Play sound file from Claws
Hi, I'm using Claws as my mail reader on N810 and I would like to WAV play sound files attached to an e-mail (I have a service that transmits my voice mail as souond files attached to an email). But if I click 'Open' I get the error message 'No registered viewer for this file type'. But in Preferences I can't seem to set a helper (external program) other than for Web browser and text editor. I would like to be able to set mplayer '%s' for MIME audio/x-WAV. Anybody know how to accomplish this? Thanks,. /Henrik ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I'm pretty sure you'd need swap to view any real documents with OO and the already slow OO would real crawl if it's swapping... OO layout might not leave much space to view the actual document either. If Abiword is not an option, I would suggest PDF export from OO and just reading the PDFs on the device. - Eero The point is that I need to be able to actually edit files, not just view them. The great thing about OOo is that it is highly compatible with Word and other formats as well as OpenDocument, so one application would serve a lot of uses. I tried the latest version of Abiword on my desktop with kubuntu, and it can't even open the most rudimentary of my files, so I don't think it's worth attempting on my N800.

gpsd command line
Does anybody know the command line to start gpsd on an N800 with a bluetooth gps? I don't want to have to have Maemo-Mapper or Maps running in order to have gpsd running. I've read all the documentation I can find, but there is very little in the way of helpful information. I did find out (through experimentation) that gpsd can only be run as superuser, which is highly annoying. The point is that I'm trying to get NavIT working, but it seg faults when either of the other two navigation apps are running, and can't find the GPSr when they aren't. Ultimately, if I can get NavIT working, I will uninstall the other two, so getting gpsd running without them is essential. Of course, if NavIT would check for gpsd and start it if not running, that would be the ideal solution...

Memo mapper cannot connect to GPSD server?
Hi I have a N770 (feels a bit old now) that I just reflashed, installed OS2007 hacker edition, and then tried to install Maemo mapper, one of the most important applications for me right now. I can install version 2 for OS2006, through the maemo-mapper-os2006.install (found on https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=29), and it launches. I scan for bluetooth GPS devices and it finds my Holux GPSlim236. But then it cannot connect, times out and says Error trying to connect to GPSD server. In Settings, GPSD is set to 127.0.0.1, port 2947 (default setting). Anyone got advice on how to make it work?

Re: Memo mapper cannot connect to GPSD server?
Hi! On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 11:53:22AM -0600, Mark wrote: I'm confused; does Maemo Mapper use gpsd, just not through DBus? Maemo Mapper can use gpsd, but normally gpsd is not running (to save system resources, I assume). The dbus bit is just a guess; the only documentation I could find on maemo.org refers to two system libraries, libgpsbt and libgpsmgr. These libraries can start the gpsd for you on request, but Maemo Mapper doesn't use them when you choose the GPSD option. As far as I understand; I haven't actually inspected the source code. Maps and Maemo Mapper seem to get along fine running simultaneously Right, because Maps tells the OS to start gpsd and then Maemo Mapper can connect to it. OTOH if you don't have Maps running, you can't use Maemo Mapper with gpsd at all. I tried. Even if you trigger the GPSD by going into the Control Panel's GPS applet and asking it to refresh your location, Maemo Mapper only works for about 30 seconds until gpsd times out, notices there aren't any apps asking for it via the Nokia-approved libraries, and exits, making Maemo Mapper lose the connection. - is that possible with a direct Bluetooth connection? Yes, if you choose the Bluetooth option in Maemo Mapper with an empty BT address (which means use the internal GPS on a N810), then you can have both MM and Maps running at the same time. AFAIU, the empty address means use whatever's configured in the GPS control panel applet. So if NavIT can't find the bluetooth GPSr by itself I'm out of luck? (From what I've read, Navit can only access gpsd, not bluetooth or any other direct GPSr connection.) Someone has got NavIT running on an N800, but details are not available. I'm sure there's a solution, but I'm not experienced enough to know what it is. This: Note that gpsd is only running when there is an application that wishes to get position data from GPS device. The libgpsmgr makes sure that even if there is multiple programs running that need location information, only one instance of gpsd is running. -- http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howtousegpsframeworkinos2007/ suggests to me that you should add a couple of libgpsmgr calls to NavIT and then try to connect to gpsd, retrying a few times to give it a chance to start up, as documented in http://maemo.org/api_refs/4.0/gpsmgr/group__gpsmgr__api.html#g515fa304360969ba8d59e4e59a0eabf9 Or maybe using http://maemo.org/api_refs/4.0/gpsbt/ would be simpler, at least the example given (gpsbt_start(NULL, 0, 0, 0, ctx);) in http://maemo.org/api_refs/4.0/gpsbt/group__gpsbt__api.html#gdb860fb35f52c4beaf672d76adfc8c85 is clearer and doesn't require you to hardcode details such as GPS device names but instead uses the configuration from the Control Panel.
