Nokia n800
I'm wondering, first of all, where all my internal memory is going. I recently flashed Diablo and freshly installed the applications I wanted. The storage details say I have 183.1MB in use, but the data tab shows I have 35.6mb of installed applications, and 807kb of other files. So what is taking up the other 146MB? I only added one email account and have no visible emails in the inbox.

Could it have something to do with the installed catalogs? Also, should I disable or delete any of these for system integrity? The list of catalogs is as follows.
Nokia Catalog
Nokia Catalog(3rd party software)
Nokia System Software Updates
maemo Extras
Chinook Extras
Maemo Extras Development
Maemo extras Chinook
Mikie
maemo Extras
maemo Extras Devel(chinook)---disabled per Xournal install instruc.
FBReader Repository - failed to refresh
Yann Benigot's Repository - failed to refresh

I have MaemoMapper installed and 1.09 gig of maps on the external card. When I use the program, does it cache something somewhere else? Is that where all the memory is going?

And finally, I can't seem to use my internal 8gig card for saving or transferring anymore. The nokia reads files from it, but won't save or transfer anything new. (It's at 3.3GB in use) And if I remember correctly, it worked fine when I first flashed to Diablo, but once all the applications were installed, the problem started.

The last bit of information that may pertain to this, is, for a while after annotating a PDF in Xournal, an "Autosave" box kept flashing in the upper right corner of the nokia and didn't stop until I finally powered it down and took the battery out. (Even when powered down, it would still appear intermittently.) Is there a clipboard somewhere I can clear?

Thanks very much for any of your time. I appreciate the help.

The Operating System is not included in that ~35MB of installed files (i.e. the Linux kernel, the GNU components, the desktop, the media player and associated components, etc.)

If you open a terminal and "cd /" (change to the root directory), then run the comand "du" it will tell you how much data is in each directory on the device - note that this will be a very long list so best to pipe it somewhere with lots of space and look at it on a big screen, it will also take a while to run.

E.g. "cd / && du>/media/mmc1/du_output.txt" or similar


About your internal card, sounds like it might have got corrupted. What does the output of "mount" say? (i.e. we want to know if it's mounted rw - read/write or just r - read-only). If the later, you should unmount the card and run fsck on it, but we'll get to that when we see the output of mount.

I recognize the behaviour of "your" Xournal. It happened to me when I first installed pgms from Maemo in my N810.
On the install-page for Xournal there was this warning to remove a Chinook repository after downloading Xournal ! So I disabled it.
Much later Xournal started to behave strangely, pressure-sensitivity was gone and a textbox "auto-saving file" was hard to get rid of. Uninstalling/installing did not help, but reflashing did. (I never tested taking out the battery.)
Finally I found that this happened after Xournal had asked to and become updated: Another program, Maemo Mapper I think, had on installing reopened this Chinook repository and from that Xournal had asked for the update.
I guess that some old program/module related to Xournal lurked in that Chinook repository, hence that warning to remove it after installing Xournal.
(Did a system file for Chinook overwrite the corresponding file for Diablo?)
