It would be nice to reformat contents from :

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a85BouTEB_Cr-K4StgDspSXUeWps-MwsA9gEyYtfrDI/edit

Keywords: N9 N950 Harmattan


Here is a copy as date of <2015-05-24> , please format this dump :

Edit: I noticed this was already there

http://wiki.maemo.org/Harmattan_Tips_and_Workarounds

Let's then create subsections from this page ? and then group it all there ?

ie :

SORT IN PROGRESS

Maps, GPS etc :

TIPS

The focus of this doc is gathering: How-To's, Workarounds for issues, Mods/Tweaks, Killer Apps, & maybe more main sections? We need more readers to become editors, so the main sections can have sub-sections created. And so that new and outdated content, can be added and removed more regularly. Sister TMO thread is here....

You can do it in the terminal on the phone like this, otherwise Handbrake's excellent.

I’m not aware of any transcoding software like Handbrake, but for Maemo. Reduce N900 power consumption (much of it applicable to N9 owners)

Handy *nix Cmds

In most cases need to authenticate with: devel-su + rootme

Various system info output:

cat /proc/cpuinfo


To determine if a package is installed:

dpkg -l <package name> OR dpkg -l | grep <package name> (the "-l" is a small L)

Installed indicates with a "ii" and un-installed with "un" in-front of the package.

If output is empty then it doesn't exist in the repo, & needs to be installed via browser.

To see packages a package depends on (dependencies):

apt-cache showpkg <package name>

Installing a package...

pkgmgr install -V -p <package name> free -m

Overcome pkmgr lock file issue that’s stopping a uninstall:

killall -q pkgmgrd rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock apt-get remove <package name>
