Re: How to install deb files in N900
 

Add the extras-testing repository as described here: https://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing (and I recommend disabling it after installing the app so as not to get unstable updates to regular stuff)

Can you screenshot your error, and the settings you have put in? (I for one put freemantle instead of fremantle, and got the same error)
(Ctrl+Shift+P on the device to screenshot it - image can be found in the images folder)

Still what is the superuser password?

Re: How to install deb files in N900
 

Password is not set by default

Re: How to install deb files in N900
 

It's called simply extras instead of extras-testing, but doesn't yet have the flashlight app.

Re: How to install deb files in N900
 

is there any program for easy use to install deb files this is really stupid to tape whole thing in xterminal any time i want to install something thanx

Re: How to install deb files in N900
 

Yeah, it's called App Manager. Normal users don't use a deb file every time they want to install apps, and devs are fine using xterm. Even so, devs still don't usually deal with deb files except in development.

Re: How to install deb files in N900
 

I can't seem to install applications using xterm.

I have the Rootsh programming and start with sudo gainroot.

Problem is, even using the correct structure it just tells me that the directory is not found, I don't get it....
