You've read my comment (one post ^up of yours) about my package needing Hildon Application Manager, as I've been stupid enough to use dbus based info(/warning) notifiers for your convenience, that fail in apt-get?
You also noticed about my rather simple workaround to enable uninstalling *#-ena once you managed to delete the relevant file that makes *#-ena uninstall fail when not existing (open dialer menu, select "screen rotation", switch "orientation" to some new value, "store")?

Please also refer to original thread linked to under "report bug" on http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...hash-enabler/# -> http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...930#post807930 , http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=756257

thanks for using *#-enabler, sorry for the inconvenience, don't forget clicking "thanks" down ->there if you feel this post or *# was useful

Hi guys,

I have a problem uninstalling Starhash-enabler, I have tried all the below but it gives the same error (see attached please), when I try using the Hildon Ap Man, it fails and exits and log is;

"hildon-application-manager 2.2.72
apt-worker exited.
apt-worker: too weak to get lock from 2311.
read: Bad file descriptor"

See also attached a screen capture of the same.

pls assist as am not able to install or un-install/upgrade anything.

Am Fred.

Please try
Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq catorise starhash-enabler
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
dpkg --configure -a
I am not sure about the state of catorise application, there could be a dependency towards perl be missing, but there is catoriseplus package, which should install fine.

It has actually now gone bad;

I have two batteries, I charge and change since my usb is faulty. This afternoon, my battery died so I removed that one and put in another one which was fully charged by then.
On restarting, the phone starts up as usual, nokia logo and the hands pass and after that, the phone stays on for like 5-10 seconds and goes off. After 15 seconds, it brings itself back on and this repeats over and over again.

I can't really tell what went wrong, and it goes off so fast, before I even get to contents of Menu.....

Confused and really confused, please advicee..

Try to pull the battery for a couple of minutes for the memory to reset, try to charge the last working battery and start the N900 with that again.
If your N900 shuts itself down due to low power, it could happen that the kernel gets corrupted. Is this stock nokia kernel or kernel-power?

The battery didn't wake the phone to normal function like it would and I believe the kernel is the stock kernel cos I got errors trying to replace it and gave up on it. When I insert the usb cable with the phone of, it vibrates and starts charging...nokia suite detects it but says the phone is not in PC Suite mode. Nokia Software updater does not detect the phone anyhow.

what happens when the kernel gets corrupted Michaaa62?

btw, I have just tried to restart it, and just after entering the lock code and starts, a call came through, I answered and the call lasted up to around 1 minute. On checking it again, it was locked on the qtlockscreen and on sliding to unlock, the led lit white and went off
