Some problems with OS2008HE: no memory extension and glib
Hi all! I just installed the latest OS2008HE on a 2GB mmc on my Nokia 770. It function very well, apart a pair of problem that I encountered. I tried to extend memory to the memory card but it says that there is no internal memory card. The system is installed on the second partition of the card and I use the first partition for data, as usual with OS2007HE. May be I must change a config file, or make a swap partition? It's not a big problem, until I don't have to go on big sites or to open more than one software. The second problem is with dependencies. I installed about all the repositories from gronmayer (Maemo Extras has a lot of good stuff, but not all for now). When I try to install or upgrade some packages, like maemo wordpy or abiword or to upgrade gpe suite, it says that it can't do it because I don't have some libraries updated, like libfreetype6 or libglib (it needs at least 2.12.12 and I have 2.0). Thanks a lot for any info Sirio -- -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GIT d-- s: a-- C++ UL+++ P+ L++ E W+++ N++ o++ K- w-- O M V+ PS+++ PE-- Y++ PGP+ t+ 5+ X+ R+ tv b++ DI++ D+ G++ e h! r++ y++ --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Rumor mill: Maemo 5 device

I think that's been the major issue with the tablets in the past: considering the features, the price is way above everybody's threshold until about the time the new model comes out, making the old one (depending on one's viewpoint) obsolete. ...but I strongly suspect that those leaked specs are all somebody's fantasy. And I think it's highly unlikely that it will be released in the next few weeks (they're saying July 2009), or even this summer. Next spring would be much easier to believe.

That's well over three times the going rate for a pocket device. Also, at this point regular cellular voice would be a requirement for me. I'd rather not. I already have a perfectly working phone, and I don't want to combine phone and PDA: you look such a prat trying to work a spreadsheet while trying to make a call, or wearing one of those zomboid BT earpieces. Mais chacun a son gout. If they can't get the price to netbook levels or less, it's highly unlikely that a single soul will buy them.

Yep. €150-€200 is the max the market will pay for this here. Maybe in the USA where there is more disposable income it could go higher. ...but I strongly suspect that those leaked specs are all somebody's fantasy.

Next spring would be much easier to believe. It's already the end of June. Anyway, I'm not yet in the market for an upgrade at that price: the N800 cost me an ARM and a leg and it's working just fine. And certainly not with some daft cellphone deal like the iPhone that ties you to a single supplier at a massive markup. ///Peter ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Feel free to add your thoughts about the N900 rumours to the 1325+ posts on the N900 specs revealed thread over on talk.maemo.org. Every tiny detail about the leak has been discussed for pages and pages, including possible price, screen size, dpad (or lack thereof), keyboard, phone capability (or lack thereof), interspersed with hundreds of posts saying, Wow, Nokia! It's about time! or How could you, Nokia! I'll never buy one! There's even a couple cameo appearances by Nokia employees! http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29151 On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 2:11 PM, Mark wolfm...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 9:58 PM, Quim Gilquim@nokia.com wrote: Hi, Maemo users interested in this thread will surely be interested in Intel and Nokia agreement on New tablets collaboration http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29825 and even Nokia launches a Netbook in 2011 ? http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29816 -- Quim Gil open source advocate Maemo Devices @ Nokia One of the threads mentions an N900, which somebody has mentioned on this list before.

These days, those people look stranger to me than ones that have their hands free. I'm going to backpedal: I could live without voice if the price were reasonable enough. However, I probably will only be able to afford a subsidized model. Hopefully once the contract was over it could be unlocked. Regardless, as long as it could be tethered to a(nother) phone it's probably not much of an issue for me. ...but I strongly suspect that those leaked specs are all somebody's fantasy.

K -- In Vino Veritas http://rubbernecking.info Hope springs eternal, I guess. I'm just hoping the IT form factor isn't dead and that new devices will mostly be more powerful along with only a couple of added features. I still prefer the two full-sized SD slots over the physical keyboard, but I suppose I'm enough in the minority that there will never be an actual N800 replacement. I guess the reason I found this so interesting is because the previous talk led me to believe that there would be no more actual IT devices from Nokia, only smartphones and iPod Touch-like devices. Sorry for wasting bandwidth on something that has apparently been overly-well discussed on talk.maemo.org.
