[Hackers/Devs Only] Collection of Low-Level Config-Files / Tools
In this thread I'd like to collect a list of system configuration files, lowlevel-tools and oneliners. When there's enough content, I will make a wiki-page. Feel free to contribute :-) !
Remember: Modify these files only if you know what you're doing! Understanding how to work with textbased applications is a must! Type Code:
<command> --help Interesting System/Hardware config files in Maemo 5: Powerbutton-Interface: Code:
/etc/systemui/systemui.xml Code:
/etc/mce/mce.ini Code:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/ Code:
/etc/apt/sources.list Instead, you should edit: Code:

Nice.. some quick comments
For the shortcuts you can link to the wiki page: http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_shortcuts_and_gestures About the "apt-get dist-upgrade"; it should be removed completely. It doesn't work like in Debian. |

This is also a nice page to have in your collection:

Great topic idea for devel/customization, I'll keep an eye there ;)

Would be a great idea to have some man on maemo (even as extra package) for cli programs... |
Re: [Hackers/Devs Only] Collection of Low-Level Config-Files / Tools
The problem is that even if you had man, you wouldn't get the man pages because HAM is set up to not install docs and manpages to save space. I have 48G on my device, yet need to save a few k of manpages, gah.

Re: [Hackers/Devs Only] Collection of Low-Level Config-Files / Tools
Editing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list directly is pointless since HAM overwrites it.
Instead, you should edit: Code:
/etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues Code:
hildon-application-manager-config add FILE |
Thanks, I didn't realize that, because I never use HAM ;-)
Added some information how to setup X-Forwarding. Does somebody know how to get this output to xephyr in a oneliner or a little script? Probably this would provide a better view. |
Re: [Hackers/Devs Only] Collection of Low-Level Config-Files / Tools
Just upgraded to PR1.1 with this command:
Code:
apt-get dist-upgrade EDIT: I was a little quick to post this ;-) If you don't want to experiment, don't do this :P I'm still working on some issues... mostly because of not enough space on rootfs. EDIT2: Bricked it while updating. It just restarted and wouldn't come up anymore. Seems this is NOT a proper way to do such a big update ;-) ... |
