    Changed the default.conf to this:

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


    Also didn't help

    so i guess "N900_2.avi" isn't nokia hands, right?

    so my script is working (:

    check if rvide is in /etc/event.d -> it should be /etc/event.d/rvide

    1. open xterm
    2. type "sudo gainroot"
    3. type "chmod 777 /usr/bin/rvid"
    4. type "chmod 777 /etc/event.d/rvide"

    then reboot and watch xD

    Sorry, messed up on that default.conf

    Did the last thing and rvide was in there

    Did the chmod commands, rebooted several times but still only the Nokia hands

    I am really sorry for spending your precious time...

    I have had enough of it...

    maybe I will try to reflash it and start from scrath,

    That really long string from this site and thread:

    http://tuxrunner.com/tech/optify-your-n900-boot-videos/

    And this string I performed:

    for i in /opt/bootvideos/*; do ln -s $i /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/$(echo $i | awk ‘BEGIN { FS=”/” } ; { print $4 }’); done


    Might messed it all up...

    You have as much patience like me...
    Good thing, but without a wireless router is a pain!

    don't know what's going wrong... o.O

    i did it mostly like he does:
    http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...t.d#post512874

    maybe you could try "chmod a+x" instead of "chmod 777" although it should do the same.

    you could also try to move the file from /usr/bin/rvid to /usr/local/bin/rvid and edit the "rvide" file. (you have to edit the path in this file)

    i'll take some hours off... i'll continue trying different things the next few days... and hopefully there is a solution which works for everyone (:

    I only got in this thread when I saw your solution...

    But after I edited the rvide file for the rvid path, I saw something stated about a script...

    I haven't got that script in here right?

    wasn't it in the solution you posted are in another post somewhere...

    That could be it then?

    "script" and "end script" are only the tags which must be used in a file which is placed and executed in/by event.d

    maybe it would work by deleting rvid from /usr/bin/
    and editing /etc/event.d/rvide to following:

    Code:
    start on startup
    
    script
    
      cd /etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/
    
      if [ -f 1.conf ]; then
    
        # check which file is currently used
        if [ -f *.lock ]; then
          cuf=$(ls *.lock)
          ruf=$cuf
          rm *.lock
        else
          cuf="1.lock"
          ruf=$cuf
        fi
    
        # determine number of files in /dconfs
        nof=$(ls *.conf | wc -l)
    
        while [ "$ruf" = "$cuf" ]; do
    
          # get random number
          rn=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut -f1 -d" ")
    
          # in range of 1 - nof
          let "rr = $rn % $nof + 1"
    
          # choose random conf
          ruf="$rr.lock"
          rf="$rr.conf"
     
        done
     
        # set file for checking which file is in use
        rb="$rr.lock"
        echo "rb $rb - rf $rf"
    
        # copy it over to default.conf
        cp $rf ../default.conf
        touch $rb
    
      fi
    
    end script
