Re: N8x0's in 2019!

I've just rediscovered my N810s, reflashed them both and set them up. Still use them occasionally for ebook reading and music playing.

Does anyone have an updated openssl (or equivalent) for...

For sale: Nokia N900 (QWERTY keyboard) with protective cases, spare battery & stylus

[now sold]

I bought this recently as a potential replacement for my N810, but actually it doesn't really suit me. I prefer the larger screen and keyboard of the N810 (heresy, I know).

I don't...

Bare metal backup and restore of N810 without repositories

I still use my N810 daily, and it seems from this forum that others do too. But it's probably going to get harder to do standard restore operations using repositories, as some of them start to go...

Webcam capture with good audio sync on N810 (and N800?)

I realise this may not be of use to many people these days, but I wanted to use the webcam of the N810 to record videos of me talking, to send to my children while I'm away. Couldn't find a way to do...

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing

Hi qole,

True, but the Debian version is newer and I read a note from the packager that the Maemo version was painfully slow.

My ffmpeg-based OGG-to-WAV conversion script seems to have worked,...

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing

Another self-reply which may help anyone else trying to use Gstreamer apps in Easy Debian.

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing

Incidentally, while the above method gives me sound in lxmusic, tuxpaint, etc., I can't get sound working in GCompris, which I think may be due to a gstreamer issue. I've removed/purged pulseaudio...

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing

OK, to answer my own question, because it may help someone else. Using the m5-v3e image, first I went through the steps detailed by qole here:

Re: Easy Debian Diablo Beta Testing

I've just reinstalled Easy Debian on my N810 and I have no sound within it. I don't know if I did before; I don't think I had any cause to test it. Is this normal?

I actually have two N810s, one...

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available

That's great, thanks. I can confirm that the cifs.ko one works fine when connecting to my router's drive. I don't have any way of testing the others yet, but I'll keep them in case I ever do.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available

If you check my posts a page or so back on this thread, you'll see how to fix the fuse problem (deleting the original fuse.ko and making a sym-link to the new one). Once rebooted, this works fine.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant by 'related to'. A new cifs.ko would be great, thank you. Do you think there are any other kernel modules that might be necessary with the N810 in the future?

Re: Image backup for N810 without SD

Yes, that's right. The backup process appears to be fine each time, but the backup doesn't restore. I even tried using 0xFFFF -e on mmc1 and mmc2, in case one was corrupted, but the error was the...

Re: Image backup for N810 without SD

I'm not at that computer now, but I used the pieces command:

Re: Image backup for N810 without SD

Interesting... the 0xFFFF method appears to work OK for me during backup, but when I try to restore it to another N810, even one that's been freshly flashed with Nokia's own image, it complains about...
