Nokia N900: some problems with latest PR 1.1.1 firmware
17 febbraio 2010 - Fonte: http://www.andreagrandi.it
I don't know if it's just a case or if I'm the only one who had these problems, but I'll report them anyway, maybe somebody had my same problem and we could try to prepare a proper bug report to make the Maemo team fix them.
Infinite boot loop after upgradeFirst of all I have to say that before upgrading to PR 1.1.1 I checked if I had enough space on the rootfs. I only had 27 Mb and so I decided to remove some unused applications, deleted some *.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives and disabled extras repositories. Of course I also did a backup of all my configuration. After the cleaning operation I had near 60 Mb free on rootfs, enough to install the upgrade.
I closed all running applications, started the application manager and began the upgrade. After the upgrade was completed,...

Introduction
As many of you already know, Fon is a spanish company that some years ago had the interesting idea of creating a wifi community to share the Internet connection. The idea is quite simple: each "fonero" buy a Fonera (the router sold by Fon), register it on the Fon system and get a username/password. If the fonero travels around the world he's able to connect to wifi signal of other foneras and browse the web for free.
When I bought my first fonera few years ago, I was one of the first people in my city. I bought it because I was really beliving in this project. During...
