Hi guys, I want to restore my Booklet, but I didn’t have the drivers. Do you know where I can find all of them?

Try here: https://sizeof.cat/post/nokia-booklet-3g/

Would seriously consider replacing HDD with SSD if you haven't already: http://tech.slupik.com/2010/05/nokia...d-upgrade.html

I have just installed Q4OS distro on my Booklet and I'm finally happy. Up to date linux and working. Installed smtube and then downloaded updated smplayer version and installed it with sudo dpkg -i from download folder and installed up to date youtube-dl and videos play perfectly with audio and can watch youtube with smplayer without problems.

Firefox works well too. I use blank page for startup and don't use many tabs and have ublock extension added and set firefox not to remember history. Youtube videos run also with firefox.

Also libreoffice writer works well 'cause this distro is less ram hungry.

Brightness and sound control keys works as they should.

Had some problems connecting to hotspot (the network didn't show straight) but it works now too. Had to use "connect to new network" option.

Till now I'm using ubuntu 16.04 on my Nokia Booklet 3G with the linux graphic drivers from intel. After your post I think, it's time to try something new .

Questions:
  • Are you using TDE, not KDE Plasma?
  • How many ram is used by the system after booting?
  • What updated smplayer deb archive file are you using?
  • You have no problem with sound and video, if you run youtube videos in Firefox?
  • Can you connect to the internet with 3G?

Thank's for your time...

Trinity desktop. When you open like firefox or writer, it hesitates a bit and makes you wonder did you click to open but when it starts to open it opens quite fast.

Haven't checked the ram, may check today

Latest smplayer deb from their website. Watched 720p.

Yes, no problems, yet I think better not to run in full hd. Maybe full works too but tried only in a place with a bad network.

Not sure about 3G cause haven't tried. But it's debian so should not be a problem to install any missing packages.

With desktop loaded the memory use is 191M.
Firefox opened about 400M.
Libreoffice writer opened about 300M.

I played a bit changing the desktop one day. Not sure if something is messed up. I will install the system again and see if it works then.
