After some digging I finally figured out that to keep the crawler from starting all you need to do is add "exit 0" to the beginning of the file. That finally fixed the crawler problem for me. I sure wish somebody who understands all the implications would write a better and more explicit set of instructions. Back to your problem, though: I can't say that I really know what's going on, but it sure sounds to me like you've got a recorder app running in the background that's hijacking the button input and has some other problem that is preventing proper operation - maybe it isn't even fully loading properly. I would try looking through your process list and/or system logs for any obvious suspects. And with that I'll shut up. I'm trying to be helpful but I have to admit I'm in over my head.

Re: Internal memory card is read-only
Hi, thanks for your hints. I have a corrupted file called "map" which isn't readable.fsck thrown some errors and I let repair it. It seems ok again. How can I format it? Is there something tablet specific? Btw. Shouldn't Maemo report such problems and help the user to fix it?

Some time ago I struggled with this and found the easiest solution was to back up and reformat the card rather than try to repair the fs. -- Brad Midgley ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Some buttons not working properly on N800
the system does performs slightly better after the crawler patch. but the problem persists, cannot unlock the keys. the other buttons are more responsive while using another applications. but not i configured the ssh-server and i'm checking the dmesg while i click the button. i get a lot of these: EAC mode: play disabled, rec disabled is it somehow related or a completely different beast?

Internal memory card is read-only
Hi, my internal memory card is read only, but in the "Memory"-Settings (from Control panel) the checkbox isn't activated. I tried to restart the device, but after reboot it's still read-only. I can remount it to read-write, but after one action it's read-only again. Any idea?
