Your help is greatly appreciated
You can only reach this location via a terminal/ssh session and you'll need root permissions in order to copy things to there.

This is not recommend if you don't have some Linux knowledge .

Could anyone make a quick step-by-step video for installing the start up and panoramic desk top back ground. If nothing else it would give you a reason to play with your device ( like you really need one).


plz :-)

Thanks for the videos they are quite cool.
However, I think the "shiny" effect is not necessary.

Flyby is looking great, however I wonder if you would have a version of if without any logos in bottom, I personally would like a cleaner look.

Hi! I am a rookie in this community and I'm not a linux expert.
However I am glad to give you my help.

Step By step boot video change for N900:

1- go to the repository menu of N900
2- Install ssh server on N900
3- ssh on installation will ask you for a password (choose one)
4- go to your main PC and download a free ssh client with a graphic interface (it's much easier to use for a newbie) like winscp.
5- in your N900 launch xterminal and type: sudo gainroot
6- in x terminal type then: ifconfig
7- ifconfig will show you r ip address (of course you MUST be connected to a wireless lan with your N900 )
8- open winscp and login to this ip address.
login:root password: your passord
9- go tho /usr/share/hildon-welcom/media and copy the boot video you want.
10- ho to /etc/hildon-welcom.d/ and copy default.conf to ypur PC
11-open in your PC default.conf with notepad and modify it with the name of the new video
12- save without changing name of the file
13- replace the file .conf in N900
14- disconnect and restart N900.

That's it...

I hope to have been useful

The SSH function is exactly what I need until a better file manager comes along.

Isn't it a bit complicated? The video can be downloaded straight to the device (right?) or just transferred from pc the usual way. The n900 itself has a terminal. There's no need to ssh into it if you have it in your hand
EDIT: it occurred to me you might not be able to edit text files on the n900 without installing a text editor. Does maemo 5 have a text editor included?
