Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

i recently flashed my n900 due to reboots after new power kernel was installed, now i can't install preenv at all?

if i do:
root
apt-get install preenv

i get package not found

or if i download the .deb and try to install it says incompatible?


any ideas? any help appreciated

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

Package not found usually means the repo is not enabled. If you downloaded the deb but it doesn´t want to install with HAM it probably has dependency issue. You can try this from the command line, though and see what happens.

Assuming you have changed directory to the location where your deb file resides.

If that doesn´t work, I´d try first as root
and than try again.

im getting:

dpkg dependency problems prevent configuragtion of preenv?

any ideas

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

As root, type

to solve conf problems.

This will tell you which dependencies you need. Install the deps with apt-get.

However, provided you have all relevant repo´s enabled, your dependencies should be solved automatically by running as root

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

yeah all repos are enabled, im getting error
that packages are missing, obselete or is only available from another source and
package preenv has no installation candidate?

its weird how a reflash would make it dissapear? :(

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

can you paste the exact error messages you´re getting with the various methods of installing?

The developer of Preenv actively monitors the following 2 threads:

Might be worth posting issues related to Preenv there...

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

Did you update your repos after enabling them?

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

i have done an apt-get update yeah :(

ive noticed thats its not just preenv that wont be found. Nitdroid-Installer is also not found. Some apps that i had installed before flashing rootfs are now missing from repositories (mupen64, unrar and unzip add on for file manager) but others are still there (ines, picodrive etc)

ive today tried flashing the EMMC with the guide from the wiki to try and start completely fresh, but ive had no joy flashing it :( im working from a mac 10.4.1 and to run maemo flasher mac needs 10.5 and above :(
ive managed to get 770flasher to reflash rootfs but doesnt seem to work with EMMC :(

dont know whats going on with it atm :(

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

Check your applied repos with integrated nokia file manager and then refresh your repos with it. What does it tell you?

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

Cheers for the help :)

i wernt too sure what you meant by that post though govprog

do you mean go into app manager and update it?

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

Go to the app manager, select it's name(top menu). When it's loaded, click on the application catalogs. If the app manager requires you to connect to the internet, then connect. Let the update process to be completed. And after that, check if you have the extras-devel (and it's enabled).Also it's good to report us if any problem happens during the task.

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

great :) extras-devel wasnt in my catalogues for some reason!

last time i flashed it i used the same method but extras-devel was fine :)

thanks for the help govprog :D

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

THANKS a lot sir.. one last question how to install preenv manually? ASAP thx ^_^

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

Download the package from here, and install it using dpkg -i path/to/file/preenv*.deb (as root)

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

NO such file or directory..

after download, i copy and paste it to my n900..

Re: Preenv: Incompatible application package?
 

hahaha, check the path in where you saved the file and replace /path/to/file with it :D. If your default directory is MyDocs, then , if you're unsure in where is the package you just downloaded, type as root.
