Noob question......
 

Hi i just got myself an 770 and made the software upgrade first and then installed a few apps like dsniff and media streamer. Problem is i dont know how to start these apps. Some can be found in extra folder but wheres the rest of it???? From where can i start: wireless tools, tree, dsniff, unzip, zip and aircrack-ng???? Please there must be an easy explanation, tell me...

if they're command line apps, you gotta install xterm

Those apps that you list are "console" apps. They are text only and are started from a console. The 770 does not have a console built-in by default so you have to install the xterm package to get to the command line where you can run those commands.

You might have to add a new application catalog to see the xterm package. I am not sure which one it is in.

You may also need to install the "becomeroot" package to use some of those tools.
Once installed, you can type "sudo su -" into the console to become "root", the *NIX equivelent of a Windows admin user (but more powerful, at least as powerful as Windows' LocalSystem "user").

xterm
 

You need to access those from xterm and they reside in various places, if memory serves.

Thanks verymuch to all of you, that was a quick response. I will install xterm and try to start those apps. If i need some more help, i now where to ask. THANKS AGAIN.....

ok,i installed osso xterm. But it says that i need also libncurses5.
I have looked for it, but are not able to find it. I know its somewhere in repository.maemo.org.
Can someone please give me a direct link to this file?
I would be very grateful.

it should be the same place you got the the xterm program

i haven't found libncurses5. Would somebody kindly give me a direct link to this????
Thanks.

I just checked my nokia, wasn't able to find curses anywhere on it. Are you sure you have the right xterm program?

maybe try apt-get install libncurses

libncurses5 version 5.5-1 is in the maemo-hackers.org repository.

Add repository http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/
Distribution: mistral
Component: main

I use the osso-xterm (advanced) version 0.13.mh13 from that repository.
