No files there..., it also references outpo.st.

Does anybody know where I can get the files?

EDIT: Please see this post below, which gives more complete instructions.

yeah you're right. Sorry.

You may be able to still use the instructions located at http://sse2.net/rotate/ with the following debs:

kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200842maemo1rotationfast_all.deb and xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20083801rotation_armel.deb

It has been suggested below that to take the place of downloading and installing osso-software-version-rx34-unlocked_1%3a5.2008.43-7_all.deb, you should gain root and then enter the following in xterm (for n800)

or (for the n810)

According to this, you may need to enable maemo-extras-devel in order to use apt-get install osso-software... But please be careful: if you enable extras-devel, make sure you disable it immediately after use apt-get install to grab osso-software-version. Otherwise, you may be fooled into using not-ready-for-prime-time debs to update your favorite apps, thereby loosing functionality and f-ing up your whole device. Seriously, be careful with extras-devel.

Note: These debs will work only until the next ssu (if that ever comes). At that point we'll need qwerty12 to vouchsafe some new debs.

great these are the same as for the n810.

btw only the missing one is specific for n800 but I read a few posts back that it's better to use 'apt-get install osso-software-version-rx34-unlocked' (or rx44 for n810)

Thank you very much.

Great. I'll change the earlier post.

Thanks guys a lot for sharing these debs!!

I'm lost... I followed the script in the wiki, then the one @ http://sse2.net/rotate/ and of course these two files were no longer maintained on the server that these command line scripts pointed to...

How do I install the debs you provided using the scripted command line method that this thread originally promoted?

Many thanks BTW...

OK, look. I'm no expert. I just love rotation and so had the debs and am willing to help. But you need to proceed with caution, and with the warning that if I've f-ed something up, or if you f something up along the way, I am not responsible. Let's hope that someone more knowledgable than I can come along and confirm that these instructions will work. That said, I think they *should* work. OK, let's go....

Here are instructions for a tablet running Diablo.

First:

* I take no responsibility for what happens to your tablet
* Update to the latest firmware
* Enable Extras Repository.
* Install rootsh via application manager
* Close application manager.
* Open X-Term.
* Connect your device to the power supply.

Now, type in x-term:

and hit enter. Wait for new prompt, and enter the following command:

Once wget installs, enter:

Once the two files download, enter :

Once that installs, enter:

This will install the first deb you downloaded with the wget command.

Next, enable extras-devel repository using app manager:

Go to App Manager>Tools>App cat...>New
Cat name:extras devel
Web add: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Distribution:
Comp:free non-free
Disabled:[unchecked]

Go back to x-term and enter (for n800)

or (for the n810)

Once that installs, enter:

This installs the second deb you downloaded. (I used this order of install because it matches that described at sse2.net/rotate.)

Now disable extras-devel using app manager. (This is for your own safety. Do you skip this step!)

Reboot.

I hope this works. Again, I'm no expert, but from what I can tell, this should do it (again, at least until udated ssu). Post here if there are problems. I have no idea why our rotation gurus stopped working on this. Sliderotate used to be the easiest way, but that was never updated for latest ssu (or was it?).

Thanks......

YoDude, saw that you may have had problems with one of the debs. Did everything go OK, in the end?

when i get to the step where you type apt-get install wget i get the following message:

E: Could not open lock file /varlib/dpkg.lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?


what can i do to finally finish this? i have already tried downloading wget and according to my tablet have maemo extras and maemo chinook
(i have noticed that under my application catalogs Eko One - failed to refresh)

someone please help!!!
