Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

On my Nokia 770 installed sopme new applications from
Application manager
Now, opening Application manager I get a communicate:
Operation failed OK
I click OK
and select Show installed applications
and get a communicate:
(no applications installed)

Uninstall is not avaliable
Check for updates
Refreshed: 14/10/07
(no updates available)

Install new application:
Refreshed: 14/10/07

(no applications available)

I am aware, there is mayby a low-memory problem

SMP monitor shows the following details:

DISK STAT
_____
DISK STATUS
ROOT(/) 90% 123M=12 M free
MMC(/media/mmc1) 6% 1936M - 1816 free
RAM (+SWAP) 44% 123M - 68M free

I see I have to uninstall some applications first.
But how to un install them manually if Application manager doesn't work ?

How can I redirect Application manager to install new applications on my 2 GB Kingston /media/mmc1/ card ?

Thanks.

Darius

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

Maybe these codes can solve the problem you meet

add a new line at the end:
"16777216" is the cache size,also can be change to "33554432" or bigger as you wish.

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

then use
# apt-get update

good luck

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

BTW:
you can set it to how much you like but keep in mind not to let it fill /var or worse /.

"apt-get clean" or "aptitude clean" now and then would clean up the/var/cache/apt/archives

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

Thanks for your kind help.
# apt-get update > aptgetupdate

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

watchout for this command if you are using 770. This will upgrade your apps to N800 and some of them wont work, for example maemo mapper 1.4.7-3 (for N800), and mplayer to N800, you use the one for 770.

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

Thanks.
Successfully run apt-get update
and maemo mapper current version is 1.4.7
running slow but still running
searching for gps in off-line mode.

Could yopu kindly let me know a nice way to avoid updating N770 application to N800 ones ?

As I see, I should
go to Application manager > Tools > Application catalogue
and remove respositories not relevant to N770.
Unfortunately some reps don't append

gregale
release all user
mistral
or the like.

Please tell me frankly if there is any way to remove a virus from my N770 crashing my Application manager
to avoid device reflashing each time any such download/ package problem appears.

Thanks.

Darius

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

My dear friend,

any change as suggested above makes no improvement.
Increasing cache size crashes N770 and makes it to run very very very slow.
Sorry, but your solution didn't work.

Darius

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

I guess thers's something wrong with your source.list file,but I cannot find the bad link in the list you posted above,

To increase the cache limit_size can solve some problem when you use "apt-get install" some packages,because it will download many packages into /var/cache.

so i have no idea about your odd problem.Maybe there's some network problem.

Re: Tool/ Application manager crashed - shows no application
 

Thanks.
Some entries from /var/lib/dpkg/status file

status file is 538 KB in size.

Mayby I should try to cut some packages from this file to make Application manager finally running ?
I don't know by what rule a new package info is appended.
is it a high risk operation to cut some entries, I am aware of, i.e.
to cut some packages I have personally installed ?

Darius
