[maemo-users] Annoyances continued
Hi all, After having to reflash my 770 because it stopped booting completely, I am now fighting the next major annoyance: Whenever I tap on any link in the browser, it crashes right away. The only way to surf is opening a new window for every single link. Whenever I forget that for a single time - boom, all gone. I really don't get why all this happens - IT2006 worked like a charm until the day it stopped booting... :-( How could I possibly debug this new pain in my rear? kind regards, Fionn signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: [maemo-users] Streamtuner build 5 available with SHOUTcast support
Olivier ROLAND a écrit : For end users : Try it : https://garage.maemo.org/projects/streamtuner/ New features : * Add Shoutcast channel * Add Italian translation (Thanks to Fabio Viola) * Add Automatic connexion Installation instructions : (1) this version need mplayer binary for nokia770 (garage version) to be present in your Documents folder. (2) you need to remove .streamtuner directory in /home/user before (or after) installation if you have installed a previous version of streamtuner. Maybe usefull for other developers : Adding SHOUTcast support on NOKIA 770 was not easy : iconv -l result is a bit disappointing No native support in maemo libc for Window-1252 =-O So i need to recompile libiconv and i use the libc plug/override mode with LD_PRELOAD hack. That's why the binary of streamtuner is three time bigger (not because of SHOUTcast plugin) Please NOKIA Team, add Window-1252 in the next release. Enjoy and stay tuned.

I had weird experiences like this that were associated with the swap file. Do you have swap enabled? If so disable it, reboot (maybe) and try again. Never did find out what was happening, I am now using a swap partition and things have been fine since. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Fwd: [maemo-users] Problems with audio-playback since IT2006 update
Hi Clemens, I don't know how it2005 behaved since I flashed it with it2006 right away. However I can confirm your experiences with mp3 playback (also streams). It often occurs when the n770 is under heavy io-load. The skips are annoying. The n770 'pleases' me with silence when listening to radio streams. Restarting the esp daemon helps: /etc/init.d/dsp-init restart (don't know if this one helps ;-) /etc/init.d/esd restart Maybe it helps to give esd a higher priority (real time) ? (don't know yet if that helps and how to do it ;-) Regards Krischan -- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -- Subject: [maemo-users] Problems with audio-playback since IT2006 update Date: Samstag, 12. August 2006 13:55 From: "Clemens Eisserer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: maemo-users Hi there, Since I updated to IT2006 audio playback is often very distorted. It happens from time to time, sometimes it goes away, sometimes I have to turn the device on/off to make it working again. It sounds more or less like MP3 at very low quality modes (32kbps or so). Has anybody else seen this behaviour, and has already a bug report filed?

Re: [maemo-users] mounting ext2
Some more words on this thread ;-) Preface I understand that a consumer product has to support the consumer de facto standard for a mmc which happens to be the vfat file system. So; that is Nokias point of view - which is okay – as long as I have the choice to use something different than vfat. One thing I don't like about vfat is its reliability. I happen to have a corrupted file system from time to time and I hate to know that I have no tools on board to repair the vfat file system. I miss fsck.vfat. I also checked for the package on the debian server and ran 'apt-get install dosfstools'. It said it had the newest version already installed. fsck.vfat seems to be missing. On a great Linux device such as the 770 I would rather like to use ext2 formatted mmc's with the same convenience as the vfat formatted ones. (The ext2 filesystem used to be the Linux de facto standard file system - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2 ;-) ) The 770 does not support ext2 or its successor ext3 by default. However the needed kernel modules are there. I will point out some steps so you can use ext2 formatted mmc's. Disclaimer Don't blame me if anything goes wrong! Unless you know what you are doing – don't do it! However; If you can't resist: make a complete backup or at least a backup from the files we are going to manipulate. Step 1) We need to load the ext2 kernel module. As root run: insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.16-omap1/ext2.ko If we want the 770 to load the module during boot up add this line at the top of '/etc/init.d/minircS'. Step 2) We don't want to manually mount the mmc when we plug it in. We change the following script instead:'/usr/sbin/mmc-mount' from #!/bin/sh mount -t vfat -o rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=2,shortname=mixed "$1" "$2" > /dev/null to #!/bin/sh mount -t ext2 -o rw "$1" "$2" > /dev/null Step 3) On your Linux desktop box format a mmc with ext2. Run as root 'mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdx1' where x is the appropriate dev. Make sure you set the permissions right in order to let the 770 default user access the mmc! [Can some Linux guru help me out here for the command line? I used the konqueror for this ;-) ] Insert the mmc and find out if it worked. Check with 'dmesg' and 'mount'. Step 4) This step is optional but recommended. One reason for using ext2, is to have the the necessary tools on the n770 in order to repair the mmc's file system. What we need is called 'fsck.ext2' As root run: 'apt-get install e2fsprogs' If your repositories are set up properly (check http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationRepositories ) you will then be able to maintain your ext2 formatted mmc. Conclusion Was it worth it? In one word: Yes! My 770 penguin feels much better since it got its 'default' file system back! And I feel saver leaving my desktop pc with the card reader behind ;-) Of course you can use ext3 also. I just don't know if there are any benefits from this. This solution is not perfect: The 'mmc-mount' script should use different commands depending on the file system used. Then using vfat mmc's would also work. So far I don't know how to do this ;-( Please let me know if it worked for you and give me some feedback!

[maemo-users] Stowaway bluetooth keyboard french layout
Title: [maemo-users] Stowaway bluetooth keyboard french layout !! deadkeys do not work There's no dead keys at all? I bought my Nokia 770 for text work, but for the first time I was stucked with Linux (maemo, of course), there's no Compose files for Locale, compose keyword doesn't work for xmodmap provided by the maemo bluetooth plugin... I even searched for some xorg file... There's the ultimate solution, build my own text editor and treat by myself the portuguese funny characters (such as ã, â, ç and so on)... But... There are thousands of good text editors, dammit! Phew... So, I am asking some help to activate dead keys, the rest is fine for me, just this annoying accent thing doesn´t work... I posted similar request to internettablettalk but looks like I am the only one suffering that... Thanks in advance for any help!
