Also the python applets need a sort of python-desktop bindings. Search the forum.

This problem has been fixed. Try again.

Re: Applet vs Application
 

The extras repository, in Application Manager.

Re: Applet vs Application
 

I remain stuck :(

This is as far as I got:

- Open Application Manager
- Open "Browse installable applications"
- Open 'Extra'
- There exists "personal-menu" listed here

Could you pls ellaborate or else direct me to a tutorial link.

Wud appreciate it. ;)

Re: Applet vs Application
 

In Application Manager, go through the menu to find Application Catalog, or something like that. Make sure the extras repository is present and enabled (I think in a cleanly-flashed tablet, it is present, but not enabled...)

Re: Applet vs Application
 

@Benson: Extra repository is indeed present, as mentioned in my last post, but it only contains personal-menu, as mentioned earlier. :confused:

@qwerty12: The thread titled "HomeIP, HomeCPUSpeed, and HomeDiskFree" proposes a solution. But some pieces of the puzzle are missing:

1) The threads author, Khertan, mentions in post 41 that all "is fixed and should install straight forward without need to add an other package." By "other package" I assume he's referring to python-hildondesktop!?

But as you can see, I cannot run these still. So I am still following the thread's solution, which is as follows:

2) It is suggested to install python2.5-hildondesktop from extras-devel. But:
a) N810's App Manager contains Extra & Devel as two separate repositories and neither contain python2.5-hildondesktop
b) In 'All', however, there is "python-launcher" & "python2.5-edje-demo". Should I install one of these to get the applets to run?

Look forward to advise.

Re: Applet vs Application
 

Your last post did not mention that the extras repository was present; that's a category, and it's only by confusing accident that they have the same name.

You need to go into the menu, choose Tools, choose Application catalog..., and make sure you have a repository (probably named "maemo Extras") with the web address http://repository.maemo.org/extras, and components free and non-free. (And enabled.)

Maybe you already did that, but your last post referred to something else, and you say "as mentioned in my last post", I can't help but think you still haven't quite got it right.

Re: Applet vs Application
 

Appreciate the prompt response.

There existed no checkmark for 'Disabled' in 'maemo Extras' under Application Manager>Menu>Tools>Application catalogue...>maemo Extras

Please suggest the next step.

Re: Applet vs Application
 

Then you should have these applications listed (HomeSomething ones and OMWeather) in your "Browse installable applications -> All" list.

Re: Applet vs Application
 

The "home" ones listed under 'All' are not the ones I referred to above, namely:

- homememfree 0.0.6
- homenetstats 0.0.6
- homeip 0.0.6
- homecpuspeed 0.0.6

Instead, the following appear:

- homediskfree
- homeinternaltemp
- homelightmeter
- homewifilevel

:confused:
