Re: N900 PPTP VPN with MPPE

I'm not sure, but from the error message it looks like you've uncommented something you shouldn't have in the pptpsetup script near line 234. I haven't tried setting this up since PR1.3 so I can't...

Re: How did I break ssh?

Try ssh -vvv to get very (very..) verbose output. Might help you figure out what's going wrong.

You can change this by editing /etc/gnome/defaults.list, it's the line that starts with audio/x-mpegurl in this case.

Re: scp acting funny can any one help?

That command is attempting to copy from your N900 (192.168.0.4) to scratchbox, but you said you'd deleted the file from your N900, ergo "file not found". To copy from scratchbox to your N900, try:

Re: help with making a script

Re: help with making a script

You should be careful when editing the sudoers file. If you make a mistake with the syntax sudo will stop working entirely.

You can protect against this somewhat be using the "visudo" command....

Re: How to change the width of "ls -l"?

You could remove some columns with awk I guess.

ls -l | awk '{print $1, $3, $9}'

Would give permissions, owner and file name for example.

Re: iPlayer working on the N900

Glad it's working. Not sure why it's timing out, maybe it's to do with how busy the iplayer site is?
