Last December I acquired a Nokia N810 internet tablet. Now for those of you who aren’t familiar with this device, the Nokia N810 is an internet tablet that you can use for web browsing, listening to music, reading e-books, VOIP calls or what have you. In the end it’s basically a pocket sized computer.<\/p>\n
For more detailed information please view: http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nokia_N810<\/a><\/p>\n The main reason why I had interest in this device, was due to a certain time when I was browsing the web, and I stumbled upon this Irongeek<\/a> page.<\/p>\n I thought to myself, “Well how cool is that? This is essentially a poor man’s Iphone that has a keyboard and is Linux based. Also, getting one used on Ebay would cost < 200 dollars.”<\/p>\n After making the final decision and purchasing one for a mere $176, I quickly turned it into a portable pentesting machine!<\/p>\n To gain root is trivial, just install this:<\/p>\n http:\/\/maemo.org\/downloads\/product\/OS2008\/rootsh\/<\/a><\/p>\n Here’s a list of some of the applications that I’ve put on my Nokia N810:<\/p>\n aircrack-ng This device though, hasn’t been without its headaches. I remember reading a warning on a website, that warned about installing duplicate repositories on your OS2008 (Diablo). Also here’s a link to a huge list of repositories that have these oh so useful tools (which has the warning):<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.gronmayer.com\/it\/<\/a><\/p>\n By mistake at a later time, I eventually did install a duplicate repository. After doing so, I wasn’t able to install anything and performing an ‘apt-get update’, would yield errors that pointed towards having duplicate repositories being installed. Along with that, the application manager and apt were incredibly slow to the point where I lost patience. It was time to take a peak at the sources.list and do some Googling.<\/p>\n Firstly, if you’re use to Debian based Linux distributions, you can find the sources.list file in \/etc\/apt\/sources.list , but for Maemo, the path to the sources.list file is: \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/hildon-application-manager.list<\/p>\n I also noticed that repository.maemo.org was not responding at all what so ever. Even now, you can’t resolve the host name. After some searching I found:<\/p>\n http:\/\/talk.maemo.org\/showthread.php?t=13721<\/a><\/p>\n It seems silly, but to get respository.maemo.org to respond you have to do the following as root <\/strong>on your Nokia N810:<\/p>\n I also, noticed that a bunch of repositories were timing out when I would run ‘apt-get update’. So to do a quick test on the repository lists I wrote a very small one liner to ping each repository.<\/p>\n I then, used ‘grep’ to look through ‘repfix.log’ and searched for ‘bad’, which revealed domain names that responded in the manner of ‘ping: bad address’. This gave me a list of repositories that were no longer up.<\/p>\n I used vi as root <\/strong>to remove the repositories that were no longer up in \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/hildon-application-manager.list.<\/p>\n Lastly, I ran ‘apt-get update’ as root<\/strong> and I no longer had any issues. Along with that, I could install applications again!<\/p>\n Here’s a list of the repositories that are working for me, hopefully this might save you a head ache or two, if you’re a tweaker of the Nokia N810:<\/p>\n Also, here’s a copy of my \/etc\/hosts file:<\/p>\n Feb 13, 2010: UPDATE!:<\/p>\n Now it is unnecessary<\/strong> to edit your hosts file to mend the respository.maemo.org resolution issue.<\/p>\n Last December I acquired a Nokia N810 internet tablet.
