N810 and USBcontrol

[mjlaris]

I just bought an N810 about a week ago and I'm trying to install USBcontrol so that I can use a memory stick with it. I have updated the firmware to the latest version and tried to download USBcontrol from maemo.org but I get the following error message:

Unable to install usbcontrol.
Incompatible application package.

So, I went to the home page of the developer and downloaded it from there but when I try to install it I get another error message:

Unable to install usbcontrol.
Some application packages required for the installation are missing.

When I check the details of the above dialog box, I get the following:

Unable to install usbcontrol
Application packages missing: python2.5-runtime

However, I cannot figure out how to install the python2.5-runtime package. It does not appear in any of my catalogs. I have searched the Internet and this site but I have not found a solution that works. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks,

Mark

Enable chinook extras in your app manager repositories.

Fragos,
with this cable you can uninstall usb-control?
if so , if you plug in a usb drive it will show up right away?
what do you need to do to remove it? just unplug it?
thanks

When removing a USB drive you tap the USB icon and tell it to unmount. All waiting write buffers will be flushed and you can safely unpluged the storage.
