To get the IP of your N900, start xterm and type
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep inet
Doesn't do anything after I type in the command in Xterm.

Are you definitely connected to your wireless router? Make sure AutoDisconnect hasn't kicked in

@ BEC, @starman

I knw I am straying off a lil bit, but need help on a developmental issue. i am a totally a newbie and not exposed to Linux development:

Objective: I am trying to add a shortcut to N900 desktop that could lock the screen in a single touch. The code is as follows, found it on one of the other forums. I need help on the following questions:

1) Where should I be inputting this code on my device to make it functional.
2) is there an easier code to achieve the same objective.
3) should i be saving 4 separate files once the code is created; to add shortcut to 4 separate screens on my device.

your help in this matter would be highly appreciated...

Ciao


========================================



[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Lock Screen
Comment=lock_screen
Exec=/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request

com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:locked
Icon=qgn_list_cp_security

save as lock.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/


This .desktop file "creates" an app in the "more" folder which you can put on the
desktop as a shortcut to lock your N900

You just have to create a .txt file, paste
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Lock Screen
Comment=lock_screen
Exec=/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request

com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:locked
Icon=qgn_list_cp_security
Rename your .txt to .desktop and lace it in “/usr/share/applications/hildon/".
.desktop files are simple .txt files with changed extension.

If you go to “/usr/share/applications/hildon/" you can find plenty .desktop files.
I don't know if a script is required to make the shortcut work. It might work without one.

hi! Please help me..

I am using putty and filezilla in pc.

I have installed openssh client and server in my N900. and also installed mad developer


I am able to connect to N900 root ssh via filezilla using the IP address via wifi shown in mad developer without any problem.

Problem is with USB connection

Even I am unable to ping IP address shown in mad developer from my pc.

I can ping same IP address in N900 using terminal.

I think there is some problem with setting in TCP/IP in my window.

Please guide me what exact setting should be done as in picture you have shown 192.168.1.30 but you asked to put 192.168.1.31 in text


change the IP, Gateway and DNS of the newly created network connection to 192.168.1.31.
thanks in advance

A. Wi-Fi
Wireless router required!

1. Enable the maemo.org repository by simply clicking this link (you should have it by default if your device is updated)
(if you don't find the files requested below, the extras-testing repository too, manually by entering the details linked here into the app manager.

2. Install the following apps: Open SSH Client and Open SSH server on your N900.
  • be sure to enter a strong password that you'll remember for Open SSH!
    In case you forgot to enter a password or want to change it, install, ROOTSH, open terminal and type
    "sudo gainroot" [enter] "passwd" [enter] and you'll be prompted to change/enter the new password
  • you should also install the showIP widget for your desktop
3. Download WinSCP, a very nice free SSH client for windows and configure it as follows:



  • Host name: your N900 ip, get it from over here or install the showIP widget from app manger.
    -please remember that it may change on router/modem resets or because of your ISP
  • Port number: 22
  • User name: root
  • Password: a strong one - same as the one entered in Open SSH
  • Protocol: SFTP + SCP fallback


B. USB
Default cable is the only requirement!

1. Install Mad Developer (step A.1. may apply), run it and:
  • press "Manage USB" -> "Load g_either" -> "close".
  • enter the following IP: 192.168.1.30 -> "configure" (this address for WinSCP as well and settings from step A.3. apply).


2. Connect your N900 via USB and:

3. When you want the old USB mode back, re-enable mass storage mode via: "Manage USB" -> "Load g_nokia" -> "close".

I have also updated the Wiki, check it if you don't understand something or simply ask.

If this post helped you, please check out the ideas in my signature and cast a vote if you think they're worth it

Hey Guys is there any inverse process of this one....; I mean Is there any way to Get full access over your Computer file system in some easy steps by using N900''' It would be great if we can create openssh sever on pc and access it from WinSCP on N900..
