Paul, I've made the changes but on my N800 there isn't visudo in /sbin. That was one of the first places I checked. Did you install it manually? If so, where did you get it (or did you compile it manually?)? James, thanks for the suggestion! Thanks, Nick. -Original Message- From: [EMA

You are correct - I was root; however, I didn't return the permissions and as soon as I left root, I was hosed. The message immediately let me know that sudoers must be 0444 in order to function. So I basically screwed up - changed the permissions of the file, changed the file, DIDN'T return the

Hi, The battery life of the N800 seems to depend a lot on the applications that are running, I guess in particular when it is idling. The result of this is that the battery indicator can be very inaccurate, telling me it should last for days and it will then die in hours. Ideally I'd like this
