 He wasn't impressed, and I wanted to punch him in the face... But he was
 kind of right. I went to http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/games/

If this doesn't impress him, it's your personal fault you didn't help his
parents to educate him correctly.

 And I thought it was kind of lame (I love my N900).
 
 Is anyone here a moderate to high gamer and has done any nice game
 installations so far? (GOOD GRAPHICS GOOD GAME PLAY ETC, )

Well, of course Angry Birds (I love to play it on the toilett!) or maybe
Bounce Evolution and there was something with a barbarian and cool
3D-graphics I cannot find anymore on the ovi-store.

Or unnethack/vultures...

 can you give me a few recommendations? *other than punching my nephew*

May be you shouldn't forget the punching in case you need a fallback...

 The busybox package might conflict somehow indirectly with upstart and
 apt plans to remove it.  Try this to get different output:

apt-get install busybox upstart

OK, this does not lower the weirdness-level:

Why does dist-upgrade want install/upgrade upstart, when there is no newer 
version?

As far as I know: 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso is = 3:1.6.1.legal-1osso8.

Why can't I install upstart?

Re: Latest CSSU needs PC Suite (WTF?)

 Hi guys what the hell is this about needing PC Suite for CSSU?

I had the same error-message. Try apt-get upgrade in the terminal and fix
the dependencies.

 What kind of Seamless is that?

It is seamless! Just the error-message is bullshit. :-)

Don't worry: This will be fixed with Windows Phone 7.1

 All this nagging is because I am on an Ubuntu machine. I have no PC-Suite.

excluding podcasts from the overview in the MediaPlayer

2010-06-10 Thread Klaus Umbach
Hi,

I use gpodder to download podcasts and listen to them with the regular
MediaPlayer. However it is very annoying to have 100 Episodes of different
podcasts with different Artists in regular list of artists and albums.

Is it possible to tell the MediaPlayer to ignore podcasts in its browser?

  You can configure the paths that tracker scans and ignores by editing
  /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg or install the package
  tracker-cfg which will give you a GUI for editing the tracker
  settings.

Thanks! This makes the MediaPlayer much more comfortable.

 It happened to me, my battery drained in a couple of hours, and I found

Yes, I had the same. The Twitter-Widget is really bad software.

Use Mauku for twitter, it's not that bad.

The comments in the ovi-store speak for themselves.
