Re: N800 Locking up regularly, even after reimage
Am 10.03.2011 02:22, schrieb David Hagood: I have a N800 that locks up on a far too regular basis, even though I've reflashed it several times. I normally run with root on the internal SDHC card, to save wear and tear on the internal flash& to have a larger rootfs to install more stuff. Having root on the card may be something to do with it. I've noticed that after startup there's a significant delay before the cards are actually mounted and available. I have a MySQL database which keeps its data files on the card. If I configure the startup script to start it at boot (like any other service in /etc/init.d) it will always fail because at that point the files aren't available to it. So I had to change the startup scripts to wait until the filesystem was actually mounted before actually trying to start the DBMS. I'd suggest trying again with the normal root instead. If you need more space there for installs, you could always move some stuff to the card and they symlink it from root. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England www.beermad.org.uk/ www.suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/ * No Micro$oft products were used in the generation of this communication ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Anybody who has Ogg-support may have noticed that their Ogg-Vorbis files no longer appear in the media player (though it can still play them if they're in a playlist). Bug 11511 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11511) refers to this. The answer is to unistall and reinstall Ogg-support, though annoyingly both Mappero and Extra decoders support are dependent on Ogg-support, so they also need to be taken off and reinstalled. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England www.beermad.org.uk/ www.suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/ * No Micro$oft products were used in the generation of this communication ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Rsync isn't installed as part of the standard build, but needs to be installed from the repositories (Extras, I think).

Why I can't see any word in the dictionary? I think you got the wrong format. You seem to have xdxf format rather than stardict, which has a .dz file extension. I just pulled an English/Brazilian Portugese Stardict format dictionary down and loaded it - worked fine. The one sneaky bit is that when you've installed the right files, you need to enable the dictionary in the dictionaries menu.

What I'm struggling to work out is why some events apparently ARE in the agenda but others aren't.

Re: Nokia device usage
> I am curious to find out what people use their Nokias for. If anyone > could share their usage patterns, it would be appreciated. For me it would never replace my desktop computer, but being a handy pocketable Linux computer means it's possible to run some applications when I'm out and about. That was the reason I ported Apache and MySQL to it, so I can carry around copies of a couple of my websites - in particular Beermad, where I can make notes about beers and breweries on my N800 and have them automatically picked up and published on the live website when I get home and it connects to my wireless network. I also use it as an MP3 player, though this has both advantages and disadvantages. Battery life is a lot shorter than it would be with a dedicated MP3 player, but having one would mean an extra thing in my pockets and it probably wouldn't be able to play the files I have in Ogg Vorbis and Flac format. As an E-book reader it's excellent. Means I have hundreds of books with me wherever I go and I don't even need a light on to read. And as I'm currently reading Anna Karenina, it's a hell of a lot lighter than the book would be. The standard Internet stuff isn't of much use most of the time, but when I'm travelling it's useful if I can pick up a WiFi connection to send/receive emails and use the web for things like checking up-to-date travel details. When I was on holiday in Tilburg, I wouldn't have known that the Dutch railway had cancelled all the services on the line I was planning to use to get to Schiphol Airport if I hadn't checked their website. And that meant I could work out a working route to catch my plane on time. Oh, and I get lots of geek points impressing people by being able to play videos on it... -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk/ http://www.suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/ * No Micro$oft products were used in the generation of this communication ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I'd suggest getting some debug output on the target machine to see if that shows up anything helpful. kill the sshd daemon then run "sshd -d". then try again and see what comes out (don't forget it only runs once in debug mode, so you'll need to restart it normally afterwards).

I reckon this is because there's some Javascript chundering away in the background on whatever page you've got loaded. I had a similar problem when I added a news-ticker to my Beermad site. Because I have a local copy of the site running on my N800, the news-ticker ran all night after I'd finished using the tablet. Or at least for as much of the night as it took to run the battery down. I don't think this is a bug in the browser as such, more a side-effect of the CPU used by Javascript on a device with limited battery life. The only answer I could see on the browser side might be if it stopped running embedded Javascript when the device was locked (or perhaps when the display had timed out). But then other people might have a reason why they need it to keep on running. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk/ http://www.suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/ * No Micro$oft products were used in the generation of this communication ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Is it possible to digitally sign messages sent with Modest?

It would be handy to have the option of defining an account that COULD receive messages with the option of disabling receiving in the setup (a simple checkbox, "enabled" or "disabled", for example.) Normally I want incoming emails to go to my desktop machine and just have the option of sending the odd message from my N800. But when I'm away on holiday, for example, it would be useful to pick up messages so I don't have to wait until I get home. In fact, something like Kmail has would work well.

It was the sudden reduction in how much of the form I was filling in I could see that immediately struck me.

Browser location field showing when I click on a text input field
For some strange reason, my N800's on-screen keyboard has started acting strangely. When I click on a text input field in the browser, the keyboard pops up, as it should but now the location field (where you can type a URL to go somewhere) and its associated buttons is appearing at the top of the keyboard as if I'd clicked on the location field, whereas it used to just be replaced by the keyboard. This means I've got even less usable screen area :-( Obviously I've managed to change a setting somewhere, but I can't work it out. Has anybody come across this problem?

FM Radio broken after re-flash
I had to re-flash my N800 because (I think) the GPE Calendar applet was causing it to go into a reboot loop. Since re-flashing and re-installing everything, all my apps are working except the FM radio. Initially it was complaining about being unable to access /dev/radio0, which is owned by root and only accessible to users in the video group, but this seems to have been fixed by purging the package and re-installing it, but I'm still getting no sound out of it. Audio works fine from other apps, such as the media player. Running /usr/bin/fmradio from the command-line gets the following output: snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied fmradio[1333]: GLIB DEBUG default - dbus call force_loudspeaker_off sucsess snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied fmradio[1333]: GLIB DEBUG default - Set volume failed snd_hctl_open(master) failed: Permission denied Suggesting something to do with snd_hctl, which I can find no reference to on the Maemo site (amazingly, Google only returns a single entry for snd_hctl!)

If the package is just removed (dpkg -r "packagename"), configuration files are left in place. If the package is subsequently re-installed, dpkg assumes those files will still be there so doesn't re-install them. To be certain that the next re-install will definitely install config files you need to purge the package (dpkg -P "packagename"). I don't know for certain which option the application manager uses, but I have a feeling it's only remove rather than purge. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.

It certainly sounds like it's doing a lot of work. I've found that some applications hammer the battery just because they're loaded, even if they aren't apparently doing anything; the Ogg Vorbis player being a case in point.

If you're lucky, it might be available from the Mamo Garage (http://garage.maemo.org) - at least if developers are hosting the files there like I am with my ports. Failing that, you should be able to track the file down, albeit with a bit of fiddling about, by looking in the install file. If you point a browser at the value given in the line starting "uri" there's a chance you'll find a small number of directories under that location. Hunt through those and you should find the file. There's probably an easy way to predict where to go, but I don't understand the structure enough to say what it is. > > Regarding the touch screen: I have the newest version of OS2008 on my > N800, and there definitely are issues with the accuracy.

Annoyingly, it seems most keen on them in password fields where they're instantly replaced by stars, so you can't see whether or not it's happened. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.

I tried Fennec earlier today and unfortunately I found it an even bigger memory-hog than the current browser. In fact it actually managed to top 100%, which could have been entertaining without a swap-file. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.

Web-browser memory consumption on OS2008
Has anybody else noticed that the web browser seems to take an awful lot of memory up on OS2008? Running "top" shows the browser process usually using more than 85% of memory, frequently well over 90%. Not that I've any idea what it used on OS2007, as I don't think I ever looked. But it seems rather excessive - any suggestions as to how to reduce the footprint? As I'm using the browser to display pages from the on-board Apache server, built from the on-board MySQL database, I must be swapping an awful lot... -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.

The main problem with apps that haven't been "released" for OS2008 is the install file you get when you click on the icon on the Maemo site. That checks the OS version and chokes if it's wrong. You'll find a lot of apps can be installed by going straight to the .deb file instead. It took me a while to get round to putting MySQL and Apache on the repository because I'd just installed from my own builds and hadn't noticed that I needed a new install file. -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk http://no2id-ip.web-brewer.co.uk ** This message is digitally signed.
