i did something ill explain...
placed all the necessary files on my usbstick/flashdrive. booted up linux.
dragged the files from the usb onto the linux desktop. right-clicked open terminal here. (terminal opens with desktop path) then i typed:
sudo dpkg -1 (flasher name).deb (hit enter)
here is where it gets funny
the flasher seems to start installing and a pop up of something along the lines of "maemo flasher tool property of Nokia etc" comes up with "Configuring Tool" in red at the top. However im unable to click "ok" and the flasher just stalls at that point.
i also tried to open the terminal and did the same commands but i get "package in use"
no matter how long i wait nothing seems to install...suggestions?
