Yet another N810 FAQ
FYI, I wrote up some of my N810 "discoveries" as a FAQ - mostly things I figured out for myself but some courtesy members of this list (thanks again) http://andrew.daviel.org/N810-FAQ.html Corrections appreciated. Or questions with answers, preferably ones I can verify myself, or at least a definitive URL. (as to why it's not a Wiki .. I *still* find it easier to edit on my own servers with vi than to use a browser as an editor ...) -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I found http://www.oooninja.com/2008/02/batch-command-line-file-conversion-with.html and wrote said Babelfish-style converter. If anyone wants to try it, see http://home.daviel.org/cgi-bin/ms2pdf No guarantees it will stay up, and the bandwidth's not great (this is not a production server). I called it "MS to PDF" but it will also do ODT, SXW etc. to PDF or HTML. I have OpenOffice 2.4 running in headless server mode and pass it documents retrieved with wget. Currently it caches converted documents indefinitely so I'm not bothered if someone hits "reload" a few times. Point taken about wanting to work on documents offline, but what I wanted was to check out the slides at a conference to see what stream I wanted to attend, or follow links in the presentation in real time. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
FYI, Nokia N810 user survey
As per the Internet Tablet Talk post by dkwatts, http://tableteer.nokia.com/tableteer/os2008/redir.xhtml?source=promoapplet Nokia is asking about our experiences and suggestions for the N810. 20 min. web survey "on a scale of 1-10, how important is IM to you?" etc. plus a few free-form comment boxes. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Have you considered https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125
? I haven't tried it but it sounds useful for that case.

There are per-connection proxy settings in control panel -> connections
(advanced or somesuch button on the last page of the wizardry)... I
don't know how they interact with prefs you might set in about:config
but if you're mentioning the possibility of changing them in browser
prefs I think you'll need to either also explain the interaction, or use
a different example, to avoid confusion :)

For maemo-mapper, "Bluetooth" with blank address works; see

Re: UVC Gadget driver
Hi, > Is there any UVC (USB Video Class) or UAC (USB Audio Class) gadget > driver developed for maemo? for usb audio there's an ALSA driver snd_usb_audio. No clue though if there are efforts to include it into IT OS. Would be cool. Best regards, ce ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
OOo on N8x0
Really about Debian on the N8x0, which opens up the possibilities drastically! :-) http://geekpenguin.blogspot.com/2008/05/so-close-to-complete.html (Just a starting point - follow the links to get down to the nitty gritty.)

Re: OOo on N8x0
That's pretty awesome. Is it true or just a spoof? Where is the debian distro for N8x0 and where can people get that version?

Re: OOo on N8x0
This sounds like a work in progress before it achieves general distribution. Sounds like a couple months out for general use, at best. I also noted in poking around that there's a KDE desktop showing on the n800. The last things folks doing this sort of development work need is to get dumped on my a bunch of end user problems.
