The new keyboard support in last update is very cool. You can swipe between input methods (regular keyboard <-> Swype) by swiping on keyboard area from the edge of screen.

Also in Swype mode you can access browsing keyboard (which has arrows, pgdn, pgup, home, end, etc.) by dragging the lower left button slightly to right. Quite useful.

A super annoying problem with grob is that there's no "Save link as" option and it won't download files with unsupported mimetypes.

As a workaround you can just push the mimetype the browser complains about to
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
that way when you click it in browser it will download to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/

like so:
Perhaps there's a better way, dunno.
it also works to just put the mimetype there without the target, but that might cause problems i suppose.

EDIT: To make it work properly you can also add the mimetype to the proper target desktop file. For example I added
application/debian-package=installui.desktop
to mimeinfo.cache and also to the MimeType list in installui.desktop. Works.

The PR1.1 removed SSH root access, but made 'aegis-developer-mode --relaxed-exec' thing work as it should be from the beginning. I tried to restore the SSH root access by editing /etc/init/ssh.conf which led to a "Device is malfunctioning" state.

Because it took me by surprise and I was unprepared I had no backup at the time. This was the time to try Meego CE to access the files. I actually managed to boot Meego CE kernel and rescue initrd using the files and instructions that you can find here:

Of course after I had access to all partitions I did not backup but instead I tried to hack my way to have root access again. Well aegis was there protecting the device from me being evil and I ended up having to reflash the device...

Aegis was not protecting the device from you being evil. Aegis was there just biting the hand of its owner, like a mad dog.

Pointless indeed.

Why is Nokia dragging its heels with releasing the PR1.1 kernel?

Hi,

Have you seen that fuse was published at :

Real Golf 2011 when copied over from an N9 doesn't seem to work. Output on the console says
which makes me believe it is searching for a specific device. This name is derived from QSystemDeviceInfo::model, which results in a dbus message, maybe it's possible to fake it?

Here's how to get Real Golf 2011 on the N950:

Log in as root
First you need to add the N9 repo to your apt sources, the originals are stored in
you should be able to do
Then edit the n9.list, and change the end of the line from
to
Then you should be able to refresh your apt sources and install the package
If you were to run it from here, it will check your device properties and deny you since you're on different hardware, so we need the sysinfod daemon to report back as an N9. Luckily the sysinfod caches it's results to a file we can edit, we just need to make it writable
Then edit the file
Change the first two lines of values, which originally will be N950 and RM-680 to look like the N9 instead
After this you can run the game as user. You probably want to run it from the terminal for a while, until any apparent bugs get found and resolved
One such issue I've seen is it will complain about the graphics drivers, you need to add some parameters to the driver. Create a new file as
And add the following info to the file
I've played it a bit, and it seems to be working, if you see any issues crop up, be sure and post it here and someone might be able to find a workaround. And be sure to return your changes back, especially the repo, you don't want to inadvertently install any other packages. You can add a '#' in front of the repo deb listing to comment it out.

wow good job! i wonder if the same procedure could be applied to get skype ui on the n950?

Yes, the package name is account-plugin-skype. I haven't seen it on the N9, but it seems the UI piece is just Contacts, with the list limited to those contacts with skype accounts. Chatting looks the same as messaging but with a different set of emoticons
