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

same problem for me, I don't know what's happen...

but you can use this alternative for now, it works for me

Faster App Manager :

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!

finally i reflashed the system. everything works fine now
