Hey guys,
I've posted in the gpodder thread but no one has answered for a while, so i decides to make a separate thread.
In any case Im running the latest firmware on my n810 and there is what i get when i attempt to run gpodder in terminal with the command; gpodder --maemo --verbose

this is what i get

Code:

~ $ gpodder --maemo --verbose

I don't know how to make sense of the verbose output, but you might try what worked for me when gPodder wouldn't boot. (Here was my verbose output, fwiw.)

More generally, on the topic of /etc/osso_software_version I posted a bit more info.

Hmmm... not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try. Open terminal, gainroot, and run:

Code:

chown -R user:users /home/user/.config/gpodder

If that doesn't work, make sure both your memory cards are in. It seems that gpodder is trying to copy a couple files from /media/mmc2/gpodder to /home/user/.config/gpodder, but this isn't working. However, the error isn't very specific on WHAT isn't working about this... Just see if you have a /media/mmc2/gpodder directory
