Browser goes to google search instead of going to URL ??
Dear Experts, I was happy maemo user (since system 2008 on Nokia N810, and now I use N900) till recently when I re-flashed my N900 device. After I re-flashed the device with the latest system release, I have noticed that I can not give the browser URL. Namely, instead of going to the URL which I type in the location bar, the browser takes it as a search string and does google search on it. Does somebody know how can I make the browser do what the browser is supposed to do when it is given a URL? My complains about this behavior: 1. If I give the URL, I know what I'm doing, I don't need search, I do want browser go to given URL. 2. I do not want my devise to visit google servers at all, I do use different searching engine, and I have my reasons for that. One more - off the topic - question: am I the only one who gets mad because of this behavior of the web browser? Some time ago Unix sysadmins were joking about Mac OS: you need to trick it to do something you want. Maemo - well, it's default web browser these days - seems to part Unix like systems which do what you tell them to do and shifts towards the need to trick to do what you want it to do systems. Sorry about little rant. I guess, I was too pleased with maemo for too long in the past... Thanks for all your answers!

Re:
I admin a bunch of servers, and on mail lists on one of them any of list admins kick list user out for sending bogus messages or ad to list and ban person from future subscription. Just a thought.

Re: Postgress on my N900
Wow! This is a heavy weight one. I wouldn't dare to run it on pocked device... But maybe I'm wrong. My wild guess would be: you don't have enough RAM even to start it. To check how much RAM it requires just to load into memory itself and its arguments (and reserve space for data residing in RAM) you can run unix command size (or its equivalent on maemo) on the binary. E.g., this is what I get for postgresql on one of my servers: size /usr/bin/postgres textdata bss dec hex filename 2974897 45216 415136 3435249 346af1 /usr/bin/postgres which says that you need 3.44 MB just to start it successfully. You may have to multiply that by the number of postgres processes (which I'm sure is configurable) that you allowed to be started. Let us know what you find out. Good luck!

I do it by: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -l mylog.log Any Ideas on why this might be happening? Has anyone try to install mysql or postgres on the n900? f(t) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Any news on N9 release?
googloids/androids have a big chunk of kernel which is closed source, and it is nowhere documented/published what it does on your device. So, neither of googloids are open source, for that reason I also exclude these kernels from my list of linux kernels.

Linux kernel is only half the story. If I understood the explanation given to me some time ago, Android is very restricted in the sense of the APIs available to the developer. You don´t have X11 or other things you expect on a Linux system, at least without deeply hacking into it which most end-user consumers won´t do.

Re: Is it possible to change IMEI dynamically n900?
Interestingly: You being concerned of spying on you are using google mail account which is of all of them most... anyway, do your own research on that. ;-) But that is great question!!

Re: cellphone tether works from N810 but not laptop
Hi Andrew, Fedora 9 in awfully old... Try boot off live CD with latest Fedora (17). If Fedora 17 behaves, it may be lime to upgrade system on laptop ;-) Good luck!

If I have a good signal, I can use the packet data interface on the phone itself, or on the N810 via Bluetooth to get an Internet connection. But the laptop does not always work. Close to a tower, if I use the cable and select 'PC Suite' mode on the phone, the Gnome network app shows a wireless connection and syslog talks about ttyACM0 and activating my connection. Further away from a tower, the connection does not show in the app and syslog says 'ignoring due to lack of mobile broadband capability' I had naively thought the two devices used the same capability on the phone. Does anyone know what the problem is, and if it's possible to get a connection on the laptop at greater distance ? -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: viber.com
Hi Andre, There is nothing to add to what you said. I just noticed that it is just newly started competitor for long existing and working well om maemo/n900 skype which I personally don't switch from to any other yet another skype like also free service.
