devel-su works for me, but unfortunatelly I’m not successfull with root@localhost and user@locahost, it says: “connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused”
Does anymore know whats the problem? Do I have to chance sth in etc/ssh/ssh_config or sshd_config?
Just running devel-su is fine. I don’t think there’s any point to sshing into localhost…
i ve downloaded QAD File Manager and accessing the Terminal from there, what is the next step after running devel-su and entering “rootme” password?
do i need to connect my phone to the pc or i have to complete the steps on my N9?
Minor typos, some missing spaces:
“dpkg-i filename.debThere are basically two ways to install Apps / Games on MeeGo – Nokia N9.”
should be:
“dpkg -i filename.deb
There are basically two ways to install Apps / Games on MeeGo – Nokia N9.”
Thanks a lot. That helps me too much.

To almost all above: rtfm (just joking:)) i’m a newbie too. >Read and exercise all you can, related to linux. Simply google .deb package and how to install it… I used ubuntu to learn basics. (invested some sleepless nights to make my external 5.1 soundcard running, tried out many things. libdvdcss2, alsa and other f**k, medibuntu, but compiling usb support to the kernel was too much! I love sleep, so i did give up. 1 month later, my soundcard was surprisingly supported, someone had made a running driver) They have a big and nice community with good support forums. It’s all the same with the different versions of linux, only a few specialities for each. The syntaxes and chroot are always similar when not the same. Just do it, it’s rewarding. Hit me when i’m wrong
