Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Because people in here have said it works with the i....

I have tried both ways without success.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Hi Honeybadger,

I tried the advice from TECHNUT in this thread, I then disabled (didn't delete - just clicked the box) all other Maemo catalogues in the Application Manager. It then worked OK.

What I need to know is what catalogues should I have in there when all is sorted??? There are 5 at the moment (disabled) plus the TEMP ones from TECHNUT's click now.:confused:

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

What repositories one has in their catalog will completely depend on what apps one wants to install. TechNuts temp repos are for the Maemo and Maemo Extras repos. So when all is fixed, you would delete the temporary ones and enable those two (plus any others you want to install apps from). I personally have ~12 repos in my catalog.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

So, be ready to keep them for a long time...:D

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Well I now have 2 repostory catalogs and still can't install anything...

Any other ideas?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

I gonna tell you how I installed everithing on my last reflash (one day ago)
First; delete all existing repos on your app manager
second: go to gronmayer and download every single repo for your os (be carefull to download the proper one) (if your OS is 2008 you will see that the first two or three repos does'nt work; don't care about, install all the others including the temp fix ones!)
after that, you will be able to install almost all the apps available for your OS. If any app is not listed, then go to Maemo and install the individual app from there.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Personally I am waiting for the day after tomorrow when Finland gets back to work.

It seems pointless wasting time on this now, of course it may prove to be equally fruitless on 2nd Jan.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Seems like it may be back to functional, as everything is working fine over here with repository.maemo.org and stage.maemo.org seems to be down.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

I did everything everyone has said, taking out the "i", downloading technut's TEMPORARY repositories, and yet I still CAN'T get python 2.5 to install. It downloads very nicely, but fails to install and is bugging the heck out of me!!! Kill me now... (I think we need a thread dedicated to ranting) :)

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Well, stage.maemo.org is now down, so have you tried just using repoitory.maemo.org? You'll also need bora extras.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Application manager reports that python cannot be installed, however, looking into what programs I have installed, python is listed, albeit broken. In my case the repositories are not the issue, just installing the file has become very troublesome.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

A log would help us fix the problem for you a lot more quickly. There's a log entry in the App Manager menu. Newest stuff is at the bottom.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python2.5-runtime:
python2.5-runtime depends on python2.5-cairo (>= 1.4.0-1osso1); however:

Thats what is reported in the log.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Ok, The magic day is here and still nothing is installing.

Does anyone have a list of repositories that should be on my device just so I can do a reset and make sure I am trying to connect to the correct ones.

I mean the original Nokia and base repositories?

Thanks,

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Under the circumstances shouldn't we expect a formal announcement and clarification by Nokia?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Perhaps I missed an update or something else is wrong in my setup but I am still not getting applications to download.

Are things fixed yet?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

I believe, I read a post in the last few days that said the repositories were fixed - if this is the case then you should just disable the 2 Temporary repos and enable the originals.

If that doesn't fix things and you still can't download applications, then we need more details as to what you've tried and what error messages you're getting. There is also a log file in the menu of the applications manager that could shed some light on why you're having problems :)

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

You really need to be more specific. If you cannot get any applications to download, you are in serious trouble. If you can't get some certain applications to download, you need to tell us something about them.

By the way, I have car problems -- what should I do?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

I just replaced my temp hildon*.list with my backed up original and did a apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. The update ran fine, then the upgrade downloaded/installed the new drop of mplayer w/o errors from repository.maemo.org.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Can anyone point me to an official statement on the state of the Repositories and whether they are now properly fixed?

I have seen hearsay and rumour on the forums that they have been but my experience suggests otherwise.

My Application Manager log is here replicated in case it helps shed some light on both mine and others' issues. It may be helpful to ignore the Tuomas Kulve rep for the time being.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

I posted multile times on the issue I was getting responses from everyone in here said it was just repository issue. I was just checking status of the repositories not re-asking the question.

One more time: I click on for example "memeopad+", it starts to download and just ends with "Download failed", that's it.

I just tried to install Canola2, it says downloading 9.52MB, just sits for about 5 mins with no progress then says "download Failed".

Now I am asking, should I reflash my 810?

Thanks,

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

I'm sure the "repostory" hack still works until they get it sorted out.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

I don't think you need to reflash. Give a try, delete all your previous repos and reinstall them. Hope this help.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

But we have been told by forum members that it has been sorted. So has it or hasn't it? Frankly I don't think anybody knows for sure.

I do better than you in terms of download progress but I still get "Unable to install Canola". Are we simply having different symptoms of the same problem? Why don't you Refresh your Application list and post your log?

I want to reflash my N800 but am not prepared to invite yet more grief until I know for sure that the repository and download issues have been resolved. From what I can see, the situation is in a state of flux and inherently unreliable.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

No, it doesn't, becuase stage.maemo.org is no longer accessible.

Delete the hacked maemo.org entries and re-add or enable the normal ones. Works fine over here.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Stage.maemo.org is enabled in my Catalogue. If it is not accessible then shouldn’t there be log entry to say so? Or is my understanding wrong?

I have done this and still experience problems.

My experiences are inconsistent so the fact that the repositories work for some and not others is not altogether surprising.

GeneralAntilles, do you have access to any specific Nokia/Maemo announcement to confirm the official status of the issue?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Pfft. Of course not. There aren't any and probably never will be. But things are working fine for me and three other people I know personally with N800s.

I can't raise stage.maemo.org either on the tablets or through ping. Did you disable the stage/repostory/whatever entries before testing to see if the regular repos are working?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Yes tried it all ways, Log does not report any issues with stage.maemo.org

Does that mean that stage.maemo.org is working?

My persistent problem is with http://tuomas.kulve.fi/and http://maemo-hackers.org/.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Oh why didn't you say that before :p ... I've been having problems with the Tuomas repo for days, ever since I tried to update my ogg support. Ogg still works though - I get tons of messages in my log though about gstreamer* & dependency problems when I try to re-install ogg. I figure I'll wait a few days and try again. :) I haven't had any issue with the few other repos I've tried today including Maemo Chinook (one of the ones borken before).

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

You are welcome I'm sure.

How is maemo-hackers for you?
The fact that it is a Maemo repository gives me cause for concern when it is not accessible, or is that just for me?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Well to be honest there's nothing in that repo that I needed to install so I haven't tried it.

However, I did "take the red pill" and go into App Manager and have a look at the packages available for that repo. What I found is that most all of the installable packages I looked at have gstreamer* dependencies.

Considering all of the error messages I've gotten concerning gstreamer problems with the Tuomas Kulve repos - I'm guessing that's the same problem with Maemo Hackers. There were a few packages I came across that didn't have gstreamer* dependencies but that weren't installable for other reasons.

I was able to successfully install SGT-puzzles from Maemo Hackers repo - but it doesn't have any gstreamer dependencies :)

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

To be honest, I am not even sure which repositories I should have and where they should be pointed to...

Could anyone post a site with them or does anyone have a script to put them in I can click on?

Thanks all!

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Thanks for checking.

Your insight is very revealing, both of these repositories give a "public key is not available" error in my log. So whether it is a Maemo issue or not is unclear (well to me at any rate). Either way i shall stop fretting over it now.

Thanks again.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

@ Honeybadger - What I did when I first got my N810 was to go to www.gronmayer.com & click on the 2008 button then clicked the little box that said 'Install all'. However, you shouldn't install duplicates of repos so you should go into app manager 1st and delete any existing one's on the list. You probably should uncheck the install boxes on the Gronmayer site for the 2 'Temp fix for broken...' repos since they shouldn't be working anymore. That will give you the bulk of the repos out there. You can also get individual apps at http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008.

@Rebski - please post again if you ever get those repos working for you so I can try too. I'll do the same. :)

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

ok, I went to www.gronmayer.com, I don't see a 2008 link...gronmayer design?

Right site?

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Sorry for the incomplete link... Try this:

http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.php?lang=en&system=maemo4

:D

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Thanks, but what about

the empty http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified/. ?

Should't we have a new fresh load from the (for me) Nokia N800 site ?

I did search this thread, but do not see a final 'guaranteed' fixing of the repository problem. Somehwere else? Did I miss something?

As a general comment: searching around to fix all this keeps me busy to much. I did not buy my N800 to sit behind my PC loooking up all this. (Sorry, I do have a bit of a morning temper).

Thanks again for the good posts on this issue.
Abel.

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

Futures has compiled a list of what he calls 'official' repositories, see here
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ght=repository

The new one, to me, is Maemo Contrib

Re: ATTENTION: How to fix Maemo Extras Repository
 

FYI - Maemo Contrib has the same packages as Maemo Extras
