Hmm guys, but this question here actually make sense to me. I'd like to update any software, but for example: After I get PR 1.2 and successfully installed MyPaint, 4 days later there is an update available. This time keep telling me "unable to update". Same PR, I didn't actually mes up anything uninstalled or installed anything new. But this update reminder keep popping up every day. Same situation with 2 plug-ins for conversation. I was trying to disable repos in many different variations, nothing helped really. I've received 3 more today and those was successfully updated.
4 months ago when I bought my N900 everything was clear with App manager. Any of installation or update never failed. Now seems to me like somebody needs to really take care about all this mess and package inconsistency over there.

You will need to install rootsh through application manager.
Then you will need some basic editor to edit the file, may that be in the terminal-editors like nano, vi etc. or leafpad (install it and start it from a terminal as root).

You'll need some way of accessing the rootfs (the file system on which system files are stored).
The two simplest things:
- Install rootsh and Midnight Commander (mc) on the N900
- EASIER: Install OpenSSH on the N900 and use WinSCP
As the article says, go to /var/lib/gconf/apps/hildon/update-notifier
There is a single XML file there which you need to edit.
Mine is as follows:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="blink-after" mtime="1274823819" type="int" value="10000000"/> <entry name="check_interval" mtime="1274791864" type="int" value="10000000"/> </gconf>

Surely you should used gconftool to do this, not edit the XML directly?
But I found the XML with the help of the wiki article and I was able to edit it.
I would be glad if you could shed some more light on the subject!

To modify the update frequency, the command to use is:
Code:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval --type=int 10000000
Oh, and you can run all this as the normal user, no need to be root.

To modify the update frequency, the command to use is:
Similarly to set the blink-after value (though I don't think that needs setting).Code:gconftool-2 --set /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval --type=int 10000000
Oh, and you can run all this as the normal user, no need to be root.
And what's the problem with editing the XML directly?
