Hey all. My problem is that my screen does not stay lit when charging, even though I do have the option set in the display settings & I do indeed have a good charger plugged in (the battery applet shows 'charging'). I've read through these threads, but I know it used to work out of the box. But that was of course several dozen software installs & removals ago. Any ideas how to fix? TX

Confirmed that powerlaunch is the problem. At least version 0.7 is, which was all that was available when I first installed it. I notice that there is now a version 0.82 & 0.83 available, but both of those give me a 'package not found' error after downloading the package & trying to install via apt-get, so I can't even install them to test.

The bugtracker is empty & both the mailing list & the forum just have a few old messages in them. Where's the best place to report bugs? TX

How are you downloading a package and installing via apt-get? If you download the deb. you should use dpkg -i powerlaunch*.deb

Also, a specific bug report would be welcome. Any of the bugtracker, mailing list, or the forum is better than here. I would suggest the bugtracker. Yes it's empty cause no one has reported any bugs and I can't really monitor these forums. Thanks.

Err, I don't have powerlaunch installed and mine doesn't stay lit when charging either.

IIRC, it did with the 20067 OS?!?

Just more of the delights of this anthill .

You don't. Staying lit while charging is a feature of OS2008.

Now, if like so many other things, it only worked :-/.

Discovered last night why I had no significant (about half normal) battery life no matter how long I charged the n800, it seems that memodrak(sp?) had somehow hung in background bouncing the cards. Only showed up somehow after I had closed all other open apps to reorder them (was not on the task bar). After some messing with the power button I was able to get a reboot and that ended the runaway, nothing else would end the bouncing cards show :-(.

Love / hate relationship with the n800. Gotta be the flakiest implementation of Linux I have ever seen :-(.

Still wouldn't trade it for the world though, but I surely would not get another noikia anything after this :-/.
