Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

thanks for the help..

I placed the deb file on the root directory of the N900

I entered the code you gave me, and I got the error:

'dpkg: error processing live-f1_0.2.10-1maemo1_armel.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: no such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
live-f1_0.2.10-1maemo1_armel.deb'

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

Seem like you are not at the right place when trying to 'dpkg -i live-f1_0.2.10-1maemo1_armel.deb' command.

So, as root, type that, wait until it finish, and come back here to report any error :

@batman
You are not using correct path to file or file name is wrong. Open the file using built in file browser. It will automatically start App Man.
Or use TAB(Ctrl+i) in terminal to pinpoint the .deb file.

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

ok so the 'live-f1_0.2.10-1maemo1_armel.deb' file is on the root directory of the N900

I then go into xterminal and type:

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

When I downloaded the file I initially tried to open it using the file browser.. it was uninstallable.

the message given:

'Unable to update 'live-f1'.

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

Once again; thank you very much for the help..

what is libneon27?

when I input the command you gave me this is what it returns..

You need to add the 'Extra-Devel' repository ...

To activate :

Start Application manager –> Application catalogs –> New
Catalog name: Maemo Extras-devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

Leave the Application manager update the new repository, then come back to console and as root :

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

done.. :)

but I can't see live-f1 in the application list..

and when I click on the deb file using the nokia file manager it still gives the message:

'Unable to update 'live-f1'.
Incompatible application package'

I also looked for the live-f1 app in the extras-devil repository after running the above command you gave me and I couldn't see anything there either..

I switched the extras-devil repository off now (unless I need to switch it back on?)

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

live-f1 is a console application, then just launch the console, and as simple user type :
