 I also set audio volume to zero most of the time.  It

 turn it one where I have to be quiet.

You can also disable just system sounds (Sounds control panel applet).

BTW skype is buggy and does not ring when system sounds are disabled, 
should Skype bugs go to maemo bugzilla? I'd say yes.

 When you're not using the device, I would recommend putting it to
 offline mode, that's an option in the power-button menu that disables
 all radios in the device (next time you need to use net, just OK
 a dialog that the device gives you).  This can make a large difference
 if you have processes that like to often check things from the network.


 (above could be added to good answers about battery usage I guess)
 
 Well, it's a workaround, but the right answer is that those processes
 are obviously buggy and must be fixed.
 

I'm playing with other ugly workaround - sending SIGSTOP when 
touchscreen/keys are locked and SIGCONT when unlocking to such buggy 
processes. Works nice for browser or scummvm :-)

Once I finetune list of suitable tasks it would work like real device 
suspend :-)

Re: Power consumption and WLAN APs

 (The N810 is associated with triumf)

Looking at this table I see that the high consumption happens when test 
beacon is enabled, whichever the state of triumf.

Just guessing. Wouldn't it be possible that this consumptions happens because, 
as the N810 is not connected to this WLAN, every time a beacon arrives it must 
check whether it is a known WLAN to decide if it must automatically connect to 
it? If the beacon is sent every 100ms, the check will happen at this frequency. 
You can try sending the beacon with a lower frequency (i.e. 1/s) and check if 
the consumption goes down.

Re: Sbox2 (was: Announcing the wiki page a day)

Hi,

 I have tried several times to install scratchbox and other soeftware for 
 maemo development on my Debian system, and have not succeeded.  There 
 seem to be instructions and relevant repositories secreted in carious 
 places on the web.  However, when following perfectly reasonable-looking 
 instructions, I keep finding that they don't work as described -- 
 usually because the relevant repositories have desappeared.
 
 I'd like to request an up-to-date page on installing the development 
 environment in a way that's compatible with responsible system 
 administration on Debian.  Even the Nokia's script that says it uses the 
 Debian packaging system and claims to write only to a specific (new) 
 top-level file system does, in fact, write elsewhere.
 
 Finally, debian lenny now has a package called scratchbox2.  The 
 instructions I've seen all use variations on scratchbox 1.*.  Is that a 
 sign the instructions are obsolete?  Or is scratchbox2 really a very 
 different thing?

They are different.  For more info on Sbox2, see:

Re: USBcontrol on N810

I had the same problem on my N810 ans I solved it this way :

- check if maemo-control-usb is installed on your N810
- if yes desintall maemo-control-usb and usbcontrol
- then reinstall usbcontrol then maemo-control-usb

I made this two or three times and finally it works !

I tried this 2 or 3 times, once with a reboot after the
uninstalls, and it didn't seem to work.

I has also the same problem with gpe-sudoku that I solved by 
desinstalling and reinstalling it.

I think it is a problem of librari dependencies

That's what I'm guessing too.  Just have to figure out
which one is the problem.

Hope it can help

I'll keep trying.
