Hi,

I was using Nokia N900 for 1 year 6 months. Now i have a problem. the file manager is not working and because of that the camera and other applications also stoped working. When i connect N900 thru mass storage mode, i cant see the other folders like DCIM and others. Please help me how i could resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

-Srini.

First try to check the file system of the partition.
You need rootsh to be installed, for that code to work in X-Terminal application.
Code:
sudo gainroot
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
There should be an error if the device is unmounted, like i think it is. Then proceed
Code:
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
Please post the complete error message(s), if any, here for further inspection.

I'm not sure if I can help you or not, try to give us the output if you type this in XTerm:
Code:
/usr/bin/ossofilemanager

the proper command is umount, not unmount

EDIT: just made a quick test:
Code:
root
umount /media/mmc1/
umount /home/user/MyDocs
exit
ossofilemanager
pops up and simply reports [no files/folders]
actually this might be an easier way to exclude that the binaries are not corrupt

this is what you should do:

open a new X Terminal windows ([S _] icon)
Code:
root
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck  /dev/mmcblk0p1
please post back the exact output of each command.
