catalogs enabled do include maemo.org catalog previously called Maemo Extras. http://repository.maemo.org/extras/

python-xml is a library and does not show up in the application manager. It is meant to be handled transparently as in any applications libraries get installed automatically with the application.

My guess would be there is some kind of larger problem. Unfortunately to debug this situation will require some command line work. How comfortable with it do you feel? If I gave you some commands to try, do you think you could post the output?

Re: Quicknote - question and request

thats wat i thought earlier too abt being handled in the background. I think it had to do with application manager. It was acting up. Now i havent done anything extra besides reloading catalogs but its allowed me to install it now.

thanks guys.

I have not research what it takes to be backed up along with everything else as part of the Nokia backup system.

If you want to do it manually, either on the command line or with an advanced file browser copy the following files

Code:

/home/user/quicknote.s3db # Database

/home/user/.quicknote.dat # Unsure

/home/user/.quicknote # Log and settings

/home/user/quicknote.s3db

-> Nope, this files is stored in /home/user/MyDocs/quicknote.s3db instead.

When i restore it, my notes are gone. Basically from a quick glance, it seems the database has it's table structure, but no contents - in both backups (via BackupMenu) that i have.

Also,

/home/user/.quicknote.dat doesn't exit, but:

/home/user/.quicknote.dat.bak (zero bytes)
/home/user/.quicknote.dat.dat (zero bytes)
/home/user/.quicknote.dat.dir (zero bytes)

I still have the logfile (/home/user/.quicknote/quicknote.log) which shows the note GUIDs.

Can it be that:

During backup, the zero-byte files could not be read (it was from backupmenu which is basically runlevel 3 - can't be), or that Quicknote stores it's stuff somewhere else under Maemo?
