How to download RepoMirror
 
Just recieved a brand new N9 running SW 1.2. Wanted to install RepoMirror but ran into a problem: The browser won't go to that site. And downloading manually doesn't help much either since i don't have any means to install that deb-package. Any ideas ? Install 1.3 ?

Error is (roughly translated from German): Unable to open website.

EDIT: Put that file on own server. Didn't help much, won't download. So my problem is different from those who are unable to install. I'm not even able to download that file

downloading the deb manually should add it to transfers. and you can install by touching on it in the transfers page

Unfortunately- no. Clicking on download-link (found one on mediafire) produces an error: Unable to download, type application/vnd.debian.binary-package not supported.

How come Meego Harmattan won't support .deb ?

Installation from unknown sources is enabled.

"Download failed. Couldn't download that file. Type application/vnd.debian.binary-package not supported"

That's strange, never happened to me. Does PR 1.2 not allow to download debs like that? I have always been on 1.3 so i don't know.

U can try installing PR1.3 or do you want to be on 1.2 for some reason?
Also before that you could try to wipe/restore device, as you got it recently, i imagine it won't hurt to do that.

Thanks. Nothing to wipe. The device is new.

The problem is downloading with your n9, right?
What if you download repomirror .deb file
https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror
in a computer and copy it to your n9 via usb cable?

a) mediafire: Link from here: http://beunlike.com/comment-retrouve...n9-sans-nokia/

b) sure i can copy that file. But what then ? There's no way to install it afterwards, is there ?

Nevermind. Updating to 1.3 did the trick.

Thanks @all that helped.
