Re: [announce] swappolube to lubricate your gui

Seems that I'm the only one that had issues with this?

I tried the commands described on post #1 and after some time (hours) all my widgets went away. Multiple reboots did not fix this.

Re: Who can tell me something about maemo's file system?

I think you're messing things up, first of all "file system" may refer to a disk, or the software used to store data on the disk. I'm assuming you mean the latter.

Re: Help with cp command

mind that the "*" will copy only non-hidden files (those not beginning with ".")

so either check for them or instead use
cp -r /usr/share/icons /home/user/MyDocs
this will copy the entire folder

yesterday I updated my N900 to 1.2 OTA.

Re: help: running dbus-send as non-root

Thank you for your reply.

Re: Is it possible to convert an app to a widget?

That would require a rewrite from scratch.

I strongly suggest you to try to do it as you said before going for the command line way.

Anyway, it can be done by hand. Basically you have to remove every file that is in the package (dpkg -c...
