I'm not thinking desperation, just excitement. I still haven't found any problems on my device and am only thinking every upgrade is a new Christmas :P

Hi,
I don't know why, but on my side, the device doesn't detect any update available ...
Someone have an idea ?
Here is some informations :
~ # uname -a
Linux Nokia-N900-42-11 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Wed Oct 28 15:32:55 EET 2009 armv7l unknown
~ # df -h

tmpfs 1.0M 68.0k 956.0k 7% /tmp

/dev/mmcblk0p1 27.0G 1.7G 25.3G 6% /home/user/MyDocs
I have never made a backup of the device, do you think it can be the problem ?
I admit I have installed some packages from testing and devel however ...
A++
I also add the fact I have obviously used the update function in the applications manager, so without success, I thinking maybe I'm not using the right repository ? any idea ?

stuff ive encoded my self - all my movies were encoded using h.264 for when i had my iphone, i used handbrake on my mac,,,
settings are as follows
codec: x.264
size : 640x272
quality : constant 60% RF: 20
ive used these settings for years, they look and play fab on my ipod touch (1G) and perfectly when i had my 3GS, since the N900 is similar to the iPhone in terms of CPU & GPU i assumed they would play fine, but even the Nokia rep's N900 where I work has issues playing video, although he mostly has divx stuff
the videos play but damn theres a lot of dropped frames,
plus i dont really wanna re-encode over 200 movies, a lof of them are my kids stuff (disney) for long road trips,
if youve got any tips I would be very greatfull
The other thing you could try prior to recoding is to disable unneeded processes prior to running the film - IM Accounts and email polling bing obvious CPU hogs.
