Re: new os update is out guys
 

Thanks guys. So it's actually a new build, although not a new version.. presumably it's just that the flash plugin has been updated. Or actually, no. I checked, the flash plugin is its own package: macromedia-flashplayer. apt-cache says it's version 1.20-1. Looking at the plugin itself it turns out that this is still flash 7:

$ grep About /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
About Macromedia Flash Player 7...

So hopefully we can expect more improvements to flash in later upgrades (version 9 is supposed to be faster, isn't it?).

No, just general bug fixes. Sorry I can't say more.

In a manner of speaking, yes.

I hope not, that we are beta or even alpha-version testers ...

But that isn't Linux like behavior! I wish more openness from Nokia!!! :(

Has the new os update improved the "Network Problem" for anyone?

Media Player works great now! I only test my converted movies and they play very very smooth without tearing. before the update, there was tearing and it was laging quite a lot. Now it plays as smooth as on my desktop PC!
Does anyone of you manage do install becomeroot!? I can't f****** find it in the application manager. The repository from maemo.org was added, already, but there is no becomeroot :-S
It was there, before...

Re: new os update is out guys
 

If I remember correctly there isn't a package for becomeroot for the n800 you have to dl the deb from the site directly.. I don't remember the link off the top of my head but its on my blog somewhere.


Quick note... dual boot won't work with the new firmware yet!

Hang on there-- different people have different roles, eg, different responsibilities and levels of access. That translates into varying degress of revelation. Suffice to say my role in the grand scheme of things limits what I can reveal, but I try to help the community within those limits to the best of my ability.

There are others involved with these devices who may or may not be able to say more. If you have witnessed newsgroup dialogs, then you may have seen talk along these lines. I can say the possibility of more open dialog is increasing, at least in consideration.

And don't forget: we're not just talking about linux here-- we're also talking about a proprietary device bearing that mostly-open tool. Sometimes the need to protect the tablet interferes with the customary openness of the OS. That's a tricky area.

I use this repository (it's mistral but works fine for N800):

EDIT: Never mind that - there's an updated link for bora, see posting by authoritative poster on the next page.
