The new claws mail has loaded for me on 2008 n800. I used it loading the available app list after the repository was added. When I tried using the link provided in the anouncement I received errors to those previously reported.


canoe from http://maemo.lancode.de/?path=./binary-bora
is also working for me under 2008. I am not able to update the Wiki. It won't let me log in. I am working from my desktop system.

There are also themes there with smaller point fonts.
http://maemo.lancode.de/?path=./themes-chinook

That is really odd. I wonder if it's turned off for jr. members?

I added the themes link to the wiki. I didn't add canoe, though, I don't know where it should go. What is it? I couldn't find a description and maemo wouldn't load it's canoe page.

canoe is a file manager like gpe-filemanager but what I like about it is that it just a menu selection away to view hidden files.

With the latest python update I have some more apps working.

I have tried Erminig, Feedelity, GDataClient, and Kerez from this link.

With Ermining I can now sync my n800 with 2008 with my google calendar,

wifiinfo and DiskUsage from here
http://www.anderenen.de/anderenende/maemo.html
worked for me. I did not try the rest. note: it appears there are typos on the page the repository is called chinook not chinnok as listed on the page.


I am still looking for 2008 versions of
status bar clock
maemoftp
Gnumeric
AisleRiot Solitaire
osso-statusbar-cpu
reverzi

yes yes gnumeric and statusbar clock. can't live a healthy life without the two of them

I just REALLY REALLY want videocenter back. I was using it to download my podcasts for my commute to work.
Right now I'm just using the built-in RSS reader and downloading them that way. It works, but it's a pain to manage.
I tried gpodder but it requires libglade and I heard that glade apps won't be working with OS2008.

The only apps that I really miss right now are:
Video Center
VNC viewer (I used this a LOT with work)

I will be great when they finally get ported!

You can install the repository with a single-click install from here:

I just tried Knips (camera snapshots) from that repository and it works. Someone was looking for a camera app the other day, now there is one.

Unfortunately it is still using very little jpeg compression... files are close to 300KB each for a 640x480 low quality image. IMHO, if the camera can't take good pictures, then at least compress them a reasonable amount (eg. 80% quality brings it well under 100KB) so that they don't waste a lot of space and are more suitable for direct attachment to an email. Edit: Suggestion sent to author.

I was looking at the issue of compiling Xournal for Chinook, because Xournal is one of my preferred apps. It seems that there are a number of gnome dependencies to satisfy, including libgnomecanvas and libgnomeprintui, as well as some other for pdf conversions and for sgml management. I'm in the process of compiling these with the Chinook sdk, but I'm having some problems, mostly due, I'm sure, to my inexperience. I tried to contact Eduardo (aka Etrunko), the guy who first ported Xournal, through his blog, but with no luck.
Now here are my questions, are there any other people interested in Xournal, possibly more experienced than me, for going on together in this project? And, maybe I better wait for those libraries to appear in official repos, instead that doing it myself? Thanks for your advice :-)

statusbar clock fails for me. It installs but crashes back to the desktop when I try and enable it. Does it have any dependencies?

Can't get MPlayer to install from the link in the Wiki - any idea why?

Also, I want to install wget (for Podsync) to install and the bora release can't install. Does anyone know anything about this?
