Re: [Announce] Opera Mobile 11

I can see that this does change the user agent, but it still didn't stop facebook and some other sites redirecting me to the mobile pages, which is why I got out the hex editor. Specifically,...

Re: [Announce] Opera Mobile 11

You are quite correct, I got the path wrong in my post there. I'll try to edit it in a moment.

I also get redirected on spiegel.de, you might be right about the arm stuff. So long as you have a...

Re: [Announce] Opera Mobile 11

Came across these posts whilst looking for a way to get flash going in Opera on my N900. Anyone know?

Anyway, for the facebook mobile redirection, and other mobile redirections ... well I have one...

Re: Printing with N900

Tried, didn't fix it, no /usr/share/cups/banner is the error I'm getting, re-purging all cups and ghostscript to see if that helps.

Is there a similar link situation that's supposed to go on...

Re: Printing with N900

OK:
purged cups-common
moved /usr/lib/cups to /opt/maemo/usr/lib/cups
put a link in /usr/lib to /opt/maemo/usr/lib/cup
apt-get install cups

All is well. As I say, I think something else is...

Re: Printing with N900

Hmm, just purged cups-common and I still have a /usr/lib/cups in place. I wonder if this is the problem - something else I have installed has set up that directory, so creating it as a link fails,...

Re: Printing with N900

Hey there,

It doesn't look much like that, no.
/usr/lib/cups is a directory (not a link) containing a filters subdirectory and nothing else, and I have no /opt/maemo/usr/lib/cups directory.

Re: Forum vs Reality - 9 months of research. Now I've bought it. Giant post

Like the review, just a couple of points -

1 - The charger, I just got a cheap-*** generic car-USB charger and all was fine when used with the cable that came with the N900. maybe this whole area...

Re: N900 PS3 Jailbreak Detailed How-To

So what to do now? I wonder if the problem is properly closed or if it's just a quick fix.

It's late here now but I wonder if there's some way to adapt this (on the N900) to do some sort of...

Re: What homebrew apps are out now for the PS3 ???

I would wait at least a few days before expecting much. Probably a bit longer.

I would expect there to be some rapid movement on getting linux running, which I know is not everyone's priority but...

Re: Is there any good games on the n900?

Can't believe it's not been mentioned!

Hex-a-hop is a great little puzzle game that kept me busy for many hours.

Re: How to execute commands in desktop files as root in PR1.2?

Myself I always used two scripts. One calls rootsh on the other, and the response is passed back up to the desktop command widget. Still seems to work in 1.2.

Re: connect pc to internet via n900

It's not quite that, but sort of. You don't need a dial up number, but you do need the access point settings, unless your linux distro has them built in and available, like the ones I mentioned.

It's pretty much that simple in liux too. In the latest Ubuntu and in Debian squeeze (what I run) you just plug in the usb and gnome's NetworkManager does the rest. It even has a dropdown list of...

Re: PR1.2 - upgrade on PR1.1 + Enhanced Linux Kernel ...Any problems?

I haven't used this enhanced kernel but my intuition would be that nokia will update the kernel in 1.2, so anything using features from the custom kernel you're using that are not available in the...

Re: The worst thing about the n900 is that is nokia!!!

I don't really disagree that more stuff would be nice, but here's the opposite point of view. One of the best things about the N900 is that it's Nokia.
