Hi,
First, thanks for doing this - much appreciated. I am an old unix hacker from many years gone by. Now a manager but still like my N900 and want to play nethack. Two questions:
Thanks again for doing this - I hope to be playing soon!

First, thanks for doing this - much appreciated. I am an old unix hacker from many years gone by. Now a manager but still like my N900 and want to play nethack. Two questions:
- When I download and try to install, I get errors: control return error exit status 2. Any ideas? I am SU
- I am trying to let my kids play. In the old days, there was a debug mode and you could get "wands of wishings". I wanted to do that so my kids could have some fun.
Thanks again for doing this - I hope to be playing soon!

1. How exactly are you downloading it? Try running "sudo apt-get install unnethack" from the shell; does it give an error?
2. Try pressing shift-x in the game.

I've also updated to the latest version today.
1. Thanks for changing the config file ownership to user from root as earlier requested.
2. What happened to the default color layout? I am unable to see my player now which makes the game totally unplayable.
3. I also noticed that installing the new version overwrote my previous config file unless it is renamed to a filename we were not made aware of.
Thanks for your continued efforts.

Something is really wrong if you're not able to see the player!
Can you send me a screenshot demonstrating this? You can take one by pressing ctrl-shift-p.
I'll definitely fix the annoying config file business once I figure out how to handle it properly.

I am sure I am doing something really, really dumb.
When I put the "sudo" in front, it asks for a password (which I do not have).
When I do sudo gainroot (to get su access) and then run "apt-get install unnethack" it says...
...reading package lists...done
...building dependency tree...done
...reading state information....done
E: Couldn't find package unnethack
Like I said, I know I am doing something really, really stupid. Thanks!

sudo gainroot and then apt-get. That´s correct way.
From first post link you can see that package is in testing. So you have to enable testing repository before apt-get can find it. More information about this from wiki.

That's OK, you probably just don't have extras-testing enabled.
The reason it's not updating for you is most likely that you have changed /home/user/.unnethackrc. Delete or rename the file and it should update.

The problem is that nethack is designed to run with a white-text-on-black-background colorscheme, and nokia's terminal isn't smart enough to handle a reversed black-on-white color scheme properly.
For now I've patched the scripts to change the color scheme on game start and change them back on exit. This is a very crude solution, but seems to work OK.
Check it out:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...hack/3.5.3-17/
I haven't figured out what to do with configfiles, since the game expects that there be only one configfile on the system... (Thus, I can't create a default configfile in /etc while letting the user set his own options in /user/home.)

You were right - I did not have extras-testing enable. Doowp!!!
All works well now except....the colors
My colors are such that I cannot really play.
Do I need to install curses? What do I do to get playable colors?
Also - how can I update the icon to use the icon in the 2nd message?
Thanks again for making this available and for your help and support!
