Hi all,

I have posted this in another thread (for N9/N950 devices), but since the questions are software related, therefore I post this again...

To make the story short, I have a China branded N9 missing apps like Skype, FB, Twitter...

I understand you need to firstly change the repos before you can install these missing apps...

What I got so far:
1) cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (the outcome is 'not found', so I got stuck here already)

2) another option gave me this as outcome:

# apt-get update
# apt-cache search skype
l10n-app-skype - Translation File for application skype
telepathy-spirit - Skype connection manager for Telepathy
account-plugin-skype - Skype plugin for accounts-ui
# apt-get install account-plugin-skype
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

Package account-plugin-skype is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package account-plugin-skype has no installation candidate

3) Next trial gave me this outcome:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/account-plugin-skype_0.104.1+0m8_armel.deb

Aegis rejecting /home/user/blabla: could not open debian archive
aegis aborting dpkg -- all listed package files rejected
Compilation failed in require

So any suggestions on how to continue?

Many thanks in advance...

That directory *must* exists.
What if you go one level at a time:
cd /etc
cd apt
cd sources.list.d

Where does it fail?

If you are using N9, just flash the global version then install the chinese dedicated apps such as weibo etc if you want. I do this on my N950. That's the easiest way. Changing repo may causing conflict between kernels, they use different ones after PR1.2.

My N9 is org nokia for singapore region but it says is made in china, some hacking things does not seem to fully work like debian throgh schroot or so, the weaknes of wifi to...and i em stuck on fw.1.3 009...hm what a mistake i made, i can't fllash to 001!

Hi minimos,

cd / etc (ok)
cd apt ('permission denied')...

It seems I cannot even open the most basic operations...

Hi chenliangchen,

Did you do the flashing yourself? Or do you know a place in Shanghai where I can perform this?...
Thanks...

Hi An9,

My N9 is not even 2 weeks old, PR1.3 was installed when I got the phone... It seems that a lot of hackings/upgrades cannot be performed with PR1.3...

I hope you are running the commands as root, but anyway even if logged as 'user' you should be able to access /etc/apt directory.
This is from my device:
How does that look in your case?

Hi minimos,
Thanks for your help.

1) /etc I get 'permission denied'
2) when I try ls -ald /etc/apt I get the following:

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 May 27 01:48 /etc/apt

Sounds like we are not the only ones with this problems...how can we fix fllashing problem, bcz i know thare was working well things with fw.1.3....001 region.
