Re: USB Control in Diablo

Desiderius, I had some difficulty in getting it to work, though it was quick to get working. Specifically, I had to remove and reinstall both those components in order to get it functioning. I made a text file of the process in order to remind myself in case I ever need to do this again, and pasted it here:

to get usb control, I had to download two different items. One was from the n800's application manager, named "maemo-control-usb" and the other was named "usb-otg-plugin" from maemo garage, https://garage.maemo.org/, (interestingly, the only search that allowed that app to come up was by typing in: "usb-otg-plugin" and nothing else would bring it up. Direct url is "https://garage.maemo.org/projects/usb-otg-plugin/"

After both were installed, it still didn't work until I removed and installed both of them a second time, with the "counterpart" installed, (so with them both installed, first remove and reinstall "maemo-control-usb," but not "usb-otg-plugin," then remove/ reinstall "usb-otg-plugin" with "maemo-control-usb" in. I don't know why, but it worked after that. An odd dependency problem?)

Good luck,

Joe

Re: USB Control in Diablo

I've just installed diablo on n800 and trying to get USB. The Gui is driving me mad,
so I'm resorting to the command line (using SSH from my PC.)

Code:

# apt-get install maemo-control-usb                                                      

...

maemo-control-usb is already the newest version.

#  apt-get install usb-otg-plugin

...

E: Couldn't find package usb-otg-plugin

Similary could not find usbhost or usbcontrol. All repositories enabled in GUI.
/etc/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

Code:

deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/ diablo user

deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified/ diablo user

deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/updates/diablo-1/ ./ 

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ diablo free non-free

deb http://browser-extras.garage.maemo.org/browser-extras/ chinook browser-extras

Anything missing?
After an "apt-get update" there is still a problem:

Code:

# apt-get upgrade                                                                        

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

The following packages have been kept back:

  libdb4.2 libxml2

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

Why would they be held back?

Whats the "proper" way to get USB host control in Diablo?
