thanks for the help. Here is what I typed and it seem to work but now the next section got me stuck. Sorry I am new to these commands and X Terminal

I typed wget -p/home/user http://www.guardiani.us/sample.a2dprc

but when I type the cp part.. it doesn't work, what command should I type?

Are you doing all of this as root? You shouldn't be. I realize that I didn't make that clear in the instructions though. You have to install the packages as root using `dpkg -i ...` or red pill mode (sort of similar to root), but then steps 1 - 6 should be executed as the normal tablet user named 'user'.

Maybe you aren't root though, since you had trouble downloading with wget. root would be able to download anywhere without restrictions.

please run these commands and post the result:

`pwd`
`whoami`

Also, from now on, please make sure your working directory is /home/user by typing:
`cd /home/user`

before running any of the commands in the Howto. This shouldn't be necessary. When you open the xterm or log in via ssh as 'user', you'll be placed in /home/user automatically. But for some reason you don't appear to be in /home/user or else these commands would be working for you.

man this sucks, I am like stuck at every new step after I get one working. So pwd shows me as /home/user and whoami is user and wget seem to work fine but the cp command doesn't do anything. Is that some kind of program that I need or something

cp is the copy command.

Nice install procedure...

A2DP support is optional in Kagu. We're the only player that offers A2DP so far for the n800, and there are ... issues with packaging the optional A2DP component properly. I do this in my spare time after all. I'm not getting paid for it.

I'm sorry, but for now you'll just have to follow the instructions. They seem to work for everyone else. Perhaps you could tell us what error message `cp` is giving you?

theres no error message. So I do the wget command and it says blah blah saved and then I do the cp command which just automatically brings up a new line then I do the vim command and it says vim can not be found.

So it's probably not the cp command at all - do you have vim installed? If not, use vi. If you don't know how to use vi you might be able to get away with the following:

Where YOURBTADDRESS is the value you obtained from hcitool, with colons.

vim is a text editor. If you don't have vim, or don't know how to use it, please use a text editor that you do know how to use. I'll update the documentation to be more specific on that point. Sorry, the initial audience for the Howto was highly technical people. Usually programmers. I never really intended it to be end-user friendly. Just logical.

But I'll try to update it.

I was stuck as well, but I finally got it going. I didn't have 'wget' on my N800, but once I got that installed, everything else was easy - I just cut and pasted your directions into xterm.

I did do one thing a bit different, and maybe this will help VCi15 with his situation. I already had Midnight Commander installed, so I just went thru it's file manager and edited the files that way.

I am wondering how to get this thing working, though. After following all directions, I rebooted. Once back up, I assume I am supposed to pair the stereo headset using the 'Bluetooth' applet in Control Panel. I did this, and it paired fine...of course, there are no profiles listed.

Now when I go into Kagu, I have the dimmed BT log in the upper right. If I click on it, it turns on and sets the volume, but no sound is coming thru my headphones. I am using those white Logitech BT headphones that were made for the iPod, but they work with any BT device, I have done it before.

Is there something I am missing? I assume the BT logo in Kagu launches the 'a2dpd' daemon that is referred in your directions. Maybe I missed something, or maybe I'm not supposed to pair the headphones if Kagu does that automatically.

Thanks in advance...

Correct. To see if both a2dpd and mplayer are in fact running in the background you should be able to run `ps auxwww | grep -E 'a2|mp'` in an xterm while kagu is running and the BT button is darkened and a song is playing (check the play time in the middle right of Kagu to see if it's actually playing).

No, pairing the headphones is correct. Before running Kagu, you can check to see if the headphones are in fact connected to the n800 by pressing the bluetooth icon in the task bar at the top of the screen. If they are connected, it should say "Disconnect ..." where "..." is the name of your headphones. If they are not connected, try turning them off then back on. Sometimes the headphones need a reboot too.

Have you successfully completed step 10? If not, go back and try that. If the headphones are connected, but you can't get step 10 to work, then something is probably wrong with your config and you should go back through the steps again.

Kagu's A2DP button is really just a convenient way to execute step 10.
