Re: Role of maemo i.e. in Re: Fwd: Skype on N800
Am Dienstag 03 Juli 2007 08:02 schrieb Quim Gil: What do you think we should do? Bring the Nokia devices/commercial agenda also here or keep maemo apart from that? We shouldn't make this an either-or black-and-white question. In one hand we are trying to build a maemo community based on the open source software and development interests. We are putting a lot of effort creating a space with own identity and open source friendliness. Not pushing other topics, like Nokia devices or proprietary and commercial applications, is a decision made on purpose not to 'infoxicate' the main purpose of maemo: open source development for the Internet tablets. Now, because of this openness maemo is the easiest entry point for all sorts of feedback that, in fact, haven't got much to do with open source development or even usage. Like for example the Skype launch. An end user can't tell the difference between a maemo issue and a Nokia issue. He/she comes here because they found this list and like mailing lists better than forums. They ask their questions, and I'd really appreciate it if Nokia management people would read it, too (and answer from time to time). Allright, I see your problem. If you answer one question and don't answer an other one, there'll be shouts Ha! Shame on Nokia! They didn't answer my question! and that sort of stuff. But I think end users also have to learn the ways of open source development. They should know that nobody is obliged to answer their questions or to fix the bugs they report. In time, they will learn that even with these limitations, support here is much better than with proprietary software because here they can get into contact with really competent people instead of call center girlies. And for some questions, Nokia officials would be the most competent people to answer them. Do it! In the meantime Tableteer (Nokia official site for end users) has a feedback channel while http://www.womworld.com/nseries/category/n800/ (unofficial but sponsored by Nokia Nseries, I'm sure they read the comments) is precisely about devices end user software hype and coolnessn no matter if it's open or closed as far as it's cool. And let's not forget the Nokia support channels, that (have no doubt) report to the management lines any relevant feedback and complaints. Don't forget the other direction: How do users get feedback from Nokia? I consider this at least as important. If somebody sends feedback and gets no immediate response it is discouraging. Companies always like to collect feedback but are not willing to offer the same in the opposite direction. Does the maemo community have a clear answer to this question? I don't know :-) Personally, I prefer to have things in one place. I don't like searching the internet picking pieces of information from a dozen of websites, forums, and blogs. I'd very much like it if everything that's got something to do with technical aspects of the Nokia Internet tablets would be here on maemo-devel and maemo-users. Mailing lists are the very best way of giving feedback - in both directions. Thanks, Hans ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Bluetooth file transfer
I'd like to transfer files FROM my mobile phone TO my N770 (OS2006). On my desktop, I use obexftp for that. For the 770, I found btxfer and menush in the application catalog. However, I couldn't find out how btxfer works. It has a search button (my phone is found if I click it), a send... button (nothing happens if I select a file and click OK), and an exit button. Where's the receive button ??? For menush, I didn't find a repository where it can be downloaded from. The repository mentioned in the application catalog (http://deb.nopcode.org/) doesn't seem to exist anymore. Is menush still available somewhere ?

What you need is an OBEX FTP server - try installing sobexsrv and configuring it to start when the system starts.

Sorry, my mistake: I thought you were pushing from the phone to the 770, not pulling to the 770 from the phone: it makes a difference if you are initiating from the phone or from the 770. Initiating from the 770 and pulling from the phone should work through the file manager, just go into the Control panel, and select your phone on the Phone subsection. If your phone supports OBEX FTP it should then show up in the file manager. Oh yes! Thanks a lot for that hint.

Reading that thread, I finally found the solution: I simply had to install the mogg package from the repositories and reboot. After that, the standard audio player plays ogg just fine. I tried mogg once but didn't reboot... Anyway, I will never understand why Nokia didn't add Ogg Vorbis support if it's that easy. After all, it's free.

[maemo-users] Bluetooth and GPS
Hi, I'm desperately trying to make my BT GPS receiver work. Current situation is as follows: - The Bluetooth plugin (maemo-bt-plugin 0.4.0-1) doesn't find the GPS. It keeps searching for several minutes until I stop it manually. - I put the ID of my GPS in ~/gps.id, with that gpsdrive works fine, but only for a short time. After a while, gpsdrive reproducably displays Timeout getting data from GPS receiver!. If I switch off the GPS and stop gpsdrive, it works again if I wait some time, but with the same results. I use maemo-gpsd (0.0.1) and maemo-gpsdrive (0.0.3). Firmware is Internet Tablet 2005 software edition 5.2006.13-7. Questions: Does anybody successfully use a GPS for longer than a few minutes? What could be the problem? What can I do? Any hints are welcome. Cheers, Hans ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
