Re: [maemo-developers] Re: 802.11g Ad-Hoc Link?
It occurred to me that the fastest way to transfer data to the 770 is over an ad-hoc 54Mbps link. However, it looks to me like the WLAN driver is going into 802.11b (11 Mbps) mode... ... This is, AFAIK, purely a driver issue for modern wireless hardware. This doesn't answer your question in the least, but it may be that the reason for this limitation in the 770 is that the hardware can't effectively move data around any faster than 11Mbps. I know I've never come close to reaching that speed in my network transfers (although in fairness most of my transfers are via SSH and either read or write from/to the MMC so I'm affected by bottlenecks that may not apply to you).

Re: [maemo-developers] Frustrating power downs...
One time it was drained when I had the audio player opened. I had it play a part of an audio book and didn't bother to close the cover after it was finished, just left it lying next to my bed. The next morning it was powered off and the battery empty. This happened only once though. Keeping the audio player in 'paused' state doesn't allow power saving mode currently. That is the most likely cause for a battery drain in the above case. It will be fixed in the OS upgrade. No it was definitely not paused. It just finshed playing a mp3 file. There is also a known bug that causes power drain if you leave headphones plugged in with the audio player open. https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=383 Mike ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: [maemo-developers] Bug with GtkCellRendererToggle?
While developing an example Eagle application (http://code.gustavobarbieri.com.br/eagle/examples/vareditor.py) that uses GtkTreeView and GtkCellRendererToggle I noticed that it doesn't work as expected. There are several bugs in bugzilla about gtk widget rendering problems, one of which is blocking the most recent release of gpe-calendar. There is also at least one bug related GrkTreeView. I didn't find anything about GrkCellRendererToggle, although I didn't look very hard. Searching bugzilla for gtk is a good start. If you have confirmed a bug that isn't already reported, report it and attach a screenshot with some example code.

Re: [maemo-developers] Zapped wtmp...
There's no need to link it to anything. If the file isn't there, then logging is turned off - at least that's what should happen. Wrong, this just deletes everything that is stored prior to this. And no, what you assume is wrong. Of course the log files should be erasable, and if user deletes the log file, then the system should just start making a new one. Without addressing the question of what the behavior should be, man wtmp on my FC4 system states that logging is disabled if wtmp doesn't exist: wtmp is maintained by login(1), init(1), and some versions of getty(1). Neither of these programs creates the file, so if it is removed, record-keeping is turned off. If you've confirmed that the 770 handles things differently, that's useful information. Your tone is somewhat excessive, though, especially considering that Michael Saunby's claim is supported by at least some related documentation.

Re: [maemo-developers] Building deb packages for the Nokia 770 is very easy
Some applications do separate functionality and depend on external packages when necessary (the gpe stuff does, for example), but you should do so unnecessarily... Clearly, I meant to say that external dependencies should _not_ be used needlessly.

Re: [maemo-developers] maemo - virtual keyboard replacement and alternative input methods
Someone on #maemo told that I may just have to develop a GTK input method. This is the going rumor. To my knowledge no has has actually done any work on an alternative input, although there have been a few inquiries. I think one hitch is that it is difficult to switch back and forth between input methods on the device, and since the source isn't available for the input method used in the end-user rom you can't simply improve or extend it.

Re: [maemo-developers] intercepting magnet induced sleep mode
network connectivity is hard wired to shut down with the cover closed. Future firmware upgrades may make this more flexible. Note that there is also a bug filed against this behavior, with the proposed solution being to check for network connections before putting the interface to sleep: https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=382 Mike ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: [maemo-developers] Where can I find the sources for the load-plugin?
The authors e-mail address is on the page linked in the application catalog. I recall reading some time ago (but can't find the link now) that the load plugin was released under a very restrictive license. This may be oversight or intent on the part of the author, but you'll probably have the best luck contacting him directly. Mike Hi, the CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet alias Load-Plugin is great! http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog#head-2a148fa70a8fd181ef6b85fb568785cd31a45e02 http://koti.welho.com/jpavelek/tmp/770/ I would like to add a 'swapon/swapoff' entry to the menu of the applet, but can't find the sources. This function would be very useful for all people who are using a swap partition such as /dev/mmcblk0p2 on their RS-MMC: before you hotplug-remove the RS-MMC you would swapoff (otherwise the 770 would crash), and after hotplug-insert the RS-MMC you could swapon again. If successfull I would post a patch. But I can't find the source! Armin. -- --- May the Source be with you!

Re: [maemo-developers] Audio enabled dev-platform?
Not having any way to output audio with the current dev image makes it useless for me, and having to install the normal image and get root, xterm and ssh working on it is a tad painfull for something which I do relativly frequent. ... improving multimedia support is one of priority area. I hope we are able to push that out. Just to let you know we are working on it :) AFAIK it is mostly issues related to redistribution of the DSP side stuff (even in binary) which would enable the layer below DSPGateway. In the meantime, the pain of getting getting the production image up and running can be reduced (not eliminated) by scripting your application install list. The Syncing Apple has a post demonstrating (see the comments for how to sudo the app-installer-tool properly): http://www.dillernet.com/apple/2006/01/01/recovering-from-a-firmware-flash/ You'll still need to install xterm and flash to RD mode manually, but the script can do quite a bit after that.

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: Installing packages in extra storage?
The only problem: both 'free', '/proc/meminfo' and the little status bar plug-in all report far more memory in use than I'd expect to see. I _know_ I deleted the contents of /var/lib/install (as well as ~/MyDocs), and when I install new programs I see my memory used go up. free and meminfo measure RAM usage. Try df or the memory control panel to measure flash usage. Is there a compelling reason to reformat the card? I haven't yet, but am planning to try mounting the MMC without NOEXEC and just symlinking /var/lib/install to a directory on the VFAT partition. Am I doomed to failure?
