Lost default catalogues on my N900
 

Hi, I apologize in advance for the bad English but I am Italian.

Some months ago, I was trying to install new applications and catalogues on my N900. I don't know how, but I deleted the default catalogues (those are on the phone when you buy it), I tried to install them manually again but it doesn't run!
And I can't refresh the management applications..

How can I do?
Thanks..

I don't know, but you might want to look at someone who's got a similar problem over here:

Oh, wait. that's you.
Double posting won't get you help double fast, you know.

Why don't you tell us the setting you input when you tried to re-create the entries for the default application catalogs so we can verify that you input the correct values?

I made two post 'cause I thinked that the first post was in the wrong topic. So I re-post here.

I inputted the following parametres:

Catalog Name: Applicazioni Nokia
Web Sddress: https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/
Distribution: ./
Components:

My phone is in Italian...

I tried to insert all the four default catalogs (Nokia applications, Ovi, maemo.org, System software updates), but without success..

Thanks

hi
i have the same problem
i turn on the n900
go to app manager
i can update, install and remove apps but i have too stay in application manager
so for example
i instal a app, it loads again the list with the apps and i can install again a app. but if i leave the application manager. i;m not able too install,remove, or update again. for that, i need to turn my phone off and on.
when i have left app manager and i go back, there are no catalog's. all of them are gone. when i look at error report, he says unable to lock 2314 or 1516
so whats the fix?

sorry for my englisch, im dutch

I now can see you are using the app manager and that should be ok. In a terminal, try the following and paste the output here:

Saddenly I have to reset my phone because of the updates to Maemo 5 (I had more problems, I think because of the absence of the catalogs)
Now the catalogs are came back, naturally..

I haven't found another way to restore the catalogs, hope that you can find it Bramji and Dtergens, as soon as possible :)

Thank you very much bb

Install Faster Application Manager from the repos

1, Its faster - obviously!!!
2, It works so much better than the default manager
3, Multiple install & removal of programs @ the same time are possible

I cant use the default, it annoys me to much. It takes forever to load, loses my cataloges for no reason and fails at random intervals.

I have none of these problems with Fapman!

hey guys,
thanks for you response!
yesterday evening i rebooted the n900 and everything was fine, realy strange. but i had a problem with the mediaplayer. he said: no connection with server while all my music was on the device( its about 2800music files). i rebooted again and everthing is fine. now when i use application manager the first time, its really fast. but when i use it the second time, i have got to wait for 15-20 minutes. realy strange...

But I'm happy with your comments!!

Thanks!
