I thought it was a moderately common arrangement. Or do other folks have the same issue and are just being quiet because they don't have a solution? Keeping quiet because I don't have a solution, but watching in case someone has one :-) For me, the ideal is to have a send-only account on the N800 so I can generate messages when I'm out and about that will be sent when I connect to a network. But I don't normally want to collect incoming messages as I prefer to leave that to my desktop machine. Though it would be useful to be able to enable/disable receiving so that when I'm on holiday I can pick messages up when I find a network I can use. For just a send-only account setting the incoming server to 127.0.0.1 seems to work fine for me. If you open up the main application you get the annoying popups but there isn't much need to do that. If you just compose and send email it stays quiet about it. John ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
N800/OS2008 lingering issues
I have been running OS2008 version 2.2007.50-2 since it was released on my N800 and have two issues that are very annoying. Whenever I hit the refresh application list in the application manager one of two things happens it either hangs downloading or it fails on maemo extras. Retrying some small number of times after the failure results in it succeeding, but it never works the first time. For years I have turned on wifi, started the RSS feed reader, updated all my feeds, turned off wifi, and read the news later. At some point after this OS upgrade, although I don't think it began immediately after the upgrade, when I update all feeds the application dies sometime near the end of the grabbing of images. This is annoying because (1) I have to restart it to continue and (2) since it didn't get all the images it often will try to start the wifi even though with or without the images I just want to read off-line. Does anyone have any ideas about how to straighten either of these problems out? Thanks, John ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I'm thinking the former. This is a software limitation. IEEE 802.1x with WEP encryption is not supported by our current software implementation. It's because 802.1x with WEP is considered lecacy implementation and it's being phased out by WPA and WPA2. this has been unsupported with 770, N800 and N810 products, so it's not a new issue. I think 1/3 of the purpose for getting a N800 has just failed me...sad. Yes, this is very unfortunate and there's nothing I can help you with right now. I'm sorry about this. Oh, I just noticed that I accidentally left out the words WEP encryption from my previous mail. IEEE 802.1x is supported with TKIP and AES encryptions, but not with WEP encryption. Sorry for the confusion. Better not tell that to my N800 running OS2008. I can connect at both home and work, using WEP. With what sort of access point? IEEE 802.11? Those should work fine with WEP.

What security implications are there in ping that would mean it has to be run only by root? Forcing people to use root when not necessary is itself a security problem. I guess ping requires root, because it's not a separate binary but included in busybox. /bin/ping is just a symlink to /bin/busybox, which is not setuid root, for obvious reasons. Others, such as vi and pwd also link to busybox, but can still be run by user. vi and pwd do not require the use of raw sockets.

Someone worked hard to create the object of your ridicule. What purpose does this sort of rhetoric serve aside from likely hurting the feelings of those who created the new theme? Would it be so hard to say I sort of like the old theme better, is there any way to restore that on OS2008 instead? Just a thought ...

There is no such accessory available via the UK Nokia online store, and others outside of the UK have registered similar complaints about their local regional online Nokia store. In short, replacement stylus (770 and N800) are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to order from Nokia. If you were unlucky enough to lose both styli that come with the tablet, what are you to do? :) I often use my fingernail. :) Really, don't you all have about 50 spares of different varieties cluttering up your desks by now?

Re: [maemo-users] rs-mmc and mmc compatible?
On 4/20/06, Hilary Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, I'm looking for a digital camera that will be easy to use with the 770. My first thought was to find a camera that used rs-mmc as a media. Thats been difficult, but can an MMC card fit into the Nokia 770's rs-mmc slot? If it would merely protrude out a little while I transfer the files, I could live with that. Any thoughts? I think you would need to use rs-mmc in the camera too. If you get an mmc capable camera I don't see why it wouldn't work with rs-mmc via an adapter. I'm pretty sure an mmc isn't going to go into the 770 directly. John ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I'll check my notes at home later to see exactly what mencoder voodoo I used to create it. For fun I encoded a 2 hour movie last night using lxdvdrip, mencoder, and ffmpeg. It came out a little over 400MB in size and downloaded via a browser fine. Seems to have good audio sync. I didn't do anything fancy really. After running lxdvdrip I needed to fix the audio to something ffmpeg could handle with mencoder foo.vob -o foo.avi -ovc copy -oac mp3lame and then ran a two pass ffmpeg conversion with ffmpeg -i infile -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp3 -s 352:208 -b 400 -pass 1 outfile.avi ffmpeg -i infile -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec mp3 -s 352:208 -b 400 -pass 2 outfile.avi I think someone else suggested the manner of ffmpeg conversion I used elsewhere.
