Re: n900: newbie questions

2011-10-28 Thread Fuzz Buzz
Sorry this is very delayed response.

sudo su works well for me (ctrl+r works)

For wget, fdisk etc, I suggest installing the easy-debian package. It creates a 
subtree of the filesystem (under /.debian I think) that replicates the 
filesystem of a Debian installation. It then chroot's a shell inside that 
filesystem.
Once you're inside the chrooted shell, your shell will behave exactly like a 
Debian installation, so you'll be able to install all the goodies that you want 
like mutt, gimp, openoffice, wget, curl, rsync, etc. Basically anything you can 
apt-get on Debian/Ubuntu you'll be able to apt-get in here. Extremely useful in 
my opinion (Note: the first easy-debian installation may take a while, since it 
needs to download an entire Debian filesystem, which is about 2GB). 

Hope that helps.

 Hi,
 
 I just got my N900 a week ago, I like it, Linux inside yeah :)
 
 Some questions though:
 
 I can do word completion in xterm via tab. But how to do it in
 apps like notes or when I want to edit my email account? The
 complete word is there in blue, but I have no clue about which
 button to hit...
 
 I have enabled /bin/bash as default shell for user and root. For
 user I can use 'ctr + r' for searching the history of commands,
 but this isn't working when I am root (sudo gainroot).
 
 Claws-mail is installed here, but I am searching for a way to sync
 agenda with my Ubuntu desktop somehow (/me don't like Google ...).
 Is it possible to install this calendar plugin on my n900?
 http://www.claws-mail.org/maemo/
 http://repository.maemo.org/extras/dists/chinook/install/claws-mail-vcalendar.install
 
 
 And yes, I like to use my usb keybd, but see my other thread for that ...
 
 And tools like wget fdisk locate etc. are the available somewhere?
 
 Dirk

I've also been getting this message for weeks (if not months). I'd like
to know how to stop it.

It’s easy. Go to the Availability dialogue by tapping on the system status 
panel and selecting “My Availability” (or something similiar; I don’t know the 
exact words because I use the Czech locale). Then see the last and bottom item 
in the list of your instant messaging accounts which reads just as Accounts. 
From there, you should be able to delete the entry for the OVI messaging 
service.

Have a nice day,

Ekoore

2011-10-28 Thread sebastian maemo
Why has Nokia not been as brave as a little Italian company called Ekoore?
:-(

N900 is the best thing ever happened to cellular telephony.

I suppose N9 is as good, but it's not going to be sold in Europe :-(

I suppose my new Tablet will be Ekoore + Ubuntu, though I would prefer a
Nokia device + Debian :-(
