New page

=Setup=
Now that the device is debricked, I can use the thing again and "all" my data is there, but the repository setup is back to default and the applications I want are gone, amongst other things. To re-setup:

==ssh server & keys==
* Enable [[Extras]] [http://repository.maemo.org/ repository]: tap, tap, tap...
* Install openssh client/server package
* Install rootsh package
* Set up keys and such for easy access (my device hostname is burger):
* On laptop, ssh into the sucker:
ssh root@burger
* As root on N900, ssh to localhost as a quick/dirty way to setup /root/.ssh:
ssh localhost
* On laptop, copy over ssh key and log back in:
scp -p ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@burger:.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh root@burger
*To allow ssh access for user "user", the passwd file needs to be edited.
vi /etc/passwd
* Change
user:!:
to
user:*:
* Set a password for user "user" (I couldn't ssh in without doing this, but someone on IRC said it wasn't necessary):
passwd user
* Switch user to "user" and blow out the old known_hosts (or at least edit it) to remove the now bogus "localhost" entry:
su - user
rm .ssh/known_hosts
* Quick/dirty way to set up /home/user/.ssh:
ssh localhost
* Then GTFO:
exit
exit
* This should work happily
ssh user@burger

==Packages==
===Set up Repositories===
* Configure the repositories to set up things I like:
# vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/mr0 ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free
deb http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/tools free

apt-get update

Apparently the above gets blown out if you run the hildon application manager, so the repos need to be added via tap tap tap.

===Install Needed Packages===
apt-get install x11vnc
apt-get clean && sync

Mas y mas y mas

apt-get install vim bash htop ogg-support less file strace
apt-get clean && sync

Perhaps

apt-get install python-dbus python-gobject sysklogd klogd
apt-get clean && sync

Mas y mas y mas y mas y mas. The really big list...

mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache/archives/
mkdir -p /home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache/archives/partial
apt-get -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache etc...

==Configuration==
Here's some configuration settings that got lost on reflash. I'm not sure where they are stored, so they need to be re-setup via tap tap tap. Note: if you do a backup on the device you may be able to then run restore which refreshes this, making the below unnecessary; untested.

The below are mostly stored in gconf under /system/osso/dsm/display, I believe these should be restored as per the back-up/restore application. - codeMonkey

===Display===
* Settings-->Display-->Backlight time-out: 2 minutes
* Settings-->Display-->Lock screen automatically: uncheck
* Settings-->Display-->Display stays lit when charging: check

===Text input===
* Settings-->Text input-->Word completion: uncheck
* Settings-->Text input-->Auto-capitalization: uncheck
* Settings-->Text input-->Insert space after word: uncheck
* Settings-->Text input-->2nd language: Español (América Latina)
* Settings-->Text input-->Use dual dictionaries: check

===Time Zone===
* Settings-->Date and time-->Time Zone: Buenos Aires (this is unfortunately wrong due to incompetence of Argentine government)
* Settings-->Date and time-->Update automatically: leave unchecked for now. When timezone data gets fixed, check it.

===Connectivity===
* Settings-->Connectivity-->Internet connections-->Search interval: 5 minutes

===General===
* Settings-->General-->Device lock-->Change lock code (default is 12345)

===Email Accounts===
* Region: Argentina
* Service Provider: Gmail -- I broke down and got a gmail acct :(
* Account title: Gmail
* Name: Jeff Moe
* User name: jebbasan
* Password: foo

==Misc==
echo ":syntax on" > ~/.vimrc

* Uh, where should this be put, if no bash? In ~/.profile for busybox.
export TERM=xterm-color

* To remove the overcute hands shaking at bootup (and therefore boot faster), edit /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf thusly:
[hildon-welcome]
#filename=Hands-v32-h264.avi
You could also put in a different movie (playable by gstreamer), but a still image will not work.
