I got fed up su-ing and chowning and chgrping when moving files between my N800 and my Ubuntu laptop by USB. So I figured I'd change the UID and GID of user on the N800 to match my laptop (and other machines). I knew that the username was hardcoded in some key areas but surely they couldn't have done the same with the UID could they? Apparently they could. I change /etc/passwd and /etc/group (using usermod and groupmod), /sbin/mmc-mount (even though all my SD cards use ext2) and /etc/fstab. I then changed all my files and rebooted. The progress bar almost reaches the end before the D-pad light flashes, but it finishes, the light flashes more, then it reboots. I installed sysklogd and Fanoush's startup debug messages thing. The last startup script to run is S45maemo-launcher and the only clue in the syslog is ke_recv[1165]: ke-recv.c:2823: Libosso initialisation failed DSME: process '/usr/sbin/ke-recv' with pid 1165 exited with return value 1 DSME: '/usr/sbin/ke-recv' spawning too fast -> reset DSME: Here we will request for sw reset DSME: new_state == current_state, not changing init: switching to runlevel 6 /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_resets: /sbin/mce --force-syslog : 2 /usr/bin/bme_RX-34 : 2 /usr/bin/multimediad : 5 /usr/sbin/ke-recv : 6 * I'm guessing the * means 'this was the latest'. /var/lib/dsme/stats/restarts: /usr/bin/obexsrv -1 : 10 /usr/bin/hildon-desktop : 20 /usr/bin/metalayer-crawler -F : 44 /usr/bin/esd : 18 /usr/sbin/multimediad : 68 /usr/sbin/dsp_dld -p --disable-restart -c /lib/dsp/dsp_dld_avs.conf : 18 /sbin/mce --force-syslog : 23 /usr/bin/hildon-input-method : 1 /usr/sbin/ke-recv : 61 * /usr/bin/osso-media-server : 2 Has my tablet really been brought down over 250 times? By extraneous crap like metalayer-crawler and multimediad? Anyway, all I can glean from this is that libosso has barfed because I changed my UID. Has anyone successfully done this? Can anyone suggest how to fool or fix libosso?
