* Andreas Poisel [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070707 13:00]: Interesting. A friend of mine upgraded to 4.2007.26-8 yesterday and he had to put it away for the night before the touch-screen was usable. Our problem seems to be related to the Kingston 2 GB SD-cards we're both using. The touch-screen failures vanished after removing the card. Maybe the changes regarding support for SDHC cards cause the troubles. -- Bye, Andreas ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

In the N800, you can back up to an SD flash card. When you connect the N800 to your computer, via USB, the SD flash card appears as a folder on the computer. You can then copy the back up file to your computer. Yo can also simply remove the SD flash card from the N800 for safe keeping. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Status of SyncEvolution and PIM applications
I recently documented the process of syncing GPE (a very well-rounded, stable PIM suite) on the N800 with Evolution on the PC, step by step. (I had searched around and found no such specific instructions beforehand.) It requires no compilation (in most cases), no use of Scratchbox (in all cases), and can be done without using RD mode, AFAIK, so it is a good end-user solution. The daily syncs are also handled through a GUI! The link to the instructions is: http://cleardefinition.com/page/Sync_Evolution_and_GPE_on_N800/ There are a few minor issues with the setup, which I have documented on that page and plan to report to the projects soon as soon as I can tell which bugs go to which projects :D You probably could try it out in Scratchbox (using, for instance, the INdT Maemo VMWare Appliance for ease of installation), but the risk to your device is very low. Hope this helps! If you find any parts of that tutorial that need corrections, or if you notice additional issues with the system, please let me know and file a bug with the upstream projects, if applicable. Thanks!

Went to Control Panel/Backup and made full backup. 2. Copied some files(in particular Maemopad+ database) which were in root directory for some reason to my mmc1 card. 3. Saved list of installed applications to the mmc1 card by running dpkg –get-selections /media/mmc1/soft.txt 4.

Open xterm window, become root: $sudo gainroot and change default root password: #passwd 8.

A whole bunch of issues (new firmware)...
Hi, I sent a couple of these already, but got no response. Now, I have a new issue (which is at the bottom). - Original Message - Subject: Camera v2.9 loses video functionality?! Date: 07/06/2007 8:01 am Has anyone noticed that the latest version of the Nokia Camera app doesn't have the video option anymore? - Original Message - Subject: Arg! My backup doesn't work!!! Date: 07/06/2007 8:05 pm Ok, so, I made my bsckup before flashing the new firmware... I checked the backup directory on the MMC -- everything appeared ok (although, I didn't look any deeper). Now, after upgrading, the Backup/Restore app doesn't see the backup. So, I checked the contents of my backup.metadata file and, guess what... It's completely blank (no XML data, nothing). Now, my question is... What can I do? NEW... The Application Manager crashed while trying to install Python 2.5. Actually, it has crashed on a few different occasions since upgrading, but not like this time. This time, my desktop graphics didn't redraw properly and the touch screen didn't work. Upon restart, the Nokia Logo/Status Bar did it's thing, but then froze when the Status Bar got to the end of the load animation. The startup sound played (which usually plays during the hands graphic, but nothing actually happened onscreen -- it is still on the Nokia Logo. The N800 still goes into power save mode if I leave it alone -- and comes back on when I tap the screen -- but it's just frozen on the Nokia Logo. I guess I'm going to need to reflash again. :( Has anyone else experience any of these (three) items?

RE: Anyone have success with j2me on n800? Using latest firmware...
I can't execute *anything* on mmc, if I copy it over to e.g. /home/user it runs happily :( Wondering what is that ... --jakub It may have something to do with the fact that MMC's are by default using the FAT filesystem. If you don't use noexec, it assumes everything's exec (since there is no exec attribute in FAT), which makes files copied from MMC act weird and try to execute instead of opening, at least on a desktop linux machine.
