Don't know about N900 but on Symbian the "trick" was to type the word using the correct spelling over and over until it finally preferred that over the misspelled version.

Re: Dataplan Monitor
Sounds like one solution could be to add a billing cycle start date setting for the widget. Instead of resetting the whole counters, the widget could store the current data transfer amounts when the new billing cycle begins and then display data transferred during this cycle (= current amount - amount in the beginning of the cycle) If the widget additionally stores the past billing cycle amounts in a table (or in gconf?), it is easy to find the past transfer amounts as well.

I don't think anyone is going to care if it's off by 5 to 10%, since that's already the case. The existing estimates are usually off for many of the reasons you state already, who cares if the breakdown is off a little? As for the rest, the tools certainly can know where the files are going. The paths are stored in the package, and a simple test-extract will tell you the paths and rough size of a file. A simple pearl script could be setup to tally the counts based on the default N900 mounting layout, build a percentage, and show how much is root vs opt vs ... No, you can't show what it will take for a compressed file system, or one that's been linked differently. But even a rough idea for a *standard* N900 setup would be nice. If a package moves things or unpacks things during it's install, well... that's unavoidable, and again is _already_ not showing up in the usage estimate we're getting now. I think you're just taking this a little too literally. Nobody is asking for exact numbers for all scenarios. People just want a little more detail on how the existing estimate breaks down when it comes to rootfs vs storage. Nobody is expecting it to work to the byte, but for most packages it's going to give a pretty good idea of how much space it will take, and make it much clearer which packages have been optified vs which ones have not. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Johan Helsingius wrote: >One that, as you yourself point out, can easily be fixed at no cost. All I am >saying is that it *should* be fixed. If I'm reading some of the replies here correctly, it looks like they have done some of this in PR1.1.1, so this may be the last time we have this issue? Personally, I think it's better to turn off devel and testing before doing an update in any case. One good example for why is that the main package is really just a big dependency list of other packages to pull. If beta versions exists in devel and you update with that repository on, it may pull a beta package over a stable one, since it's version is "newer". Not to mention namespace conflicts. I don't think most people having this issue are having it because they have repositories just enabled though. It's usually because they've installed a bunch of things from the repositories that are devel-level and eat lots of space on the rootfs. I've only "optified" my themes directory by hand, and pulled the optified python package. Between that and turning off the repositories for the update I had well over 70M free on the root, and I have plenty of devel/testing software installed. (fMMS, Haze, games, Stelarium, pidgin, Joikuspot, several widgits...) Yes, there at lots of things I think Maemo can fix to help this, and I think they are doing it rather quickly (4 releases in 4 months is an aggressive release cycle). Just looking at what the community has done to help others update and implementing those changes would be a great start. Moving themes, icons, apt caches, and the like off to /opt space and linking them over could be a simple update bundled with the rest of the stuff. But that's not going to fix the world if people keep blindly installing devel apps and not knowing or caring if they're optified yet. We need to get these ideas to Maemo to fix them, but we also have to push to educate average users who aren't paying attention to the exiting warning signs. Just complaining that you have to enter commands to move things around isn't helping. Promoting ideas of what to change, how to better warn/educate users, pushing solutions in the brainstorm area, and the like are much more productive means to that end that complaining about it every month in a user e-mail forum. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Nokia is moving all is applications, OS ecc... to be Qt based, so I really expect a Qt based Ovi Maps application someday. Even if Harmattan won't be ported to N900, it's users will be able to use Harmattan applications anyway thanks to official Qt support for N900 too. Until now Maemo was only an "experimental" OS, but I think that the fusion with Moblin that made MeeGo and in particular the fact that we're all expecting the "final step" from them, all these things will bring more and more applications to N900 and future N, so I really think that we'll have this feature too. n.b: this is just my personal hopinion and it would be nice to have some confirmation, but I think we'll have to wait some months to know... -- Andrea Grandi email: a.grandi [AT] gmail [DOT] com website: http://www.andreagrandi.it PGP Key: http://www.andreagrandi.it/pgp_key.asc ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Now that Nokia announced that navigation with indications will be free forever, I'd like to know if we'll be able to do that with the N900.

There are a number of caches involved, and I don't know the latest information about where they are unfortunately. Some of them got moved around recently, I think. The caches are: /var/lib/apt/lists/ - Packages and Release files from the repos. /var/cache/apt/ - 'compiled' binary representation of above /var/cache/apt/archives - downloaded packages ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I do run a little data over the AT&T network, but almost none, since most of the time, I'm in range of an open WiFi network. For that matter, I am using a minimal dataplan for AT&T since I do so little data over their network.

Hi, ext David Greaves wrote: ext Jan Knutar wrote: Another nice feature would be if the application manager, or a web interface somewhere, could tell you beforehand how much space an app consumes on /... It cannot, for several reasons. The size for the package included to the binary package metadata is determined by the Debian tools based on the space how much these files take on the build file system which may be block based, unlike UBIFS. And more importantly, these tools don't or even cannot take into account: 1. Where the files go, root or /home i.e. how much space package will take from which file system. 2. If it goes to a compressed file system (like root), what is the compressed size. The compression level used when mounting the partition affects this too (which can be changed by root user). 3. Which of the installed files will be removed by apt-hooks on the device (e.g. docs...). User can install also his own hooks. 4. Will the package itself do something that affects the space, like: - moving files from one partition to another - adding / generating new files - removing files Even larger issue is with updates. When updating a file that is in use, file system cannot get rid of the old version of the file until all of its users close the old file (which happens e.g. at reboot). And if the release image was compressed with different compression level than what is used at run-time (may be lower for performance reasons), even copying the same file in place may increase disk usage. Application manager doesn't have any reasonable way to find out about this (and the comments above apply also to this space). That too would be useful. Not as much as if the app manager didn't takes >10Mb of space for repo indexes The files are fairly repeatable ASCII. Rootfs compresses them pretty well, you should check the lzo compressed size. - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

no voice-assisted navigation on any maemo device?
As the snow is finally disappearing, motorcycle season is about to start again - and one of the reasons I originally upgraded my 770 to an 810 and then 900 was to get GPS navigation without having to resort to a separate satnav or phone. And on a motorcycle, you need voice instructions, as you can't keep staring at a screen. Well, the ovi maps app on maemo 5 is useless - no real-time routing, no voice, and that horrible forced forward-up, north-is-wherever orientation. OK, while waiting for a real satnav app for maemo5 (or maemo6, or meetoo or whatever), I thought I could at least use the 810 with the commercial map (wayfinder) app, that actually does most of what I want, but is closed source and requires an expensive license. Ah, no, doesn't any more - wayfinder has been sold to Vodafone, and the internet tablet version has been discontinued. So no way to reactivate routing. Duh. Oh, and the other big reason to use a maemo device was CarMan for the OBDII stuff - seems that app isn't ported to maemo 5 either... :( Julf ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

You might be right about the hardware, and in that case, yes, it would make sense to put the frequently-used files on a smaller piece of faster but more expensive memory. But the application manager / apt is not a frequently used application. I do not care if checking for new updates takes 10 or 20 s. So if you are right, the original partitioning decisions are even worse than I thought - wasting precious fast memory on stuff that definitely doesn't need the speed. > I take no exception to saying it's a poor design choice > (IN YOUR OPINION) that they didn't go with a device with > full class 6 flash I am not talking about hardware design, but a very simple software/set-up choice.

My apt directory contains an additional "lists" directory containing
package index lists for all configured repositories.
Maybe you could create it ("mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/"), run "apt-get
update", "aptitude update" or whatever Maemos command for updating the
package lists from the repositories may be and see if that helps?
