SkypeOut costs in fremantle
Hi all, Since now we have in N900 this beautiful contact list with the ability to choose between mobile operator vs Skype/SIP VoIP for calls, wouldn't it be great to know how much the last call was in $$ equivalent along with the current call duration time? It is available in desktop Skype. What do you think, is this enhancement worth to be added to maemo bugzilla? -- Sincerely, Eugene ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

N900 Users
So those of you that have one, what do you think of it? It is always nice to hear from actual users. Is the software on it complete, or is it crippled like previous systems? I am curious as to such things as the address book, calendar, to-do list, even the native email client. Any other interesting finds with the N900? Was it worth the price, and are you using it as part of a carrier service, or not? ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: N900 Users
I changed 0.5 h after I got it from my Nokia E75, I can't go back. I think it is the best device I had have. It is so great, I love it. Big big improvement since Nokia N810. Of course Maemo 5 and N900 will be improved during the time, Nokia made this clear. But I think it is good enough for me, it is even better than I thought. One thing I would like to see soon is support for PIM synchronization with Mac OS X.

So far I've achieved partial success: * insert SIM card into the N900 * get online * connect the N900 to the laptop with a USB cable * on the N900 open a root shell and run ifconfig usb0 10.20.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up dnsmasq -i usb0 -a 10.20.10.1 -I lo -z -d -x /var/run/dnsmasq.usb0.pid * on the laptop run ifconfig usb0 10.20.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up echo 'nameserver 10.20.10.1' /etc/resolv.conf So far so good, but without iptables I cannot make the N900 do network address translation. I've also installed openssh-server on the N900 and used ssh -D 1080 r...@10.20.10.1 from the laptop to get a SOCKS5 proxy on localhost, so I can get online from my laptop, but that's a rather inconvenient partial solution. Also, I'd be happier if I could do this without cables (i.e. over wifi or usb). This was supposed to say or Bluetooth. I wish I hadn't missed the unsupported Bluetooth profiles talk at the summit... I've had partial success with wifi, after installing wireless-tools from the fremantle tools repository (it's also in downloads.maemo.nokia.com): ifconfig wlan0 down # otherwise iwconfig mode says device busy iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc ifconfig wlan0 up # otherwise iwconfig essid times out iwconfig wlan0 essid n900 ifconfig wlan0 10.20.30.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up dnsmasq -i wlan0 -a 10.20.30.1 -I lo -z -d -x /var/run/dnsmasq.wlan0.pid Trouble is, every 10 minutes the device does a wifi scan or something and shuts down the hardware. I have to walk over to the n900 and wake it up manually by doing ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig wlan0 essid n900 which is a big pain. Any way to temporarily tell icd that it shouldn't touch wlan0 for a while? A much more troubling thing is that after you do this wake-up call twice, the n900 ups and reboots. Exactly 11 seconds after the second wake-up call, I've got ping logs to prove it. Also, I want iptables.

[90600.794433] iptable_nat: no symbol version for struct_module Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. This could be because the SDK has kernel sources of version 2.6.28-20093908+0m5, and my device has kernel 2.6.28-20094102+0m5. Any idea where to find the appropriate sources? GPL requirements etc., they ought to be out there somewhere. FWIW I'm following the instructions at http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Kernel_and_Debugging_Guide/Maemo_Kernel_Guide, but it seems that those are a bit outdated (maemo-sdk-rootstrap_5.0beta_armel.tgz? EXTRAVERSION=-maemo2?). I would appreciate any feedback from people who have tried building kernel modules with the final SDK. Marius Gedminas -- We're sysadmins.
