Ok, I will start over. Thanks.

I followed these directions http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howt..._from_mmc_card and now I am having trouble installing or uninstalling applications. If I boot to flash it seems to work but not when I boot to mmc. I tried sudo gainroot before opening app manager but that didn't help. Here is my app manager log.

osso-application-installer 4.46, UI version 2
apt-worker: Forcing /var/lib/dpkg/lock
-----
Uninstalling canola2 2.0.0~beta1-maemo.1
apt-worker: Not handling unrelated package idea.
(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing canola2 (--remove):
files list file for package `idea' contains empty filename
Errors were encountered while processing:
canola2
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What did I do wrong, did I miss a step?

I just got a refurbished? N770 back from Nokia due to WSOD (warrantee).

I had a working MMC install from the dead machine...I popped the card into the new one...ran the steps again, but skipped the partition-format-copy steps.

Worked perfectly!

This is a different set of instructions to the ones detailed in this thread.

Maybe you should ask about your problems in the http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howt..._from_mmc_card
thread or try the instructions in this thread instead.

I compared the two sets of instructions and the commands you enter are pretty much identical. But that's ok. I'll take my problem somewhere else.

I booted to flash removed a damaged package (idea) and repeated the process. It works great now. I received some great help from the author of the instructions I mentioned in previous posts. Your instructions work great and they are virtually identical.

This thread is just a copy-cat of this


It's incredible what people is able to do for... what??? I don't know...
