I can't find xterm. Is there an alternate repo?

Yeah, the bluetooth bug I submitted was fixed... but not being able to browse the internet or update the software list is a major showstopper... :mad:

It was discussed here a while back. The settings via the new icon weren't pervasive, and the behavior was flaky. For instance, if bluetooth was off it is supposed to be turned on when you select a phone for internet access-- and it didn't always happen. Right now it appears my complaints were solved... I just have new ones...

EDIT: I can now browse the internet using my phone, and Application Manager can now refresh.

It appears that one or more installed apps interfered with the connection: rdesktop, VNC Viewer, or a vpn app custom designed for a certain company. I suspect the latter and will troubleshoot.

I don't understand why information is being withheld - the changelog should be more detailed, and should cross-reference with bugzilla where appropriate. We're raising bugs on behalf of Nokia, and Nokia isn't able or willing to tell us if these bugs are fixed or not - it's ridiculous.

If the changes and cross-reference information isn't available, that's simply poor project and defect management on Nokias part.

If Nokia believe there is a competitive advantage to be gained by witholding such information, they are wrong.

EDIT: Not having a go at Texrat, I appreciate you aren't in a position to divulge this info. This is a general flame at Nokia :)

Mil, anything I relate or don't relate is specific to ME, NOT indicative of the company as a whole. I can't speak for what the "main guys" do or don't do-- I also don't make assumptions on what I can release, either, without having very specific directions or reasons.

EDIT: lol, just saw YOUR edit. :p

Question: How do I go back to a default sources.list without xterm? It took me three days to find the dependencies for *VIM* (not xterm). They were contained in the Minimo installer, and now I cannot get Minimo up. Ugh.

EDIT: It appears that the Ruby and Minimo repos are down. Could be the firewall here at work. Found xterm, and that workd brilliantly.

In terms of media player:

Still doesn't play or recognize ogg files -- no surprise there.

Finally recognizes my xvid files and tries to play them -- but fails miserably. The xvid files are 320x240 with 128 cbr mp3 audio and were converted with 75% quality via autogk. They play beautifully on the sharp zaurus BTW.

Another complaint is that seeking (skipping through file) doesn't seem to work with video files that are otherwise playable.

@ nathan

open the application manager -> menu -> tool -> application catalog...

you can then manually enter each repos details

I agree, the video update didn't seem to do much to solve the problems people were having. Perhaps if NOKIA would publish some specs of video that *will* play on the n800 we could all step up and test those settings (AVI, 3GP, DIVX, etc.?; 200kbps?, 700kbps?). I have a 4 year old Palm device that plays movies smoother than this.
