'Our protocol is not supported by the server' - new MSM event

2009-12-09T18:46:13Z

I was still using Pidgin 2.10 which was installed when I bought this
Elonex OneT. On 6 December 2009 I could connect and chat quite
happily on MSN ... on 7 December I started getting the message "Our
protocol is not supported by the server".

Yesterday, I used the upgrade option built into the OS and seem to

CNM Maplin Minibook with Linux

2009-11-30T18:58:23Z

Ho Hum! I discovered a very amusing bug, which took a while to
register because it's so stupid, (my AbiWord kept going out to
lunch). The problem is that if I cut and paste using the menu (or
keyboard short cuts) the document immediately closes itself without
saving. Apparently Ctrl and just about anything, but particularly

Netbooks for Christmas?

2009-10-28T21:29:58Z

One year later... Things are a lot calmer this year... There doesn't
seem to be a mad rush to buy Netbooks. The Elonex site is no longer
offering any of their machines directly for sale, suggesting you can
buy their 10 inch Webbook from Carphone Warehouse...

Maplin don't quite have the CnM Minibook available either - but they

ONEt/Maplin CnMBook - the CnMbook "Silver", there's a new support site
opened up at:

Other useful sites for the Elonex ONEt and similar machines...

You may have noticed that the [link]
website has recently been revamped, with various additions to the
software available, advice pages, and there's now a forum - though
there's little information on the forum as yet.

There's also a link to another Forum at: [link]

Cannot engage software recovery mode

2009-09-05T14:27:18Z

Hi Folks,

I wanted to install an alternate OS, but when I tried, I think I've
damaged the native software, and I can't get it to do the software
recovery thing.

I have downloaded the files, put them on an SD card, in the slot and
tried to boot from it.
There seems to be some uncertainty around t'internet about which

Japanese (or two-byte) fonts on Elonex Onet

2009-08-21T16:34:21Z

I was trying to display Japanese characters on the Web browser.
Referring to some web sites, I created the directory "TrueType" under
the "/lib/X11/fonts" directory. I copied a truetype font file into the
"TrueType" directory and also created the "fonts.dir" in the same
directory. I am nearly certain that the place I created is right.

Huawei e160 on the Elonex oneT 3g connectivity problems

2009-06-26T15:31:43Z

This shouldn’t be as difficult as it is.
This is my list on how to do it, do not depart from the list or
install anything which could affect the 3g or it won’t work.
1. Upgrade the firmware (different to the OS).
GO to [link]
and download the latest firmware flash (v70 at 26/06/09)

Again, not quite. But Maplin have a "DataWind UbiSurfer" for sale at:
[link] (currently out of
stock) for £149.99 which looks remarkably like the faithful old Elonex
ONEt with 1 gigabyte of Flash memory - but with a 3G Vodafone wireless
card fitted and set up.

Automating WiFi connection at startup

2009-06-11T09:47:05Z

Hi,

I am successfully using WiFi on my Onet+, but this requires me to do

wireless-lan from the command line)
2. Explicitly connect to my SMC router from the list of networks
shown.

Has anybody got the "Preferred Network" conection to work for them,
