I guess the PIN is stored in CAL area. As you have dualboot, and therefore some way(?) to get root access to the device, it might be possible to recover it. run this program as root: http://austinche.name/maemo/getlockcode from what session? I've not tried to login trough ssh

Re: Resetting the screen lock number on Nokia N8*

The device lock is implemented in software and so if you set it to require the code to boot up and you have no other way to boot up other than the default os, then you'll have to work a bit harder to find an alternative boot strategy (e.g. bootmenu, boot from usb, etc.) Once

Does anyone know if one can disable the shift notifier in osso-xterm ? On the N810, if I maximize osso-xterm and slide out the keyboard, I have the full screen available, which is almost as good as xterm on my desktop. But as soon as I hit a key, it takes about 5 lines worth of vertical to

powerlaunch: complete mce/systemui replacement

powerlaunch 0.7 has now been released. This is the first release with a mce replacement and a goal of having the default install be a drop-in replacement for systemui/mce. Ideally, you should be able to just install the package and see no (or little) noticeable change in

I would really like to be able to encrypt sensitive files on my N800 running OS2008. I looked at Maemo Kcrypt in the Maemo Garage, but it demands some libe which my N800 claims are not available (even tho I do have the repositories installed which should have everything in them necessary)

BTW does anyone know how to generate an ESC character from the Stowaway in such a way that it's passed to the application? The keyboard's ESC *function* (Fn-TAB) pops up the N800 menu, so it becomes impossible to exit text-entry mode in vi, for example. I use xmodmap to fix this

Another issue is rebooting (it does too much and can help to kill your display with 770), this can be solved by modifying startup/shutdown sequence to not to reboot completely (i.e. go to bootloader and load linux kernel again) but to stop everything, go back to initfs and start again

I'll play with powerlaunch.conf in a bit, but asking just for the sake of more discussion in the list: would it work with overlapping profiles? ie. one power key press toggles softpoweroff, but one powerkeypress immediately followed by (ie. in 1500 msecs) another action does something else?
