I think you need to provide more details for us to help..

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

ha sorry about that, well i used apt-get install preenv, but it says package could not be found, also used apt-get update and apt-get clean to remove some of the stuff [i think thats what it means, im just new to this] so I went online on to youtube and saw how this guy does it. so i copyed him and did the same stuff as him but faild again. this time with a different message.
the error message.
this is the code i enterd
sudo gainroot
apt-get install preenv
I hit enter after that and then this stuff comes up no message about how much space it is going to take or anything.

reading package lists...done
Reading dependency tree
reading state information... done
E: couldent find package preenv

hope the new ino helps

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

pretty sure you have to enable either extra-testing or extra-devel before trying to install:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel

edit: per the Preenv Thread http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=35 the package is in the extra-devel repository. Enable it first then run the commands you posted above and it should work just fine.

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Ok thanks, but how do I enable the extras?

Thanks

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

... i posted the link above...

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel

section 1.4 ...

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

2 main things frozenholmes

1. make sure as mentioned above by lfcobra that extra-devel is activated.

2. and make sure you are connected online then try to install it.

also look at the preenv wiki that should help you

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Thats amazing!!, this give you the whole list on how to install the games. But do you need the original file or folder inorder to use the code or do you just need to go in exteminal

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Ok now iv done the things you have told me to do but im gettin a different error message, I enterd the code as shown above with both of the extrs enabled and i get this.

the following packages have unmet dependencies
preenv: depends: libglesl-sgx-img but it is not installable
E: broken paackages

any ideas guys

Thanks

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

So, anyone? I flashed my device, and now when I try to install
preenv, I get the same error.


the following packages have unmet dependencies
preenv: depends: libglesl-sgx-img but it is not installable
E: broken paackages

Thought these packages were movoed so SSU?

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

do this then... apt-get -f install

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Try 'apt-get install libgles1-sgx-img'.
You need to have:
in your repositories list.

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

i think libglesl-sgx-img is in another repo, use the power-search to find threads with instructions...

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

But looks like power search is powerless, only gives me this thread...

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

right I have done all the above and i get this error message.

"could not find package libgles-sgx-img"

hope the new info helps

regards frozen

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Don't blame power search, you probably searched for libglesl-sgx-img not libgles1-sgx-img.
Yes, one character makes a huge difference to google.

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

libgles1-sgx-img is in this repo
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/003 ./
he is encountering that problem because he messed up his installation on the beginning.

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Yeah, I am that stupid! haha
Now everything is fine... Sorry power search.:D

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

i take it this goes in repo and it goes under the new title of nokia apps.

Im probably wrong but.

regards frozen

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

nope still not working. i installed PR1.3 perfectly. now im getting a message about the

"libgles1 is only not avaliable but reffers to another package. this means that the package is missing or obsoleat"

any ideas guys

regards frozen

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Well erm... I dunno if this is ok to post but it ain't warez. Also nokia n900 users has all the right to use this so I guess it's ok if I distribute it here... So here it goes.. :D

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

cheers. il try it 1nc the computer is on. right so basicly i get this and the...?

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

just dpkg it first then preenv after that you should be good to go :p

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

XD right im not a noob before every 1 starts i just use short terms kind new to this and i dont want it to go wrong. by dpkg you mean that i should open it with xterm and then get preenv?

can you just walk me throught please thanks

regards frozen

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Ok i'll post here the installation steps my way. lol!
1st Download this
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....1.1_armel.deb
and
libgles1-sgx-img
2nd Copy or move it to MyDocs
3rd open xterm and type4th type 5th type 6th type after that all should be installed now :p

Yeah guide was too noobish... well I that's just in case someone comes here and is really lost on installing stuffs. :D

BTW! If ever wonder why I'm not using apt-get it's because I archived all my downloaded apps and dependencies on one particular folder on my MMC. That way I don't have to go through all the hassle of connecting to net and downloading stuff in case I need to reflash xD

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Damn!! dude thats an amazing walkthrough. hmm... im thinking of doin the same thing as you.

Thanks

Regards frozen

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

haha, I have a problem. when i type up my docs it says cd: can`t cd to mydocs.

What should I do, will i type up something else?

reguards frozen

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

please note linux is very specific with lower and upper case letters :p
upon opening xterm type cd MyDocs take note of the big letter M and D :D

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

ahh, got an error i type in
"cd MyDocs"
and then
"apt-get install libgles1-sgx-img* "
and this is what comes up

reading package lists... done

Reading state information... done
Note, selecting libglesl-sgx-img*
E: couldent find package libglesl-sgx-img*

HELP!! so close but soo far away, any ideas guys please

thanks

regards frozen

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

it's libgles1(libgles(one))-sgx-img not libglesl....

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

ok right, iv done that now im gettin this.

install libgles1-sgx-img is not availiable, but is refferd to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsolete
E: package libgles1-sgx-img has no installation candidate

damn these errors they dont stop and take a hint do they.


Any idea man.

cheers

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

0.o that's odd... I'll try to reproduce your problem tomorrow I need to sleep now :p

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

haha ok thats cool. thanks for all of your help.

Re: preenv not working on my n900
 

Ok 1 last thing, what about the libgles1 and 2 whould they work in order to solve the problem?

Thanks
