On my OC'd N900 this runs slower than the default package manager, is anyone experiencing this also?

As far as I know fapman doesn't delete logfile after closing but overwrites it when started. Therefore you should be able to open the logfile with any editor / viewer as long as you didn't start it again.
Path should be /root/.fapman/lastlog.txt
If you can't open file as user try it as root.

which is where I failed... I opened FAM again to use its logfile viewer - only to see it was empty.

It really should only clear that when it starts a new request

Whatever was updated not only ate rootfs, it is also killing my battery :/

if you just want to see which packages were lately installed / upgraded try following: go to "uninstall" selection and make sure the packages are ordered by date. you'll see latest additions on top.

perfect!

thanks a lot

So I'm having an issue from the packaging-app-in-repository side of things that has to do with FApMan, that I'm hoping someone can clue me in on.

I could've sworn I've ran into it on this forum before, but I've ran searches on this thread, on the forum, and on Google in general and I still haven't found anything that would give me an answer.

I've packaged a program (alpine) recently, and put it in the extras-devel repository. The icon shows up if you look at the program in Hildon Application Manager - it does not show up if you look at the program in Faster Application Manager.

I'm NOT talking about the icon not being visible/blue-square after you've installed the program. That's fixable by restarting hildon-desktop. I mean INSIDE the app managers' app lists, the icon shows up with the program name inside HAM, but is replaced by the default blue square inside FAM.

Any other developers or people who have read on the subject who can point me to a hint as to why this happens and how to make an application icon show up in both app managers consistently? (I suspect it has something to do with the exact options which which I saved the .png file before uuencode-ing it?)

i cant update my faster application ..... it shows that its an unknown error check log for details .... something like dat .... so wen i check the log i got dis full details....

Waiting for the reply.

Try disabling the extras-testing repository, updating the repositories, then re-enabling it & updating again.

I have Ovi enabled in Fapman and I have MAG's "fixed" apt installed. I can install Ovi apps from cli with apt-get. Fapman used to show me available updates on Ovi and let me install them.
Now since last reflash Fapman is not showing me the available updates in Ovi anymore (yes, I tried setting categories to ALL/Advanced). I am pretty sure everything is set up as before the reflash. There are no errors, it just doesn't show them. Please tell me what could be wrong.
Without fapman showing Ovi updates I would need to reenable that horrible automated update check which usually pops in action when I am on 0.25€/MB GSM 2G line....Thanks.
