No. Your system is somehow broken. Maybe because of installed stuff from testing, devel or any other place outside of maemo.org extras and ovi store. Do you have any widgets on your desktops? What have you installed. List apps with maemo-list-user-packages command and if you want to list them in sorted by category format then use command maemo-list-user-packages | sort -k 3,3

If you have installed stuff that is recommended only for testing purpose I advise to just reflash or learn to debug system.

I have very few carefully chosen apps installed. 0 widgets active on desktops (2)

Could somebody compile latest version of Hildon-desktop? Cannot really understand the Nokia FW policy. Why dont they just release hot fixes... for example in extras-devel.

As far as I know this bug in hildon-desktop only happens if
you use submenus for the application menu (categorise or AppMeFo).

And someone has compiled the latest version of Hildon-Desktop.

yesterday my desktop froze. it didnt really froze, i could still switch desktops, but the icons wouldnt react when clicked.

i checked the processes and xorg was taking a lot of cpu. so i killed xorg.... and my device shut down and rebooted!

no **** sherlock?!?

Hello, after the command i get a passwordrequest but can't type anything, how does this work please, thank you.

You need sudser first.
Or get gainroot, type "sudo gainroot", then remove the sudo from that command.

m double u: It does let you type stuff, it just doesn't show you that it's taking your typing. It's like when you use OpenSSH from command-line and the thing you're connecting to asks for a password - you can type the password, but you will not see it, in x-term. Basically, most applications that I know of, when they give you a password prompt in X-Terminal, don't show what you're typing. You just have to hope you didn't double-enter some key, or didn't accidentally shift/fn it into a different character.

ossipena, some of your other posts around here are great, but you're just being a dick in that last one. Oh yes, it's totally obvious to every user who might otherwise be generally intelligent and able to use the N900's X-Term to use the device, that xorg happens to be a system critical process of the sort that would force a device reboot.

I can even understand saying "no **** sherlock", because of the way the poster you were replying to said their device rebooted, and because yes, if you know Linux, or even just what xorg is, you can probably guess it's important. If you've ran a command to view system processes enough, you can also notice xorg constantly there. But just saying, essentially, that the replied-to-poster was an idiot for not knowing something "obvious", is, frankly, asinine. If you feel the need to express that, go for it, it's more than understandable. But be decent enough to say WHY this happened and what xorg actually does.

You might know, I might know, but every other reader of this won't, and I guarantee you, this is NOT something that is easily discovered by simply searching for "xorg" in google. (On the other hand, he could have probably found it on this forum, but still, the search is hardly that great at turning up relevant results.)

I did this , now my battery icon is WHITE , not percentage , no charging indicator .
