Next time that happens, please include the log in your posts :)

Also you could try if removing /opt/fapman-cache helps (make sure fapman is not running when you do that):

Code:

sudo gainroot

cd /opt

rm -fr fapman-cache

Oh, and by the way... Just to be sure, check your repository settings. At least with the default nokia repos and maemo.org repos everything should be written in lowercase. The text edit widget automatically uppercases the first letters in the current version and that can lead to problems...

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

With version 0.6.2 FAM is nearly perfect and so much better than HAM, thank you so much!

I only have a small feature request:
Could FAM start fetching the changelog already when the user clicks on an application to view the details? It would reduce the waiting time to load and display the changelog instead of doing all this only after the user has clicked on "Changes".
And maybe you can add an option to enable prefetching the changelog for all upgradeable packages (on the upgrade page)!?

Yes, that would be easy to implement. I already considered that but then thought that maybe everyone doesn't want the changes to be fetched every time the package dialog is opened. Could make it an option though.

The fetching code is currently part of the package dialog and the changelogs aren't stored anywhere outside of that... So it would require more changes. The answer is maybe :)

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

First of all thanks for this wonderful piece of software.

There are only two things I don't like very much in the GUI. First of all the wallpaper as a background, as mentioned before by some other users, but I also find that the automatic rotation is a bit messy, it even changes to portrait mode without moving the phone at all and then I have to shake it a few times to return to landscape.

My sensors appear to work right as I have tested them with HealthCheck.

Regards.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Hi. Installed Offscreen Candle a while back. Now it doesn't show up in fapman for uninstall. HAM shows it. Clues?

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Just reflashed the N900, and used fapman to install 150 packages in under 10 mins.

Thank you!

Thanks, I've found a bug :)

The directory parameters aren't given correctly to apt-get if the option "autoremove" is not enabled in fapman settings. You can enable that as a workaround, I'll fix the bug for the next version.

The autorotation is what Qt gives you... You can disable it in the options.

It's an user/hidden category application and thus hidden on purpose. Nokia has removed the ability to handle user/hidden apps from apt-get.
Edit: It seems that they can be removed, but not installed/upgraded. I'll make them visible in the list of installed apps in some future version.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

In fact the directory bug was bad enough to necessitate an immediate bugfix release:

Version 0.6.3

* fixed: directory parameters are not always correctly given to apt-get
* don't auto-capitalize in text inputs

If you're not able to do the update with fapman itself, enable autoremove option from the settings as a workaround. You can disable the option again if you wish after updating to 0.6.3.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)

Weird i can´t upgrade to newest version.

ohmmm..no it´s not the newest version (0.6.2). It still shows fapman as upgradable but i´m not able to upgrade. This is weird.
