LogMeIn on Fremantle

[thorbo]

Has anyone had the opportunity to try the LogMeIn client on the N900? I am under the assumption that it should work (works fine on my N800), but well, you all know the pitfalls of assuming. Any first-hand experience would be greatly appreciated.

It can be downloaded from but its clearly not officially supported!

https://secure.logmein.com/labs/

Here is direct link

http://update.logmein.com/nokia/dists/chinook/extras/binary-armel/logmein-client_1.0.380-27_armel.deb

It is for Chinook/Diablo.

You will also find a x86-32 version in the first Labs link.

A direct link to this is:

https://secure.logmein.com/activex/logmein-client_1.0.387-1_i386.deb

This version is slightly newer, but also from 2008. One requirement for that version is: A 32-bit x86 version of Firefox 2.x or 3.0 is required.

In Fremantle SDK I've been able to load the plugin in Maemo Browser by putting the *.so in ~/.browser/plugins and then starting the browser. I can auth, get the interface, but default in this case it uses Java plugin. I tried Mozilla but nothing. HTML worked. The last option is ActiveX...

Thanks. Hmm. Perhaps they will make it work on the new platform as smoothly as it did on the n800.

OK... I've done some testing...

ActiveX -> Forget it, Win32/IE/x86-32, ActiveX wrapper for Mozilla Firefox existed but is for 2.x and on Linux/x86 requires WINE.
Mozilla -> Forget it, almost same story, XPI are just wrapper to running Win32/x86-32 executables.

Those 2 are Windows only. Three options remain:

Java plugin is better HTML. Java plugin supposed to work with OpenJDK and Sun Java 6 on x86-64. Did not work for me. There is Java available for ARMEL though, but not in easy packages yet.

HTML plugin sucks, after every click it reloads the _whole_ image. There is no compression either, it seems. Slow junk. It is a last resort or backup feature, but its not user friendly.

x86-32 nspluginwrapper around the Linux i386 .so did not work either. I read it checks the version of the browser, and that this must be spoofed to Firefox 2.x, but for me it didn't work. Ofcourse, not useful on Maemo/ARMEL (I tried the Linux/x86-32 version in SDK but didnt work). Then there is the binary .so for Linux ARMEL (the *.install you used to have or the *.deb just the proper Maemo stuff). While this version is older than Linux/x86-32, and while totally not updated nor supported, I don't see why this software would not work anymore, except the browser may not be recognized anymore because they check browser string.

I have been trying to use LogMeIn today on my N900, and although it looks as though its working, Im faced with a blank screen when I should be looking at my laptop desktop on the N900. I really would like to get this working. I may try the idea above about putting the file in plugins.

any advice appreciated. I have been in touch wil logmein support already.

Changed the useragent and got the N810 plugin working, I don't know if Remote control works though, I got security problems on the emulator for some reason
To change the useragent type about:config, search for useragent and change the last value to the N810's useragent:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux armv6l; U) Opera 8.5 [en_US] Tablet browser 0.0.14 RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.26-8
BTW you need to enter the copy and paste cursor mode to click on the value and change it.
That should help you out

Sadly I too tried the above method, but catalog failed to update, and download the N810 plugin :(

I tried it just now, and I got as far as opening the Remote Control screen and then the whole browser crashed on me.

I downloaded the 1.0.380-37_amel1.deb file and installed it using dpkg command.

Cause it tries to download from Fremantle collection instead of Diablo or Chinook. Try my direct link...

Any News??
I'm very interested that LogMeIn works fine on Freemantle (and obviously on N900)

[Stefanopolis]

I hope soon we can use Logmein on N900. I use VNC, but for me if we can use logmen in web browser it will be awesome( zoom to the level you want).

[thorbo]

I have written another note to the LogMeIn "labs" people, and asked again if there was going to be a newly compiled installer for the N900. Should any of you feel inclined, perhaps you could do that to. 100 voices is better than one. I think we could all benefit from this tool. Thanks, Thor

I was having the same problem with LogMein, the GOOD NEWS is that today I download FIREFOX and retry LogMein with Firefox and it works.
please try...Thanks.

[nashith]

@GID123, is it using HTML or Mozilla? Java and ActiveX doesn't work on N900.

[z3phyr]

I'm currently trying it on firefox and it seems to be working. I'm connecting to my bros computer in NZ though and its really slow. downloading it on my laptop and will try it again. not sure if its working on windows 7 yet though.

I can confirm this works - Takes some fiddling to get logged into my box - but it is visible.

Can also say that the latest download of firefox is worlds better than the previous I have tried.
