I just updated firmware to 13 also, (hoped that it would boot the meego thing on the SD, from the terrible guide : http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/MMC BUT nope it didnt).

Anybody had any success booting "Meego" lately?
(I noticed, that this sites wiki -page, doesn't mention "meego" any more.. but the "talk" no ends of the speculations... )

On this 13 thing, I tapped on the google ikoon on the desctop, no no respond ( but then 10 windows with google finally appears).

I really don't know what I am doing when it comes to Debian package management, but I think this issue may be because python2.5-qt4-common is now at ver 4.7.5-maemo1 in extras and extras-testing but the other matching components like python2.5-qt4-core are still at 4.7.4-maemo0

Here's the latest, proper, easy, sort of official way of booting meego on PR1.3

I also foolishly upgraded python-qt with apt and broke things. I messed around a lot trying to rebuild but downgrading apt-get install python2.5-sip4=4.10.5-maemo0 now lets me run anselA. Will try the other apps but you might prefer to wait for advice from someone who actually nows what they're doing.

Wiki needs to be updated

MeeGo code drops are now can be found only at

http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds


http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/meego-codedrop.php is no longer needed

...maybe it wasn't the best solution.

EDIT: Holding back python qt common and sip4 hasn't caused problems for me, yet. Also, we scored two snarky thread tags.

Thanks for that. I didn't know the syntax for installing a particular version of a package. I just did a "apt-get install python2.5-qt4-common=4.7.4-maemo0" and then I was able to install pyradio since it was then able to install the rest of the (4.7.4-maemo0) python-qt packages.

ETA: hm it got it installed but pyradio threw a "RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.QtGui module requires API v7.1" ... I started over with an "apt-get install python2.5-qt4-common=4.7.4-maemo0 python2.5-sip4=4.10.5-maemo0" first and that worked..

It looks like some what I would call big dependencies issues have been created in the offial comunity repo. Holding back the python2.5-qt4-common package and others mentioned above is a workaround for packages that require that version, so long as you do not need the newer version for anotehr package in the non-testing repo. I did not upgrade via apt comandline to create the problem and am leaving my bug filed (link above) in. The non testing comunity reop should not have this kind of dependancy problem. I should be able to use the graphical package manager on the device for all non testing packages. I am fine using this work around as a power user but it is not a solid option for regular users.
