wouldn't like to pry the correct sources out of the freedesktop.org 
CVS.

Maybe you try the vnc-approach to confirm everything else is running 
fine.
