Re: tetex-extra package conflicts

[Jeffrey Mark Siskind]

I investigated further. It turns out that tetex-bin (which tetex-base and
tetex-extra depend on) has conflicts with:

  debconf 1.4.70.osso2
  sed 4.1.2-8
  coreutils 5.2.1-2osso1
  debianutils 2.17

Further investigation indicates that there are two root conflicts. The first is
that the standard installation includes a package fakedebconf which replaces
debconf with a script that doesn't ask any questions and always answers yes
for the defaults. fakedebconf conflcts with debconf and tetex-bin depends on
debconf. The second is that the standard installation includes a package
called busybox. Busybox is a lightweight replacement for things like sh, cp,
mv, ls, ... providing a compatible subset of the functionality with less
memory footprint. It conflicts with sed, coreutils, and debianutils.

I suspect that tetex-bin will work just fine with fakedebconf and busybox.
Is there a way to force it to ignore the conflicts and go ahead and install
anyway? Alternatively, could I replace fakedebconf with the real debconf and
busybox with the real tools? Then I would have to figure out all of the
packages that I would need to install to cover the busybox functionality. And
deinstalling fakedebconf and busybox might cause a chain reaction deinstalling
almost the whole system.

Any ideas?

Does it save in ODT now? And if so, is it possible to make it the
default format?

An AbiWord port is in private beta now and will be opened up further 
soon.  This should provide such support.

Just out of curiosity, is there any difference between installing

Take a look at:
http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/2007/10/nokia-n800-finding-and-installing-new.html
This tutorial is a bit outdated since it is pre-OS2008 but it is still
quite relevant as the steps are still the same.

They have some nice tutorials to do common tasks at Internet Tablet School.

By far, the best method of installing software is through the
Application Manager but the trick sometimes is setting up the right
combination of application catalogues. Some of the third party ones
don't play well with each other or are very OS specific. Stick with
the maemo.org ones and you won't get into too much trouble. Like
others have said OpenSSH is there in Maemo Extras and works very well
on the N800.

Editing files at device as root + xterm encoding

[Tommy Persson]

How can I edit a file as root on the device. Is there a small
texteditor available? Or can I run leafpad as root?

What I wanted to do was change the xterm enocoding frpm UTF-8 to
something that works better in combination with the systems I log in
to (I could not get åäö to work properly). What is a suitable value?
What is the allowed values?

AW: Nokia N800 Restore OS 2007 after upgrading to OS 2008

[Keitsch Krischan]

Hi John,

yes, you can. But you will have to reflash the n800 again. I am not sure if
you can apply a OS 2008 backup to OS 2007.

Personaly, I think OS 2008 is stable, fast and missing apps are beeing
ported as I write. :-) 
The platform matures with every new release.

Krischan

For my Nokia N800, if I flash to OS 2008, but find that some applications
that run better on OS2007 then can I 
safely revert back to OS 2007?

Thank you
