I can't find xterm. Is there an alternate repo?

Yeah, the bluetooth bug I submitted was fixed... but not being able to browse the internet or update the software list is a major showstopper...

I just have new ones...

EDIT: I can now browse the internet using my phone, and Application Manager can now refresh.

It appears that one or more installed apps interfered with the connection: rdesktop, VNC Viewer, or a vpn app custom designed for a certain company. I suspect the latter and will troubleshoot.

I don't understand why information is being withheld - the changelog should be more detailed, and should cross-reference with bugzilla where appropriate. We're raising bugs on behalf of Nokia, and Nokia isn't able or willing to tell us if these bugs are fixed or not - it's ridiculous.

If the changes and cross-reference information isn't available, that's simply poor project and defect management on Nokias part.

If Nokia believe there is a competitive advantage to be gained by witholding such information, they are wrong.

EDIT: Not having a go at Texrat, I appreciate you aren't in a position to divulge this info. This is a general flame at Nokia

Mil, anything I relate or don't relate is specific to ME, NOT indicative of the company as a whole. I can't speak for what the "main guys" do or don't do-- I also don't make assumptions on what I can release, either, without having very specific directions or reasons.

EDIT: lol, just saw YOUR edit.

Question: How do I go back to a default sources.list without xterm? It took me three days to find the dependencies for *VIM* (not xterm). They were contained in the Minimo installer, and now I cannot get Minimo up. Ugh.

EDIT: It appears that the Ruby and Minimo repos are down. Could be the firewall here at work. Found xterm, and that workd brilliantly.

In terms of media player:

Still doesn't play or recognize ogg files -- no surprise there.

Finally recognizes my xvid files and tries to play them -- but fails miserably. The xvid files are 320x240 with 128 cbr mp3 audio and were converted with 75% quality via autogk. They play beautifully on the sharp zaurus BTW.

Another complaint is that seeking (skipping through file) doesn't seem to work with video files that are otherwise playable.

I agree, the video update didn't seem to do much to solve the problems people were having. Perhaps if NOKIA would publish some specs of video that *will* play on the n800 we could all step up and test those settings (AVI, 3GP, DIVX, etc.?; 200kbps?, 700kbps?). I have a 4 year old Palm device that plays movies smoother than this.
