n900 app manager problems
Hi I was hoping you guys could help me because i've googled my problem and I can't seem to find any soution.
The problem is that when I go in to app manager to download apps it says that there are "no applications available" and when I click uninstall there is nothing there, I also checked the catalogues but there isn't any there. I tried restarting the phone, after restart I am able to use app manager once, but once I close it the problems mentioned above start again, and I need to restart the phone again before I can use app manager. Here is a copy of the log: hildon-application-manager 2.2.65 apt-worker: too weak to get lock from 1615. apt-worker closed connection. apt-worker exited. apt-worker is not running I am currently on firmware 10.2010.19-1 I don't remember installing any dodgy apps recently (because i've been so busy playing pokemon sapphire on the n900 XD Thanks for your time and effort |
Re: n900 app manager problems
Im no expert but it sounds like its a connection problem, i think i had the same problem when i had hardly any reception, have you tried connecting to wifi and trying?

Re: n900 app manager problems
So your catalogues are empty? No Ovi, Nokia, Extras etc.?
I had the same problem last week. Go to http://my-maemo.com/faq/showquestion...q=4&fldAuto=16 Somewhere not far from the top you'll see this: "Catalogue name: Extras Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ Distribution: fremantle Components: free non-free ...or simply click here on your Maemo device to install it automatically." Click that 'here' link and all your repositories *should* magically reappear :) they did on my N900 at least.. |
Re: n900 app manager problems
Thanks
I do have them its just that it wont display them |
Re: n900 app manager problems
Exactly my problem from last week, I had them all installed, but then the list was just empty all of a sudden, not even the standard catalogues were there..
Post is updated by the way :) hope that helps! |

Re: n900 app manager problems
Seams like the app manager don't close properly.. have you tried "pkill hildon-application-manager" and then run it again?

If you open the Xterminal and write (you need rootsh installed): 1. sudo gainroot 2. pkill hildon-application-manager You will close the app manager if it is runing in the background. You could also try apt-get: 1. sudo gainroot 2. apt-get update 3. apt-get install <program you like to install> or reinstall app manager: 4. apt-get install --reinstall hildon-application-manager |
Re: n900 app manager problems
i tried the pkill hildon-application-manager, but nothing seems to be happening

Now you could try to start the app manager also in Xterminal. 1. hildon-application-manager Maybe it will show you an error. |
Re: n900 app manager problems
the same problems that I posted in the first post are still there...
checked the log: hildon-application-manager 2.2.65 apt-worker exited apt-worker: too weak to get lock from 1615. read: Bad file descriptor |

Try in Xterminal 1. sudo gainroot 2. killall hildon-application-manager If this don't work.. could you do a screendump while using Top in Xterminal? 1. top 2. q (to close top) |
Re: n900 app manager problems
I tried killall hildon-application-manager, but it says that no process was killed, I then tried apt-get install --reinstall hildon-application-manager however it says that another process is using it
I also tried top, q then opened app manager again but nothing seems to have changed |

Maybe this would work: 1. sudo gainroot 2. killall apt-worker |
Re: n900 app manager problems

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...reenshot09.png I've not tried the killall apt-worker yet, jsut incase you come up with a better method after seeing the screenshot |
Re: n900 app manager problems
The "bad file descriptor" error could mean that you file system has become corrupted. Have you overclocked?

I have not seen this before so it might just be unlucky sircumstances but maybe you shoud try to reinstall hildon-application-manager. I would however wait with it. If it occured again you now know how to deal with it ;) |
