- right click (or hold if you are doing it on the N8x0) - save file (use internal memory).
Open file manager and go to the location where you saved the .deb file. Execute (it will open application manager and install the package).

What a mess in here :)

I think the real bad idea is to have osso-software-version-rx*4 not installed. It's a kind of central package.. 618 dependencies!!!
And this whole thread is about upgrading this exact package, so the people who don't have it, erm.. can't uprade it!?

People who have "not installable" or who want to know if this or that is installed can try
apt-cache policy <packagename> to track a bit more their problem. This command tells you which version you have installed and to which version apt-get can upgrade it, and from where.

apt-cache policy osso-software-version-rx44

Concerning size problems, I just saw this maemo-specific tag:
"Maemo-Required-Free-Space: 20480"
Looks like that was not enough or not used at all..

GA,
Thanks for clarifying the download issue. If it downloads to mmc2 on an N810 I can see a problem.. that's the internal flash and it could well be pretty full.. (presumably it doesn't automatically download to mmc2 on an N800 if there's no card in there..?)

Grab another copy of fanoush's flasher for the SD and upgrade that partition, too.

Is it possible tp upgrade the partition on my sd if I can no longer boot from it?
I think thats the problem. After the failed update my n800 wont boot to my sd anymore. I can only boot from flash and I have already updated the bootmenu, but still no go. When I boot to flash I can see my sd card and read/write to it just fine. All my files are there.

It wiped out my boot menu but that was easy to fix - used gunzip on initfs_flash.tgz, did a tar -xvf, put it right under / , read Fanoush's README.txt, ran initfs_flash; it grabbed my saved bootmenu and I am able to boot to SD and to flash. I'm booted to SD as I post this.
...the worst that will happen is I will need to redo the initfs_flash.

Just a note.. this is the reason in my steps posted previously that I decided to upgrade the SD first...

While reloading the bootmenu is a minimal problem - having to do it twice is just an annoyance. If you install to SD first; wipe your boot menu; you'll boot into flash. Then install in flash (before fixing boot menu) .. tablet reboots and you're still in flash.

Then you fix the boot menu.. and both SD and Flash are updated with only one bootmenu fix. If you do it the other way (flash first).. you end up fixing boot menu after flash to boot to sd.. then fixing bootmenu after SD to get back into SD.

I am one of the few lucky one that has encountered no problem, so far. I just want to confirm that during the update, it does state (or ask) for 20 MB space.

That was probably me, trying to keep the technical discussion in one thread and the newbie problems in another... I've discovered that it is like trying to herd cats, however. Better just to shrug and let it go...

cat /mnt/initfs/etc/initfs_version

shows the old version of the initfs.

I am using the bootmenu and was booted from SD when I did the update. How do I get the new initfs/rootfs?

I do have a recient backup and could always boot to flash. Run the update a second time and reclone to SD and restore. Is there a better way?

I got the new update (or at least my control panel says that I did), but I too did not get the new version of the initfs, and my bootmenu remains intact. Does anyone know what changes were made in the initfs? Do I need the new one? Why? And how do I get it, now that the update is done and nothing is showing as needing an update? Perhaps I already have it, and I need to run that flash-and-reboot thing?

Re: First Diablo SSU update is out (4.2008.30-2)

Run flash-and-reboot in a terminal manually and then reboot and install bootmenu.

Exactly, I have not installed 30-2, so for me it's not right at the moment. I think I need to have the previous repo to reinstall 30-2

my application manager log:

hildon-application-manager 2.1.16
apt-worker: Ignoring version from wrong domain: libdb4.2 4.2.52+dfsg-2
apt-worker: /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras_dists_diablo_free_bina ry-armel_Packages
apt-worker: Ignoring version from wrong domain: libreadline4 4.3-10
apt-worker: /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras_dists_diablo_free_bina ry-armel_Packages

OK, something is wrong with that, but I'm not sure what. I have installed some chinook things, but i disabled those repositories before updating. How can i find exactly what came from where in my installed packages?

If I do that can i break it worse? Right now it appears to be working, it's just not updated
I'll read those posts about cloning the OS before trying that, next time I'll have a full backup before upgrading.

Isn't that kind of extreme? It means i would have to reinstall everything (I did the backup when asked, I just don't know what was backuped)
