In good condition. I recently messed around with OpenBSD, so that's what's on there now. I assume any interested party would know how to put whatever ROM/distro on there they want, though I can restore the Sharp ROM if desired.
Comes with: -Original charger -USB host cable -stylus -2x batteries (original and Cameron Sino replacement; the latter holds at least some charge) -Wi-Fi card I'm thinking maybe $50 shipped within the US. I'd rather get this to somebody who would use it than make a killing, so feel free to make an offer. PMs should make it to me relatively quickly, assuming the forum's PM email notification works, as should replies here.

I built some non-Hildonized Webkit and Midori packages a while ago with N810-specific CFLAGS. It runs absolutely amazingly.
Sorry, Midori isn't a package, just a binary (tarred & gzipped). I'm too lazy to find/upload the extensions, but if people want them, I can dig them up. Anyway, enjoy!

Here's my simple how-to for installing Fluxbox on an N810 with Mer. N800 users may want to stay away, as this disables the built-in keyboard.
1. Install and remove some packages: CODE sudo apt-get remove osso-xterm sudo apt-get install fluxbox xterm 2. Make Fluxbox start up instead of Hildon stuff: CODE sudo rm /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager sudo cp /usr/bin/startfluxbox /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager 3. Edit some files for usability: CODE #~/.fluxbox/keys #Fullscreen button on top and window-switch button on face F16 :NextWindow Shift F6 :FullScreen # fullscreen button, -, and + (in that order); chenges mouse buttons F6 :exec xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3";xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr F8 :exec xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1";xsetroot -cursor_name right_ptr F7 :exec xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1 3";xsetroot -cursor_name hand2 #Requires chmodding, not necessary if you don't FUBAR / uninstall all of the Hildon stuff Shift F7 :exec echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard/brightness Shift F8 :exec echo 30 > /sys/class/leds/keyboard/brightness Control Mod1 Left :PrevWorkspace Control Mod1 Right :NextWorkspace # click on the desktop to get menus #Very nice to not have to change mouse buttons OnDesktop Mouse1 :HideMenus OnDesktop Double Mouse1 :RootMenu #whatever else you want to stick here CODE ! ~/.Xmodmap !

Reboot CODE sudo reboot You should boot into Fluxbox after that. EDIT: Added N810 package (eg, compiled with N810 CFLAGS) EDIT2: Corrected the path for x-session-manager

I can't remember if I've asked this before, but here goes: It it possible/feasable to USB network all of my ARM devices, running a common OS (Ubuntu/Debian, likely) and have a mini-cluster going to speed up native builds? It would seem that with 2 Zaurii and an N810 (and hopefully a Pandora soon), I could get things built 2-3x faster, which would be nice.
I suspect something with distcc could be done, but my impression is that that ignores the "host" CPU (eg, if I started the build on the N810, only the two Zaurii would actually do work), making it less than optimal. Is that correct? Anyway, thoughts, how-tos, etc.? EDIT: It looks completely possible. I guess this thread will likely turn into a how-to once I get around to it. EDIT 2: Changed the thread title, see the next post for the tutorial.

It's recently come to my attention that I've got files I'd rather not have other people just looking at (personal info, contacts, etc.), so I figured making an encrypted volume in which to store said data was a good idea.
The biggest problem I have right now is deciding what software to use. What are people using and what do people recommend? I'm looking for something that's popular enough to be in many distros' repos, preferably with not too much overhead (I'm know encryption takes some CPU time, but I'm not running a supercomputer here). TrueCrypt is masked under Gentoo (apparent legal issues or something, but I can get it built if it's the best choice), FWIW. Thanks in advance. EDIT: Nevermind... I just installed TrueCrypt. If you still want to post what you use, feel free to do so, however. |
