Hey guys,

I thought I'd try Dak's instructions as others had tried them and worked fine. I however... couldn't manage this.

Upon starting terminal now I am greeted with the following:
-sh: /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh: whoami: not found

I thought I would ignore it, and try: sudo gainroot
This returns:
-sh: sudo: not found

Anyone have any ideas what could be going wrong? Was it the edit in the: /etc/profile file? If so, how can I get back to edit it again?

Any help would be very welcome,
Thanks,
Chris

Edit:
All commands that I try to enter give:
-sh: *command*: not found

Edit 2:
I regret turning it off in an attempt to powercycle. It now won't turn on. I think I'm have to reflash. *sigh* I miss my HTC Touch Pro =[

Edit 3:
Reflashed and back to normal! I managed to get Java working in the end, I didn't need to edit the /etc/profile file either. Unfortunately the Java app I wanted to use doesn't work. But ah well,Iit may come in handy if I ever have the need to run another =]

i am looking for a way to run a jar app on my n900

how can jar not be supported. i am trying to run trapster

HOpe this works

Hi, I've been using maemo.org ever since I got my N900, back at the end of December. It really is a more than useful site - vital in some respects for this phone.

However I have never been so stumped as this - what I'm sure is very simple - Java installation.

I first tried the simple guide on nokian900applications.com but it didn't work. I also found it a little confusing. The same then went when I tried the step by step guide on this thread. It is not just that it isn't working, but I feel more me it is missing out obvious and simple things, probably because I'm not techy enough.

In most ways I am not even at "noob" level, but I have been very used to installing and altering things in x-terminal through guides on this website.

Please could someone maybe do what someone else suggested earlier on this thread and do a video? Or even a s-t-e-p-b-y-s-t-e-p slow and laborious process, even like it's written for a spastic.

I really would so much like to get Java working on this wonderful phone of mine. And no, unlike some people on maemo.org, I do not just use this for a phone and maybe a play on a demo version of Bounce.

Regards, Charles


p.s. This is my first post, not only on this site, but on any forum. Does it possibly show...?


Oh, and please don't just link me to another guide on this site, I have searched and done everything I have seen to try.

Why cant some one make an easier way to run java browser. so everytime i wanna open java browser i have to do all these things.

and how is runescape running?

can any1 tell me that what other java apps can be run on n900 using the microemulator ?

Hi,

i succeeded in installing and running java apps on the n900. I was wondering whether it is possible to access the GPS module with java?
Another thing i would like to know if i might have a chance to connect to a bluetooth serial port (Bluetooth SPP)?

Thanks and many wishes

No Java/GPS integration for now....but I'm working on it
