If you want more fonts, you may try installing the ttf-dejavu package. It does not contain "arial" or "times", but contains a serif, a sans-serif and a sans-serif mono font (the whole font family is called DejaVu). For Microsoft fonts, it should be possible to prepare a package from the so-called "Microsoft Web Fonts" which are kind of semi-free, but one must look first into their license very carefully, if it's allowed to re-distribute the repackaged fonts. -- Andrew signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
howto use usb keyboard with latest N810
Hi, apologies for previous incomplete mail ! I have a Nokia N810 running OS2008 version:- 4.2008.23-14 I want to connect my usb keyboard to it. While trying to install 'usbcontrol' from maemo.org/downloads section the application manager gives me this error. "Unable to Install usbcontrol" " Incompatible application package" From what I understand from posts on discussion groups on internet, 'usbcontrol' will not work on latest software release for N810. Is there any other solution to use usb keyboard with my N810 ? regards, Mrukant Popat Technology Consultant Pioneer Electronics Silicon Valley, US ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: R: Can't force display light to stay on forever?
Ah yes, there is a binding in python. I was using display_state_on instead of display_blanking_pause, that was my problem. thanks, owen On Fri, 2008-10-03 at 16:23 +0200, Frantisek Dufka wrote: > Owen Williams wrote: > > Is there a good way of doing this temporarily, for instance while > > playing back video?

Announcing PenguinTV, rss reader and podcast downloader
I've finally finished the port of my RSS/Podcast software, PenguinTV, to hildon and maemo. The big sticking point was how to package python-gtkmozembed support, but I figured that out and now PenguinTV is on extras-devel for testing and comments. If it seems to work for people, then I'll promote it to extras. Where to find it: extras-devel Here's a quick feature list: * 5-year development history, with workarounds for all sorts of malformed feeds * responsive on maemo even with 100 feeds * local image caching, for viewing feeds even when you don't have an internet connection * support for enclosed media, including video and audio * built-in gstreamer media player that remembers playback position so you can exit and restart where you left off * tagging support for quick access to subsets of your feeds * mostly finger-friendly interface, although I could use some help with this * power-management Good Citizen -- no ticking clocks or running threads unless needed -- leave it running all day Here are some problems: * startup time is really slow right now, and I'm trying to improve it. Since PenguinTV is python-based, most of the time is just starting up python and loading all the modules it needs (which is a lot). Another big chunk of time is loading the glade UI. I would appreciate any help fixing this. * feed updating is very slow, but it is steady and it won't peg the CPU. Feed updates are done at priority 15 to ensure that the device remains responsive and doesn't pop up "not responding" messages. * penguintv eats a lot of RAM. not much I can do about this. * gtkmozembed doesn't support finger-scrolling. I don't know how to fix this. Please give it a go and let me know what you think!

Re: R: Can't force display light to stay on forever?
Is there a good way of doing this temporarily, for instance while playing back video? Can I do it in python? Right now I'm telling the backlight to turn on every 8 seconds or so, but even that doesn't really work (sometimes the display goes dim and then pops back). I don't want to temporarily change any configuration files in case my program crashes before it can unset this option. Owen On Thu, 2008-10-02 at 16:25 +0200, Marco Solari wrote: > Thanks!

To see which WM_CLASS your application uses (i.e. does it correspond to what you've specified in the .desktop file), install "x-debug-tools" package[1], do "xprop|grep WM_CLASS" from SSH console and click your application window. Or if you have your application running in Scratchbox, you can use the xprop tool from your Linux desktop[2], just tell it to use your Xephyr display. By default Gtk sets the WM_CLASS to the name of the binary (not script calling it...). - Eero [1] See: http://maemo.org/development/tools/ [2] Depending on your distribution and its version, the package name for that differs, it could be xbase-clients, x11-utils... ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
