Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

you want fremantle in the dist. (I dunno if this is required). I used those same settings and it worked for me earlier, although I am currently also getting an error on the extras-devel repository. To the effect of No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists.new.... etc etc

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

It doesn't change anything.
There have been some problems with extras-devel recently and at the moment I'm also getting an error about hash entry.

We just need to wait (if you are getting the same error).

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

there is a message says "no hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists.new/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle_Release"


any idea?

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

I got that message two days ago, but it went away yesterday.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

the repository is apparently down. Its quite often down. Try again tomorrow and it will work again. Hopefully

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

thanks to all. will try again.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

Did this get fixed yet? It's still down.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

repro... extras-devel down

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

Its working for me.. only thing i changed is web address

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/

Don't forget to add backslash after devel.

I am not sure it make difference but for me its working

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N-900
 

Nope, I still get "No Hash Entry in Release file" error

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

Seems to be a known issue with the repository: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6460

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

It works fine for me.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

...running into the same problem now; they realy need "faster machines" to solve that? Slow forum ("...need more servers..."), we can not test apps because of to slow servers (is a blocker!) - what is next? No firmware update because of to few servers?
What to hell Nokia - wake up guys... N900 was placed into the mass market not into a small community. Times did change with this device.

UPDATE: I did disable the "extra-devel" catalog, made an update of the remaining catalogs, enabled the "extra-devel" catalog again - and it worked.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

As of this weekend, some repositories are down. People are aware of it and working hard to restore them. Anyone know of any alternative repositories to the extra-devel and such?

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

Just wait 1 more day, it will be up again.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

What's with extras-devel? I haven't been able to access it for days. Is it just me?

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

hey guys,
i have the same problem with the extra-devel, but am not told anything about the Hash thing, am getting a deferent msg in RED under the catalogue says: ((http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/fremantle-1.2/free/binary-armel/packages 404 Not Found [IP:213.248.125.88.80] ))

usefull to say that all this happened after i updated my n900 to the new PR 1.2 that is been released recently by nokia...

i don't know if it's because of it, but all i know is that i can't access extras-devel some of my favorite progs. where removed ofcourse because of the update, i retained some of them but not all.

please advise if anyone have knowledge in this.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

Mahmoud... I see the exact same issue. I'm looking for a solution in the forums now...

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

yes same problem here too

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

For me
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
works

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
doesn't.

My exact settings are:

Name: Maemo Extras-devel
Web Address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution: Fremantle
(1 e)
Components: free non-free

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

just replace Distribution: (empty) with Distribution: Fremantle

and its should work

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

wow, althoug am not happy this happens, but happy to know am not alone, i sea the full side of the glass because this means there is something either by the new update or the repository itselfany

expertssssssssssssssss
pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
wake up...

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

I think that correct for firmware 1.0-1.1.1. For 1.2 need but it repository in down :(

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

It is as Bluewizard says:

Name: Maemo Extras-devel
Web Address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

Im not sure if its case-sensitive, but I wouldnt be surprised, asi this is Linux ... (so, use fremantle instead of Fremantle). On the other hand, Im sure distro is fremantle, not fremantle-1.2 ...

EDIT: Yeah, after some thinking :D Im sure its case-sensitive, as its supposed to be a web adress pointing at files on a server after all ...

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

very strange

guys after i did all what you said up here it seems like it was working, but the progress bar won't start ans staied empty for about 15 mins, then i stopped it and restart my device, ever since the device is restarting frequintly, when it starts it shows the Nokia word and vibrate and in 5 seconds it restarts againa and again.....

help me pleeeeeeeeease, i feel am n deep ****, what shall i do now...

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

breaking news oin the situation:

it just wrote in Green above Nokia Word

" Malfunction !
Device will shut down in 10s "

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

is anybody awaaaaaaaaaaaaaake ???

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

Both extras-devel and extras-testing only have distribution: fremantle

Only Extras has a separate repository for fremantle-1.2

-devel and -testing run against the latest firmware always.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

Take two aspirins and call us in the morning.

What michalurban said is correct; that's what the repository should say.

If that doesn't work, the repository could be being maintained,it's not necessarily insufficient server capacity.

No need to get hysterical, just wait.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

yeh OK
anything or my restartyign problem, it's stil on for god Sake.

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900

Mayba this can help you ... or search the forum, there are many cases of n900 in restart loop. Good luck!

Re: Extra-Devel Config for N900
 

hey,
i took it to the Nokia ddestributer here, they just re-install the frameware, but the old one, but wait the phone didn't recognize the sim card, so i just installed the new update, and guess what, it's live again.

i'm just saying my experience may be someone can get use of it if the same happened to them.

by the way. Extra sevel. still down, it's still giving the same msg i mentioned previously, any update from any of you, any solution....!!
