Please check this out for more details http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/IMEI IMEI blocking is only relevant for mobile phones -- the N810 is not a phone and doesn't have an IMEI. By the way, IMEI blocking only works in some countries. There is a reasonable description of it at http://www.solidblogger.com/block-lost-mobile-imei-no/ (although that is for India, but it works the same way anywhere it is implemented). But bear in mind that even where IMEI blocking does work, it only stops the phone connecting to the GSM network. It does not stop the thief having full access to all the other functions (including accessing any data on the phone and copying it off using WiFi or Bluetooth). It also does not work (in most cases) outside the country -- so a thief (or a subsequent buyer of the phone) can use it on a network in another country. In this case, your best hope is that when the thief realises it is not actually a mobile phone he throws it away.

Re: Cannot turn off call forwarding
On Saturday 12 June 2010 11:24:06 Tanuva wrote: Okay, had a look into my provider's documents and found a way to turn it off. It's done using some GSM codes like ##61#, which the N900 doesn't support, therefore I used my old 3510i and it seemed to work. Back in the N900, call forwarding is enabled again. Is that setting phone based? No, in GSM the phone has nothing to do with call forwarding -- the network is in control. All the phone can do is show you the network setting, and request the network to change the setting (which the network can choose to ignore). When you look in the Settings on the N900 it is showing you the current network setting. When you disable forwarding on the N900 it sends the same GSM codes that you entered on your old phone. Next time you look at the settings the phone asks the network what the current settings are and tells you. The phone does not remember the settings (and is not involved in the act of actually forwarding a call). As an earlier reply said, if the N900 is not succeeding in changing the settings it means your network operator is refusing to accept the changes. You need to call your operator and speak to someone to get them to change the settings. It is not a bug in the N900.

Even for that bear in mind that you don't want to delete recurring events that happen to start in the past if they are still going (I would not delete any recurring event, personally). You might want to ask on the GPE list if anyone has any suggestions for the SQL to use. 3) When you mess it up, go back to one of the backup copies you took in step 1!

It is very interesting to see the problem reported for a completely different package, on a different system. Is it worth doing a fsck to check there is no filesystem corruption? If you look at /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d (which is a shell script), in the verifyrclink function, you can see that what is failing is: test -L /etc/rc2.d/S20httpd and test -f /etc/rc2.d/S20httpd I did not have access to my user's system and they just wanted a quick fix so I never got to look around the filesystem to see why those tests might be failing.

I may eventtually try to make it do synchronization similar to how Erminig does calendar synchronization. My question to the list is if anyone know of similar attempts that I may have missed despite my eager searches. You could consider using Opensync. Unfortunately, at the moment Opensync is severely broken (it is being rewritten, with many improvements, but it is going more slowly than planned). If you can afford to wait another 6 months it may be usable again, and I may even have the Maemo port working again! The advantage of Opensync is that it has (although they haven't been ported to the new API yet) plugins for both Google and Evolution Data Server. I am sure there would be interest in adapting those plugins to do what you need. But, it is not an option today. My suggestion: create a one-way sync yourself and look to moving to Opensync for two-way sync when it is working again next year. There is another option: there has been discussion on the GPE list of moving GPE contacts to use the built-in contacts database in EDS. If that happened, you could make use of the GPE contacts import (which has been much improved and is being actively maintained to fix problems with import from Google and other systems). So, another option is for you to look into whether that is possible and whether you could contribute to that.

If you do not want to use or contribute to a device which is not completely open that is, of course, your choice. I, on the other hand, am willing to work on a device which provides an open application environment and an SDK -- that is the key thing for me. US-style application locks (which, fortunately, have always been rare in the GSM world) are what I really object to. Of course, you are entitled to think that I am selling out a point of principle. And I may think that you are being unrealistic. Agreeing to differ is perfectly fine -- but please do not speak for me. And you know, it's fine if Nokia doesn't want to take the risk of being one of the first, but it just makes me sad to see how misinformed Jaaksi is to think he can reason us out of what we want and how he doesn't see the potential of what open source can bring Nokia (and he's the head of open-source operations!!). Now he just wants to get and not give, but I can understand that, it just seems to be the viewpoint of someone who doesn't know alot about how this open source thingy works, that's all. Maybe Nokia should have someone in that position who understands F/OSS... I think he/they do understand it quite well. F/OSS is a broad community with many different views, including yours, and mine (and many others). Much of the community (although not you, and many others who share your views) are willing to contribute without complete openness. My personal rules (which define what I will or will not do, but which I do not try to impose on others) is that I am willing to tolerate the notion of commercial subsidy with some restrictions: I tolerate sim-locks, which allow the toys I want to be made available to me for less cost in exchange for a reasonable restriction (like not using it on another operator for 18 months). In practice, I accept it if it seems like a fair deal: I insist that the device is also available not locked, for a reasonable price and that the discount for the sim lock is considerable and the lock for a limited time. In those circumstances I think sim-locks are perfectly reasonable. On the other hand, I do not tolerate DRM in its current form because it is not a fair deal. Typically the content being protected by DRM is not available for a reasonable price without DRM, the DRM does not provide me with a considerable discount, and the DRM restrictions do not expire after a reasonable time. My objection to DRM is not one of principle: it is one of fairness. I would be interested in engaging in a dialogue with Nokia to see if they would espouse some similar sorts of fairness principles, in exchange for some of us accepting the things he talks about and contributing to devices which include them. I'm just glad that, in the meantime, I'm going to have open alternatives. What open alternatives? That is a serious question -- I personally know of no manufacturer making devices which are more open than the Internet Tablets and would be interested to know what is/will be available.

Now comes the question of what I can do to join the project in orger to develop the todo list. I regularly use two machines -- a 32-bit Debian Lenny, and a 64-but Debian etch. No, make that three machines -- I have an n800 with OS2007. I haven't upgraded to 2008 for two reasons: (1) inertia and (2) I've heard a lot of complaints about 2008. You need to be able to do development and testing for the systems you are targetting (IT2007 is fine, although being able to also boot into IT2008 for testing would be an advantage in case there are bugs which only show up on that platform -- the Hildon widgets are different). To develop for the Internet Tablet you would need to install the scratchbox-based Maemo SDK. The SDK is easy to install and run on 32-bit Lenny (that is my main development environment). It is hard to make it work on 64-bit Debian (or on Etch) but there is also a VMware appliance which may work in those environments. Presumably I have to install development software that's specific to Debian and to the n800, as well as relevant versioning system(s). What do I need? How do I get started with it? Do I need to convince anyone that my ideas (such as nonautomatic task ordering) are worthwhile? To work on GPE you will need SVN installed. You would definitely want to subscribe to the GPE mailing list -- where people will be happy to help you with the process of getting started. You don't have to get any sort of permission to start making changes and submitting patches to the mailing list (as with most open source projects that is the usual way to start contributing -- once people see you are doing good work you may be offered direct update access to the SVN repository). In principle, you might need to convince Florian (the GPE project leader) your ideas are worthwhile for him to be willing to accept your patches. In practice I can't see anyone complaining about the manual task ordering idea -- it sounds like a good idea to me. The most likely problem is that GPE actually runs on many different platforms and any patches must not break the other platforms (sometimes a new feature might not work on other platforms but the code should still build and the old behaviour work). But people on the list or reviewing and testing your patches can help with that. Maemo-users is probably not the right place to go into any more detail.

One of the big problems with the older releases is that they are using old versions of some key libraries (glib is the biggest issue for me but there are others such as libxml). Increasingly I find that the latest versions of applications assume a more up to date environment and take considerable effort to back-port.

Re: Support for external screen

I can display pictures on a VGA screen using the sisbit test program! But displaying pictures doesn't help much: my real goal is to be able to display presentations. My immediate next task is to work out how to tell the system how to load the sisusbvga driver automatically when I connect the device (I presume that is a simple piece of udev conf file magic). Once I have done that I can create a package if anyone else is interested. The more difficult task is going to be to build an Xserver which can use the sisusb VGA device. I can't add a driver to the built-in Xserver on the N810 because it isn't modular. My current thoughts were to try to adapt the sisusb driver from X.org to the KDrive Tiny X server and port that to Maemo. Any advice or insight into whether that is a good idea would be welcome. The other approach, of course, would be to port the whole of X.org but that seemed like a huge task. I haven't decided what to do about input devices: one option is to make a USB keyboard and USB mouse connected to the same hub work and make it completely independent of the Internet Tablet input. But a better option might be something like x2x. Or maybe I can just make the presentation display work with no input from the target Xserver. Any ideas, suggestions, or offers of help (particularly from anyone familiar with X.org) would be very welcome.

system).
3. Does anything in the standard software rely on the fact that the
internal flash have a single partition formatted as FAT32? Can I safely
repartition and reformat (as ext{2,3})? Can I put a swap partition on the
internal flash?
What I did was repartition the internal card, leaving the first partition as
FAT32. In my case I created two additional ext2 partitions but you can do
anything you like with the rest of the space. I used the built in utility to
create a swap file on the FAT32 partition.
4. In noticed that the default /etc/fstab has an entry for the internal
flash (as /media/mmc1) that is hardwired for vfat with a whole lot of
options. Is any of that crucial? Can I remove/change that entry if I
reformat/repartition?
I left it there. The GUI sees the (now smaller) vfat partition as
the internal memory card. I have added /etc/fstab entries as needed for my
extra partitions.
By the way, I have done the same sort of thing with the external memory card I
use in the device: I have setup the first partition as VFAT, so the device
can access it as normal, and I have other partitions for other purposes which
I mount as necessary.

Porting to Chinook: Hildon API changes
We are currently porting GPE to chinook. I am fairly confident I have resolved the issues with changed libraries but there seem to be some HIldon API changes and I am not a Hildon programmer. We would appreciate any pointers to documentation or other suggestions for making these changes. I haven't found much useful information on these changes using Google. There are three specific issues in GPE applications... 1) This must be the easiest: the code currently turns off capitalisation in a hildon input window using: g_object_set (G_OBJECT (w), HILDON_AUTOCAP, FALSE, NULL); Is there an equivalent of this in Chinook? 2) hildon-app and hildon-appview seem to have gone away. Any guide to porting that code to use hildon-program and hildon-window? 3) hildon-home-plugin seems to have disappeared. I presume this mechanism has changed. Any guide to how to port that code?

After mounting the filesystem (as root), should I be able to access it as user? I find that user is not able to cd to the mounted filesystem (can't cd) nor ls it (Permission denied). It looks as if I need to mount the filesystem with the uid for user (2), but the uid=2 option does not work. This is a big disadvantage with using NFS. The problem is that NFS (normally) just preserves UIDs between the two systems. So, if your UID is 2 on the client, you need access to the files as that UID on the server (whether or not 2 is a real UID on the server). Read the section on user ID mapping in the man page for exports on your server. In my experience, you basically have two feasible options: 1) On the Internet Tablet, add the user to a group which can be set as the group for the files you want to access. So, for example, if your normal GID on the server is 1234, create a group to match it on the tablet (addgroup --gid 1234 mygroup). Then add the user account to that group (adduser user mygroup, and reboot for it to take effect). Then make sure that group access is the same as user access for the files you care about (chmod -R g=u /directory/you/care/about). 2) If you control the server, you can set the all_squash, anonuid and anongid options to map all accesses from the tablet to your account (see the example for /home/joe in the man page). I actually switched to using sshfs for access to my home directory from my tablet for this reason among others.

As best I can tell, it seems GPE uses OpenSYNC, but I'm not sure. OpenSync supports synchronising many devices, including GPE running on various systems as well as the KDE PIM applications. Does anyone sync their apps on their Nokia with any Linux (and preferably KDE) apps? Are you using GPE? If not, what is recommended? Yes. I do that every night, automatically. I don't use a calendar or to-do list, but I would like to sync my contacts and notes back and forth. I'm looking into just using a Perl program and scp to sync data. I figure in some cases it'll be easy to copy a file back and forth and change the format, but often full sync features in programs take care of other issues, such as comparing what has been added on both ends and making it easy to decide which one to accept and, to be honest, that's just a pain to program. If someone else has done the work, I'd rather use that. I recommend using Opensync as far as you can. It already deals with important issues such as handling changes from both sides and it is in active development with many improvements being worked on -- so you will get the benefits of these improvements. Unfortunately, GPE does not include a Notes application. The 770 has its own notes application and it would be possible, in the future, to add support for that to gpesyncd, the GPE synchronisation interface. But, it does not exist today so Opensync cannot synchronise Notes with the Internet Tablet. What I do is I use Opensync to synchronise my KDE notes to local files (on the system that KDE runs on). Then I have a script which extracts just the text from those files and copies it into the Notes directory on the 770. This is, of course, just a one-way sync: any changes on the 770 side get discarded in this process (which is all I needed -- I don't change the notes on the tablet). Two-way sync would require converting the notes on the tablet from the Nokia pseudo-html format into VNOTE format for Opensync to synchronise to KDE. Are three any guides to apps I can use that sync with KDE PIM apps? (I've Googled and come up short.) Are there recommendations for any apps to use that have the sync tools built in? I've used GPE, OpenSync, and Evolution, but I know there are K-app sync plugins for OpenSync and so I'd imagine with just a little experimentation my instructions would apply. http://cleardefinition.com/page/Sync_Evolution_and_GPE_on_N800/ is the link (don't be fooled by the name - It should work on a 770 just as well). The step you'd need to change is in *Set up MultiSync-Gui/OpenSync on Desktop*, 4. Add Member, Evolution 2.x. From what I see on the OpenSync web page, you'd select kdepim there. (This would sync calendar, todo, and contacts, I believe - make sure that you choose to compile the kdepim plugin if you build OpenSync yourself.) I recommend using Ryan's guide in order to synchronise contacts (and calendar and todo's if you used them).

You are probably best posting this to the GPE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see http://linuxtogo.org/mailman/listinfo/gpe-list ). You are right that there should be an easy way to do this, particularly for a one-time import (for ongoing synchronisation Opensync is the right answer, see below). 1. When I install libgpevtype-0.17 gpesyncd will work but then the contacts app will not start anymore. I then have to uninstall libgpevtype after uninstalling contacts and calendars. You need to have the correct version of gpesyncd for the version of gpe-calendar and gpe-contacts: some major changes happened to the database format and also to the library usage. The versions in SVN are consistent but unfortunately, as the necessary packages are spread across two repositories it is hard to be sure that they are correctly synchronised. 2. With gpesyncd installed I can get the command options to work however I'm at a lost as to how to correctly use them. I haven't been able to find any documentation. There is always the code! :-) If you plan to use it locally (for example, from a script), invoke gpesyncd with no command line options. The useful commands are then uidlist vcard (which lists the ids of all currently loaded cards), get vcard id and add vcard BEGIN:VCARD. Note that in the add command the BEGIN:VCARD must follow on the same line and gpesyncd will read more lines until it finds the matching END:VCARD. gpesyncd will only load one VCARD with each ADD command. If you have multiple cards to load you need to split them into separate commands (just insert add vcard before each BEGIN:VCARD). If gpesyncd reports errors loading any of your vcards I would be interested to hear -- preferably by entering a report in the GPE bugzilla http://bugs.linuxtogo.org/ So doesn't anyone have a process laid out for importing multiple vcards into the GPE apps.
