unable to install advanced-power
 
A few weeks ago I tried to install "advanced-power," and "advanced-power-monitor" and got the response "unable to install." However, it showed up in the Installed Applications section with an exclamation mark. Then I tried to uninstall the programs and it wouldn't let me. Now the battery notifier randomly highlights and displays the battery information, and it is very annoying. Any advice?

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
Doing a bit more searching, I found this post on my topic (except that I was never able to even fully install the program): http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=24905&page=2#15

I tried following these steps, but the problem persists. Is there a way to manually delete these files? I found a advanced-power-monitor.list file in /var/lib/dpkg/info that list a bunch of files. If I delete these, is the program "uninstalled"? Is there a way to remove a program and circumventing the application manager? I also tried sudo apt-get remove, which also gave me an error:

Quote:

subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 102
Errors were encountered while processing:
advanced-power-monitor
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Finally, I have even tried to restore my tablet to an old back-up I have but the program persists.

Ii want to see if anyone has any other options before I just give up and flash the thing.

Thanks.

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
xterm
sudo gainroot
dpkg --purge "apps" (without the quote)
That should get you uninstall the apps

xterm
sudo gainroot
apt-get install adv...monitor (put in the name of the apps, i remember you have to do monitor 1st)
apt-get install adv...power

where is your back-up? :)

post results please,

bun

It gave me a similar response to when I tried apt-get remove:

I think the back-up file is saved on the internal memory card. Also, maybe this problem is because I tried to install advanced-power first and not advanced-power-monitor

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
Lately, I've been having problems with openssh, openssh-server, and openvpn. So I decided to reinstall, but the application manager wont let me, and I can't remove it even with the terminal commands. the messages I get are very similar to what I got before with the advanced power app, but obviously I've already changed the invoke-rc.d file (I double checked to make sure the file had not reverted or anything). Also, I cannot uninstall openbox, which seems somehow tied to openssh.

some specifics:

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
Is anyone else having trouble installing the latest update for the advanced power application?

I've been using the advanced power application for a while and recently updated to the latest version v0.5.0-5 that was released on 23rd October.

Now it has broken as the advanced power application icon no longer appears in the status bar. I've tried toggling from off/on in control panel>panels>status bar but still no longer appears.

Can anyone help please?

The last couple of pages of this thread deal with issues that some people are having installing the latest update.

The statusbar icon not appearing seems to be a common problem.

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
Also facing the same problem and get stuck trying qwerty's solution.

When i check my /usr/sbin, I have no invoke-rc.d showing.
Should I create it?

I've enabled hidden files and still don't see it.

Thanks Fionn, I managed to get the icon to appear again:)

For anyone interested, I first uninstalled both Advanced Power and Advanced Power Monitor then deleted the advanced-power configuration folder with:

rm -r /etc/osso-af-init/gconf-dir/apps/advanced-power/

then reinstalled Advanced Power and Advanced Power Monitor and the icon now appears.

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
I'm still having this problem as well. I've also noticed that the Application manager is asking me to update advanced power, and reports the program as broken; however, the programs are still working normally.

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
Today there were a lots of pending updates on my N810 which I applied, and the advanced power app disappeared.

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
Ok, I installed the "maemo-control" and with this I could go into the Control Panel->Services, and I disabled apmonitord and powered from starting up during boot. Then I was able to uninstall the program, but I cannot install in again...

Re: unable to install advanced-power
 
So I was able to install the advanced power monitor by following the instructions given by darbax (in conjunction with what I've written above, which I had to do again after being unable to install it the first time).

However, it doesn't show any of the old information (battery life, etc). Now it just says "Start APMD" abd "Settings." After hitting the first button, it just goes grey, and hitting the "Setting" one doesn't do anything.

Hoping someone out there knows what is going on!
