Re: oh my god, hpw to install apps in n900 form pc, any solutions
 

why do you want to do that? why can't you use application manager directly?

Re: oh my god, hpw to install apps in n900 form pc, any solutions
 

I don't think it's possible given the current implementation of whatever software you are using on your PC (whatever it is that Nokia provides)

Re: oh my god, hpw to install apps in n900 form pc, any solutions
 

app manager is your bestfriend buddy

Re: oh my god, hpw to install apps in n900 form pc, any solutions
 

Assuming the reason you want to install from the PC is because you don't have a wireless (wifi or cell) data connection available, you should be able to establish a USB network link and install software on the tablet using the PC's internet connection.

Re: [Maemo 5] How to install apps from PC via USB?
 

yes,...I do it also that way....

-connect usb
pcsuite-mode
-on n900:
sudo gainroot
ifup usb0
check the internet connection for 'dummy network'
check the DNS in resolv.conf
-on PC:
set/use USB-IP in same range (ifconfig)
open ports by adding iptables-forwarding for usb-ip's

...now you have an internetconnection and you can ping ex. www.nokia.com

I am porting the GUI by a VNC-server on my N900 and my VNC-client on my ubuntu can login by usb

changing addressbook or installing apps on my PC for my N900 is now possible

Mr. schasch.
Here comes a hell 'o nooby question...

Do I have to install any app before the mentioned process?
I mean... I tried the ifup usb0

and "-sh: ifup: no found"

I would preciate some help, though I mean not to offend you (For I feel the nooby nature of this, for the asnwer might border on obviousness)

Ty on advance

You have to become root first, look for that on the wiki. Ifup and ifdown are only available to the superuser (root).

Also, check this: http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking for the networking. 'sudo gainroot' looks like the commando to get root the first time.

Where I can get Maemo packages for offline(No Internet) usage?

Re: [Maemo 5] How to install apps from PC via USB?
 

come one w8 a minute . i ve seen ppl whop downloaded easy debian from there computer , and then copied it to MyDocs and installed it from there. Am i mistaken or what?

Re: [Maemo 5] How to install apps from PC via USB?
 

Ofcourse you can. But what if package has dependencies, then it becomes not handy.

Re: [Maemo 5] How to install apps from PC via USB?
 

i ve read that the apt-get handles all the packet dependencies :rolleyes:

Re: [Maemo 5] How to install apps from PC via USB?
 

Ofcourse it can, but what if you are offline? Also read about dpkg

Re: [Maemo 5] How to install apps from PC via USB?
 

so the apt-get is only for online purposes??? dpkg also handles dependancies but according to wiki not that much sophisticated .

I have also a question. i have 1.29 gigabytes for installable applications. so that means that i cant install easy deb wich requires at least 2??
