Is there a way to reboot the n810 other than power cycleing it? Something like a reboot command or util I can run? Sure its the windoze thinking in me but often I want to reboot/restart the device with an easier route than power cycling it.

Start an xterm, switch to root and type reboot.

You can also edit "/etc/systemui/systemui.xml" to add a reboot option to the power menu.

Locate the following code:

Code:
<!--
 <menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot">
  <return>6</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
and change it to:

Code:
 <menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot">
  <return>6</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
<!--

I was missing the "switch to root part" there... when I typed in reboot it did not know the command. I would have thought it would tell me I needed to be root to run this command.

Can you tell me what in line editor you used: I do not know the vi commands to insert text and how do you change the permissions on the file if it is needed. Lets say I grab what ever editor you mention from the depository, how do I change the ownership and permissions to root. I already have the easyroot package installed. Any help would be appreciated.

I used Leafpad. Should be available via application manager.

After installing editor go to terminal, change yourself to root and start Leafpad from the terminal:
# leafpad /etc/systemui/systemui.xml
