Update went well and no problems so far

In Maps application the dot is dark red when the GPS is locked. Routing is also developed. No voice navigation

Good

download was quite fast, but installation took around 15 to 20 minutes. i thought its stuck but it was progressing pixel for pixel.

now its done and to be honest, there isnt too much obvious difference to be seen. i just hope the overall performance has been improved.

also, special numbers still dont work (*100# for example, which german t-mobile prepaid-users use to check their left credit on the simcard)

The reason why you're told to update through NSU is because you don't have enough free space in your rootfs. Therefore try to uninstall some/all testing/devel applications and disable the repositories. Rebooting could also work.

Go to terminal and type in command "df -h". This shows how much rootfs free space you have.

The problem could be that you don't have the previous update. Last week I installed the first small update, and today the new big update. All via the N900 and through the 3G internet. It all worked fine.

dist-upgrade is the command of updating whole system which exactly what Application Manager update doing.

Whew...when downloading the update OTA it stopped at about 95% and said Downloading Maemo 5 failed. I freaked out, and I was ok give it on more shot, then it downloaded the remaining 5mb. Went thru installation process and installed fine! I'm guessing wifi dropped during download as Im on the far side of my office where signal isn't the strongest and my radio settings are turned down, but no problems, update went smooth. I am hoping that the WIFI bug is indeed fixed because I hate having to reboot everytime I disconnect or leave my office or home. Good job with the roll out Maemo team!

Today I try to install the new firmware for the N900 (PR1.1), but it ask me to use the Nokia Software Update.
I search for it and obviously it is only for Windows, but I haven't Windows, only Linux. How can I update it? Am I obliged to use the flasher? Or there is some other solution?

yeah but my point is when i do it using the app manager it asks me to go through NSU but on the command line, apt-get is getting me the new firmware.

so how does no space , as somebody mentioned above, be the cause I was wondering.
