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 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.
