I have had my n810 for about a month now and have been constantly reviewing the forums on this site as well as doing my own google searches on various topics. I am a complete noob to linux, and need help in several areas. Let me just start off by saying you guys rock! You have helped me in unparalleled ways and I sincerely thank you all for your hard word and dedication to the ITT community. With that said, I have always been computer savvy all my life but for some reason I can't get the hang of this linux stuff. Let me remind you I am in no way shape or form looking to develop. I am simply talkin about getting the right deb files and repositories. I have so many questions I don't know where to start. I really love this tablet but am thinking that all this time spent trying to learn linux has been more hassle then fun. I am as dedicated as you folks are and will diligently continue to learn. With that said, I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following?
1) I am aware that the n810 comes with GPS however what is maemo mapper? Is that the same as navcore and wayfinder? Will the map that I have pre installed on this unit suffice or will I need maemo?
2) I am trying to upgrade the IM nokia upgrade but what the heck is red pill and blue pill? Sorry for sounding redundant but I am a newbie to linux and dont mean to ask dumb questions.
3) I tried to install kagu and kmplayer however they start to load but nothing happens? I know I am missing files but which ones? THis is the part that aggravates me the most I know there is a learning curve but everywhere I search I don't understand what files you guys are talking about with all do respect.
This is just a start of my long list LOL I'm hoping someone can help me. Hedgecore where are you? LOL I'm learning but not as quickly as I'd like and still feel intimitated. Can you guys help me?
Warmest regards,
Brian
