Again: more verbosity, please.

What is meant by 'open'? Just tapping on it?
Bad download, wrong size of deb file, lots of other possibilities...

Do you have the devel-su (terminal) ???

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Sorry.

Yes, I open the deb file by finger and there was an error info.

Secondly, I tried this command in terminal:

aegis-dpkg -i lib1.deb where lib1.deb is a just shorter name of downloaded file, but it shown must run as root :(

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Yes.
And this is what I meant by 'there is need of reading' :)

N9 is a Linux terminal beast (if you wanted it to be).
And to resurrect it in 2019 you need it as a terminal beast to install/configure. Afterwards you might use it as a 'smart phone'.

To get root on N9 you may use 'devel-su' and the default password of hmmm
I just do not recall, so best guess 'root' (but a fast search here will reveal).

But watch out: as root user you may also destroy a lot!

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

devel-su + password, then:

aegis-dpkg -i lib1.deb

then shown:

Aegis rejecting lib1.deb: Could not open debian archive
aegis aborting dpkg -- all listed package files rejected
Compilation failed in require

;(

You might like to look at this resource for some Terminal basics:
https://iotgadgets.com/2011/10/enabl...e-11-nokia-n9/

Before typing "aegis-dpkg -i lib1.deb" in Terminal did you specify where to look for it e.g. cd /home/user/MyDocs/?

Presumably by now you have found after devel-su to type default password rootme?

You did apply point (2) at start of thread Settings > Applications >
Installations and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources' ?

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

And you will love it even more :)
But be aware there may come another (or two) hurdles :D

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Hallo Peterleinchen,
I'm wondering in 2020: Does internet browsing work? With which app? Does Telegram or Whatsapp work? does youtube work?

I dont have an N9 but thinkinh about getting a cheap used one
"zum rumbasteln"

thanks

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Browsing on N9 is a PITA as a lot certificates are old and deprecated. Furthermore the default browser does not support newer TLS. So a lot of sites will not work (@halftux made some improvements 'zum rumbasteln', so it may be possible).
TBH I used N9 in OpenMode and with stock browser as long as possible but then went sailing...
So maybe Opera may work better (another ddiscussion here on TMO ongoing).

WhatsApp impossible
Telegram may work in a CLI version (@halftux)
youtube I do not know, but there was also some discussion ongoing (but it might be related to N900). I used stock browser at my time ;)
