Just uninstall the package from Application manager and all will be well. As indicated, I was going to try that, but I wanted to do it at home as work WIFI is spotty at best. I can confirm promlems fixed with removal. M ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Offline mode from the command-line?
Thanks to all who replied. Faheem's /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_mode_ind string:[normal|flight] works a treat. Had to live with a bit of a hack to get it to wake up again in the morning until I can find some documentation for alarmtool (though it seems the alarm's not that reliable anyway) but my battery was a lot fuller this morning ;-) In case it's of help to anybody, this is the script that I'm now running. I start it via SSH from my server at the end of the backup. The downside is that the SSH session stays up until it restarts, but it's less of an overhead than staying connected (I've backgrounding the script, but SSH seems determined to stay.) # Switch to offline mode /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_mode_ind string:flight # wait 8 1/2 hours so the device will reconnect in time for when I'll need it online again sleep 30600 # Switch back to online mode and reconnect to the default access point /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_mode_ind string:normal -- Tony Green Ipswich, Suffolk, England http://www.beermad.org.uk/ http://www.suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/ ** This message is digitally signed.

Re: Insufficient Space to upgrade
Hi, ext Scott wrote: Along these same lines, is there a file browser that will see the entire disk including the hidden folders so I can see where the files are piling up and which temp ones can be deleted? Or is there a utility for the n810 similar to TreeSize (windoze program) that will show you all the folders and how much space each folder (recursive) takes up? I use something like the attached scripts from command line on the device: du-fs-contents.sh -- shows sizes of directory contents, dir at the time package-sizes.sh -- list sizes of all packages according to pkg database NOTE: the package (database) Installed-Size information isn't trustworthy, the package can take a lot less disk space: * on install certain documentation directories are removed from the packages (with docpurge) and amount of that can be quite large * The file system is also LZO compressed, so files may take significantly less space than they appear. For example: # cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents # lzop osso_software_copyright.pdf # ls -s osso_software_copyright.pdf* 1359 osso_software_copyright.pdf 334 osso_software_copyright.pdf.lzo I.e. the PDF file actually takes only few hundred KB from the file system instead of over MB. Some other files like jpeg, png, mp3, wma etc ones are in an already compressed format. Debian localepurge might also be useful, but I don't know whether it can be easily used on our tablets: http://packages.debian.org/etch/localepurge - Eero du-fs-contents.sh Description: application/shellscript package-sizes.sh Description: application/shellscript ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Your description is vague - What *exactly* was the issue with flashing it? Any error messages? Well, the issue is that there's no public images available for RX-48. The RX-34 and RX-44 images don't have the stuff needed for the RX-48, so getting them running on the RX-48 isn't going to be an option like it was for the RX-34 back in November with the RX-48 image. Yes, Ryan got it right. It was given given to a friend of mine directly by Nokia. As someone else mentioned using the RX-34 and RX-44 images is not an option[1]. In any case, I can't even access them on tablets-dev.nokia as it says my ID (MAC address) is invalid. And the windows tool comes up empty, and asks for a binary. I guess all I need is an updated image, if that is possible with this device. I've contacted Nokia directly and I'm waiting to hear back.

Actually I'm not bound by OS, but no, the tool doesn't seem to find any update and is asking for a firmware file to be loaded manually.
