Did you disable/delete the Ovi chat account like Pavel suggested?

How to copy the strings in vim to external apps?

Hello list,

This is my first post to this list :)

the vim on n900 is fine, but I don't known how to copy the text to other  
external apps, a way is pressing the shift key then copy the text, but  
it's hard to operate and can't be bound to a key for quick operation. I'm  
curious why registers "* and "+ don't work on n900, any other workarounds?

Is anyone maintaining Firefox for Maemo 5?

Hi,

Since Mozilla stopped releasing Firefox for Maemo 5 after version 7,
and has bumped Maemo down to Tier 3 platform status, has anyone in the
community or at Nokia taken over maintaining a current Firefox for
Maemo package?

Thanks,
Paul

N770 firmware still available somewhere?

Hi!

At some point I installed HE onto my old 770, but it caused it
to crash all the time. As I got a 810 (and then a 900), I didn't
bother doing anything about it, but now I think it is a pity to
leave the hardware unused. I wanted to downgrade to the non-HE
firmware, but seems the Nokia server for the firmware is not
working any more. :(

If you install OS2006 you'll probably also want to install the patched
wifi driver from <https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2006> to fix
the memory corruption bug (ironically the later HE firmware versions
include the fix and thus are more stable than the official releases).

<http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_770.php> still looks fine from here.

Thanks! Unfortunately on my 770 the HE reboots every 5 minutes or so :(

Looks fine for me too, but when actually trying to download the
firmware, I get:

"Corrupted Content Error

 The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in
 the data transmission was detected.

Hm, searching for that message shows it's a common problem with firefox
version >= 7, so try a different browser first.  If it fails
consistently then it might be an akamai problem, in which case file a
bug report under
<https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=maemo.nokia.com%20Website>.

For what it's worth I was able to download
SU-18_2006SE_3.2006.49-2_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin (and its md5sum matches the
published one) so if it's a network problem at least it looks like a
local one.  You could try downloading it from a different IP range
perhaps?

Ah, yes! Downloads OK with Chromium! Thanks!

That sounds sensible cause latest android devices should have enough
power to run firefox more fluidly than on the n900.

Have a nice sunday!
