I found it and since OS2008 uses the same gainroot mechanism and the deb doesn't contain any binaries, just a simple sed command that short circuits the /usr/bin/gainroot script to not look for the R&D mode flag, it works like a charm. Installing the following and typing 'sudo gainroot' in a terminal worked for me to gain root access. Then I set a passwd for user and ssh'ed in using that account just fine and I can escalate privilege as needed. It may work for you too but I make no guarantees. http://eko.one.pl/maemo/dists/mistral/user/binary-armel/becomeroot_0.1-2_armel.deb /Mike ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: Is it possible to make a "well-behaved" pyGame app with maemo-python ?
Jesse, Levi, Eero, Thomas : thanks to all of you for your answers, hints and links ! All were informative and useful. I hadn't realized till now that pyGame/SDL apps were treated so specifically, and I'd been looking in all the wrong places... So, the trick with StartupWMClass in the desktop file, and setting the SDL_VIDEO_X11_WMCLASS env var solved the main problem : getting the icon in the task bar (but without the "Loading..." banner at launch). Phew ! However, I have been unable to adapt the mClock example for the service file successfully. As soon as I reference the X-Osso-Service value in the desktop file, I get a lengthy "Loading..." banner and nothing else, even though I call osso.Context() early in my code. I must be missing something still... Also, I've noticed that when pressing the Home button, in the task list the app has the correct icon by is listed as "unknown", although the code does call pygame.display.set_caption(). Is there a hack for this too ? Thanks in advance for any further hints, fp ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

The situation is probably well-explained there (?). Ah yes, this does indeed sound slightly familiar back from the 1.0 days. Maybe a proper testing program is in order then. I might take a look at this later if I have spare time. If the syscall is wrapped, then yes, it would make things slightly difficult, but I'm wondering whether there's a simple way to avoid that even in that case. ak. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: web based local application GUIs
The network behavior on the tablet is really weird. When I connect to a bluetooth network with PAN, non-Nokia applications have no problem accessing the net. But the webbrowser still insists that there's no connection available. If I startup an adhoc wifi connection at the same time, Nokia applications can use the bluetooth network.

Looking for npapi microb-engine header files
Hi. I would like to port an existing mozilla plugin to the microb browser on the N800 running the latest OS2007. The whitepaper on the microb-engine available at browser.garage.maemo.org doesn't say much about their implementation of NPAPI and NPRuntime. Where could I get the set of header files, specific to the microb-engine on the n800 that I need to include in my plugin code? I am referring to the header files that we normally find in the gecko-sdk, such as npapi.h and npupp.h. Also, once I manage to compile the plugin as a shared object, how can I register it in the browser ? e.g. Can I install it with xpi from the browser? Can I place it in user's home directory under .mozilla/plugins/ or something similar ?
