I have downloaded Rootsh a long time ago.
Can't connect to internet either, so can't download it again.
PLEASE HELP

This morning when I tried 'sudo gainroot' it asked me for a password ... does anyone else have this problem? Then when I tried it again ... it started giving me the above message.

Try to reinstall rootsh, somehow its functionality is broken by some other stuff you installed. Because root access is broken you have to use HAM application manager to uninstall rootsh and then install it again.
Note: It might be necessary to make a list of some packages that will also get removed along rootsh.

thanx for replying michaaa62
I'm not very good with terminal, so you'll have to explain:
What is HAM app, and can I reinstall without internet access?

I went into Application Manager and could not find rootsh there ... does that mean it's not installed?

Hildon Application Manager is the package manager that comes with Maemo.
Check from the X-terminal if it is installed, no need for root rights here with
Be patient, this command takes some time!
You need some way to download rootsh, may that be some computer or your n900, may be from the download page here http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p..._1.5_armel.deb
Transfer it to your N900 and click the package in your file manager to install it again via HAM.

Check that you have the right repositories setup

Inconsistent extfs archive
sh: /opt/mc/libexec/mc/extfs.d/deb: not found
How else should I try to run it?
PS it wasn't installed anymore

Yes indeed, mc is the geeky way to get things done, but it is not very well integrated into Maemo.
Please move the .deb file to /home/user/MyDocs/.documents to find it in Hildon File Manager (HFM). Clicking here should now start HAM
