[Help] wireless-tools

Hi

I removed by mistake the wireless-tools package from my beloved n900 and I can't install it back anymore. I tried with apt-get but it says that it couldn't be found.
Does anyone know how can I get it back?

Thank you.

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

I don't have it installed either...

Code:

dpkg -l|grep wireless

returns nothing.

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

You could download the deb.

So, why don't you provide us with some information on what your N900 is running? CSSU, stock kernel and what not?

i found out how to get it!

1) install rootsh.

2) Then Open X Terminal

3)Enter this commands :

~$ sudo gainroot
#apt-get install wireless-tools tcpdump kismet

Hope this will help others with same problem
p.s. don't forget to have the right catalogues !

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Wireless-tools MISSING in repos!!!!! :eek::eek:

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Yep, and the situation doesn't change.
Is there any way to fix that problem, maybe someone have wireless-tools package saved somewhere and can upolad it?

I really need my n900 to work as hotspot in few days, anyone, anywhere?

And to be more specific, Im running my n900 up-to-date with cssu update.

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Here you've got the deb file: http://maemo.gilababy.com/apt-mirror...+0m5_armel.deb

Or (better) enable repositories form maemo-repos.com (and get rid of such kind of problems).

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Thank you for quick replay, I will try both ways (Installing the .deb alone and installing package through the repository, but after quick look at those you posted I think I got the same ones.)

Will report everything later, while I got more nokia-time ;)

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Either way results the same so there is no need to try them both. ;)

But as I said it would be better to add the repositories from here through clicking in N900's browser on those links:
http://maemo-repos.com/apt-mirror/repo/ovi.install
http://maemo-repos.com/apt-mirror/repo/ssu.install
http://maemo-repos.com/apt-mirror/repo/apps.install

And if you use Faster Application Manager you should add those repositories manually:

Nokia Ovi

Code:

URL: http://maemo-repos.com/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ovi/

Distribution: ./

Components: <empty>

Nokia SSU

Code:

URL: http://maemo-repos.com/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/mr0/

Distribution: ./

Components: <empty>

Nokia Apps

Code:

URL: http://maemo-repos.com/apt-mirror/mirror/downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/apps/

Distribution: ./

Components: <empty>

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

You need to use one of the mirrors for the Nokia repos, or add the SDK repo ...

wireless-tools is in both of them

(mp107 beat me to it :) )

Yes, but only by about a day ;)

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

I'm using these repos (seem to work good):

Code:

apps: http://mirrors.muarf.org/maemo/apt-m...ntle/ssu/apps/



ssu: http://mirrors.muarf.org/maemo/apt-m...antle/ssu/mr0/

should I use instead the repos posted from mp107? :confused:

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

mirrors.muarf.org were down for quite some days, so we got those Maemo-Repos.com
Thankfully! :)

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Hi, I currently have version 21.2011.38-1
When I try to install the package from here:
http://mirrors.muarf.org/maemo/apt-m...ireless-tools/

I get a message that this is an incompatible package.

Do I understand correctly that these packages are good for the version:
PR 1.3 version 20.2010.36-2

So I have to erase my memory again, upload it and download the packages?
Without CSSU?

Is there any possibility to upload this and other packages when I have CSSU?

I would suggest that try

Code:

apt-get install wireless-tools

first then see what happens (that is the common way of installing things; not manually...). Also the error message would help what could be wrong... I'm on 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo12 (CSSU) and I have the exact same wireless-tools installed that you linked.

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Thank you for the quick reply.

After your command I have:

Code:

home/user # apt-get install wireless-tools 

Reading package lists... Done 

Building dependency tree        

Reading state information... Done 

Package wireless-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package. 

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or 

is only available from another source 

E: Package wireless-tools has no installation candidate

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

That is what I assumed... Could you check your sources list... (A.K.A what are the repos that you set in application manager...?). I think you are missing some repos... You can check in terminal too:

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

I have these, but some of those may not fit your needs (i.e. community-testing and extras-devel).

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

I thought it is in the tools repo.

Code:

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/tools free non-free

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

... it should be installed already; see.

But it is also on here.

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Code:

cat hildon-application-manager.list

deb http://repository.maemo.org/community/ fremantle free non-free

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle free non-free nokia-binaries

Do you have a freshly reflashed device...?

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Yes, I installed:
RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
from:
http://web.archive.org/web/201311170...ev/nokia_N900/
Then I installed:
http://repository.maemo.org/communit...mantle.install

Code:

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Hmm... and did you click on the button/icon that cssu-enabler installed...?

I recommend reading and following this.

Edit: I see you did an update; some of the repos are not available for a long time (since nokia gone) that is why I linked my repo list because there are mirrors.

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Yes, in settings I have "About Community SSU"
When I click that I see:

Quote:

Community SSU Installed
Version: 21.2011.38-1Smaemo8
Flavor: Stable

EDIT:
How can I add your repolist?

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Hmm... strange as wireless-tools should be installed by default...
Anyways; you can refresh the repositories (check the ones I linked but maybe you should not add extras-devel and community-testing :) ) and then in terminal:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get install wireless-tools

Edit: You can copy-paste the list into hildon-application-manager.list (with the restrictions I mentioned above!!!) or by opening the application manager and manually add them one by one.

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Great, after adding yours repo list i can install wireless-tools in Xterminal.
Thank you very much for your help, because I've started not to like her ;)

Re: [Help] wireless-tools

Do not give up so easily because if you do so then your friendship (love...? :)) would not last long... ;) Owing and using n900 is not that straightforward when you have no experiences; and to have experiences you have to struggle (and suck) sometimes... :)
