Re: Can I update Nokia N900 from x-terminal
 

You have the latest version of the OS installed. As well as this, you have either
- installed some -devel or "known to be naughty" software that's interfering with the device's basic operations or,
- changed some settings (possibly without knowing).

Assuming the device isn't damaged, look up in the Wiki and around this forum for how to get App Mgr working properly (NB good connection is strongly advised).

Worst case scenario: save all your important data and follow instructions on how to fully reinstall the OS. Sometimes much quicker than finding the underlying problem - especially if you've installed off-piste software!

The version number is indicating you have installed CSSUpgrade, which is no reason to worry! Before considering a reflash you should look for actual error!

The GUI notification will not always show the true cause of errors, please try to get some output from these commandsDo you have rootsh installed? Did you try a reboot already? Did you look for the error log in Hildon Application Manager (HAM)?

If you are not sure please use the application manager not apt-get.

"sudo foo" will not work unless you have modified your superuser privileges.
