Sorry, I'm lost. I didn't have application manager open - well, not as far as I know. I've tried again - this time typing it in rather than cutting and pasting - and it won't go past 'sudo gainroot' as it asks to 'Enable RD mode if you want to break your device'? I must be doing something wrong?

This means that you'll have to install rootsh from the application manager first. This grants you "root access" to the device's operating system, which allows you to mess up with more sensitive parts of the system.

After you installed rootsh, quit the app manager and proceed as Greg said.

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

ahhh yeah - i think that means you may not have rootsh installed - http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh

It's my fault - i'm not being very clear.
To run the commands i said you need to be 'root' - translated that kinda means an administrator on your phone.

Rootsh is an application that allows you to easily get root access by typing 'sudo gainroot' (When you close terminal after doing things, it will stop that admin session. (just incase you wondered).

The reason why we are doing this in terminal, is because it provides a lot more feedback then the application manager :)

hehe, was taken in the pub in the pub in dorset/devon area! just a random N900 meetup in apri! will be arranging another one soon!

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

Ok, did all that and reinstalled, but no joy :( Still the same as before. I cocked it up when I came across the first Y/n option - amazing the stages that noobies need to know. Was I supposed to keep the readout from X-terminal? Sorry for taking so long, but Maemo won't let me log on on my phone now and I'm at the desktop - don't why that is as it always worked before? Maybe I'm just jinxed ...

It's not really a newbie thing as you are venturing into extras-devel - these are the stages us 'developers'(I use that loosely!) go through to make sure apps work for all by the time they get to extras! (So all testers and testing is very much appreciated).

Don't worry about re-gurgitating everything in terminal, i know it is a pain to get it out onto the forums :)

Still not sure if you have all the latest versions - but can keep trying, try this in terminal: (Reboot your phone first - just to clean it up and start fresh)

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get -f install

It will list any apps upgraded , installed, or removed, should fix any probs with pyqt.

then try

Code:

dpkg -l python2.5-qt4*

This would print of a larrrrrrge list! - please if you can, copy it in here!

Then after that i think we may just need to get you to re-install pyqt - will walk you through that later :)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

Well, I'm learning :) Going to try those things now - need time to get my head round it all and I'll post back. Thanks for the help.
And I couldn't even open the video - said something about format not being supported, but that's another day's work. I don't think I can afford to overclock my brain at my age (see, I've even picked up some jargon :D)

Re: [Annouce] HealthCheck - Hardware/System checker for the N900

Ok Hold on!

Good old frals is helping me very much on IRC trying to sort this :)

If the above doesnt work try the following

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get remove healthcheck && apt-get autoremove

apt-get install healthcheck

(Enter after each line)
Note from frals - "and make sure it says 1.2.1-3" !! hehe gd point! - need to check it is the right version that you are dloading!
