[HOW-TO] OpenVPN on the command line

When browsing the running services with systemctl I noticed that connman-vpn.service was running. So I checked the nemo repository and it contained an openvpn package. Turns out OpenVpn works on the...

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

I was sick of having to source the .bashrc manually in the terminal. Unfortunately it seems you can't automate this easily. To still get a nice shell I change the fingerterm.desktop to login locally...

Re: Personal thoughts and critics about Jolla/Sailfish OS

I have the same issues with the wifi/connection manager; too little control and too many steps to the configuration screen. The option for automatic connections is alright, as long as it isn't the...

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

Don't know if it's been posted yet anywhere, but to get internet radio capability (in a limited form) into the Media player, create a playlist file with content like below and save it as an .m3u file...

Re: About Sailfish community

Thanks for the response. I do think I see where you're coming from and I don't mean to sound combatitive if I come off that way. I have two Jollas coming to my family and we have a mix of N9s and...

Re: About Sailfish community

I appreciate stezz reaching out here, but imo there's been a misconception about what people here expected or would like from Jolla. It's not that everyone expects the same work output from Jolla as...

Re: About Sailfish community

I agree about the bugtracker. If the first devices that are in people's hands now are to be used as a beta testing ground before the "proper" launch later on this phase needs to be exploited to its...

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

The foundation of this idea is very promising and has the potential of making it far in the current maker and indie culture.

There are a few points to make which I think are critical for a wider...

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms

I was thinking about this potential security risk as well. If the other half connection is done via USB it might be even worse since data will probably be loaded or maybe even run automatically from...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

He says it almost verbatim in this interview (http://pocketnow.com/2013/05/20/jolla-interview-marc-dillon). He also himself mentions examples of use as a bigger flash and bigger battery, so it's not...

Buzzwords

Some concerns and questions, hopefully factual enough.



Regarding the "other half"

What is called by jolla "a mobile revolution"¹ seems to fit the description of regular auto-run...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

The back over thing sounds mildly promising, IF it has a powerful enough interface to the low-level parts of the main phone part.

Now to vent some steam, because I care about Jolla (or what they...

Re: [Board] Open Letter from the Hildon Foundation to Jolla

Very well formulated letter, though I'm not thrilled by their response. It's basically just empty phrases and I'm getting very weary (and wary) of their constant marketing speak (let's be unlike,...

Just found this (can't believe it's escaped my attention until now) and I'm definitely interested and excited for how it all turns out!

Best of luck!

Re: Widelands - maemo port

What am I doing wrong? If I was able to update...

Re: First Tizen developer smartphone from Samsung

This sounds interesting. I was very sceptical towards yet another remix (and the names just get worse), but at least they seem to be actually going to release devices running it.

Now, does anyone...

Re: N9: It's finally here

On a side-note, why do all the major phone OS's nowadays (including the N9 apparently) have just a huge grid-list of installed apps? I use catorise on my N900 and I could seriously never go back....

Re: Why I am getting a Nokia N9 (are you?)

I can't help but be ambivalent about the N9.

Yes, I desperately want Meego to become a success, due to the same reasons stated by the OP (more freedom of choice and use in mobile phones).

Yet I...
