Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

Yeah it's amazing that one of those engineers out of good will creates Maemo Mapper and releases it free of charge for us to use. Absolute disgrace, how dare he forget a shortcut in one of the updates.

The fix was mentioned earlier, why not use it.

Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

Not sure if its related BUT: I did the update for maemo mapper and then uninstalled it, reinstalled the previous version (before I saw the fixes here) and now my application manager reports that I do not have any applications installed (but there are) and no updates are available. Not being a linux person, I have no idea how to go into the OS and fix it (yep, slave to the NIT GUI for now) and can not find a refresh/restore option for the application manager.

And any "super genius" on here that complains about free software needs to post that screen shot of the generous donation they gave to the software creators, write something of their own that will obviously come out perfect, or just unplug themselves from technology all together.

scott41 - You must use the latest Canola clean-up file to delete all traces of Canola on your unit. Then your can install the Beta 10 and then all the plug-ins.

Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

Would you happen to have a link to that handy?

Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

I just reinsalled the previous version that I have saved to my SD card.

Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

scott41 : in app manager, use the Tools menu and access the log file (journal). Lines starting with "E:" are errors. See if anything complains about duplicate repositories or failing to access one. Then empty the log, go back to Tools then to the repository manager. Disable any repo that generates errors or looks like a dupe. Then see if app manager is back to normal.

I had this yesterday, dunno if it's due to maemo mapper or Canola as I updated both at the same time, but the above did the trick.

Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

Turns out going to a repo site and reloading the repos fixed the problem. woohoo! I did not get a chance to try looking for the duplicate repos or to try the canola cleaner thing (still not sure where that file is)

Thanks for the help. I assume someone will post when the Maemo Mapper update is fixed, correct? Its one of my favorite programs on the NIT.

And btw, Canola cleanup doesn't work on Diablo

Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

I had exactly the same problem... and your trick disabling and enabling repositories fixed the problem. I was close to reflashing the tablet...

Re: maemo mapper upgrade problem
 

Davidsco27,

if that is your "constructive" way to help development, i suggest you simply stop using maemo mapper. No one forces you to use this software, you did not have to pay for it so just leave it.

Besides, i have also the problem that mapper is not installing correctly from the diablo repo. I checked and saw that someone postet the error-message. All that is left to do is wait for a bit longer and then install the next version and see if it works (i am without maemo mapper since i left chinook and i really like this app so waiting is not that easy but there are other apps to play with).

Software-development takes lot of time and testing also. You don't now if the developper has every maemo version at his disposal to test. For the diablo repo, it's the first appearance and it does not work. Can happen, there are more important problems in live than that so keep cool :cool: or keep away ;)


Thank's MiBi


Oh yes one more thing: If you want to answer / argue like your last post, i hope you are a software developper so that you know what you are talking about and what it takes to make a program. I will not argue with an architect how to build a skyscraper if i don't have the necessary knowledge. Think about it like that: try to write a book with something like 300 pages. Now try to make no spelling error without the help of other people / electronic spelling correction (or however it is called in english).

Sorry to the thread-starter / participating people for being a bit of topic but i had to say it.

Now back to topic please.
