Re: N8x0's in 2019!

Alas, my n810 has separated into two pieces, although it still runs if held together by a rubber band.

I still remember when I first read the ads for the N810 ten years ago -- the Nokia Internet...

Re: Do you still use n8x0 in 2015 ? How ?

My daughter uses it for playing music in her room and taking notes. Alas, it's starting to come apart. We have a rubber band wrapped around it to keep the top & bottom halves together. :-)

Re: "The Buffalo Fiasco" Intiative (wow... that sounds cooler than I intended)

Re: Jolla Sailfish Is stunning! Now on video!

Thanks, Addison. I updated the wiki doc. I suspect that info will come in handy for me as well.

Particularly if you add a memory card, it makes a good "MP3 player with benefits". Podcasts. Gnumeric for spreadsheets. Opera Mobile for rudimentary browsing. Games. Terminal. Python. Can you get...

Re: The Sotiris Makrygiannis (@melsop74) Appreciation Thread

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available

Many thanks, auouymous. I will offer to test your work (particularly since it sounds like it can be readily uninstalled without reflashing in case of a problem).

That's right. I've delayed installing ASUI for this very reason -- to try to better isolate this problem.


Doing "systemui" or "systemui restart" from the terminal gives me an error message. But...

Re: Nemo with new UI and apps!

We went through this same discussion when Mer had its big run for the N8x0 and then the N900 (before MeeGo was announced). The answer we got back was that Mer would not get its own forum until it...

Thanks. I'll see if I can identify a pattern (it's certainly not obvious that it is caused by rebooting). Re: the workaround, perhaps others have mentioned this but, for those who use Personal Menu,...

It is, as long as you work around the design flaw. If you just pop it into your Internet Tablet, it might not have a good enough connection to the leads & your tablet might not turn on at all or...

Re: [Announce] Necrolongplayer Audioplayer [Necroplayer Hack]

I ran "apt-cache showpkg gstreamer0.10-plugins-good" on my N810 and this package apparently comes with the firmware. Skype has it as a dependency, so I'm assuming it uses it. Perhaps the Media Player...

Re: [Announce] Necrolongplayer Audioplayer [Necroplayer Hack]

It would be great if the proper dependencies could be added to the package, or perhaps an error message if gstreamer is needed or not detected, or perhaps a message that fires off when the package is...

Re: Brainstorm: Porting maemo to other devices instead

Actually, I would steer you to Mer. Mer just got rebooted a month or so ago as the future of community-driven MeeGo Core. The Cordia UI is based on Mer. The KDE folks' Plasma Active user interface...

Re: [Announce] SymPy, Integral, Derivative and Limit - CAS for Maemo 4 (Diablo)

Success!

I uninstalled Integral, Derivative, & Limit. According to PackageView, python2.5-dev was still present at this point. I'm not sure about sympy -- it may have been automatically removed by...

Re: [Announce] SymPy, Integral, Derivative and Limit - CAS for Maemo 4 (Diablo)

Re: [Announce] SymPy, Integral, Derivative and Limit - CAS for Maemo 4 (Diablo)

Strangely, I still have the problem. I don't appear to have python2.5-dev installed yet; that is, it does not appear in the PackageView program.

Here's what I did. I ran the Application Manager,...
