New n800/OS2008 user saying Hi! Q: Repositories really working? (maemo Extra)
Hi!
My first real post here. I got my n800 a few weeks back and started to play around with it and I really love it! I have been sneaking around these forums collecting info and news while waiting for the os2008. Upgraded yesterday and got really excited about the new looks an responsive UI. I will try to get involved in a few open-souce projects with my graphicsdesign skills (if you got something going on contact me on claes.norin@gmail.com). Now to my question: I have trouble when I try to update the maemo extra repo. It seems to be down. Is it? (I am trying to install pidgin, mplayer, gpe suite, and some other apps) |

I guess the servers are really busy cos' of this new OS update. Just keep trying.

You could always refresh the repos from xterm.
Works for me. 'course, you need to be root, so first install the becomeroot (check this thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...omeroot+os2008) sudo gainroot apt-get update Done. Check your available apps in the program manager. |

also,read what it says about duplicates at gronmayer.. I had trouble refreshing until I got rid of all in my catalogue and added back just those i had before. then all worked fast ;-)

Still it needs to download Pidgin from those overloaded servers. |
