Re: maemo catalog
 

Are you really on fremantle-1.2, aka PR1.2?
The package managing system checks if the downloaded list is correct, but this time it is not. Might just be a temporary failure or some false list. Just wait for some time then refresh the package list again.

Re: maemo catalog
 

ummm....i can't be sure if it's failure bcz i'm trying to install apps before a long time and the same problem is repeated every time

Re: maemo catalog
 

ya it's happening with me too, I'm on PR1.3

Re: maemo catalog
 

now my phone needs an update ....and i don't have enough knowledge to identify if it's pr-1.2 or anything else ....

Re: maemo catalog
 

Btw: Did you write the error message manually (with typos) or did you copy and paste it (meaning some errors in the repository address?
Start the settings application, scroll down to product information. You will find the version code there.
Post it here if you are nor sure about it. You will find information about updating the firmware in the wiki http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

Re: maemo catalog
 

yes i wrote it manually ....
the version is : 10.2010.19-1.003

Re: maemo catalog
 

You could flash your device with a newer version.
Make a backup of your files and also use the Backup Application to save your settings and the list of your installed applications.
Then update http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

Re: maemo catalog
 

ok, that will solve the catalog problem???
and i wanna ask if this version supports the portrait display or no.....

Re: maemo catalog
 

It should resolve those repo problems and portrait mode works in PR1.3, but not flawless with all applications. But how should i know, having it disabled right away, as i never saw anything diserable in it. :)

Re: maemo catalog
 

aha you're saying that portrait mode is not good in applications?
in the phone menu it work or no???

Re: maemo catalog
 

Just my personal affection, i am not that much of a phone geek, i like it to be a computer. Thats why i prefer landscape mode. I just noticed in a game i like to play, that it since the last update from extras-devel it is supporting portrait mode, but does hide half of the controls. That just assured my personal 'taste'. You might find lots of people who just think the opposite....

Re: maemo catalog
 

aha ok i appreciate your advice :) ....
about the error now it's : fremantle
it was fremantle-1.2

Re: maemo catalog
 

same here! i never have understood why people want portrait mode! it just takes extra time to wait for the screen to flip, i dont like the way many apps arrange things in that view, and the keyboard is landscape anyway. omg it bugs me when im lying in bed using my phone and the screen starts flipping around every which way thinking i'm rotating! i <3 disabling portrait lol

Re: maemo catalog
 

This error persists even after a complete reflash ???
Did you get anything at all from the web, like emails and browser data?
Do you use the Hildon Application Manager to refresh the package list?

Re: maemo catalog
 

even if i refreshed the catalog list the same error is showing . i can't install any maemo.org application anymore :( please i need help . 10x
