Minor Release: TweakEEE Beta 0.4.1

[Update Oct 1, 2008] If you found this application useful then please donate. I would like to develop a TweakEEE application for the eeepc 901/1000H (atom based) linux versions, so by donating you could help me save enough for an eeepc 901/1000H. (Donate button on the right Navigation bar)[End Update]

This is a very minor release. It only has the updated repositories for the 900 series eeepc in a dropdown box.
All I added was the repositories below when the user selects 900 from the drop down box. I haven’t verified that these are the correct repositories, so if a user with the 900 could double check their sources.list file by entering in a terminal cat /etc/apt/sources.list, and let me know if everything looks okay.

Also note that Tweakeee has not been tested with the Atom based EEEPC Xandros Linux, so use it at your own risk.

This is what mine looked like. Be aware though, that the EeePC 900 is a Swedish localized version which is buggy with respect to the apt-get repo setup. But your additional repos seem to work, though.

Thank you!

The Swedish bug has been reported elsewhere; http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=37106

It looks like a folder issue, since I’m new to Debian and apt-get I will have to wait for someone to post a solution.

Error -> This is wierd and happens when eeeweather isn’t in the startup script. Let Marf know.

I just did what it told me (I’ve got the 700 repos yes)

Ok. There seems to be a slight bug with the eeeweather. Sometimes the debian will add it to the startsimple.sh and sometimes it doesn’t add it at all. I should have made tweakeee accept either method but it currently only looks to see if it exists or not.

So you can remedy this easily.

in terminal type
sudo kwrite /usr/bin/startsimple.sh
then scroll down until you find a line that looks like
networkmonitor2 -i ppp0 &
then add below it
eeeweather -g -f CMYK &
save and close the file. Then tweakeee will work fine because it can find the text in the startsimple.sh.

umm, if you click and nothing happens this means that there is an error occurring. If you could…
1. Open a terminal (Press Ctrl + Alt + t)
2. enter the command tweakeee
3. paste the error message to me here.
Also are you using a european, or 2g/4g surf? These sometimes come without some gtk libraries, in which case you can run the command fix_tweakeee in the terminal. The secret word is tweak.

I’m a North American user, and can’t 0.4.1 to work on my 900. It installed once, and asked me where to put the icon. I chose settings, and I never saw the icon. I tried reinstalling, and it didn’t ask where to put the icon. I tried the fixes here, and no luck.

Any thoughts?

The more recent versions of xandros must have changed the simpleui.rc file. The program is installed, and you can simply run it by opening a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) then type tweakeee.

i want to add a icon for the toggle lid close (your icons not getting added on 900) what is the command line and i will add it via a menu editor

this is a great program are you going to update it for the new firefox or open office…

would be cool to teak system to allow install of software on sdhd cards as the eee is so tight on space . also great if you said what version of software you are installing for gimp and others.

thanks

Can you add a feature to edit the Start Menu?

Thank you. :)

Is this application also suitable to run on EEE 901?

escapedturkey, you can use a program called iceMC to edit the start menu. If you have the extra repositories (you will if you have installed anything from tweakeee) then you can.

Go to terminal and type

sudo apt-get install icemc

and then after it’s finished type

icemc

in the terminal. That should open the start menu editor.

I have installed and reinstalled this on my 2g surf again and again. I have done the fix but still get an error when I try open through the terminal. When I try in the launcher it seems to attempt to open ad then disappears.

This is the error when using the terminal even after I tried ´fix_tweakeee´.

/home/user> tweakeee
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/tweakeee”, line 4414, in ?
teee = Tweakeee()
File “/usr/bin/tweakeee”, line 4408, in __init__
self.retrieveTextBoxSettings()
File “/usr/bin/tweakeee”, line 1236, in retrieveTextBoxSettings
inputFile = open(self.constNewFilePaths[4],”r”)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/home/user/.icewm/preferences’

Thank you
