Hi, I have recently had a software error on my Nokia N900, the problem was resolved with a complete reinstall, but I am now having problems with the Maemo extras repository. Basically there are very few apps that I can download, for example rootsh and ssh. I have tried going to the downloads page on maemo.org and downloading from there, but when I try to install rootsh I get Unable to download 'rootsh'. Application package not found error message.

The catalogue details on my N900 are as follows :

catalogue name : maemo.org
web address : http://repository.maemo.org/extras/
distribution : freementle-1.components free non-free
disabled : unchecked

In a box underneath the catalogue details, I also get the following error message in red :

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...armel/Packages 504 Gateway Time-out

Is this due to the repositories temporarily not working?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

YES

Use the mirrors: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88707

Thank you very much for your response, but i am still having difficulties.

I have added the following application catalogues to my N900 following the tutorial:

community repo mirror 1

I get the following error :


and

extras repo mirror 1

I get the following error :

thanks for your time!

use mirror 3 i.e. Skeiron.org

By the way is there any date that repositories will be back online?

That's because you have a typo in your mirrors links. The distribution name for Maemo 5 is "fremantle", not "freementle" ;-)

Otherwise both mirrors seems to be working fine.

Hey Jamar, thanks for getting back to me, I apologise for typo, have got fremantle not freementle, still nothing. Will try mirror 3.

Hi,

just to let you know that the repository problem I had has been resolved by using the mirror skerion.org repositories. Thank you very much for your help, saco721
