Hello Everyone
I'm very new and as you can see I don't know what I'm doing, but I NEED Help. I'm trying to install Python 2.5, to simply get a full size clock on my home screen. I went to Python Page and "tried" to follow the directions and figure out some things on my own without "Breaking" my NIT. I'm at the part where I go to XTerm and type in the following:


Now run x-term application, to get a command line prompt.
Your device must be in RD mode.
This is done using sudo flasher --enable-rd-mode.

OK, when I type in the "SUDO FLASHER --ENABLE-RD-MODE.
"It ask me for a password" so I search all the different sites and found something that told me to type in the default password:
"ROOTME", but it tells me that this is incorrect.

"What am I don't wrong here?"

Erg . . . what directions are you following? :\

Just uncheck the "Disabled" box under maemo Extras in the Application Manager Repositories dialog, then install from there.

Python should be installed for any application needs it. If this application isn't in a repository and it doesn't install python automatically, this application isn't end-user ready. Please contact to developer and show him your anger.

tj, I had the same problem. Go to this thread; Dubwise answers you in post #6.

Thanks Everyone for ALL YOUR HELP.
It wasn't as easy as I thought it would/should be, but I finally got the mClock installing and running.
I found that there were so many people saying so many things, it became difficult to follow along, also I noticed that people only give half the information assumming you already know the rest, which also became a problem. But I think the solution is creating a forum of known fixes, with step by step procedures for newies "such as I to follow" and having the site "GURU" look over all the fixes BEFORE allowing them to be posted, that way, newbies "such as I" can go to one place to find the correct answers to their issue, without having to jump from one thread, to the next, to the next, to the next.

EXAMPLE: My fix went like this:
Duncan said: "Install the repository EKO ONE from Http://ww.gronmayer.com/it/index.hph , then do a SUDO GAINROOT (which worked, but I didn't know what came after that, so I' when back to this forum and had to search for the rest.

Then Dubwise: "Bless his heart" Gave the whole command which was:
Sudo Gainroot
# apt-get install python2.5-runtime ( which also worked, but I didn't know what to do after that, so I said YES to everything, and after it finished "doing it thing" just closed out of XTerm "Not really sure if I should have, but no one told me any different. I then installed my mClock.

Thanks again guys for all your help, but I still think it should NOT BE THIS HARD. And remember, "Newbie's like me depend on you for ALL THE INFORMATION, NOT JUST SOME.

Peace
