So I see that the py Runtime is installed.
How can I configure the repositories ?

Skatebiker:

Well, to configure repositories, you need to run:

Settings/Application manager

Then pick from the menu:

Tools/Application catalog

Then create/edit as you see fit. However, perhaps you have all necessary repositories already. Just to prove the point, I removed my own 'python2.5-gpsbt' and then re-installed it (from a terminal session, while logged in as 'root', of course):

Nokia-N800-23-14:/usr/lib/hildon-desktop# apt-get install python2.5-gpsbt

What happens if you try the same thing?

I get a list of catalogs and have no idea which one it is.
I am a lttle bit reluctant as I might disrupt other apps when I uninstall python2.5-gpsbt.
Can I backup before ?

skatebiker:

1) Just so that we are comparing apples-to-apples, provide the repository listing the same way that I did -- what I did (in a terminal) was this command:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

I notice from the Gronmayer repository searcher (http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.php) that 'python2.5-gpsbt' is in *both* the 'chinook' and 'diablo' repositories, and that (I think) that I only have the 'chinook' one enabled, even though I am running 'diablo'.

2) I am confused -- if you don't have 'python2.5-gpsbt' installed, then there should be no risk of disrupting any applications if you attempt to remove it (in fact you don't even need to try if that is true), so why not go ahead and try the 'install' that I suggested. Are you worried that might disrupt as well? Sorry, I don't know how to 'backup' in case that occurs, but it seems unlikely to me!

The result of [cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
] is :

2) but according to an earlier ps I have py2.5 runtime installed, but mephemeris refuses to install, that is the problem.

skatebiker:

You are still giving me more credit than I deserve to solving problems like you are experiencing

I was hoping to actually see the 'messages' produced by your attempt to install 'python2.5-gpsbt' from the command line.

In any case, three things that I notice about your repository listing that *might* cause trouble (hey, I am just a user like you!) are:

1) You have the 'repository.maemo.org/extras' for *both* chinook and diablo -- maybe try temporarily getting rid of the diablo one (I don't have that one)
2) You have those repositories mentioned *twice* (two for chinook, and two for diablo) -- I think this might be asking for trouble
3) You have the 'repository.maemo.org/extra-devel' for diablo, but I do not (this might be OK)

I am personally running out of ideas to help -- like I said earlier, you may want to post your question to a different thread, since this is not directly related to Mephemeris -- simply to your (legitimate) desire to install 'python2.5-gpsbt' on your tablet.

Folks:

Small changes to the release of version 1.00 of Mephemeris:

2008/11/24 = version 1.00
- add new 'ini' file option to control the resolution of the solar system orbit plot window
- add horizontal/vertical pan/tilt option to solar system plot window
- fix bug in user-controlled timeout option for 'gpsbt'

I have been sitting on these changes for a while, but once I found the small bug mentioned above, it provided sufficient incentive to include the pan/tilt option to the solar system orbit plot window.

As before, all your customizations are wiped out when you upgrade. Package and README is still on the same web page:

http://darethehair.googlepages.com/software.html

Enjoy! I am still curious to know if anyone is actually using it, or it is just a novelty...

Hello again, darethehair. I am very busy lately, but yes indeed, I still use Mephemeris quite often. I admit, mostly for fun/astronomy hobby, but I often just sit in my easy chair and use it to lookup planet rise/set/info, star information, APOD/other web images, etc. I always check for updates when I get some spare time (scarce lately).

Thanks again and see ya...

kapresley:

Thanks for your kind words! I am pleased to hear that at least one person -- other than myself -- is using Mephemeris. Because I 'ran out of version numbers', it has now reached version 1.0, so now the 'pressure is off'

I tried to install it as well, but now I got a message of missing of 'python2.5-gpsbt'.
I tried installing from the command line (as root) with no result.

How can I install this ?

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pyculator: Depends: python-hildondesktop but it is not going to be installed
