Block an IP?

I'd like to block an IP from being accessed from my n900. In normal linux land I would use IPTables for this. What are my options for Maemo?

I've tried using the /etc/hosts file to re-route it to...

Always open the same home screen?

On my N900 (Maemo) I have four home screen desktops.
Whenever I go to the desktop I would like it to start on screen 1, rather than the last-used screen as it currently does.

Re: xterminal "top" shortcut

Took me an age to work out how to have a desktop icon on my n900 to automatically open a terminal, ssh into another box, and re-connect to a screen session.

Finally cracked it, after all sorts of...

When I run

my IAP is shown as
/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/c1979dcf-834a-4fad-91be-184c9da8a5ec:

Re: Getting use out of screenless N900

Yes, I did try connecting a composite video lead and that did not work.
I think the touch functionality does work, though, because I feel the vibrating touch feedback when I press the screen.

Re: Getting use out of screenless N900

Opening the terminal with SHIFT+CTRL+X is a great idea, although I would need to input my WiFi credentials before I could connect to it, which might be tricky.

The cloning of my working N900,...

Re: Applets not showing up?

That is strange:
I am sure rebooting my device was the first thing I tried when this went wrong last week.
However, I just rebooted again and the applets re-appeared.
Perhaps it was the...

Re: Applets not showing up?

I installed powatool: simple-brightness-applet and flashlight-applet are both ticked already.
Very strange.

Applets not showing up?

I have installed Simple Brightness Applet, and the Flashlight applet, on my N900.

They were both working fine until last week when they stopped showing up in my applet tray. (I am not sure of the...

Getting use out of screenless N900

Whilst on holiday I found an N900 in the sea.
My heart skipped a beat until I checked my pocket and found out that it was not mine. Quite a co-incidence!
Anyway, I rinsed it of salt water and dried...

Re: [Maemo 5] Google+ app?

The API is available now.

http://developers.google.com/+/api/
