Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

I successfully downloaded Kagu directly from the garage.
...Now that I think of it, red pill mode is necessary to get python5 running-
thanks to tahitibob...

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

My experience agrees that the repositories are borked. I sucessfully installed python-elf-core-demo on my n800 today with the list updated on Sept 1. I tested it, then uninstalled it and refreshed the application list. As I attemped to install it again, I was greeted with "unable to install, missing: libecore-evas, libecore0, libecore0-evas, ..."

It seems the package lists were modified early today.

I had the problem everyone else is reporting when I installed python on my 770 yesterday. (2007HE)

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

That got it!

Thanks to the community here, I have now successfully installed Python and Kagu. Thank you again to all those that offered help and advice. I hope I can return the favour one day.

Martin.

"I've never installed python 2.4"


Ok, good information. My theory goes down the tubes...:)

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Tahitibob, you are the mage! Excellent post, just like your app, which I'm off to (re) install next! Many thanks for your contributions!

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Tahitibob: Let me join the chorus of appreciation. I've finally gotten Python 2.5 and Kagu reinstalled after virtually a day of reflashing and reinstalling applications, not once, but a number of times, trying to solve this problem. Shame on Nokia!

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Thanks Tahitibob. Couls install Python 2.5 as well as Kagu and UKMP. Should we revert to Blue pill mode after installing? Does the red pill mode have any negative impact?

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Not that fast, you do not have to install Python 2.4, it sometimes come with other apps that go with python2.4. I am not saying one way or the other,
"I've never installed python 2.4" is not good enough, - " I've never installed python2.4 dependent app" is a stronger statement.:rolleyes:

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Thanks much Tahiti, finally able to install all my favorite apps now.

Vdas22, after I installed Python I then switched back to blue pill mode to install all my apps., with no problems.

I'm still boggled though on how Nokia missed this issue.

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

David - Thanks for your simplistic way of explaining how to do this. I am a newbie & love my N800 particularly UKMP, so I was gutted when I did the upgrade and then couldn't get Python to re-install. But using your method above I have managed to get it working again. Thanks again.

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

See my post right before yours

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Ok, so let me tell it again more precisely: I never install python 2.4 neither directly nor through dependencies and I had python 2.5 installed before the upgrade ;).
I still think that the problem is not python 2.4/2.5 related but it's due to borked repositories (actually, maemo extras).

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

TTgowings, I did the same (went back to blue pill) and everything seems fine.

But cannot install OMweather.Says, there is again some missing application package.This firmware upgrade seems to be a hurriedly done one without taking care of everything.Anyone installed OMweather after the upgrade?

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Vdas22, I installed my OMWeather directly from the maemo site, not the one click instal as that one errored out with incompatibility/missing resource files.

This is where I got the debs and iconsets..

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Thanks TT. I will try tonight and see how it goes.I think I tried installing the icons first without installing the deb.That might have been the issue.

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Hi there,

I have just flashed my n800 from 2007SE_4.2007.26-8 to 2007SE_4.2007.38-2 and python2.5-runtime was one of the 1st I tried to install.

My application catalogue was restored from a backup but I was having similar problems to Mike (frethop), I resolved my issue by changing my maemo extras catalogue, in the "components section" I had to change "free non-free" to just "free", all seems ok so far.

hope that helps someone else :)

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

The "extras" catalogue must finally have been repaired (see complaints in other forum threads as well) as until very recently it wasn't allowing a refreshing of the catalogue list. I've always had mine set as "free" but had to disable it in order to get a refreshing. Thanks for letting us know it's now working. I tried it and it now works OK for me also.

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

Having the same problem, so I guess the extras catalogue is still corrupt?

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

It's a new file (date 6 oct 2007, 10:00) and maemo-browser isn't there, so maybe it is corrupted again. I just added a note to bug 2063

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

i tried to install python 2.5 and it says i am missing libgdbm3 and libreadline4 (>=4.3-1)

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

ive asked on other threads and this seems to be closest to my problem.... i "upgraded" to the latest firmware that fixes the sdhc bug and now when i try to install anything NO apps From any repository comes up... keeps saying the cannot refresh list crap. any suggestions?

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800
 

I am having the same problem. I am also missing libsdl-ttf, too.
Can anyone give me a bump as how to interpret this file name?

LIB - library
SDL - ?
TTF - time to failure?

this stuff is pretty obscure, and having the name may help locate it.
