hey guys, has anyone mapped a right click to something useable? maybe a hardware button or double-clicking?
or maybe know of a program like xev that can tell me the names of the buttons. As of right now, maybe i`m doing something wrong but i cant see to get xev or its dependecies to build.

thanks

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Varemenos', 'h')eh, i installed gdm and activated it in the daemons.
but i didnt remember gdm doesnt have an onscreen keyboard (since i dont have one).

and now im stuck :lol:


Anyone know what to mount or which path to visit to find arch-root? i was hoping to remove gdm from daemons by editing it via novaterm.


nvm found it.
went to the installation guide and found my way back to:

Ssh server is running by default, so all you has to do was ssh in from a computer on your network:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ssh linux@IP')
with linux as your password(unless you have changed the defaults). Once you are logged in, simply use nano or vim to fix your issues and then su to root to reboot.

I just compiled and installed razor-qt (using yaourt and changing in the pkg arch=('armv7h') instead of i686) and it works really fast and stable too. :D

Is not very different as how the classic gnome feels, i'm now compiling maliit to try if its a better keyboard that the one that we use now.

With gnome and e17 I had a lot of system reboots but with razor it has been up for an hour and counting.

Once you're happy with it would you post it for others to try?

i still didnt manage to switch to e17 which is not that much of a problem.
On another note it seems my wifi signal is weaker in Archpad (10-15%) rather than Android (20-30%).
Also, another familiar on how to add a "Reboot to ArchLinux" option on CM7 reboot menu?

unfortunatelly i've lived all my life with windows and only couple of months ago i got into the linux (mostly debian) world, so im not familiar with most of the techniques of linux, such as repos, git, ssh, etc. Im still happy though of my epiphany to log in novaterm and fix it :P

Sure, here you have the compiled package so you can start playing with it also:

You have to install the oxygen-icons but it's already on the repos.

Well you can easily just use putty. The application is really simple to use. Just download it from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

After downloading, use this tutorial to connect: http://unixwiz.net/techtips/putty-openssh.html
