Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications
 

And rootfs hasn't been reduced? (df -h)

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications
 

This script will move the apt's metadata (lists) and database (cache) from their canonical locations (/var/lib/apt and /var/cache/apt) into the /home partition

rename the file move-apt-dirs.txt -> move-apt-dirs.sh

use ssh open server and copy the file to your N900 in "/" (not in "/root" !!)

in xterminal type:

sudo gainroot
sh move-apt-dirs.sh

oops i made a mistake !!!

in xterminal type:

sudo gainroot
cd /
sh move-apt-dirs.sh

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications
 

I can't believe that _nothing_ has changed in your rootfs, something must've been used wrong.

Do you often do apt-get clean?

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications
 

no

First time I did it was when I was asked to in this thread

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications
 

i don't understand.......

Have you installed so many applications ?

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications
 

Jay92: Then it is _very_ weird that it has not been reduced after you cleaned it up.

Re: Nokia N900 Won't install applications
 

i do not have that many applications installed

I have recently just uninstalled widelands which was 100mb

I have 170mb of application installable memory left
and
I have 5gb of phone memory left



I just want to install some apps
