| Sir_Robin | hi - I'm a newcomer here, but I managed to obtain friends old N800 couple years ago... I love it, but it's more of a retro-computer (handheld) for me at the point... I'd love to check for whatrepositories are actually recommended and I suspect that my friend has messed some stuff up - like last time I tried to install nano from terminal, it couldn't because the package depended on some libcurses ... | 22:49 |
|---|---|---|
| Sir_Robin | = ...version that wasn't there... But no hurry right now, just introducing myself | 22:49 |
| Sir_Robin | also looking up for possibility of running Meego on Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet/Laptop (detachable screen, the computer is all inside that) - and I'd love to find the ideal Linux DE for tablet use, mostly with a "pen" | 22:52 |
| Sir_Robin | but I just joined here now and have no time to fiddle with it now - like said, just introducing myself | 22:52 |
| bencoh | welcome aboard :) | 22:57 |
| Sir_Robin | thanks - I've loved the OS (and already loved Linux - and back when I firstt heard of it I could have died for a phone that's actually a real handheld Linux PC <3 and that | 23:04 |
| Sir_Robin | and thats without even having seen how nice it's designed - and stuff like how you can run other desktop linux images on it as well, I was amazed when I dug into how it was implemented | 23:05 |

| Sir_Robin | If they hadn't had so many issues (like infighting between Symbian and Maemo/Meego teams), really bad business decisions, etc. considering the state of smart- and pre-smart-phones when N900 came out (with 32GB storage before 2010 - and a screen that doesn't break when you stare it too intently - they could be the no. 1 smartphone. iPhone wouldhave succeeded because it's about the brand, but ... | 23:23 |
| Sir_Robin | = ...Android would have had no chance if Nokia had kept improving the OS and releasing new Linux smartphones... well, too bad | 23:23 |
| KotCzarny | naaah, it was too smart for generic public | 23:23 |
| KotCzarny | as for the repos, i assume you saw the page at wiki.maemo ? | 23:24 |
| Sir_Robin | KotCzarny: I don't know, I think they did pretty good at making it quite simple if you didn't want to dig deeper... but yes, I was already looking the repo pages a while ago, and bookmarked them (on my laptop) | 23:25 |
| Sir_Robin | btw, I'm fairly certain I just saw couple days ago a YT video of someone trying out Meego on VirtualBox - so I assume it's available for x86[-64] systems just as well as for arm devices...? | 23:48 |
| Sir_Robin | oh yes, arm and x86 - nice... so it's an option for that ThinkPad Tablet/Laptop hybrid | 23:59 |
