installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have recently purchased a nokia n900 running Maemo 5, version 10.2010.19-1.203.1 and am experiencing problems installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1. I have also experienced problems installing easy-deb-chroot. Each time I try to install either one of these apps I get the following error
Quote:

Unable to install 'easy-deb-chroot'
Application packages missing: libxmu6 (>=1.0.4-1)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
Hmm, that package sould be pre-installed. Make sure you have the nokia repositories enabled. If they are try running
Code:

apt-get update
and then
Code:

apt-get install libxmu6
as root in xterminal. If it gives some errors paste them here.

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
Are application catalogues the same as repositories?, if so I can see that Nokia Applications is there. If not how do I check that the repositories are enabled?. - many thanks!

MiK546 2011-10-10 18:06

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
Yes, application catalogues are repositories. If the Nokia ones are enabled, try runnig the commands I wrote above. For more info about running commands as root see this page: wiki.maemo.org/Root.

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
Hi I ran apt-get update, and it processed fine, however if I run apt-get install libxmu6, I get the following messages :
Quote:

Package libxmu6 is not available, but is referred to by another package
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package luibxmu6 has no installation candidate.
Thank you for your time.

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
The the only thing I can think of is to install the package manually. Install this package by downloading it to your MyDocs folder and then running
Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i libxmu6_1.0.4-1_armel.deb

as root.

No... this tells you that wmctrl depends on libc6 greater than 2.7... Let's say that is not possible on n900 (not true but for now let's assume this). Btw. my wmctrl install depends on libc6 >=2.5.0-1 so I do not know where you want to install wmctrl from but you should check that...

Proper information the key to successful helping is.

Why manual download? Why from openrepos (it is a N9 platform)?
What is the command used? What the full output?

Why try to install libc via apt (using standard repo mechanism)?
What are your configured repositories.
And and and ....

What would be the output of
apt-get install wmctrl -s
or
apt-get install --reinstall wmctrl -s
My wmctrl is 1.07-5 and libc6 is 2.5.1-1 on N900.

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
I second peterleinchen's post. I do not have my N900 with me but I have just checked files in http://repository.maemo.org/ manually in a random Linux box and...

Code:

$ dpkg --info easy-deb-chroot_0.9.56-1fremantle1_armel.deb
<snip>
 Depends: easy-chroot (>= 0.2.7), lzma, wget, wmctrl, zenity, murrinanightorange
<snip>

Note no specific version requirements on wmctrl.
Nevertheless...

Code:

$ dpkg --info wmctrl_1.07-5_i386.deb
<snip>
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5.0-1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.20.3-1maemo2+0m5), libice6 (>= 1.0.4-1), libsm6 (>= 1.0.3-1), libx11-6 (>= 1.1.99.5+0m5), libxmu6 (>= 1.0.4-1)
<snip>

It looks to me like you either
a) downloaded the wrong installer (quite likely, considering you mentioned Openrepos); or
b) are missing the Extras repository in your app manager. Go to http://repository.maemo.org/ and click on the relevant install links.

So even without providing the proper information asked for we get a step further by having provided a random log from """app manager"""!
Please notice my bold formatted parts.

And I guess the problem comes from:
[code]

O mah gawd...

Peter...
Please don't tell me you were using a Yoda voice ...
When writing the first line of your post...
It would kill me...

And yeah...
Too many question marks concerning the possible unknown variables.

I figure if anyone needs help installing ...
with one of the easiest methods there is... of installing an alternative os ...via chroot
Then they need to go back to actual instructions...read them... reread them...rereread them...
Then practice until they get it.

Chrooting is profoundly easier than many other methods...

I know you are new to the os ...el cid ...
And you are a brave soul to jumping in the deep end of the pool ...takling some of the more advanced stuff...
When you really need to start perhaps more in the middle of the pool...(and not the shallow end of the pool...considering you seem pretty sharp)

But you definitely need to pour over the wiki and the forums various walkthroughs...and the various threads and posts people have painstakingly done to illuminate the best or easiest methods to do things, as much as read the various issues folks have had and how the issues were resolved...if they were resolved...

And expect some trial and error along your Jedi training path with Master Yodaleinchen...

The version of your wmctrl is different. Note 1.07-5 in Extras versus your 1.07-6.
(OK, I checked the i386 build yesterday by mistake but the armel build is identical, as verified today.)

The key to getting help is providing useful information, especially answers to specific questions people keep asking you again and again.

So, one last time,
where did you get yours from?

peterleinchen 2018-05-22 10:23

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
So let us guess further, pichlo! ;)

I assume he downloaded the version for N9 (hint for CID: here are missing two ZEROs).
Probably someone with an alive N9 can check hers/his version of wmctrl (just to verify)?

Else I do not further how to help but configuring the sourceslist (overwriting deprecated nokia ones with the mirror repos). And using standard mechanism (not fapman).

That's probbaly not much of a problem in an english-speaking community with mostly non-native speakers. ;)
...although I must admit, the thought that whoever came up with that name actually knew what it meant is quite hilarious.

Now you have me wondering, what using this kind of extensions AND losing track of them does to a person's perception of the world and his knowledge/state of mind. :eek:

Just imagine a student of meteorology unknowingly using this cloud2butt extension (and probably some others), years later becoming a weather reporter on a TV channel!

I've had cloud2butt (as you can see, it also changed cloud to butt in your quoted post) installed for a couple of years now, and I can safely say I no longer know whether it's supposed to say 'cloud' when I see 'butt'. Often I think it's supposed to be 'cloud', and it turns out it was actually 'butt' all along. 'The weather is butty today' has become a perfectly normal phrase, and 'ButtFlare' is the company I see every time a website is down. I'm not the only one, apparently.

You got it backwards!

You're the one having a problem and wanting it fixed. So it's your obligation to pay attention to what people ask of you and answer all their questions as precisely as possible - because they pose them for good reasons.
So far you're not doing this, which is why this thread is going nowhere.

For example, you've been asked which repos you use (because it is suspected, that you accidentaly use N9 repos). A precise answer would be to quote the strings from your package manager of choice - to the letter(!).
I suggest you re-read the whole thread from the point of your first post, scan for any questions directed at you and think very thoroughly about how to answer every single one of them as precisely as possible.

endsormeans 2018-05-23 18:00

Re: installing Easy Debian v0.9.56-1fremantle1on nokia n900
 
EXACTLY what I was going to say.

To add to it...
Want it fixed el cid?
Here is an answer.

For starters..
To eliminate all possible problems from the very beginning that could be "human error"...

Download and reflash your n900 back to square one...
with the PROPER version...

If you are having issues ...STILL...after a complete reinstall ...
THEN ...BEFORE you install ANYTHING ELSE...
Come and state the issues involved and it will be easier to discount human error....and thus focus on other potential culprits of the issues you are having.

If you are having no issues after your reinstall of the os on your n900...
Then make sure whatsoever you install afterwards ...
is MEANT for THAT version.

Then go back to the wikis and threads and study....study ....study..
And until you are CERTAIN that you know what you are doing and the possible issues you could encounter ...
DON'T muck with your functioning n900


As well...
This is a "community" ...
we aren't "Geek Squad" here...
We aren't paid to help a soul...
We bother to help people because we are troubled troubled troubled individuals who have serious masochistic issues...and probably even more deeply rooted problems...

Expect us to deviate from topic in a thread...
For most of us it helps us focus ON the topic...
(sort of like ...forgetting about the issue to find the answer...like hunting for lost car keys...if you stop looking for them...you find them ...eh? )

And expect us to use humour..
No one will come to a thread and reply to anything if we can't use humour ...

and lastly...
Don't get your knickers in a knot man...
A complete and PROPER reflash will have most...if not all your issues resolved...

And I suggest you get a couple of inspirational posters for your office...

a "hang in there kitty" poster ...

https://i.imgflip.com/1xap5q.jpg

and a Deadpool poster

https://image.spreadshirtmedia.com/i...emium-tank.jpg

Maximum effort baby!

Can't ever go wrong with those two...
The kitten and Deadpool ...just work.

Well...my Spanish is not as fine as my fiance's ...
and my written Spanish is even worse than my spoken...
And I didn't quite make out the entirety of your statement..
But for sure..."idiot" and "endsormeans" present in the same sentence ...
in any language...
does not impress me.

A "madcap" ..a "dancing ninny"...many names I can think of could apply...and I take no offense in...

But "idiot" is not one....

I am not the one...
running from thread to thread asking so many wildly differing questions,
expecting others to solve them for me and hand me answers,
and not listening to sage advice from others....
to solve my problems..

In fact...
On the topic of even asking questions ...
It has been a very long time since I needed to ask a technical question to a problem on one of my devices...

Not that that has much bearing on the pressing issues at hand...

Since I am not the one asking so many questions and wishing for immediate answers handed to me...

Am I now?

In fact ...I'm one of the guys here that makes easy step by step instructions anyone can do...(including those with no understanding of Linux at all...) ....
As long as they pay attention and focus on following the instructions exactly...

So...."idiot" ....and "endsormeans" in the same sentence are perhaps the last 2 things that go together currently.

You know, before El Cid's lat post, I would have been happy to put it down to plain old language barrier. Now I am not so sure any more.

El Cid, for your information, no one is "attacking " you. You came here demanding help, without providing enough information. You ignored every piece of advice and every question that could help us to help you. You acted like it was our duty to somehow magically figure out what your problem was. And now you have the gall to act like we somehow wrongerd you and go and get some random files from somewhere and assume they are the solution to your problem? No, my friend. I am not impressed either.

pichlo, it is not a random file, I compiled and shared it specifically to be able to install nvim on n900 for myself (see the specific thread); it is not a solution to this specific problem that el cid is trying to solve though... and I must agree with you...

Sorry, justmemory. I meant no disrespect to you or your files. By "random" I meant exactly that, "randomly found, with an uncertain connection to OP's specific case".

I am still convinced that El Cid's problems started with using the wrong installer, most likely one for the N9 rather than N900, but he/she/it is too stubborn (or clueless) to admit (or realise) it.

And this is where I do agree with you.
