Re: installing Debian packages on N810

ext Gary [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Erik Hovland wrote: That is the cause. Flash the updated version of the OS and skype will install without issue. Since maemo is loosely based on Debian, what are the chances we'll ever see an incremental upgrade path akin to an 'apt-get upgrade' instead of being required to flash the device every time a minor release comes out? The chances are quite high. It's the obvious thing to do. I can't make any promises about just when it will happen, but if it doesn't happen this year, I would blame myself personally. I can maybe understand going from 2007 to 2008 but a dot release shouldn't have to be such a hassle to move to, should it? It is tedious to have to reinstall all my other applications in the event that I might want to install something like Skype that requires the latest libraries. And if it's the new app's fault, why can't the libraries be upgraded instead as with any other standard Linux distro? There are at least two points here, and maemo can improve with regard to both: - the libraries could be more relaxed (but still correct) in specifying what dependencies applications should use that link to them, - and we could make newer versions of libraries available to everyone so that applications can drag them in on demand. Newer versions of dpkg-shlibdeps will compute more relaxed shlibs dependencies so that a newer version of a library will only be required when the new features in it are actually used[1]. But even when packages use the most-relaxed-but-still-correct dependencies, we should have a better way to roll out API additions and let applications use them. Right now, when an application needs a newer system library than what you have on your device, you need to upgrade your whole operating system by re-flashing. What is going to happen next is that you still need to upgrade your whole operating system even if you only want a single newer library, but you can do it by installing a bunch of packages from a repository. It will very likely be so that you still need to initiate this upgrade explicitly, but the Application Manager will hopefully tell you very clearly that you need to do it in order to install the application that needs the newer library. The usual way is that apt-get would just upgrade the library along with the application, without making any big fuss about it. I (at least) am not very comfortable with this right now, since it would mean that you get operating system configurations on your device that Nokia has never tested. Yeah, I need to sit down and precisely specify the upgrade computation performed by the Application Manager. Right now, it's not nearly as smart as apt-get or aptitude, but I don't want to just use their algorithms either since they are prone to killing the system by accidentally removing important packages. (I don't really blame that on apt-get or aptitude, I'd say it's more a problem of maemo not telling apt what is important.)

Re: installing skype on N810
BTW, short of Skype being available on the 2008 OS n8xx platform, there is the 'almost free' option to use Gismo project and just phone out whoever isn't on Gismo with minutes you buy for a notch less than 2 cents a minute. I'm not sure how it all works, but apparently according the Gismo web site you can also use the same minutes for video conversations with various messenger services that support video such as Windows Messenger Live (or whatever it's called), if you really want the video option instead of pidgin IM. Twenty bucks gets you 1000 minutes. Not free, but pretty close. Also, the minutes don't disappear at the end of the month... Gary wrote: Marius Vollmer wrote: The chances are quite high.

switching windows
I installed openssh on an N810. I logged into a remote Linux machine, tunneling X, and ran emacs. The window came up on my N810 and I was able to use the remote emacs (the very little that I tried). But I then clicked on the V (i.e. the underlined down caret icon next to the X icon at the top of the - window, which I presume is minimize). And then I was not able to reexpose and reselect the window. While native app windows have icons that appear on the left side of the root window, this did not. And when I click on the icon at the llower left of the screen it popped up a menu of two windows but did not include the remove X window. Is there are way to reexpose/reselect/refocus a remove X window with the default Maemo window manager?
