Re: [maemo-developers] Best IDE for maemo development?
For the people that develops often on maemo, what IDE/set of tools have youfound to be essential to this task? Since I'm travelling, without a laptop, I find it handy to have everything inside my Nokia.I usually log in from a desktop over ssh, open up GNU screen and jmacs and starthacking. I only did stuff in Python however. Last couple of days I also did some developing without a desktop near, but that wasquite masochistic considering the Nokia's input methods... I really have to find myselfa Bluetooth keyboard... -- http://industree.org/guaka/blog ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] MaemoDict deb file
I created a Debian package for MaemoDict. To use it you also need to put some dicts somewhere.

[maemo-developers] Memory card corrupted or unformatted
Somehow some files got mixed up on my memory card. I copied them to a laptop. And then I was looking for where I can reformat the card. But I can't find it. Neither did the mkfs.vfat incantation have the proper effects. I guess it made it worse, since I did that before making an imagedump. The N770 keeps on complaining "Memory card corrupted or unformatted" and I can't find out how to format it on the Nokia. What can I do to use it again? And, what would be the right mkfs.vfat incantation?

Later I found the format thing in the File manager's menu. I didn't expect it to be there. I guess it'd be nice to also add it to the context menu of the memory card. Or simply ask the question "Do you want to format the memory card now?", after the first time the device finds out the card is "unformatted or corrupted". ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] Re: uffff
Sending this to maemo-developers, maybe someone there knows more about how to tackle this issue. Now my feeling is that it is definitely python-related, coz' last night I made one more experiment, installing the following things on a fresh German machine (who knows...!) 1. ossoXterm, FBReader, PSWDSafe, Nano, Plucker (everything through the Application install tool in a ROW), 2. then: python (for-do-dpkg -X), and (libgpgpe*.lib by using for-do-dpkg in Xterm) 3. sqlite (by install tool) => Paket nicht kompatible! So the thing happens I think when installing whatever which is Python-related!!! I think the dpkg -X is the culprit... AFTER this case the install tool works no more, but dpkg -X package /var/lib/install still does his job - putting the links even into the menu (!!!) - but not listing the apps we install in this way in the 'Application Installer' dpkg -X is just installing by force, into the specified directory, without bothering about the package information... I know you are getting tired with it, but still, if you 'd have any idea what to do in a different way, pls let me know! Not getting tired of it. Just wanna get it solved! Got this from Igor Tkach: / $ app-installer-tool install /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb dpkg-deb: failed to create directory: Permission denied dpkg: error processing /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb (--install): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb failed Installation of /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb failed, removing package maemodict. dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove maemodict which isn't installed.

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: uffff
> I know > app-installer-tool is suppsed to run as user, It is actually supposed to run as the user "install", like so Aha.. What about ownership in /var/lib/install? > but I tend to always use it as root. That might leave files behind that can not be modified by the "install" user, and thus can break the Application installer. So I noticed. However, there is no problem when only using commandline all the time :) I guess app-installer-tool should actually be smart, and switch to user install if it's running as root... But that still leaves the question. Is there something wrong with my maemodict package or do people encounter other problems? In the first case: what's wrong? In the latter, how do people avoid running into these problems? ciao, Kasper ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: [maemo-developers] Re: uffff
- is there a way to rescue the 'App installer' functionslity after installing sthng as root, and damaging the App. installer? Probably, but I don't know exactly how. is sudo gainroot and dpkg -X xxx.deb /var/lib/install a good way to install further things? Are those further installations safe? It's definitely not ideal.

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: uffff
Yeees, but app-installer tool was primarily meant to be invoked by the osso-application-installer via sudo. It was kind of unanticipated that people are using it from the command line so much. I actually only created app-installer-tool so that I could use sudo to do the user switching It's convenient to copy an URL on a desktop and wget and install the package inside an ssh session on the Nokia. (not trusting myself to get it right when app-installer-tool is setuid and does the user switching itself). Why not? Just try, and post it here, I guess someone will yell if it's not right. :) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] Re: [fbreader] ZBedic integration
I hope, the next release will contain same feature for Nokia 770 -- with maemodict. (Btw, does mamodict work on Maemo 2.0?) My laptop is still lost in transit :( So I'm trying to get myself to directly do stuff on the N770. Which sucks. I am getting closer to getting MaemoDict to run on Maemo 2.0. But it seems that the binary dictd I'm using is not working. Probably due to arm/armel differences. I haven't even been lurking on maemo-developers. I did a quick search but couldn't find useful information. When I try to start /usr/bin/dictd I get: /bin/sh: /usr/bin/dictd: not found dictd is simply taken from the Debian package for the arm architecture. That is probably the problem here. Is it somehow easy to get dictd for armel? I guess it can be done easily inside a scratchbox environment. But not by me, I don't have my own laptop. I can sort of use some MacBook, but no chance of installing a free operating system on it. Kasper P.S. Anyone knows where I can buy a small and easy laptop without Windows or other proprietary OS? Cheap, and preferably from a store in NYC (or Philly, or on the way West). ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: [maemo-developers] dictd and MaemoDict
> Try the one from http://mg.pov.lt/770 (mistral, user). I just built it, > haven't tested it. Now I've tested dict (but not dictd). It works, most of the time. Once I got this error: ~ $ dict snake *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x4015 *** but I repeated the command and it worked. Strange. Finally got a laptop again. (My old one is still lost in transit.) Unfortunately I didn't get the wireless thing working under GNU/Linux yet. Since internet is more important, I can't use scratchbox yet. dictd is working. More or less. It actually only works correctly when I do a -d nodetach. I don't know why this happens. But it's good enough for now. I actually have something working right now. Maybe the dictd package should not start the server (e.g. mv S20dictd K20dictd)? That way MaemoDict can simply depend on it without resources being wasted when MaemoDict is not running. It would also be really cool to have Debian's dict-* packages in some maemo repository. Later on I will try to create some dict-wikipedia and dict-wiktionary packages. Now I'm going to check if creating packages is still possible on the N770 itself. Also, could someone could create an armel version of GNU screen and slocate? That would be very helpful for developing. Especially since I'm doing it directly on the N770.
