With my N800 connected by USB to my desktop Windows machine, the Windows machine couldn't see the internal card. I got an error message to the effect that the internal card was in use. I finally removed the virtual memory that I had set up on the internal card, and immediately my Windows machine could see it via USB. Apparently, so long as you have virtual memory set up, the internal card is "in use."

I've gotten the same error in Ubuntu but i didn't have virtual memory enabled. I just reboot the n800 and then i can mount it fine. I'm not really sure whats accessing the card/cards at the time.

I've only connected mine to a PC for flashing. I use SSH + FTP for sending / receiving data, so there's never an issue with if a card is in use. And, I don't have to fumble for cables or even for the Nokia for that matter as long as it's wireless is active.

Then again, I don't run Windows. :-P

Would you mind showing me where you found the ssh client for the N800? I'd love to be able to use ssh on the N800 to connect to my Fedora Core box.

Thanks!

Start application manager, make sure you have maemo and maemo-extras repository (bora) defined in your repositories catalogue, then enable red pill mode (http://maemo.org/community/wiki/appl...rredpillmode/), scroll down the list of installable apps down to "ssh" and install it (includes server and client). You should then ssh root@localhost with passwort "rootme" and, as you guess now, change the root password and configure ssh as usual.

Aah, Red Pill mode... Welcome to the Real World!

Thanks much for the information. I now have ssh on my N800. I'm psyched!

Just one question. Is there any side effect by changing the root password? I take it no built-in features assume the root password is always "rootme"?

No, no side effect at all. You can also safely set a password for the standard user "user" by "passwd user". Again no side effects. For the ssh deamon you should forbid login as root (as usual). Seems we are off topic here - sorry.

Thanks for the excellent advice. I created a password for "user" so I can ssh in from my home PC. Transferring files to the N800 is now a whole lot easier!
