Very strange!!! I've just changed the date to XXhXXmXXs because I found that Windows didn't like the ':'. And my tests on the Nokia where made with this new name, so I didn't see the problem. Sorry! I think this is because of the file-system on the MMC: I guess it is fat, and fat does not seem to support ':'...

Yes its is FAT - otherwise Windows would not be able to read it when Nokia tablet is connected via USB.

There are ways (hacks) to partition a card and have one partition FAT and the other(s) *nix/Maemo.

Sorry,
it really seems to be the symbolic link mechanism, as my N770 slows down and eats memory and wastes cpu-time.

The bug: 
metalayer-crawler will continue forever crawling the entire filesystem

Fixed in chinook and diablo, but that does not help us on bora.

Now I need help to purge the symbolic link. :-(

You are so right!

The Linux world seems (to me) to be very introspective - a geek 'cult'. It is almost as if they don't want 'normal people' to take part.

If you can't read and understand source code and if you don't have a thorough grasp of the OS they don't seem to want you to play with them.

Once I've got Papywizard set up and working reliably on my Nokia 770 I'm hoping to do some work, with others, on the Papywizard Wiki so that it is more intelligible for 'the rest of us'.

BTW how does one remove the symbolic links?

just start xterm, then:

rm name_of_the_symbolic_link

in my case: rm Root
or: rm ./MyDocs/Root

-----------------------------------

N770 does not eat up all mem as before
File Manager works fine, copy to MMC (filenames no colon) works fine

I can't remember now what symbolic links I set. So I think maybe I'll have to reflash the OS and start all over again.

When you say yiu can now copy papywizard data.xml files from filesystem to MMC are you talking about using the gpe-filemanager?

I have uninstalled gpe-filemanager as Frederic asked. Will I need it to do the file transfer?
........
As much as I prefer the physical design of the 770 over the 800 and 810 I am wishing now that I had spent a bit more and got an 800. It seems as if the 770 was perhaps never really ready for 'prime time' and it will never run OS2008.

I'm sure the 770 can be made to run Papywizard reliably but there seems to be so much else it can't/won't  do that an 800 would.

Oh well....

Andrew, there is also a OS2008 firmware for the 770:

Copying should work with both file managers, now.

Not so, the default file manager cannot see the whole filesystem without the symbolic link that seems to cause major problems.

But gpe-filemanager can do it OK - if you use Copy and Paste; you cannot use Move. But attempting to rename (menu/File/Rename) a file (on the filesystem or MMC) causes gpe-filemanager to crash.

I still feel that this solution is rather 'clunky'.

That URL goes nowhere.

Funny: it works fine under Konqueror, but not with firefox!

After reading this I don't think I'll try it:

Ok, so forget it.

Does Papywizard still crash when opening the Help menu?

Yes.

Could you try without load-applet, and without gpe-filemanager?

???!!??? I've just check on my Nokia: now it works with r918, but crashs with r927 (not yet online). But it used to crash also with 918...

Can you try the r927:

http://www.gbiloba.org/download/papywiz … 27_all.deb

This version outputs the init response from the Merlin when connecting. I would like you give me this answer. For that, turn on the debug log level (from configuration menu), then connect to the head. Then, opens the Help > View log menu. If this menus crashes the app, start it from the xterm ($ papywizard.sh), and read the log on the xterm.

You should read something like:

I would like to understand why some head turn fast, and other not...

Don't think this is what you want but....

I re-flashed to OS2007HE (latest Fiasco) as mentioned previously then re-installed Python,osso x-term, gpe-filemanager and Papywizard 1.0 (via catalogue) . I did not install Load Applet.

Papywizard Help menu crashed when selected.

Then I uninstalled Papywizard 1.0 from Application Manager and installed Papywizard r927.

Help menu still crashes.

Ran Papywizard from x-term and it failed to load/run.

Here's the x-term output:
BusyBox v1.4.1 (2007-03-12 19:00:25 EET) Built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

So I removed papywizard.conf (why did uninstall not remove that?) and ran Papywizard (not from x-term) and it loads and runs but Help menu still crashes the program.

I have still not got my 4201 soldered up so cannot connect it to the Merlin to run your other test, sorry.

..............

Strangely enough the Help menu was working with r918 last night - previously it had always crashed the program - before I had my major no-boot problem after a freeze up. I was on a different Wifi connection/location but I can't see why that should have made any difference.

Do you mean that when startedfrom xterm, Papywizard immediatly crashes, whithout opening the Help menu?

Yes, r927 did before I removed the papywizard.conf file left from previous install of 1.0.

And I posted what I got from x-term as program attempted to load/run.
