Re: BiTtorrent Sync & automatic start on boot

That only applies to systems based on sysVinit and similar. Maemo is based on Upstart, so the scripts you need to be looking at for inspiration are in /etc/event.d/

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly...

Re: [HOWTO] N900 Bluetooth-PAN Tethering (N900 supplies Internet Access for PC)

For folks wanting the internet connection to come up on BT connection, I suppose one might be able to get away with inserting an "/sbin/ifconfig gprs0 up" at the end of every bnepX "add" action in...

Re: Story time! How did you decide to buy the N900/N950/N9

First smartphone was a Treo 680, which I used concurrently with a Palm T|X - I'd been attached to the PalmOS platform since my teenage years when I got a hand-me-down Pilot 5000 for my birthday. Was...

Re: [HOWTO] N900 Bluetooth-PAN Tethering (N900 supplies Internet Access for PC)

Turns out I was living a charmed life w/r/t not having to have udev run ifconfig for every bnepX device on my first phone. The second phone required it. So I've edited my post accordingly.

That looks about right to me. I didn't have to do it, but he did so YMMV.

Re: N900 and N9 for sale

Is the N900 still available? Mine is showing signs of sudden onset dementia. I'm in Central Ohio.

And if francoisg really wants that game grip pad, he's welcome to it. I have one already. ;)

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Got mine in January 2010. So it's been a while. And y'know, I keep an eye out, watching the market for anything that meets my needs.

But right now what I get by with is a pocket Linux computer...

Re: Bluetooth Tethering On N900 No Longer Works

I prefer not having to run any script on the n900 at all.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

Reminds me of iPhone 4 versus iPhone 5, personally. The proportions are pretty similar.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

I'd at least assume that SailfishOS is likely to be (ultimately) as customizable as Maemo. At least, that'd be the hope.

With that in mind... if and/or when they reveal for certain that there will...

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

I needed to install two additional packages to make this work:
python-setuptools
python-openssl

After that, though, it worked just fine.

Re: [HOWTO] N900 Bluetooth-PAN Tethering (N900 supplies Internet Access for PC)

I have a multiple-PCs method that doesn't use this script at all - it actually functions automatically once you make the BT connection. No need to run a script!

It's pretty straightforward, but it...
