Ok, try this.
1. Download the .deb file onto your N900. For example, download it to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
2. Close the app manager
3. Go to X Terminal and type the following:
4. You should get the following output in X Terminal
5. The App Manager should come up and prompt you to install rootsh.

Alternatively, download the attached file (install_rootsh.txt) and save it somewhere on your N900, e.g. /home/user/YOUR_OWN_FOLDER/.
Then, go to X Terminal and type
That should bring up the App Manager and prompt you to install rootsh.

Did the X Terminal give you invalid arguments? Or did the App Manager?
What was the exact error message?
And just to make sure, the path to the .deb file needs to be updated in install_rootsh.txt.

in the x terminal: the error that appears is:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Invalid arguments
then the app manager pops up and nothing happens.
just a question, i have the file the main document called (DAMAJ) inside documents. i should write home/user/DAMAJ/Documents or just DAMAJ/Documents ? i tried both anyway

So, if you've saved that file under "Documents" as DAMAJ, then, you should run the commands like so
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents sh install_rootsh.txt
