Thsi time my N800 wasn't in keylock mode. It was just in normal sleep overnight when after waking up the screen with stylus it does not recognize any front panel key presses, nor the full screen and + and - keys on the top. Only the power button works. After reboot all the buttons work.
In other words this problem does not only appear during keylock mode. It has something to do with the powersave/sleep mode in general.
EDIT: added my 2 cents into bugzilla bug #2311.

Yeah it happened to me twice in a row and then worked fine the other times. I actually went back to OS2007 anyway because of not enough apps, so I don't know if it would have been a continual thing, or just was randomly doing it twice in a row for me.

GPE does work on OS2008, but you need to use the experimental dist at:

(add "deb http://www.cobb.uk.net/apt/ chinook experimental" to your
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list )

I tried, but it didn't help. However uninstalling the "gizmo-installer" package with:
Did let me install Gizmo from their repo via App ManagerCode:dpkg -r gizmo-installer

If you are sure of yourself, you have to tell dpkg to force overwritting files.
This is a very common error.Code:dpkg --force-overwrite -i packagename.deb
Another way to do it, directly from apt-get:
Removing the conflicting file doesn't help because the list of files is stored somewhere.Code:apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install packagename

You have to be root. There are various ways to do this. One is to install becomroot. This can be found at maemo.org under the 2006 software, IIRC. A search for "becomeroot maemo" on google may get you there sooner though... sorry i don't know the link ottomh. btw this dpkg -r gizmo-installer method worked for me.

Just a thought for those trying to use the Ubuntu live cd to do this flash and are having USB problems - Have you tried hitting F6 and adding any (or all) of the following options at the end of the startup string: noapic noacpi noirqdebug ?
