when I open the x terminal no the n800 it is completely blank, no prompt, nothing. no key commands will bring up the prompt. When I attempt to ssh in, I only get stdin: is not a tty.

my last actions were copying some ssh keys to the nokia.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the terminal, but that doesnt help. I have cycled the power as well.

please, does anyone have suggestions?

Does this happen with all users? This would help to know if the problem lies in the user part or in the system part...

My way of adding a user is:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install adduser
adduser dummy
