Re: Cannot Update Package List
 

For example, I would like to help you, but.......where do I begin?

What OS you are running and, boot from flash, boot from MMC? What was the error message? Is that any other problem other than cannot update?.....
:confused:

I'm running the newest firmware on my N800 and I always get that message too, something like "Can not refresh database, last known database used" when trying to check for updates using the Application Catalog even though it appears to download updates. Whenever I am expecting an update (for example, the frequent Kagu updates), it shows up even though I still get that error message.

Check the Application Manager logfile. It should give some information that will probably tell you what repository it cannot download, then just remove that repository. If the logfile says something else let us know what that something is.

At least on the 770, I'd check 2 things.
1: Manually connect to the internet first. My app manager doesn't auto connect.
2: Try disabling the repositories one at a time. (Not remove, but disable!!)

Other than that, what is the exact error message?

My point is....there is an overwhelming of people willing to help, if OP able to formula a situation that allows diagnosis and resolution, I know, it sounds like a catch 22.

This forum is a really really warm community. Thanks everybody,

I have exactly the same problem, been trying to fix it for ages. Never knew there was an application manager logfile. Anyone know where it is? It doesn't seem to be in the obvious place (i.e. /var/log)

Re: Cannot Update Package List
 

Run the Application manager then tap on the Menu, the triangle in the upper left corner, go to "Tools" then "Log...." and a window should come up with information. You can also save this to a file. Ther are quite a few other options also within the Application Manager Menu.

Thanks for the tips.

I disabled all of my repositories one at a time and nothing worked.

So, I then disabled them all and slowly, one by one, enabled them.

The ones that didn't work, were the following:

All of the rest work just fine...

Thanks for the info. This certainly is going to help someone when in a desparate situation. If you browse my name, you will see my post SCREAMING for help a couple months back. It is a scary situation.
