So, I searched "that whole internet", and can't find good instructions on how to install the full GPE-complete_2.8.tar.bz2 file from cobb.uk.net. Maybe I was searching Al Gore's Internet, but for the life of me I can't find the complete suite in any repos, or where to apt-get install this thing, or even how to install the bz2 file sitting on my tablet. Is this why there are so many iphones sold? Because you can spen hours trying to locate the info you need?

This is for my N810, not the n$00 that seems to have overthrown this site in a vicious coup.

I have installed GPE Calendar, Contacts and Todo via the app manager. They are in the Maemo Extras repo, I think. Or you can install via the maemo.org download section (look in the Office category).

Has anyone installed the "GPE Summary v2.8+maemo+svn20081212-3" supposedly updated 2009-10-04 13:45 UTC? The install link at http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/gpesummary/ leads to a missing INSTALL file on www.cobb.uk.net, while the page itself says "Download it from: http://garage.maemo.org/projects/gpesummary/" where the most recent .deb is from Oct 2007...

I believe gpe-summary has been integrated into the GPE Calendar package. So you don't have to install it seperately.

Can somebody confirm this? When I boot Turboeasy Debian, and bust open the 10mb file from cobb, I see a whole bunch of other apps in that set (like a minibrowser, othello, etc) Maybe these are all brokenup separately in the repos now, but I don't think so. I have already installed all of the GPE apps from the repos. Some of them mention installing "the suite" first.

Either way, I have this bz2 file that I listed in my OP. Anyone can tell me the command to install that from scratchbox, or via debian schroot?

Actually, the GPE summary install summary in the "hot and fresh section" is the one that tells you to install "the suite" first.

I know this is probably something simple that I'm missing...

GPE also has Timesheet and File Manager aps for the N8x0 thats in the same repository. GPE aps are also available in Ubuntu only there are a lot more than we see for Nokia. All of these aps are also installable as individuals. The Ubuntu and N8x0 aps are DB file compatible so desktop and tablet are easy to keep in sync. Available on the N810 but not Ubuntu is the erminig package which syncs with the Google Calendar.

No, your furrowed brow is due (it seems to me) that the "Hot & Fresh" takes you to a missing install file from cobb.uk.net or a garage.maemo file from Oct 2007... Something is amiss here.

I think it would be a Good Thing to integrate it into the GPE calendar package, but then why in the world would a new separate version be advertised in Hot & Fresh?

I'm still befuddled.

I have the same problems, i am not able to instell any gpe parts!

Everytime i try:
"Vorgang fehlgeschlagen!"

It means "pozess failed"

I am wondering why it is so difficult to get an adress book or a calendar installed on the 770
