Hello.

I've had the N900 for a couple of months, but I am new to the maemo-talk and to the applications.


I have some questions regarding the N900.

When I first bought it, I could easily copy some programs ( file extension : .install ) to the phone and easily install it. What I installed was "conversation box".

Now the problem is, if I want to install something through the phone, using filemanager / program manager. It asks me for an internet connection. It doesnt let me install the program without passing the internet selection.

What to do? I can't even install rootsh


Thanks in advance for the help I get.


Extra note ; doesn't work even with internet connection.

Extra question ; When using Nokia Pc Suite, I can't install programs through it either. It says it can't find my phone even though I can copy files and do every other thing.

try unistall what u had installed and try again.

.install files are just links to repository location of the application. The simplest way possible to install an app is to start App Manager, enable/add desired repositories and install from the App Manager itself.

It will, of course, require an internet connection to download .debs...
