[maemo-users] HOWTO: fsck + bash on N800?
Hi! Any idea how I can install fsck and bash on my N800? There's no relation between them: I need to check the integrity of my SD cards and I'd like to be able to use .profile and other related files. Any other solutions welcome!

If the responsiveness of your N800 is decreasing, you should try the top command to ensure that metalayer-crawler is not squatting the top of the list! It seems that the crawler can take CPU dozens of secs when large MMC/SD card with a lot of media files is inserted. However, eventually it should stop that activity. In the case where it doesn't stop consuming the CPU, the MMC FAT filesystem has been corrupted. If you get continuous CPU usage from the crawler without FAT corruption (say, after 5 minutes), please add a note about that to the Bugzilla (you might notify the mailing list too). -- Jonathan Greene m 917.560.3000 AIM / iChat - atmasphere gtalk / jabber - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gizmo - JonathanGreene blog - http://www.atmasphere.net/wp ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

[maemo-users] N770/N800 Equivalent to Soti Pocket Controller Professional
All, anyone who has worked with PDA's for a while is probably aware of the outstanding application from Soti Software, called Soti Pocket Controller (SPC). SPC allows the PDA to be controlled from a computer desktop by means of an emulator image of the device that is rendered on the PC display monitor and which accepts mouse clicks and keyboard keys in lieu of the stylus. I uses this product extensively and it is somewhat analogous to having a VNC/RDP capability for the PDA except that a number of additional capabilities are provided (e.g. soft reset/file explore, desktop file sync, etc.). With this tool, I can easily send long SMS text messages without suffering from stylus fatigue. what I was wondering is if anyone is working on a similar tool/capability for the N770/N800 that will run on either a Linux or a Windows desktop OS? -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks GSEC Gold, GCWN Gold, GGSC-0100, NSA-IAM, NSA-IEM serving the digital home, entrepreneurial enterprise, and emerging carrier markets (M) 703 407 2278 (F) 703 620 5388 primary email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] backup email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

No argument here - It seems like the exclusion was conscious, but I can't figure out why. If VOIP is a marketed feature (Gizmo and now Skype) why require us to remain tethered. This is Nokia man, it's not like they don't make their own bluetooth headsets which I am sure could be nicely bundled. It would also be nice if we could get (think it's called) OBEX support built in so you could bluetooth beam files back and forth between phones and computers. The file manager does a nice job letting you browse a bluetooth device (at least my phone) but it's not quite the same thing. Let's hope future firmware updates include enhancements as well as fixes.
