Got my lovely new N800 yesterday. Play.com - half the RRP! Not too shabby.

Fiirst thing I did was flash it to OS2008... then got the same problem as everyone else, 'corrupt' downloads. I thought I'd broke it for a while...

Put in this repository, and the problem went away! Canola and UKMP have installed with no problems.

That said, it didn't replicate the non-working Flash problem... YouTube was just fine, so that sounds a little more sinister...

After my "reinstall" I did everything again and all is fine, so no idea why flash broke.

So I had the following Repo enabled...

Catalog Name: Maemo Extras
Address: http://repostory.maemo.org/extras
Distribution: chinook
Components: free non-free

(Please notice that typo in repository above... I just discovered that repository and repostory work for some reason.. either way, it should probably be set to the correct spelling but I'm putting what I had in my config at the time.)

After that, I went in and installed Python-runtime all by itself, and then after went in and installed UKMP and it worked fine. I have not tested the program yet but all looks good.
hi all,
i tried this meathod, but i still can't get python runtime installed. most of the way through the install i get a message 'unable to install python...'
could this have to do with the fact that my n800 ran out of battery and died part way through the python install when i was trying the install after changing the spelling of 'repository'?
any ideas? thanks.

in application manager go to 'tools' -> 'application catalog'
edit the repositories that have 'maemo' in the name and change repository to repostory in the url.

"Installation file corrupted" - Just so you know, this is caused by a repository problem that you can fix.

I'm not sure what caused it, but my flash stopped working at some point. I havent used it in a bit, so i'm not sure what did it. I've re-flashed and restored from backup and am checking as app reinstall to see what caused the problem.
i can confirm that this method has killed my flash
