This does not seem to exist.  Neither in ~/.gconf2/... nor in
/etc/gconf2/...

Sounds like a plan.  As long as enter the numbers, nothing happens.
Then pressing enter/return, the "Passcode" field gets blanked and the
cursor blinks...

And now, the miracle!  Entering some numbers with the N810 keys and then
repeating those on the BT keyboard resulted in paired devices!  I'm not
sure if I actually pressed enter/return on both devices.

Thanks for all your help!

Thus far, I received advises to go to the Control Panel > Bluetooth.
But in the BT settings dialog no paired device is listed.  If I click
New, my Apple keyboard is found.  If I select it and accept the proposed
passcode, if always failed pairing.

It worked some time ago.

Unpairing BT keyboard?

2008-12-28 Thread Karl Eichwalder
Some time ago, I paired my N810 and a BT keyboard.  Now I've forgotten
the passcode and I'd like to reset the pairing.  Where does maemo store
these setttings, please?  Or is there even a GUI to re-pair the devices?

Me, too (N810 in my case) ;)  The 770 sometimes behave strange with the
2006 system (after booting it restarts several times in a row), but
the hardware layout is beautiful--even today it is already "classic".

What I hate most about the 810 is the keyboard slider--but the crowd
was crying for it...  The built-in keyboard could be useful for some
applications, but the inaccessibility of the scroll keys is cumbersome
for me using mostly maemo-mapper.

Argl, so it was bad coincidence: I added the the Maemo 4 Chinook SDK tools
repository and then I found openssh ;)

I'm wondering from where I acquired xterm (osso-xterm?); I did not
select it for installation but happily it is also available now.
Together with a BT keyboard this is all very nice now :-)

I just went for openssh on my N810 (the same software should work on your
N800, if you run the latest "firmware").  I basically did:

1/ Enable "Red Pill" mode:
http://hildon-app-mgr.garage.maemo.org/redpill.html

2/ Add the Maemo 4 Chinook SDK tools repository:
http://maemo.org/development/tools/

3/ Install openssh using the Application Manager.

I could not get maemo-mapper to work on the (previous?) hacker edition;
I tried maemo-mapper versions, though.  At the moment, I'm running
1.4.7 on the last official Nokia release and it mostly works.[*]

Sometimes it refuses to start.  In those cases, try a again.  It may
take 5 times...  Once a broking tile was laying around and I obviously
have had to remove the downloaded OSM maps.

[*]If the Nokia 770 refuses to do anything, put the cover on it, open
again and disable GPS for the moment.  You may loose the tail of your
track, but then you will be able to save the first part of the track.

Yes, that's what I'm doing right now.  But often maemo-mapper "skips"
quite some pages (I'm mostly interested in level 0 and 1 images).
Maybe, these images are expired and need re-rendering, or maemo-mapper
does not try hard enough and does not wait long enough.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer.  But I'm also still wondering
what the best way to download OSM areas?  I'd like to download the tiles
to my Linux desktop and then copy interesting regions to the memory
card.  Preferably only those tiles that were changed.
