Have you tried turning virtual memory off?

Ya, I've tried a few power cycles, and even a reblast with the latest firmware, no joy.

When I try to turn off virtual memory it just tells me: "unable to remote virtual memory", whatever that means.

I had a corrupted swap file on my N800 that I cleared by shutting down the N800, removing the internal SD card and, using a card-reader on a PC, deleted the swap file. I could not figure out any other way to get rid of the problem which started with 'Unable to connect via USB, Memory card in use: Internal Memory card' and then went rapidly downhill.

I am not recommending this, but it worked for me. If you have an N810 then I don't know what you can do.

Anyone have a copy of nethack for OS2008? The version in the repositories installs, but won't run.

Oh dear Honeybadger - If you can't become root (type: 'sudo gainroot' in Xterminal) and you've tried a different SD card and you've reflashed your OS - but it's still broken:confused:... I'm afraid that I'm at a loss as to what to tell you :o Hopefully, someone else with more knowledge can come along and help here. Sorry. :(

By internal SD card, do you mean ejecting the card, or dismantling my 810 and removing an internal component?

Thanks

When I try Sudo gainroot, I get enable RD mode if I want to break my device...sound ominous...

advice?

Sorry again, I've never gotten that message before. Maybe that's what you get when you don't have becomeroot installed?

1. Proceed with caution.

2. Do not alter, move. or delete any files unless you have made a back-up copy, know how to use the back-up, and are reasonably certain of the consequences of your actions.

3. No sniveling if things go wrong.

:)

The external one is the one in the card slot, the internal one is the one near the battery slot.
