Ok, so maybe my provider has a bad proxy, but why is it that I can surf the web fine and install apps from the maemo.org repo; and why is it that I can't access any apps through WiFi at all...?

I didn't do it but I follow an advice from some post above - disable all repos, exit, then enable it and do "refresh". It definitely reads from network around 1min and... the same state - I have repositories, but no updates, and no such stuff like 3g2g-switcher*

I tried the above with the same result: no updates and no apps, can't even access any apps over WiFi still.

I'm actually really pissed off. This expensive phone can't even install any applications. And if it's my internet's fault, what can I do to fix it?

So yours won't update over 3G *or* wifi?

Can I get a copy/paste of:

Code:

apt-get update
from a terminal on both?

It will update the "Maemo.org" repository over 3G only. It won't update the other three repos as it gives a Proxy CONNECT abort error or something, and over WiFi it doesn't even get past the "Updating..." bit and just displays "No apps available".

with the apt-get, it just says "could not open lock file...." etc

OK, I did "apt-get update".

It seems that it completed it's task, at least for extras-devel - it says:

Done.
W: GPG error: http://repository.maemo.org fremantle Release: The following signature were invalid: BADSIG E40...BD maemo.org Extras repositories (Fremantle Extras) <repositories@maemo.org>
W: You may want to run aot-get update to correct these problems

And files /var/lib/apt/lists/repository* do exist again and there is 'packageview' in one of them (extras-devel) with NEW version.


But Application manager still insists - "(no updates)", and doesn't show 3g2g-switcher*.


So, anything is OK, repository files are OK, but Application Manager doesn't want to accept because "Ignoring version from wrong domain". It is seemed as a deliberate behavior now.

could not open lock file is because you are not root.. explained a few pages back I think.

You say on 3G it updates the Maemo.org repository. I *think* that is where rootsh is.. can you do a search for me and see if it's installable?

Also, try over a period and do it several times. I've found that repositories have an odd way of simply not working several minutes.

I always get the same issue: Could not resolve repositories,maemo.org. If after a failed update one clicks the Details and selects a repository, after a second the error is added in red at the bottom.

So I just madly click until I get no error.

And yes, Stop does nothing, it used to, but no longer.

Hey, an adjacent thread pops up with the same issue - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...596#post481596

That is not my only but widespread problem -

Also make sure you exited the AM, it locks repos while running.
