Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!

I am also seing the store now - but when I try and download Backgammon it fails and says the file is missing :(

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I just downloaded solitaire, and it's actually quite good. Bad thing for productivity though.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Hmmm... Tried Solitaire too .... says file does not exist

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Srceenshot from Solitaire pls

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

The application or just something on the website.

If the application is live, could you please provide a way to download it ?

Thanks !

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

i havent connect my phone yet because i just installed a screen protector (from clearprotector) and i'm just waiting for it to dry up first before turning it on. lol

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Here's the link from nokiausa.com

http://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-...y-and-download

Select the N900 and it should provide a download link.
I'm not sure if there's any difference between regions (besides the language) so YMMV.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Can someone give repository settings for finding solitaire app?

Highly needed :D Can't find any apps on the catalog store.ovi.mobi adds

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Thats a link for OVI Suite... Not what I am looking for :)

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Thanks for the link. I think this software isn't new, but I'm not sure.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

There you go.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Hmm. Because when I went there the other day, it only had the old nokia pc suite and the n900 wasn't listed. Today, the N900 was on the list and it shows the ovi store.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

It seems Ovi Suite isn't compatible with the N900 here in Europe, even when I download from the US website.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I downloaded the Ovi Suite and it didn't recognize my N900. It said the N900 was not compatible. In Kentucky (United States) here.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I think Ovi Suite 1.1 is compatible with the N900 but version 2.0 is not.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

yea i just tried it too and its not yet compatible with the n900. man thats stupid. you wouldve think nokia add their flagship n900 to it.

edit: its weird how it says v1.1 but when it actually install its 2.0.1.35

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I too can access the URL given in this thread and browse the store as well as log in, but downloading applications (tried a few games) did not work. At times it seems to download something and then fails.

I guess this is why the store is not yet open anyways... maybe they are still in the process of getting it fully operational and some markets are more ahead than others?

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Sorry to tote this old horn, but N900 is not Nokia's flagship, it is a tech-head Internet tablet with phone. Maemo is a work in progress and with regards to the OVI Suite too.

Expect lots more incomplete things. It should not be a surprise.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I tried it, using OVI v2.0.1.35, but no go. he error message states that the N900 ins not supported.
So nothing has changed (yet ?). Hopefully something will happen (change) soon?:rolleyes:

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Folks, let's chill out a bit ;)

Read this tweet: http://twitter.com/JGallo02/status/6535746659

And said that, you can to install applications from that repository with apt-get. I'm not going to say how because is said in many places.

There are a lot of simple games and applications from offscr. What I find more interesting is that they are done with Qt.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

here in spain we also have that comming soon....

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Got this error message when trying to install:
How he managed to install it on his is the question.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

apt-get install offscr-solitaire
host timeout

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

sorry my mistake. i know its expected that there are bugs to be iron out.

at first, i was confused as i thought the ovi store is the suite for the pc. found out the store was on the n900 (which still say coming soon on my phone).

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

ok I coud install Solitaire with apt get and it works.

as proof:

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

OK, could install Solitaire with apt-get install offscr-solitaire. Seems to work great.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Also working:

apt-get install offscr-cube

A quite nice Rubik's Cube 3D game.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Same here....worked fine.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I don't know if this changed anything, but before using apt-get I did log into the URL above and tried to download the games from OVI Store - this did start the app manager and did add the OVI repository.

I guess without this the apt-get would not have found the packages.

Earlier in this thread there are manual instructions for adding the OVI repository too.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

sorry for being a noob but, what do you mean you used app-get? where can i get it?

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

First: I don't recommend doing this if you are a noob without Linux experience.

But what it means is got to xterm (press ctrl+shift+x for example) and type for example the command: apt-get install offscr-solitaire

It fetches the package from an online repository and installs the application. Instructions for adding the required OVI repository are earlier in this thread.

Do not do this unless you understand what you are doing, so please Google and research this beforehand!

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

First you must install rootsh, to get root accses in the x terminal.
If you have rootsh go to x term an type:

root
apt-get install offscr-solitaire

or offscr-speedometer for the other appli

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

i've installed both cube and solitaire. Are these optified?
As ever, once it's official, I'll uninstall and re-install the official one, makes it easier for updates.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I think you are right about that. As I understand it the N97 is Nokia's Flagship device...

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

apt-cache search offscr

The apps are optified.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

For training you can type:

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

I'm not sure, I've installed a few of them and now trying another and it says not enough disk space.

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

Well, I'm seeing their files in /opt/offscr*... However, when you use apt-get, be sure to check your /var/cache/apt/archives for any leftovers...

Re: Ovi Store N900 LIVE!!!
 

This is what the Cube looks like:
