I wonder if someone could help a linux noob with my n900 problem.

Suddenly I can't install any programs on my n900.

I got it back from service (dead mainboard), and after installing 2 apps I used to have before the service I get the error message "can't install program" (translated from my phone language, so actual error message could be different in English).

I get no details it just returns to app manager.

This now happens on all program I try to install, even after I uninstall the 2 ones i got installed and I try install them again..

I've tried http://mynokiablog.com/2010/01/05/fi...error-on-n900/ with no luck.

(Have now just the apps that is pre installed from factory, so available space is no problem)

anyone?

now i no longer get the "can't install program", i get "can't install xxxx. Install file is broken"???

This is on any apps I try installing..

..and I just found out that I can't save log file because "Documents" are write protected, and any where else give "operation failed".. :S

MyDocs got corrupt then, do you have rootsh installed?
If not, can you download and install this? http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p..._1.5_armel.deb
Just click on the link and it should say "Open in App Manager"
Hopefully it will use the /tmp or /var to download it.
After installing it, open terminal, type root then:
Code:
fsck.vfat -a /dev/mmcblk0p1
Then reboot the device.

third time is a charm, I can now both save log and install some apps, but still most of the apps end up with the same "can't install".

Is this because of the updated maemo?

AND then it starts giving the "can't install xxxx. Install file is broken" instead of "can't install".. what happens with this??? -should I just reset the device or something??
