when i check via terminal, its not there.
when i check on my computer, it is there.

also, sometimes i'm getting completely different folders altogether.

this is how MyDocs originally looked when i copied the file:
http://a.imageshack.us/img571/3571/17126390.png
only 1 folder and the desired file.

this is what i enter in terminal and the error i'm getting:
http://a.imageshack.us/img207/6823/s...0082214275.png
you see i do ls|grep deb but it doesnt show anything, although the file is there.

this is how it looked the second time around i connected to my computer and checked MyDocs for the file:
http://a.imageshack.us/img202/6969/53365743.png
wtf, where did all the stuff come from and where is the deb-file?

then i disconnected, connected again and it looked like in the first picture, saying all the folders are gone again except the .images and the deb-file appeared.
seriously, i'm really pissed now and confused about how illogical everything is -.-

If your phone OS does not see file with such name in that directory it is not there. What I notice on your screenshots is the time .images was last altered. In the first one it is 14.01.2010, on the second - 19.08.2010. Loks to me that you are not checking one and the same location.
You can try run "find|grep deb", this will show you where *deb files are located on your device.

hm. how come?
when i access the device, i'm put into the root-folder.
i go up one level, then enter home, then user, then MyDocs.
this is where i put the deb-file, this is where the magic happened.
i'm not aware of any other home/user/MyDoc folder-path on the n900 than the one i'm using or trying to use.

i tried find|grep deb, but it mostly shows my jpeg-files in ./.thumbnails/cropped/ folder, but no deb-files...

maybe a stupid question, but: does the deb-file for this tweak HAS to be located in home/user/MyDocs? if the phone doesnt know about this folder, why not try it from somewhere else?

btw, when i go the home/user/Mydocs in terminal and do ls, i get the folder-structure of the third picture, not the one seen in the first picture, where i put the deb-file.

*sigh*

Not sure what's going on there, but..
put the deb in /root (that's the directory /root, I don't mean /), then open terminal, type root then cd then dpkg -i h (press on screen tab or CTRL I)

that did work!
thank you very much MohammadAG!
and thank you zlatko for being so patient with me! :D

/edit: installing this replaces any custom transition.ini files! i had to put the custom one back again.

hildon-desktop devs' decision, not mine, I would use a file in /etc for the transitions, might patch that.

edit: actually, that might break a lot of instructions on the forum, though it's very easy to change
#define TRANSITIONS_INI "/usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini"
#define TRANSITIONS_INI_FROM_THEME "/etc/hildon/theme/transitions.ini"

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 
imo we should have specific test repo for this kind of stuff. Too many people in this thread are installing this and they do not clearly have no freaking idea what they are doing expect filling thread with questions that should not be even asked. By this i mean that if you start installing stuff outside official app manager and official repos you should be prepared to stuff like xterm and flashing without asking.

Thank you MohammadAG for this fix and for me it works nicely. Those oulook sync failures look bit troublesome so lets hope that we can test this package properly after you put that repo up. Maybe big fat warning to fist post should be okey and keep away people that should not test this. Thanks.

If you connect your device in USB mass storage mode, the MyDocs partition gets unmounted (on your device), so it can get mounted on your computer. If you then try to access your MyDocs, you won't see files. If you copy files to MyDocs (on the device or via SSH), they will be masked away when MyDocs is re-mounted. You can access them again on the device while it is connected via USB or when manually mounting/umounting MyDocs. You can check whether MyDocs is mounted or not with the command "mount" (if there is an entry for it, it's mounted - otherwise it's not).

Where is the source of this GPL package?

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 
After installing this new package I was able finally to get rid from incoming call screen glitch and I can keep my phone app in portrait mode. What I noticed is that when I receive call the status bar(containing battery, signal and other indicators) on top is missing. After I answer the call it appears. As far as I remember it was not so before.
It is not a big deal. I just wonder - is it only me or others with update hildon-desktop package experience same behavior?

A Huge thank you to MohammadAG! Seriously thank you so very much for sharing and helping a huge number of users! For this patch and esp the pulseaudio stutter fix. Many people across the globe appreciate it.

This is the source of Nokia's package, not of MohammadAG's package. The GPL is very clear about what must be done - you have to distribute the source used to build the binary that you distribute.

Already started a community SSU for the N900 which includes new updated packages, details about that later. ;)

Would be nice to include the efforts from here for the Community SSU:

I noticed that i can not play movies from my network drive directly via media player. I can't say it for sure but seems like faster kinetic scrolling broke it somehow.


EDIT: my media player does not play anything at all.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 
Don't blame it on hildon-desktop, I've been running it for about a week now, and no one from the +100 who have downloaded it complained about it.

If you still feel the extra fixes broke something feel free to go back to this PR1.2 package with only scrolling reversed, the call UI glitch and bugs in the current PR1.2 package will of course be back.

I did apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop and movies seems to work fine. I had to reboot.
I'll try to install it again, I'm not sure if I reboot before, after installing your package.


EDIT:
Computers are weird, I'm not sure if they are our friends anymore:)

I reinstal package (one with bugfixes), reboot and media player works fine. Maybe reboot is nesessary? I can't remember for sure but i think it was only diference I did in installation of this package except pinning, but it is unrelated.

Guess this is a perfect moment to release PR1.3 :)

- no wave effect on the application menu

Please don't go off topic, this isn't about transitions, at all.

But regarding the latest change, all themes with custom transitions.ini files will probably have to be updated

I know it's a minor issue but just wanted for you to know. Regards

@hgroove
If you look that file what do you think is bit off?
I would suggest that you remove those duplicate lines from end.

Also remove empty line between package: <empty line> pin stuff. But keep empty lines before package:.

If it doesn't work then i would suggest to rename that file and try again.

Have you installed experimental pulseaudio also? Are you some kind of tester and linux power user?

Actually, he needs to get rid of the empty lines between Package and Pin (see Section 3.10 here).
