3 easy questions please
 
1.) I was trying to install an app but the connection was interrupted, now I cant ninstall said application what can I do?

2.) Where can I find A list of proven items which will speedup the nokia? I have heard about increasing the swap file size.

3.) Wht kind of battery life should I be getting when in use and connected to wifi the nokia is estimating 3 hours.

Thanks! by the way I wrote this message foprom my n810 and am loving all of the apps! Keep up the good work!

1. Need more information.
2. Browse the Maemo.org wiki -- lots of useful information there.
3. After a full charge, 4-5 hrs, maybe more.

2. you can increase the swap size by going to settings > control panel > memory and set it to the max.

3. depending on how much cpu usage, usually i get about 3-5 hours with the browser and chat running (gmail uses lots of processing power :) )

After attempting to uninstall it, click the Menu button and go to Tools->Log. Copy/paste that here.

Does it allow you to reinstall e.g. does it appear in your Installable Updates section? If it does, I would try reinstalling then removing, like it says...

Well then, install "rootsh" (from Extras), and open the application X Terminal. Type:

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get -f install

Tell me what that does/says.
