Yeah I've seen that and other web sites, but it looks like there is no magic wand out there.

Re: [HOWTO] N900 WiFi Hotspot (shell script version)

Trying to connect to the N900 with an Android phone, I don't see honeypot in the list of Wifi networks near me. I ran the script as is, and it reported no problems.

Re: N900 viable daily phone or is nostalgia clouding my memory?

As a daily driver, it has failed me repeatedly by losing messages - a known issue when multiple messages come in. Recently, too, I've lost all the data in MyDocs...

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake

It works! The trick was too delete ...opendune/data.cfg, owned by root. I don't know if it was me or the previous script that put it there.

Everything takes time... and spice.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake

Just to clarify, is it a new install or it's been working fine for years?

Nope, doesn't work. It shows the downloading Dune II data files progress bar, but then the popup window says it could not install.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake

(it's not there before I attempt an install, and it's not there after the faulty install)

Then during...

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake

I tried starting it after a long time. It worked ok on my N900 before, but now it wouldn't. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the installation said a package called bzip2 was missing.

Re: N900 vs. copier/scanner

Re: N900 vs. copier/scanner

The scanner didn't have a prompt for safe removal. It only said not to remove while it was saving the file; I don't know if I waited 30 seconds after it was done saving.
