N800 user unhappy with OS2008 upgrade -- are there others?

I finally upgraded my N800 to OS2008 about a month ago. I've gotten used to the new look and feel, about which I'm mostly neutral, but otherwise it has been nothing like what I was promised: 1. The RSS reader is no better able to handle a feed with a hundred entries; my favorite feed falls

1. The RSS reader is no better able to handle a feed with a hundred entries; my favorite feed falls in this class. I don't think the RSS reader will ever be a priority, unfortunately. It's been tagged (as far as I can tell) as a low-importance toy app. That, and there are so many

No xauth data

When I ssh from my N810 to a remote linux machine I get: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Does anybody know what causes this and how to fix it? Jeff (http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~qobi) ___ maemo-users

locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged

task launcher environment

I have installed emacs on my N810. I have a .desktop file that creates a task launcher menu item for it. When I run emacs from osso X terminal and start a shell buffer, it appears to have run my .profile (which sets the PS1, PATH, and RSYNC_RSH environment variables). But when I run emacs from the

fetchmail?

Is email received by a standard fetchmail mechanism? Is arriving email placed in a standard location like /var/mail/user or /var/spool/mail/user? I noticed that the directories /var/mail/ and /var/spool/mail/ exist but they are empty. The reason that I ask is that I would like to read email with

exim4?

Is mail sent by a standard exim4 mechanism? Is there a mail executable? The reason that I ask is that I would like to send email with emacs/rmail instead of the native maemo email app. Is that possible? If so, what needs to be done to enable that? Jeff (http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~qobi)

Will anything break if I set umask to 0077 in .profile? Jeff (http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~qobi) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

launching a duplicate window with the task launcher

If I already have an osso X terminal or a web browser running, how do I start another one. The task launcher just exposes the existing one. Ditto for the web browser. Jeff (http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~qobi) ___ maemo-users mailing list

extra blank line in shell buffer

When I run a shell buffer in emacs with the busybox shell, I get an extra blank line after every command that I type (before the output of that command). This doesn't happen with other shells in other Emacsen on other platforms. How do I cause that not to happen? Jeff

Does the busybox version of ls have anything like the -F and --color options? Jeff (http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~qobi) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Is there an equivalent of the internal PC speaker? What handles Xbell() or beep()? Is there an equivalent to the softbeep package? Jeff (http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~qobi) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org
