Skin engine related change:

The default skin works just fine. So you could "diff" the previous version against the current version to see the changes.

Please be more specific or ideally file a bug at rockbox.org.

I guess you are refering to the new spacing in the menu lists to be more touchscreen friendly. This is a configuration setting you can disable in

Settings > General Settings > Display > Touchscreen Settings > Line Padding in Lists.

Just switch it from "Automatic" to "Off" if you are annoyed by this.

HTH,

This is what home shows [attachment].

sdcard (/mmc) shows its subfolders fine, as does any other folder I checked. So I'd guess something could be wrong with partition. I experience no instability/faulty device otherwise.

Thanks for the screenshot. There are two easy ways to trace this down.

1. Start rockbox as root. May be it's a permission issue.
The binary is located in /opt/rockbox/bin/rockbox.

2. Install strace and capture the rockbox output.
Example command:

Code:

strace /opt/rockbox/bin/rockbox 2>&1 |grep -v clock_gettime |grep -v futex

When I enter into /home, the output looks like this:

Code:

open("/home", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 14
fstat64(14, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

Not sure if this was what was meant by messed up theme but just wanted to add in my two cents. My custom skin was not working correctly when i upgraded the app first but I found that all i needed to do to fix it was to remove the '&' symbol before the word stop on one of my buttons. It seems that secondary actions on a button don't need this anymore. instead they use ', repeat_press'. this also applies to ffwd + rwd.

Hope this is of some use to someone else if they're stuck with a messed up theme.

How can the N900 be old story when there hasn't been a new story to replace it yet? ;-)

@thomasjfox: Thank you for your work! I haven't tried this player yet, but I will do so now!

Thx, I did the above mentioned.
The output is: several read-only messages? I can't make chocolate of this. I think I need basic info on rights management.

Ad 1. This fails. Rockbox is present however.

Code:

/opt/rockbox/bin # rockbox
/bin/sh: rockbox: not found

Ad 2. Example command entered. I see Rockbox boot logo for an instance, then it closes down. Output is loong:

Try "./rockbox" if you changed to the directory first.

Rockbox just crashed. Two reasons for this come to mind:

1. Broken configurationd data. Please try this command, it will reset all your rockbox settings + database:

Code:

rm -rf /home/user/.config/rockbox.org

2. Broken or incompatible system library. A reflash might help but IIIRC you tried that before.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hello,

As many comments have noted, the default fonts included with rockbox don't work so well with the larger screens on our n900.

I've converted and resized the font sazanami-gothic to be useful on rockbox for the n900. Specifcally I picked this font due to the fact that it correctly displays CJK characters while looking crisp at smaller font sizes.

Download here:
http://f.xn0.org/18-sazanami-gothic.zip

To install:
Close rockbox if it is running.
unzip and move "18-sazanami-gothic.fnt" to the directoy "/opt/rockbox/share/rockbox/fonts/"
Start rockbox and go to Settings > Theme Settings > Font and select 18-sazanami-gothic.
Done.

This helped. Further, I had uninstalled Nitdroid (N12 on eMMC) and I was able to get it working again. I didn't have to alter the partition or sth.

How this is explained I don't know.
Does anyone have both Nitdroid and Rockbox working properly?
