Ignorant question here. I've installed it using Easy Mer. Is power and charging management working? When I plug it in I do not get any indicators.

Solved:

In Maemo run as root:
apt-get install battery-status

With all the screen shots of fremantle running on the new RX-51 makes me wonder. How much of those goodies will be compatible in mer? How much alike will the two systems be?

Weird, I thought I had battery-status as a dependency for Easy Mer...

On the bottom line we're quite compatible.. try seeing the screenshots here - that's various things from Extras that are genuine Fremantle apps, on top of Mer.

Hi

Thank you for developing such good platform. I have Smart Q5 and think that MER is the best OS for it. I run Mer from SD card, it works, but I still couldn't make Wifi to work. I copied sd8686 files as per Wiki, but it still shows "device not managed"

In dmesg:

8686 sdio: sd 8686 driver
8686 sdio: Copyright HHCN 2009
sd8686_sdio: probe of mmc2:0001:1 failed with error -1

Could somobody help me?
I also has the same bug in 0.16 test3

testing4 will have a better wifi installation. However, this might also be a HW error. We've seen 'loose' wifi chips.

Thank you for reply

Ok, I'll wait for testing4. But it is not h/w problem as Wi-Fi works good in stock OS and Android

Best regards,

Ok, I confess that I can't figure out what's wrong.

I can't get wifi working on my N800 Mer install. NM-applet reports various problems, depending on what I've tried (restarting Network Manager, restarting dbus, restarting tablet-wireless)... Is there some way to debug this more fully?

If you unpacked the rootfs with ubuntu machine, NM and dbus are not gonna work. Make sure you are you using Mer bootmenu.
