My Nokia E65 almost gone

Today I was trying to update my Nokia E65

I was very careful as the data connection is always loose

During the firmware update
the connection lost
I was so desperate that I stop the process
and forgot to read the warning that
PC suite will report error that the connection lost

I dun know what to do and
I take out the battery and can not get the hp turn on

So for one or more hour I keep trying to update the firmware
even though the hp has no respond screen
It has passed 5pm and Nokia care centre has been closed for Sunday

After many tries, miracle happens
the time for the update reduce to 2min
Finally it said the update has completed

I crossed my finger and take out battery then switch on
The hp turn on after many prayers in my heart

Even though I would like to change hp but I dun want to change in this circumstances

But the blessing is that I recovered the original black scheme
I also manage to install fring and get it works
That is the biggest reward as I was able to make VoIP call

山寨网本

在发出电邮给朋友关于山寨网本后
搜索到 山寨umpc


可放入口袋 俄罗斯“山寨”UMPC也能爽玩Win7

可惜还是给外国人强了先机
但如果能把价格降下来
如加上 linux
去掉 1390

加上 WIFI
给多点内存
加上手机功能

就比如现在的山寨手机

那就好了。。。

need to remember few commands to run file manger

I start to use the x-window but I can only run those command in terminal mode I can use sudo -i but I can not activate the file manager in ubuntu by luck I found it is call the root@kohfamily-desktop:/usr/java# nautilus ** (nautilus:5175): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing. [when i try to copy this portion, as window user i use CTRL-C and it stop the process ] now i remember i can use #nautilus & or use CTRL-Z to run in the background anyway, for the time being it is working Still i need to run terminal by activating in file manager as previous in Solaris environment I will able to open terminal with directory where ever the file manager stop It save the typing in terminal mode BTW. the command # xterm & run the x-windows terminal and black background seem better for me to read but then nautilus & still better to use as it has copy and paste further more i found that i can toggle directory location bar to text base. So i can copy and paste into the terminal The other command I remember now is df . And the command df give kohfamily@kohfamily-desktop:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb2 10309828 2761676 7024436 29% / tmpfs 222284 0 222284 0% /lib/init/rw varrun 222284 112 222172 1% /var/run varlock 222284 0 222284 0% /var/lock udev 222284 160 222124 1% /dev tmpfs 222284 76 222208 1% /dev/shm lrm 222284 2192 220092 1% /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/volatile /dev/sdb3 6815184 240248 6228736 4% /home /dev/sdb1 16334 11016 5318 68% /media/Ubuntu Inst /dev/sda1 71139568 23570044 47569524 34% /media/disk

how to create a bootable usb hdd

I still amid of experiment but that how i do it along with ubuntu help most of the time I access help via https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html how to get there is via Ubuntu Documentation > Ubuntu 9.04 > Ubuntu Installation Guide > Obtaining System Installation Media > Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting I boot up using ubuntu live cd I used the partition editor (Gparted) to partition my 40 HDD 2.5" HDD to create the smallest partition 18mb FAT 16 the second partition is 10Gb EXT 3 / third partition 6Gb EXT 3 /home last partition 2Gb SWAP I committed the action Then I got problem continue so I continue to install the ubuntu on the ext hdd I have to install Gpart as not in std installation #apt-get install gpart but i take a rest next day I read the ubuntu help again and it is much clearer the first partition i created is /dev/sda1 download to /tmp fr netboot/boot.img.gz # zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda1 All the files are there ! [last night I struggle to copy the system file vmlinuz (kernel binary) initrd.gz (initial ramdisk image) but it is either not able to be copied in the installed sytem or I do not it is contained in the casper directory in the LiveCD ] then i #mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt try to use vi but forgot all command so i use the text editor and found the files in the /mnt directory change the file syslinux.cfg include menu.cfg default vesamenu.c32 prompt 0 timeout 0 to default vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.gz only ========================== THIS PORTION is found to be fatal and wrong after that root@ubuntu:/mnt# cd / root@ubuntu:/# umount /mnt root@ubuntu:/# root@ubuntu:/# install-mbr /dev/sda1 The program 'install-mbr' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install mbr -bash: install-mbr: command not found root@ubuntu:/# root@ubuntu:/# apt-get install mbr after installing ... mbr root@ubuntu:/# install-mbr /dev/sda1 THIS PORTION does not work for HDD and distroy all the works done as in the rest of section ================================================ let try and it should works I try on old PC and does not work but it does work well on HP nx6325 notebook
