I still cannot get fbReader installed, even after assuring that the Application Catalog has the "maemo extras chinook" catalog properly set as explained earlier in this thread.
I can see fbReader in my "restore applications" list, but it is not selectable (the same for the two other applications still on that list - libzlibrary and osso-xterm).
When I try to install from maemo.org, it starts the install, open the app manager, says "preparing for installation, then fails with "Unable to download fbreader. Application package not found".
In the application catalog the FBReader Repository has a red X next to it and says "failed to refresh". It is set to http://www.fbreader.org/maemo/diablo...el/Packages.gz
and has the message "404 Not Found". Deleting the repository and trying to reinstall just reinstalls the repository with the same message.
Can anyone help me? So far this is the only application that I was using that I cannot install.

hmm, anyone else having a fun time trying to use the forum search dropdown alongside the onscreen keyboard? here it goes a bit like this:
1. open search menu/dialog
2. poke input area
3. onscreen keyboard comes into view while search box goes away
4. open search menu again and the keyboard goes away
5. repeat until bored...

heh, my solution was to swap to one of the mobile styles. the white one that has a search area on the front page. but it got its own issues, like say only placing reply links in my own posts (now thats useless)...
as for the fbreader issue, no clue. i was lucky enough to have a redundant extra entry with chinook specified already, thanks to a misbehaving .install. end story, i have fbreader installed and working...

I managed to break something (must have unchecked a service by accident; that services control applet really needs a Cancel / Apply layout instead of applying settings on the fly). Had to reflash. Now, to my horror, OpenSSH will not install because of that osso-software-version-rx44 dependency issue... but I need openssh to get root to fix that problem! (And even if I was allowed to run this stuff with Sudo, I would be unable to set my user's password outside of the root account because that, too, is locked down). Further, it is impossible to disable "Nokia System Software Updates" from within Application Manager.
It would seem that this is a new occurrence; I believe the same process of installing OpenSSH worked fine for me yesterday.
This is why sane operating systems are not designed like light bulbs. Suggestions, please
Edit: Installing something else first (agps-ui) seemed to fix it. That's weird!

btw, the search dropdown menu never worked for me. I am using the classic theme.

I already am, as you can tell from this reply being on page 31...
On the bright side, you just can't be over-overwhelmed, now, can you ? :-)
