New minimo 0.16.4-1 maemo-port available featuring:

$ cat debian/changelog
minimo (0.16.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

* improvements on softkb interaction (thanks to tim).
* arm and i386 repositories set at home.ufam.edu.br/~agan (thanks to rbelem).

Disclaimer:
  1. VKB Thumb mode and handwriting recognition support were not tested/implemented so far
  2. VKB will jump up only if minimo got started up after connection is up.
  3. Some secure sites failed to loggin maybe due to some parameters not being passed in uri, broken submit methods ??.
  4. Flash plugin is not supposed to work.
  5. Most of preferences not implemented yet for linux.
Installing from command line:
  • "gainroot"
  • $ echo "deb http://home.ufam.edu.br/~agan/minimo/ binary-arm/ " >> /etc/apt/source.list
  • $ apt-get update && aptitude minimo
or via AppManager
  • Add this entry into "new catalogue":
    • web address: http://home.ufam.edu.br/~agan/minimo/
    • Distribution: binary-arm/
    • Components: n/a
  • Refresh list
  • Install new applications
    • pick minimo up.
Future work:
  1. Fix security site browsing
  2. Fix 'go' button
  3. ZoomIN press crashes it.
  4. Autocomplete "suckage"

You need a trailing slash:

Is the libxt problem solved?

Antonio said...

yeap, luis.

if you install it from setting up repository (via application manager), it'll also pull/download and install libxt, libice and libsm if it's need.

Thanks for making this port - so far, it is working great!

Can't get minimo to install. Error mesage says prerequisite packages are missing. I see that these are libs libxt6, libice6 and libsm6. The ones available on the site will not install on my 770 (os version 1.2006.26-8) due to incompatibility.

:(

humm,

are you running the last public maemo 2.0 image ?

Tomaz Noleto said...

It seems he is not. We are on week 34 and its image is from 26! It is very likely to be only a matter of updating his software! ;) Try to use a recent image.

Hello Antonio,

Thank for you efforts on producing minimo.
I have a question. Is the minimo menu suppose to be working? Right now, it is not clickable. Thx again.
