I do not want to remove Pidgin as I use it quite frequently on a daily basis..

'apt-get install pidgin' reinstalls it obviously...

Hi, I followed along the tutor in command line, since I'm lack of ssh Im noob to Linux, but used dos before so it was easier for me that way, I just needed to look up some of the commands Anyway I previously used .deb file to install sims, so I had a menu icon already which obviously not working now :P. I created a new one that works, but its the all section only (catorise). I found the previously created icon in /usr/share/applications/hildon that points to a shell script.
1.) If I edit that to the new location /home/user/games... would that work?
2.) Any chance someone knows where I can find the other icon?It is still a nightmare for me to find files in rootfs

Thanks in advance and thanks for the tutorial.

PS: Maxximuscool could you add a sum which folder should contain which file, its rather confusing now.

I have just edited the path in the script /usr/bin/*com-ea-app-sims, works like a charm now. Still If anyone could help me where is the other icon I created is located would be appreciated. I used:
root
preenv
desktopgen /home/user/Games/Sim3/appinfo.json

I tried this for Asphalt5 - but I have one small problem here...
1) used 7zip to extract - success
2) used WINSCP to connect to N900 - success (however this connection keeps dropping) I don't know why. I use ping from N900 to check the connection, then it immediately connects via SSH.
3) Created the folders. as directed.
4) I tried with the chaning permissions. I could not do this as it says no such user group or user ..I am not sure what 29999 signifies in N900.
5) I was able to do symlink..
6) But when I tried desktopgen after preenv...I get this message.
Asphalt5 is not executable.
7) I checked via ls -l and yes the permission set is
-rw-r--r-- user root against all the files in the Asphalt5 folder.
otherwise all folders are rwxrwxrwx
Also I tried using chmod 7777 * in the Asphalt5 . it executes with no success..

what am I doing wrong?

also how these roles work (root/user). like why I need root access while doing SSH. I had to set password to do this. as my WINSCP was not connecting otherwise. Also if we set password for root via passwd ..won't it create problems elsewhere..
what is default password for user.

please guide

I had no idea... I have the *.ipk file.

Hello
I create this tutorial for my self, based on the wiki..
Tested on my phone and it's work.. Maybe someone want this method too...
This is two methods - regular and save space on home/user. Just copy the command and paste into the terminal...



I updated the NFS tutorial.. now it's working perfect from MyDocs

If I want to remove a game after following this guide, what do I need to do? Everytime I try to remove my game folder through X-term I get an error saying that the files are read only files. I tried through SSH and it also didn't work. Help?
