I am no expert at all, but I thought that if the 70 is 'hidden' behind a hub, that the flasher program cannot identify the correct device to flash. But that explanation might be total bullshit on the other side. :-) Spaetz ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] flasher and USB hubs
Hello, I read on the wiki, that I should flash the 770 without any USB hub in between the computer and the 770 itself. If have seen other devices which did not work on USB hubs (e.g. a bluetooth dongle). I am curious what are the reasons for the 770 not working with USB hubs (at least when flushed)? Is it the timing impact of the USB hub?

[maemo-developers] Channel locking in Kismet
I notice that the WLAN driver, or the 'Nokia700' (sic) source in Kismet, seems to ignore channel locking. If I try to lock on to a particular network's channel, I still get packets coming in from two different networks on two different channels. Is this setting being ignored or am I missing something here? Kudos to the Kismet guys for getting it working on the 770, though. -- Andrew Barr | http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/~andrew/ "Buzzword detected (core dumped)" -- seen on linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] Conclusions from the constantly rebooting issue
Hello, I recently got my 770, upgraded to the OS2006 image and tried for two days several things, among them integration into a bluetooth piconet, gizmo, installing dropbear, fbreader, setting up email, my mailserver to support the 770 supported send protocols, and minor apps. I was about to try video encoding for the 770, gaim, and setting up backup when I hit the "constantly rebooting issue". Now I am waiting for my new USB dke-2 cable which I lost :-( I decided to flash the 770 and start over again, not an uncommon or unpleasant thing for a device I am new to, as long I do not have to do that frequently, preferably I would have to do at most one more :-) I though, I share my thoughts what to do, maybe a developer or a more experienced user, can help to avoid mistakes and save me one or more flash cycles. 1.To integrate the 770 into a bluetooth piconet, I need to load the bnep kernel module, start pand, and run udhcpc. I need root access for that. 2. I install Osso Xterm (from http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/) and dropbear ssh. Is that the xterm flavour which broke the 770 during the maemo launcher upgrade? 3. Enable root access as described in http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot2 I go for a passwordless su entry in sudoers, I was somewhat scared of "Note that if you require a password to become sudo, some built-in apps (notably Application Manager) will appear to not load while they wait silently in the background for the password to be entered." because I do not fully understand what is meant. Could this affect Application Manager when started from the GUI for example? 4. I would add some repositories in sources list. I think repositories are a good thing as long as they are well maintained. I prefer a repository per app, or a preferences mechanism, like backports has. On the other hand, if the repositories are purely well tested and interfer with system packages, I don't want to have them. I want to add http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/ to sources.list to see updates for the osso term, if available. The version I used, handwriting recognition did not work well, though not sure which version this was. Also I saw, it has gaim. The FBreader repository was broken, when I tried last time (probably Packages file not uptodate): http://only.mawhrin.net/fbreader/maemo/ Is there anybody who could fix that? I think I saw the maemo-launcher and gstreamer updates from http://repository.maemo.org/ What are the updates good for? People report the gstreamer update is working again and if I understand correctly, the maemo-launcher update would work, when applied with the red pill mode within the application manager. I tend to leave that one away, given the warning in http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationRepositories 5. In understood that application manager updates only user applications. One thing which is completely unclear to me is, how does Nokia provide system updates in case of serious bugs in the system? 6. There is no repository for gizmo, so manually install that one 7. I assmue extending the root file system as described in http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ExtendedRootFilesystem can be done at any time later. Any thoughts on the impact on life expancy? 8. On a PC based system, it is sometimes handy to be able to boot the system from a clean CD and fix whatever is broken in the normal system. Would booting the root device from mmc as described http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_BootRootFSFromMMC help here?

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: rebooting constantly after upgrading packages
Hi, I tried the red pill mode and noticed that a new version of gst-plugins-farsight was available. I installed it, and now everything works perfect again! Thanks very much for updating the broken package :) Greets. On 9/2/06, Laurent GUERBY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Fri, 2006-09-01 at 14:56 +0300, Marius Vollmer wrote: > ext Álvaro J.

(and also appropriately embarrassed). :) For the record I was hit too and hopefully found help on #maemo so I could get out of the reboot cycles. I did not realize that the application manager wasn't doing the same things as apt-get upgrade until too late. When the mistral repositories are fixed, what's the best course, apt-get upgrade again? (I do it through ssh from my regular PC.) Thanks in advance, Laurent -- (:===:) Alvaro J.
