Initially, I was also unable to sync over wireless. Coincidentally, I upgraded the wireless router and now I can sync over wireless.

Thanks! I unchecked "Backup" (in the Hotsync settings on the PC side) and now the sync runs to completion without errors.

What I thought I was trying to backup with the "Backup" setting was any system stuff such as Prefs and Shortcuts.

Maybe this is only a short-term issue until Access Company releases the GVM for Maemo 5.

BTW, I'm running the following apps under the GVM on my N900 without any visible problems:
- SplashShopper trial
- Tide Tool
- Sol Free

I would really like to test MegaClock, but it refuses to install.

5. You will be asked to agree to a license agreement then provided a download link for the file garnet-vm_1.0.4b_ITOS2008_armel.deb. Download this file to your N900 remembering where you put it. Placing it in the N900 folder is an easy place to remember.

6. Open the X-Terminal application.

7. Type sudo gainroot [Enter] in X-Terminal

8. Type cd MyDocs [Enter] in X-terminal (substitute any other folder you saved garnet-vm_1.0.4b_ITOS2008_armel.deb to for MyDocs).

9. Type dpkg -i garnet-vm_1.0.4b_ITOS2008_armel.deb [Enter] in X-Terminal.

10. Type exit [Enter] in X-Terminal. (This exits the root shell)

11. Type exit [Enter] in X-Terminal. (This closes X-Terminal)

12. You now have an icon for Garnet VM in the second page of application icons.

Forgive me if I am being stupid, but this isnt working for me

I get to step 7 and have on my screen

/home/user #

Then if I type

cd Documents

I get message

/home/user # cd documents
/bin/sh: cd: cant cd to documents
/home/user #

If I go into File Manager in my n900, I have 2 directories, Jimmy and Memory Card.
I have tried downloading the .deb file to directory Jimmy and typing
cd Jimmy in X-Terminal, but get same message.

I have also typed
cd Jimmy/documents
and
cd /home/user # /Jimmy
and
cd /home/user/Jimmy

Please help

"Jimmy" is actually MyDocs -- /home/user/MyDocs

Underneath that, the various directories are:
Audio clips -- /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds
Camera -- /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM
Documents -- /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
Images -- /home/user/MyDocs/.images
Video clips -- /home/user/MyDocs/.videos

I believe "Memory Card" is located at /media/mmc1, but I'm not completely sure as I don't have one installed.

It should be

cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents

I did not follow the thread, but you have to spell the complete path in order to cd there.

Or another easier way to do, dl to a folder you know, then cd there and run the .deb; for example
dl to /media/mmc1
and cd /media/mmc1
ls to show it is there
and type the file name to execuate the .deb

post back if question

Specifically, when I try to install MegaClock.prc in the Garnet VM, the error message is:

"Failed to install MegaClock.prc (err=0x30060209)"

Does anyone know what that error code means?

Thanks.
