[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Why my app does not work

[From: Karoliina.T.Salminen at nokia.com]

Hello,

You should follow the gainroot instructions found from the maemo wiki.

Shortly:
1. Put device to R&D mode with Linux-flasher
1. install xterm
2. sudo gainroot

Please read the instructions in the wiki and follow each step. Should
work.

I have some related instructions in my blog too, but thanks to our nice
(*NOT*) ISP
our home network has been already down for a week now because they have
screwed
up with their configuration...
