Application Manager won't run
 

Not sure what I did, but when I launch Application Manager, it's window appears, but that's it. No buttons, not able to use the drop down menu, close button doesn't work (though the system realizes I'm trying to close it and will eventually respond with "the application is not responding...").

I've even tried lauching it from xterm, going into /usr/bin and running osso-application-installer.launch, which returns "Segmentation fault". Is there a way to restore this file, or am I hosed and going to have to reflash? :(

This has just happened to me too. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary before it happened - one minute app manager was fine, and when I opened it again 10 minutes later, it was broken and has been since.

Did you ever find a way to fix it, short of a reflash?

I recently flash my 770 with 07HE, put all the repositories in. When trying to refresh, it wouldn't and then when I tried to pull up the catalog... no window opened. Looks like I'm flashing back to 2006. Shame, I liked how 2007he was set up. Lets hope for an updated release.

Did any of you change the hostname on your unit? (ie. editing /etc/hostname or with "hostname myhost") If so, be sure you include it in the localhost entry in /etc/hosts

When setting up my 770 after flashing with 2007HE, I did rename the device. Other than that, I just added the repos, that failed, and then the catalog window wouldn't come back up... even after rebooting. Heck, my installed list wouldn't show anything as well. Could renaming the device cause such a funky issue in 2007HE?

Re: Application Manager won't run
 

Well for some reason Application Manager (and perhaps other apps?) need to have the hostname associated as localhost in /etc/hosts. I think you you add the new hostname in there you'll find it works fine. At least it did for me on the two n800s I've setup...

Re: Application Manager won't run
 

just to be clear, I renamed the device during the set-up windows after reflashing to the hackers edition using the OSX flasher program. That being the case, why am i not experiencing this issue when i flashed the newest itos06 and did the same exact set-up that i did on itos07he? R there any other 770 owners that have experienced the same thing?

ahh... that is different then setting the unix hostname. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries!
