Also, rather than moving the config file to your machine to edit, in WINSCP, just right click the file and choose edit.

If anyone wants a copy, just shoot me a PM with your email.

Hey Greg,

Thanks for doing that, is it possible to receive that .avi so I can post it on my website and add the link here to download?

Cheers,

4- go to your main PC and download a free ssh client with a graphic interface (it's much easier to use for a newbie) like winscp.
5- in your N900 launch xterminal and type: sudo gainroot
6- in x terminal type then: ifconfig
7- ifconfig will show you r ip address (of course you MUST be connected to a wireless lan with your N900 )
8- open winscp and login to this ip address.
login:root password: your passord
9- go tho /usr/share/hildon-welcom/media and copy the boot video you want.
10- ho to /etc/hildon-welcom.d/ and copy default.conf to ypur PC
11-open in your PC default.conf with notepad and modify it with the name of the new video
12- save without changing name of the file
13- replace the file .conf in N900
14- disconnect and restart N900.

That's it...

I hope to have been useful

I have a question @ step 8 when i have to put my login and my password in the ftp client, the login is root but what is the password? I don't have set any passwords to my n900 eccept for my sim card. Can you guys help me? Isn't there a stock password?

thnx a lot,

Martijn

I've done everything from N900 itself without using computer. If someone want to try, this is how it goes:

We need:
-rootsh
-unzip
-PyGTKEditor

1. Open this site from N900

2. Save zip file with video from first page of this topic in main folder of N900

3. Unzip that file.
In X-Terminal:
go into MyDocs folder:

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs/

then unzip:

Code:

unzip maemointro-h264.avi.zip

4. Copy video to right location.
In X-Terminal:
become root:

Code:

sudo gainroot

then copy the file:

Code:

cp maemointro-h264.avi /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media

5. Copy config file to MyDocs

Code:

cp /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf /home/user/MyDocs/

6. Start PyGTKEditor
7. In PyGTKEditor open file "default.conf" from main N900 folder.
It'll look like this:

Code:

[hildon-welcome]
filename=Hands-v32-h264.avi

8. Edit that file, so it'll look like this:

Code:

[hildon-welcome]
#filename=Hands-v32-h264.avi
filename=maemointro-h264.avi

9. Save changes

10. Copy this edited config file back to proper location.
In X-Terminal:

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/default.conf  /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf

11. Close X-Terminal, PyGTKEditor, Browser etc.

12. Restart N900

All I need now is a N900

martie1 | # 30 | 2009-12-25, 17:53 | Report

It works thnx to you

Only one thing is not good in your script:

10. Copy this edited config file back to proper location.
In X-Terminal:

Code:
cp /home/user/MyDocs/default.config /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf it must be default.conf, not default.config
