Problem with Downloading Problems, Anyone??
 

Hello to all!!

Since yesterday i have tried to download programs from the catalogs (Maemo extras , Extras-devel, Extras devel-Testing , maemo.org.... also from ovi store, etc..), but unfortunately i couldn´t. Every time i try it gives a message of Unavailable applications. Anyone aware of this problem?

Re: Problem with Downloading Problems, Anyone??
 

what happens, when you try to download from xterm ?

apt-get install <application name>
OR
apt-get update

Hopefully there would be more error message, paste that message here

Re: Problem with Downloading Problems, Anyone??
 

I´ve written on X-terminal , apt-get install and it appear the following message:

E: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/Lib/dpkg/), are you root?


What i´ve to do......?

I need help...

You have to enable root access if you want to use apt-get.
Can you post the exact error message from the application manager.

But i do not understand why everything was ok and them for some unknown reason it do not appear any more programs on the application manager.

When i try to install some app directly from the Maemo.org site on the downloads, it opens automatically the application manager program , and after trying to download it appear a following error message:

unable to download 'app name'
Application package not found

Okay... so you have problems when you download... problems?
Why do you want to download problems?

Re: Problem with Downloading app, Anyone??
 

The title is not correct..... i have problems when i try to download the apps from the repositories....

Re: Problem with Downloading Problems, Anyone??
 

since yesterday i can´t install any kind of app, because they not appear on the program manager....

Re: Problem with Downloading Problems, Anyone??
 

Did you did, what nicolai said ?
paste the error message from application log.
Also mention, what new has been installed since it was last working ?

And as root, when you run "apt-get update" what does it says ?

Re: Problem with Downloading Problems, Anyone??
 

Nicolai said, i have to enable the root access, right?

How can i enable it? Because on the application manager i have configured a lot of catalogs (Maemo extras , Extras-devel, Extras devel-Testing , maemo.org.... also from ovi store, etc..) and now when i open the program and click on DOWNLOAD the only thing that appears is a information saying "operation failed and then (NO APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE)"

Since the last working that was 3 days ago, i didn´t install any app.... it stop working with no reason!!! :(

in x-terminal root, when i run "apt-get update" what does it says is the following:
"E: Could not open lock file /var/Lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory "


In the beginning i thought that the catalogs links were down..... but it seems that i´m the only one that can´t make the access to them.

I realy need you help....
