Well, as I had kernel power installed first, and never installed the beta usb host mode kernel, and since that kernel features landed in titans power kernel, this is what I did to install usb-hostmode gui. Maybe it's obvious for most people, but for some it isn't. First I installed the i2c-tools from the terminal using: Code: root apt-get install i2c-tools I then downloaded the latest hostmode gui package from here (currently 0.2-3). Put that file on the N900 using usb. Then to get it installed (without letting in the dependencies, host mode kernel, modules and flash) using x-terminal Code: root cd /home/user/MyDocs dpkg --ignore-depends kernel-hostmode,kernel-hostmode-flasher,kernel-hostmode-modules -i hostmode-gui_0.2-3_armel.deb That's it, it will install without errors. Guess we all should be highly aware that this usb host mode feature is still beta, even if it has landed inside titans kernel.
root apt-get install i2c-tools
root cd /home/user/MyDocs dpkg --ignore-depends kernel-hostmode,kernel-hostmode-flasher,kernel-hostmode-modules -i hostmode-gui_0.2-3_armel.deb
for x in kernel-hostmode kernel-hostmode-flasher kernel-hostmode-modules do echo -e "Package: $x Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 1001\n" >> /etc/apt/preferences done
