Re: cannot update my nokia n900
 
Do you use HAM (Hildon Application Manager)?
Did you then check 'Details'?
Did you check your repo list for disabled or mis-spelled repository entries?
Did you recently changed or added some repositories?

To have a complete error, please post the output of [sudo gainroot
apt-get update[/code]You have to have rootsh installed for that.

Re: cannot update my nokia n900
 
Before removing your source list, just use the

Code:

sudo apt-get update
The rm -f command is used to ReMove a file (forced, because the -f parameter is being used).

But like I said, use the apt-get code first and paste the output here.

Hey bro if you want to update ur N900 i suggest you should change your connection & use Wifi if available or Vodafone Mobile Connect.

Your normal Vodafone GPRS won't work cause that is only for WAP sites.

Which city in India are you located? I know this cause I am also from India in Mumbai.

Sorry to be late in answering.
rootsh enables root access via sudo gainroot to give you the rights of ... root.
apt-get update is the command from the X-Terminal to refresh the package list for your enabled repositories.
Any error during the update command could indicate the problems you are facing, please make sure you have internet access for it to be successful.

No you can call up Vodafone Customer Care & activate Vodafone mobile connect.I do not pay a monhly rental for it just the charges for surfing which is 10p/10kb. Over here there are also special vouchers for unlimited internet on vodafone mobile connect. I use Rs.99 voucher which gives me 2gb data for a month.

So call vodafone & ask them about their offers.

Re: cannot update my nokia n900
 
ok just now i typed (sudo apt-get update) after i see the word (password) appear on the second line and that time no key is working on my keyboard but i tried to press some together with control after that something is happening i dont know. plz tell what is the default password and hpw to type, i am not familier with x terminal. plz plz help

michaaa62 2011-01-07 21:03

Re: cannot update my nokia n900
 
There is no default password on the device, because there is no root access possible until you either install one of rootsh, sudser, openssh-server, maybe some other as well.
You have to have extras repository enabled to install them. If you never heard of any of them, you surely will not have them installed.
There will be no indication to what or if you type while giving the password in linux command line interface.

Re: cannot update my nokia n900

johnstone 2011-01-08 11:59

Re: cannot update my nokia n900

need help

michaaa62 2011-01-08 12:31

Re: cannot update my nokia n900
 
There is the Settings application, scroll down to Product Information, look for the Version number to find your PR.
Anyway, as you are not able to update via the N900, i would suggest to contact Nokia Customer Care. Did you buy it in a local store or some online service, they should tell you about possible restrictions to download data? Do you have a PC for trying to update over the Nokia-Software, but i never used that application at all.
Depending on your computer knowledge you might consider reflashing http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware the whole thing.

Re: cannot update my nokia n900
