$5 is cheaper than what I paid for Ngage games for my N82, count me in!:D

Oh, sorry, installing from ovi doesn't work this way anymore. The guys at Nokia seem to have crippled apt a bit.

Create a "earthcomber.install" file and open it with the file manager.

Code:

[install]

catalogues = nokia-ovi-store

package   = earthcomber 



[nokia-ovi-store]

id = ovi

file=variant-catalogues

This should launch the package manager and install Earthcomber.

A more convenient approach:

Save the following script to file "oviinstall.sh"

Code:

#! /bin/sh



INSTALL_FILE=/tmp/application.install

PACKAGE_LIST=/var/lib/apt/lists/downloads.maemo.nokia.com_fremantle1.2_ovi_._Packages  

PACKAGE=$1





echo "[install]"                         >${INSTALL_FILE}

echo "catalogues = nokia-ovi-store"     >>${INSTALL_FILE}

echo "package = ${PACKAGE}"             >>${INSTALL_FILE}

echo ""                                      >>${INSTALL_FILE} 



echo "[nokia-ovi-store]"                >>${INSTALL_FILE}

echo "id = ovi"                         >>${INSTALL_FILE}

echo "file = variant-catalogues"        >>${INSTALL_FILE}





dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest='com.nokia.hildon_application_manager' /com/nokia/hildon_application_manager  com.nokia.hildon_application_manager.mime_open string:"${INSTALL_FILE}"

Execute it:

Code:

sh oviinstall.sh earthcomber

That will (hopefully) launch the package manager and install the package.

To list all avaliable (free) pacakges in the OVI repository type:

Code:

grep "Package: " /var/lib/apt/lists/downloads.maemo.nokia.com_fremantle1.2_ovi_._Packages

Unless Zeus has gotten into the boutique software business, you're going to be very disappointed.

Re: Ovi Store Update

it's down even in pc form (at least for me), so it might not even be n900 related. but well, let's hope :)

Re: Ovi Store Update

Ovi store is up again. Apparently there are no changes but i may be wrong. :confused:
