ha sorry about that, well i used apt-get install preenv, but it says package could not be found, also used apt-get update and apt-get clean to remove some of the stuff [i think thats what it means, im just new to this] so I went online on to youtube and saw how this guy does it. so i copyed him and did the same stuff as him but faild again. this time with a different message.
the error message.
this is the code i enterd
sudo gainroot
apt-get install preenv
I hit enter after that and then this stuff comes up no message about how much space it is going to take or anything.

reading package lists...done
Reading dependency tree
reading state information... done
E: couldent find package preenv

hope the new ino helps

pretty sure you have to enable either extra-testing or extra-devel before trying to install:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel

edit: per the Preenv Thread http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=35 the package is in the extra-devel repository. Enable it first then run the commands you posted above and it should work just fine.

Ok thanks, but how do I enable the extras?

Thanks

2 main things frozenholmes

1. make sure as mentioned above by lfcobra that extra-devel is activated.

2. and make sure you are connected online then try to install it.

also look at the preenv wiki that should help you

Thats amazing!!, this give you the whole list on how to install the games. But do you need the original file or folder inorder to use the code or do you just need to go in exteminal

Re: preenv not working on my n900

So, anyone? I flashed my device, and now when I try to install
preenv, I get the same error.


the following packages have unmet dependencies
preenv: depends: libglesl-sgx-img but it is not installable
E: broken paackages

Thought these packages were movoed so SSU?
