Re: can't get a gps fix (was Re: Looking for gps logger for n810)

[Samer Azmy]

Hello,

Please have some patience and do the following
1) Setup Maemo to use Bluttooth GPS (I know that you are using the internal
GPS, but this is how it works)
2) Try to put it in a clear sky position
3) Give time

let me know , if it worked

Regards
Samer

Re: Skype for SIP + N800/N810 - Does it Work?

[Jonathan Greene]

not directly on the device, but you can use Gizmo5 to point to Skype
for a call in path ... maybe that will work on the tablet if that's
what you are trying to do.

I've had trouble with this issue as well, but it's not just the LCARS
theme that is affected. Any of the dark themes have the same issue, so
I'm betting the problem is with GPE Calendar's color scheme. I think
the problem is that it has set background colors that are not affected
by Hildon themes.

I haven't done this yet, but intend to at some point on my N800. As I
understand it, you have to not only install Easy-Debian, but also
download and install an image file. Here's a link to the ITT page for
it:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24272

According to that, you have to run another installer after Turbo Easy
Debian has been installed in order to get the actual OS image file
that has the apps in it.

Skype for SIP + N800/N810 - Does it Work?

[John B. Holmblad]

All,

I visited the Skype for SIP beta www site whose url is:

http://www.skype.com/business/form/sip-beta/

Has anyone been able to get this to work using the SIP client that is 
configured in the N800/N810 OS2008? It would appear that this new 
service from Skype is essentially a SIP trunking service.

Getting Easy-Debian to work

[John B. Holmblad]

All,

after installing an 8g SDHC card on my N800 I decided to make use of it 
by downloading/installing the Turbo Easy Debian for Everyone v0.9.19 app 
that is available now from the maemo downloads www page. It installed 
successfully and it deposited apps into several app directory categories 
(extras, utilities,  and comms ? - I am not in front of my N800 right 
now to provide the exact details). However when I select on, say, the 
openoffice app in the extras category, it fails with an obscure error 
message. It seems that there is a defined sequence of the installed 
"helper"apps that must be launched in order for things to work 
correctly. Unfortunately the maemo www page for this app does not 
clearly define those steps.

Any help would be appreciated so I can avoid the need to hunt and peck 
my way to success.

Also, I would like to understand how this easy-Debian install works. It  
would appear that it utilizes the N800 OS as a sort of hypervisor 
virtualization layer and the easy-Debian install runs as a guest OS but 
I am not certain.

Any insights/help would be much appreciated.

can't get a gps fix (was Re: Looking for gps logger for n810)

[Keywan Najafi Tonekaboni]

Hi,

sorry for thread-hijacking. I can't get a gps fix with my n810.
Yesterday I try it with lot of patience and put the n810 for more then
30min on a table on the balcony. When I try maemo-mapper the gps-icon in
the status bar appears and disappears again and again. But my Garmin
eTrex (cheapest GPS device I know) get a fix even indoor behind the
window.

How must I setup GPS in maemo-mapper?
What can I do to get a GPS-fix (I tried GPS-Settings-> Location)?

Thanks,

Keywan
