Re: [maemo-users] Flash to 2006 trouble
Cooking! I took my 770 to another part of my LAN and tried it on two other access points: a Belkin and a Motorola. Both worked! They allowed pings, SSH into the 770, and apt-get update. With a real keyboard and big display, I got everything else straightened out in pretty short order. Got all the myriad repositories installed in my /etc/apt/sources.list. Installed doom. Couldn't figure out how to use dropbear ssh client, so I installed OpenSSH which worked well, both server and client. Re-installed OSSO-Term, which then worked for the first time; with repositories, it loaded some dependencies. In short, EVERYTHING works as hoped/expected. All this due to an apparent incompatibility between the 770 and my DLink DL-514 wireless router (being used only as an access point). Is there a compatibility list somewhere that I should post to? Given this information, can anyone guess what is wrong between the DLink and the 770? To re-state the problem: with the 770 and the DL, browsing worked, but apt-get update, ping, and ssh did not. The DL has given no such trouble on numerous laptops. My current (minor) hang up is trying to invoke esc and ctrl keys. Any help on that? Poking around the Maemo file structure, I didn't find a syslog; is there such? I have a 2gig memory card on the way and look forward to loading it up. Can anyone give me any guidance on adding radio stations to the radio playing feature? Thanks for all patience, suggestions, and considerations! -- Willie, ONWARD!

I guess not, it is clearly not working for me. I'll try manually entering some other repositories. Thanks for pointing me toward the complete repository list in the wiki. If I just had a term, I could probably get it going. Even better, if I could ssh into the 770 and use a real keyboard. Is there some documentation that I've failed to find? I don't think so. If the documentation provided on the maemo wiki is not sufficient, maybe you can add a sentence or two after you've figured things out? I will. IF I ever get the thing figured out. I REALLY didn't expect this stuff to be so troublesome. Yeah, if we had something like Ubuntu's universe repository, that could be enabled by checking an option somewhere in the application catalog, and all popular 3rd-party apps lived there, things would be much easier. I could deal with the scattered packages in scattered repositories. I was speaking of the trouble I've had 1) getting a term up 2) getting ANY packages installed and working 3) getting access to repositories. Wouldn't it be nice.. if there were a flashable image that had term, mc, and ssh built in. -- Willie, ONWARD!

Re: [maemo-users] New user woes
I didn't get a reply to this the first time, so, I try again. I've been roaming the countryside and detecting access points with my 770 and it occurs to me that a directional antenna would be useful. Any one have suggestions on connecting an external antenna? Or maybe a reflector that would increase signal strength and still allow physical access to the 770? I haven't had much time to sit down and play with my 770, so all the questions below are still outstanding. Though I've resolved to flash to the new image. When time allows. Someone asked about installing packages; I've been downloading to an internet connected computer, then copying via USB over to the 770's RSMMC card, then installing from the memory card. Is that a reasonable or best way? If I ever get to the point where I can SSH into my 770, then it might be more convenient to download directly to the 770.
