Re: [Help] sSudo password for maemo?

If sudo gainroot works then you don't need to use sudo before other commands, you are already root. You can test this by entering "sudo gainroot" and then "whoami". It should respond with "root".

Re: N900 chess engine strength (?)

As far as the backlight goes, installing the simple brightness applet gives a control to keep the backlight on. I found that out when sensitive motion (the game) was giving me similar problems.

Kojacker, your handling of this has been exceptional. I hope this competition can now conclude on the high-note that it deserves to.

Re: Evopedia Qt

I know this is an alpha version, but I thought I'd report a couple of issues that I found anyway.

Whilst offline, there are repeated requests to select a network while browsing articles. This can...

Re: Evopedia Qt

Just in case anyone runs into the same problems as me, put the binary into your home/user/ directory, not Mydocs, and run

Re: [ANNOUNCE] The First N900 Coding Competition! 21st May-21st July. Open to all!

Just donated €22, so hopefully €20 after fees.

Re: [Testing Squad] - June 2010 - We need testers!

I'm slightly concerned that there is too much emphasis being placed on getting the queue cleared and not enough on ensuring that the testing process is rigourous.

Re: Poll: how to vote for themes in Extras Testing queue

I think the first question is whether the maintainer can do anything to make the themes optified or whether it is out of their control somehow (problems with the autobuilder etc.)

If they can do...

Re: GPS on N900 without connecting to Internet?

I have worked this out from using my phone abroad. Ovi Maps, after starting, would try and get a GPS fix for a couple of minutes and then give up leaving me with no GPS fix.

Re: GPS on N900 without connecting to Internet?

Ovi Maps gives up trying to get a GPS fix after a few minutes and often fails without network positioning.

Re: Gimmicks you might have missed on the N900

Re: Gimmicks you might have missed on the N900

ctrl backspace to bring up the task switcher is nice.

ctrl shift x to bring up a terminal on the other hand is insanely awkward. Try it.
