I installed but no icon on the desktop. It installed a desktop file and icon file in the correct place but nothing is displayed. I had the same problem and it took me a while to find out that in /usr/share/applications/battery.desktop changing the line Categories=Application;System; to Categories=Application; makes the icon apear (at least for me;). also have a look on http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1718 in case of python (pygtk) errors... I have no idea what's about the system category icons, if/when/where the should show up. in my Om 2008.8 setup I have two more such system desktop files: assassin.desktop qtopia-clock.desktop any hints on the desktop icon/category stuff ?

You shouldn't need to do anything special to make it charge from your laptop, assuming you're using a new kernel, unless you're hitting a new bug. Forcing fast charge mode worked around bugs in older kernels, but is now mostly just a dangerous hack for strange/broken hardware setups. I'm charging mine via a laptop usb port as I type this, and didn't force a charging mode. The included 1000ma charger is faster, but the laptop also charges the battery. -Rusty ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Battery Charge Solution(Not)
I attempted to install the two solutions to the Neo FreeRunner not charging when connected to a laptop or car charger. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Forcing_fast_charge_mode Even though both sources can easily handle a 500ma charge. The first one that is packaged up http://hdr.meetr.de/neo/openmoko/battery/battery_0.20080721_armv4t.ipk I installed but no icon on the desktop. It installed a desktop file and icon file in the correct place but nothing is displayed. I attempted to try to run the program in a terminal window but the keyboard is ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS! Thats just an exercise in frustration. I installed the Power Center solution copy Power Center into /usr/bin and chmod u+x /usr/bin/power_center copy Power Center Desktop fileinto /usr/share/applications but it crashes when you run it. If I can't charge the phone with a car charger or computer usb port its worthless.
