Re: Full Back-Up with NO Touchscreen or Internet

Ok, turns out I wasn't saving the notepad file properly... easy mistake at 2am!

New problem is that it turns out I WAS correct about the saved WiFi name, the original command I was given on the first page didn't work for some reason, it would just pause for a moment, and then show a blank prompt ready for input...

The command I'm attempting is:

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"Home WiFi" uint32:0

Is that right?

Re: Full Back-Up with NO Touchscreen or Internet

I'm pretty sure the string, where you currently have "Home WiFi" should be the GUID of the connection, e.g. something like:

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"abcd1234-4321-abcd-5678-defa01234321ba" uint32:0

Re: Full Back-Up with NO Touchscreen or Internet

Is there a way to print the output from a command to a text file? I've now had to go back to the

Code:

gconftool --all-dirs /system/osso/connectivity/IAP

command in order to get the proper input for the WiFi connection, however it's skipping past the connection I need, by about 4 - 5 lines.

I tried the 'less' command via an sh script,

Code:

gconftool --all-dirs /system/osso/connectivity/IAP | less

but that came back with

Code:

/media/mmc1/x1.sh: line 1: less: not found

This should work. Look at mine:

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"Home" uint32:0

The extra space in your wifi connection string shouldn't have any impact to the connection, as my 3G string has a space in it.

However, if you're still getting stuck with scrolling of the results of gconf, I guess you can try the following:

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"[ANY]" uint32:0

This connect to the last connection you've made.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I can't click the Thanks more than once, but if I could, I would!

I'm now connected to my WiFi, but can't access backupmenu or x11vnc, as I'm getting

Code:

E: Couldn't find package x11vnc

when I attempt

Code:

apt-get install x11vnc

Re: Full Back-Up with NO Touchscreen or Internet

I'm able to SSH into the phone, is there a way I can place all the files necessary to install x11vnc onto the phone, and install it locally?

May be you don't have the extras-* enabled? Look at mine:

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./

deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 ./

deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/ ./

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free

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

If you've missed the last two lines then you could add them back manually:

Code:

root

echo deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

echo deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

apt-get update

apt-get install x11vnc backupmenu

Re: Full Back-Up with NO Touchscreen or Internet

I've got VNC up and running, but can't connect, I keep getting a connection timed out error of 10060

I did run the command you suggested back on page one, but it still doesnt seem to work...

Re: Full Back-Up with NO Touchscreen or Internet

Since you got SSH works the ip must be right.

What did you type into the dialog box of TightVNC?

Re: Full Back-Up with NO Touchscreen or Internet

Yes, definitely have the correct ip address

when I enter that command after setting up x11vnc, it outputs a lot of text before ending up with text promoting another command to attempt, but theres no input, I'm just typing into blank space
