The next version of Tweakeee is released. Granted this release isn’t a large as 0.3 was, there are still lots of improvements and added software. Fixed some of the scripts used as well as updated the lid_toggle script to be alot more responsive. For all changes read the Features/Changes below.

Feature Updates/Fixes:

• Updated eeeWeather to 0.57. Added toggle checkbox to correspond to the -t flag. weather.dat also updated to the lastest ICAO txt file (April 8th).
• Changed addparcel.py to not use sudo, this means that simpleui.rc will remain chowned by user and not use root. This allows it to play nicely with emeditor.
• Fixed the Enable ShowStartMenu button. In 0.3 it always restarts IceWM even if no settings are changed.
• Install Stardict, and add dictionaries with ease by using file chooser dialog.
• Improved the Lid Toggle shell script. It was often very slow to actually perform the lidbtn.sh update after choosing an option (up to 20 seconds).
• Removed toggling webcam on and off. (I would prefer to use eeecamtray but I had issues with it, so I will have to omit it for the time being).
• Added install for Digikam
• Added install for EMEditor
• Added install for Google Earth w/fix
• Added install for SuperTux
• Added install for GnoCHM
• Added install for Firefox 3 Beta 5
• Added install for EEEControl
• Added install for GPRS Config Utility
• Added install for MS Core Fonts
• Added install for basKet
• Added install for Gweled

Installation Instructions

If you are upgrading from previous version, don’t worry about removing it. Proceed with the new installation as if you never had an older version. The installer will do everything necessary.
**NOTE: If you are running a 2G Surf it by default doesn’t come with python-gtk2 (the GUI environment). Luckily this is already located on the official asus eeepc repos so installing it is simple. Follow my steps above and you should get the package no problem.

First Method:

• Download the deb file to My Documents, or wherever your default download directory goes.
• Once downloaded, open up File Manager ( Work tab, File Manager )
• Then go into My Documents Folder, and you should see the deb file. Right click the file and near the bottom of the popup options you should see ‘Install Deb….’ Choose that option, and it should prompt you for an administrator password.
• Enter the administrator password and then it will install. During this time just be patient, a window will popup saying you need to restart. Just click ok, and CONTINUE WAITING. A Second window will eventually popup saying it has completed. Now you can reboot.
• To run the program, you can either type in a terminal tweakeee or in the Settings tab there should be an icon for TweakEEE

Second Method

• Open a terminal (Ctrl + alt + t)
• Enter the command wget http://www.infinitedesigns.org/eeepc/tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb
• Next enter the command chmod +x tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb
• Finally Enter this command to start the installation sudo dpkg -i tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb
• To run the program, you can either type in a terminal tweakeee or in the Settings tab there should be an icon for TweakEEE

FAQ: TweakEEE Isn’t Opening after I install

If you are one of those 2G or European owners, (and even non North American perhaps, hard to keep track of which EEE’s sold in which regions are bundled with what software and libraries) and you install TweakEEE and then execute the program but nothing happens, then you will have to follow these steps.

• Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t)
• Enter the command fix_tweakeee
• Make sure you have an internet connection before starting. It will ask you for a secret word. The secret word is tweak
• Now it will wget some deb packages from the official asus xandros repos. Let it do it’s magic. It will say you can start tweakeee when done
• When it is done, either click the tweakeee icon in Settings or enter the command tweakeee

Known Issues:

• When using the install and add icon buttons in software tab, sometimes if the main window loses focus, it will still open but everything is greyed out. The program is running fine, I find that clicking in the upper left corner of the TweakEEE window to “activate” the open file combo box will re-focus the main window. This has to do with the threading of the secondary dialog box popup.

Thanks:
A Thanks goes out to eeeuser community. If it weren’t for them this program would have never been made. Also a special thanks goes out to SublimePorte of eeeuser community. Another Thanks to Zinni from ZinniDesigns, who created a nice looking Theme package which is used in the program (beta version 0.2+). And I can’t forget active members of the eeeuser community (Niel [Both of them, forgot there were two], lordfish, anthondya, username) and anybody else who helps me debug TweakEEE. Forgive me if I’ve forgotten your name, it wasn’t intentional, I was just writing this quickly.
