 Hi all list,
 
 (It's my first post and my english is getting rusty, I am from Barcelona)
 I'd like to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver for my N800, my friend recommend me a
 i-blue gps receiver -- http://www.iternet.com.tw/b-gps/ps3200-f.htm
 This one is with technology Nemerix and not with SiRF III.
 What do you think?
 Which one do you recommend me for N800?

Globalsat BT-359 bluetooth works for my N800, don't
know if it's best in sensitivity as it's the first
GPS I own. Very long battery life (much more than the N800) 
and charge through USB cable.

PhoneLink and GPE

2007-04-27 Thread Peter Bart
Hello Everyone,
Can anyone give me a few pointers regarding the Phonelink program
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/phonelink/? It looks like exactly
what I want! Does this work with any phone model with bluetooth or must
I get a Nokia? I'm up for a new handset and this will determine which
one. I've narrowed it down to either the Nokia 6315i or the Motorola
MOTOSLVR L7c from the handsets available from my provider. If there's
something else I should consider please let me know, these are the ones
I get for a reduced price.

Re: New install files for N800

2007-04-27 Thread Dr . Nicholas Shaw

Florian,
A couple of questions:
1. I went to the link and downloaded the files. I installed the 3.0 SDK but could not find the libmimedir-dnome1 package. I'm guessing it's in the GPE Repository but the link is broken.
2. I use the GPE PIM as my PIM. If I uninstall the existing packages will I lose my data? I have a lot of contacts and a lot of information in calendar.
Regards,

Nick Shaw.

Hi,

I created updated install files for the GPE bits in Graham's experimental
repository. You can find them here:
http://linuxtogo.org/~florian/maemo/index.html

The applications seem to work, but I am aware of two issues:
- You need to install the libmimedir-gnome1 package manually, it is not pulled
in automatically.
- It is necessary to remove all GPE packages from the old repositories before
installing the new bits.

Enjoy

Greetings

Florian

source code

2007-04-27 Thread tj
Where can I find the source code for garage projects? I am looking
specifically for the gpmlauncher/mplayer code that is in the
garage.maemo.org/projects/mplayer. The only thing I find on that page is
diff files. Is there a repository for the projects source code?

Re: bluetooth GPS receiver

2007-04-27 Thread Brad Midgley

fwiw...

If you are buying a new gps now, you can get built-in logging with no real
impact on the price. And it looks like wintec fixed the signal quality
problem in their data logger:

http://www.semsons.com/wiwbmu3gpsre2.html

I have the wbt100 model and I like it because it can store a log that can be
extracted later using gpsbabel. Tracks can be retrieved over bluetooth which
should be a no-brainer (some other manufacturers still haven't figured that
out and require usb for xfers).

My only complaint with the wbt100 was the gps receiver was only about as
good as the older sirf ii models. The update in the wbt201 should bring it
up almost in parity with sirf iii devices.

The gps is *tiny*. I put it in one pocket when I went snowboarding and it
was pretty simple to import into google earth and play back my day on the
slopes. Good fun.

 I rooted around and found libmimedir-gnome1_0svn20070331maemo_armel.deb. 
 I tried manually installing it through Application Manager (install from
 file) and it fails, e.g. Unable to install libmimedir-gnome1. 

I would be interested to know what the error is.  I am not sure if you can get 
the Application Manager to tell you but if you have an Xterm with root access 
can you try dpkg -i file and let me know what error you get (just send it 
to me -- no need to bother the list)?

I am currently working on the libmimedir-gnome and libsoup problems -- I hope 
to have updated kits some time over the weekend.  By the way, if anyone hits 
any packaging bugs with GPE please report them in the GPE bugzilla 
(http://bugs.linuxtogo.org/).

You will not lose your data if you uninstall GPE.  However, if you are at all 
worried the best thing to do is to use Xterm and copy the files in the ~/.gpe 
directory to somewhere safe.  For example:

cd  mkdir saved-gpe  cp .gpe/* saved-gpe/

ssh key

2007-04-27 Thread James Knott
How do I generate an ssh key, so that I can connect without using a
password?  I had hoped to be able to use OpenSSH, but when I run the
installer, it says openssh isn't available.

tnx jk

Re: bluetooth GPS receiver

2007-04-27 Thread Acadia Secure Networks

Brad,

given the price of that product, why is the Nokia GPS so much more 
expensive? Is it simply the Brand name or is there some material 
difference in GPS resolution/flexibility/performance, etc?


Best Regards,

ssh key

2007-04-27 Thread Peter Bart
The old openssh needed the red pill mode enabled to install. I noticed
yesterday there was an empty package that shows up in the regular blue
pill mode that pulls in the openssh server and client as a dependency.
No special handling needed, very nice! Look here
http://repository.maemo.org/ for the correct repository terms.
