Are the repositories down again?
 

I had to reflash os2008 on my n810 and now I can't download a thing to install. Not even Skype. Is there a way to know if servers are currently down? Or is it just me?

Thanks

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

Any tip with this problem im having? Everytime I install something, I get a downloading failure, can't install error message. This goes for any application currently out. I reflashed it numerous times. Am I just being unlucky here?

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

Is anyone not having this problem? I am really desperate at this point and can't figure out what to do.

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

I had problem with maemo.org debs not downloading right under os2007 but i doubt thats your problem since your using os2008

You downloading debs from maemo.org?

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

Yea, im downloading from maemo.org. In fact, just when I click on skype, it asks me to install. So I click ok, then it downloads the loader, installs loader, then asks me to download skype 4.5. I hit ok, it immediately fails. This happens for all apps. :(

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

Oh, then your probably not downloading deb your downloading installer. That means its probably something messed up with repository.

When it fails to install in app manager, open up tools/log menu and look for E lines (errors)

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

this is what i get from the log file when i try to install skype. seems like a read only file system?

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

maybe delete that cache directory ?

Just shutdown all apps on nokia, dock over usb and delete it.

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

That didn't work, it now gives me a failed install. I checked the log again and it's saying that Can't create directory at /media/mmc2/.apt-archive-cache/: Read-only file system. How do I change the file system to write access?

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

I read another forum just a few minutes ago and clearing the device fixed it. I don't know why fixes it but it worked. Thanks for the help

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

Seems you need to tell the device to use its own memory, not the ones on ANY of the two (if you have an N800) SD cards.

I had the exact same problem you are having, until I got into the application manager setup and told the device to use the "onboard memory", it kept un failing.

Just READ and I really mean "R E A D" the error messages: bla bla bla...then: Could not open file meaning it can't WRITE the file being downloaded into: /media/mmc2/blablabla.....

Until I realized this and changed (uncheck the box) the "Use MMC to download packages" it didn't worked.

Unfortunately this has to be done while on RED PILL mode. Look around on this board, or on MAEMO.ORG on how to get on RED PILL mode, once this is done, you go to:
Application-Manager -> Tools -> Settings and uncheck the "Use MMC to download packages." option.

Hope this helps... It really was a headache for me. And i also think is some sort of undocumented feature with a bug that has to be fixed on OS2008.

Comments from Nokia / OS 2008 developers please ?

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

I've downloaded lots of stuff and never had this problem. I have a 2gb and 4gb card.

Re: Are the repositories down again?
 

Since I installed OS2008 on my N800, I had the problem I described in my previous post.

It was hard to find.... as I said, it was "just" a matter of reading , really reading and understanding the log messages.

Once I did that, told the app manager not to use the SD card's memory (none of the two) and all went fine.

My SD cards are both 1GB and are almost empty, both of them.

Go figure what is going on, but this thread proves to me that there is some weird situation going on with the Application Manager trying to download apps and/files into SD memory.

Can anyone else confirm this situation please ?
