Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

What's the output from running "df -h /" in X Terminal?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I had the same problem (after enabling the extras-devel). everytime I check for updates or downloads from application manager it display: (no updates available)
and (no applications avaiable).

then I tried to use "apt-get update" from xterm:
I created the above missing file (empty) and run the command again:
I created the missing directory and run the command again.

this time the update worked but I run in another problem:
"Failed to truncate file - ftruncate ( 28 No space left on device)"

I disabled the extras-testing and extras-devel but still need more free space on rootfs to install important updates.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Again, what is dh -h / result?

Do you actually have the space for the cache? There's at least 15 MB of cache.

Did you install/run apps or scripts meant to free up root? Some move apt folders on /opt, but updating the device breaks those links, possibly leading to an unwritable state.

Post the output from the df command. Also check security on the folders and files you created.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I have the same problem. and it looks like everyone else here is getting it too. i was thinking that maybe when i OC'd the n900 it did this but i dont think everyone posting here has theirs OC'd.


i say this because when i restart the device and check app manager it suddenly works again even when i OC but only for a few hours or so. but who knows really. maybe like someone mentioned here, it might be the PR1.2 coming.

so weird its doing that but so lame. the funny part is it says all of that but it still shows most of the applications in the downloads even with the repositories not being 'updated'.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Mine work fine, updated fMMS today.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

interestingly enough qik and bounce (never downloaded them) are nowhere to be found in the app-manager..any explainations?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

they are in ovi store.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I can't download FBreader or Documents to Go (this one from Ovi stores)...the message informs there are some packages missing!!!
Can anyone help please?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Check that ovi repository is OK. Make sure you don't have odd repositories enabled that publish older versions for the dependencies. Also, they might have not been updated to 1.2 correctly. Anyone else installed those?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Ovi repository is like this
Name - Ovi
Address - https//downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/
Distribution - ./
and it doesn't allow me to change anything. So the repository is ready for PR1.2...

As for FBReader there's a message stating;
Can't install FBReader application packages missing - libfribidi0(>=0.10.4-5)

For other applications like fMMS is updating normally

Failing to update are the following catalogs
- Nokia applications
- Software updates
- Ovi

thanks for any help

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

What packages is it missing?

FBReader seems old (pre-1.1) and may depend on packages not in 1.2.

Documents to go shopuld have been updated with 1.2 and you should have an installer in the menu or something similar, if memory serves.

Anyway, check the details for the installation and see what packages are missing, and post back.

OT: I just logged on to OVi via PC. Do they SELL ME old cartoons to get via the air? Is Nokia so desperate for content that they SELL 1967 cartoon? D these people know Youtube works on the device? I'm not even going to mention torrent clients. Cash for a hand drawing representing a little girl?

I can't See new update in Ovi Store
 

Hello Maemo. I did get a new PR frimeware 1.2. and I've done with Flasher. all is well. I store information that Ovi has released a new game UPDATE new apps. Store Ovi neither the sen any milestone Nokia N900. Can someone tell me about this Thank you Ovi Store

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I have upgraded to PR1.2 using Nokia Software Updater (latest version 2.5.2).

I have noticed that OVI icon folder appears in my menu and inside it I have a couple of icons and the main OVI store icon, but when I tap on it, it loads up a website http://maemo.nokia.com/ovi-store-promo/ which says
The device updates often with new updates to various bits of software I have on the N900 at present, and I have never seen the Maemo 5 icon in there. It is present in the Un-install section and lists the correct version.

... as mentioned I upgraded via NSU. Not sure if that has anything to do with it!

http://www.lookatbowen.com/wp-conten...the-update.jpg
It completed successfully and I definitely have the latest version.

http://www.lookatbowen.com/wp-conten...d-via-NSU-.jpg

Any ideas why it's not working for me - please let me know. I will most likely flash the device on the weekend if I can't get it to work. It is definitely weird...

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I'm thinking - *Ouch* - erm, something makes me think - are you using the Browser user agent hider? - that quite often screws ovi up!

personally i would screw thos elinks and just set up a bookmark to https://store.ovi.com/ - woks fine for me :)

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

This is a strange one indeed. I noticed my PR1.2 version that was done via NSU was version 10.2010.19-1.002 (US Version). I am in the UK.

So I flashed my N900 with the UK Edition and now have 10.2010.19-1.203.1

I have not restored any backups yet so the phone is clean and have no User Agents loaded. On one of the desktops is the OVI bookmark and when I tap on it, it goes to
http://link.ovi.mobi/n900ovistore and in a split second it changes to:
http://maemo.nokia.com/ovi-store-promo/ which is the exact Promo website I saw with my original PR1.2 firmware. :mad:

The shortcut in the menu goes to the same place.

On the N900 if I goto http://store.ovi.com I then see the following message:

[green ovi banner at the top of the page]
I have cleared Browsing History, Cache, Cookies, Saved Passwords, and authenticated sessions, and it is showing me the same page.

I typed out https://store.ovi.com and it loaded the same screen above with the Lime Green header.

Not sure what else I can do!

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I had Ovi Store access prior to upgrading to PR1.2

I am going to install Mozilla or Opera and see if I can login to the https://store.ovi.com - Something definitely strange with the browser. I clear the cache and re-open browser and see history, so it's not clearing it down.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Hey NoobMonkey - Thanks! - You are a star! :)

I reflashed for the 2nd time and still the problem existed. I then only installed the "Hide User Agent" application, then went into settings, tapped into it, and discovered it was running a "Customized User Agent"... So I removed it, and my OVI Store is working like a charm.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Of course, I got no software on my device now, and need to restore it all again, but at least I know it's working.:D

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Hehe - and thanks again for your good blog post :) (And mention)

There's lots of gem's of information on here - trying to collate a load - but things like that are randoms :P

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Hi im new to this and ive been having application an app manager problems since i got my N900. For starters the phone is great, except for the App manager and updater, when i try to download an app from the app manager it comes up with nothing and in the space where the App topics are all it says is (no applications available) WTF?, secondly when i try to use the updater, the bar down the bottom which says checking for updates starts to load then randomly stops and stays like that until i cancel it, im getting really frustrated is there anyone here that may be able to help me?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Hi im kinda new to all this but need some help with my N900. since i bought it ive been having MAJOR troubles with the app manager. when i go into the download section of app manager it comes up in brackets (no applications available), ive tryed changing the catalouges but it doesnt seem to work. next when i go into update, it starts to check but randomly stops and stays on the checking for updates loader until you say stop and nothing happens. Lastly when i try to go to the ovi store it tells me i need to update my phone and install Maemo 5, which i have done, i have the latest updates and when i go into uninstall apps it says i have maemo 5 installed anyway. any solutions?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

i cant install canola2, and cant seem to find a solution that works
libeina0 conflict issues
and i cant remove libeina0 cos xterm says its not installed!

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Do you have enna installed? If so, the libeina-svn-05 installed with that will conflict with the libeina0 required for canola.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I reflashed my N900 and now I can't install some apps which I have on the mobile before.. somebody know what I can do for install it again ??

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

What error(s) do you get?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

hi guys! First of all you a guys are so helpful, i fixed some of the problems by reading your solutions. Now i have a same problem as MattN. I cant seem to get any apps or update them. All the catalogues are "failed to refresh". This happened after i got the pr1.2 update by NSU. Help from you guys would be appericiated. Thanks

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

There's more in there than "failed to refresh". What's the error message? It's there for a reason.

Until we have an answer, try to use MicroB and access the link in the repo, see if it responds. Verify that you have fremantle-1.2 in dist (grep the wiki for modifications to repos, and the forum for the list of changes to repositories).

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

mine says 'app already installed when try to install extra decoder 0.4

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

i did, but removed it ages ago, the conflict is still there though:mad:

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I wanna an application for answering machine
are there anyone can help me?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I can't seem to update any app, they all seem to give me the error that they are conflicting with something else. Problem is they never tell me what app it is conflicting with hence I get told there are updates and I can never update. Strage it does not tell you with WHAT it is conflicting with so we can kill it etc.

Read through lots of forums no answers yet.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

i m not able to install certain apps.. like pyqt4 full.. it fails in between.... some apps say missing packages,lib..when i try with x terminal.. its says fails to fetch.. mine 1.2 already.. need python so i can run apps...

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

I just had this problem.. As was mentioned, the enna stuff conflicts.
you need to disable the enna repository geexbox, and then try to do the install. The error message is actually complaining about the dependencies wanting both libeina0 AND libeina-svn-05 installed. The geexbox supplied version of software (some packages are required by canola) depend on libeina-svn-05, and the regular repository stuff depends on libeina0.

Hope this helps.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
 

Help! I possibly messed up app manager.

I was looking for battery tips. Long story short, I accidently input: lshal in the command line and pressed enter. The output from this accidental command said: Dumped 96 devices from Global Device List.
