[Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

What's this garbage about not being able to install Firefox 1.1 RC if I installed 1.0 from the Ovi store. This makes me furious. Someone make this make sense. It is my phone--who or what is stopping me and why???!!!

Re: Ovi store controls my N900?
 

Just uninstall the Ovi Store version and install 1.1. And 1.1 has been out for a while

Re: Ovi store controls my N900?
 

I already tried that, thus this post.

I quote from http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/20...aemo-1-1-rc-1/:

Note to Ovi Store Customers: If you installed Firefox 1.0.x from the Ovi Store, you will not be able to upgrade to Firefox 1.1 RC 1 (either from the N900 Application Manager or by downloading the software from Mozilla). We are working to solve this for future releases so that anyone can participate in our Beta programs.

I removed 1.0 and then went to the Mozilla site and clicked the link for 1.1. But it installed 1.0 again.

Re: Ovi store controls my N900?
 

Do you have any Mozilla repos?

Better still, have you tried the nightly builds?

Re: Ovi store controls my N900?
 

No nightly builds. Only the regular install via Ovi. I will remove the repo and try again.

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

i have the same problem, i have the correct repos and even went as far my other repos but 1.0.1 is the version that installs each time... bummer, i hope they fix this soon!

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

Deleted Firefox again, removed the Mozilla catalog and still when I tried to install 1.1 I got 1.0 instead.
Infuriating.

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

Just use the nightly builds if you can't wait. The nightly builds are on 2.0 anyway

They said, you can only get 1.1 when it is final.

Or,

you could install 1.0.1 from the mozilla website. Then upgrade it

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

This seems to indicate that the Ovi store is in some way blocking me from installing. Really seems wrong if this is the case. Anyone with more information?

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

The following works for me:

1. uninstall Fennec 1.0.x
2. disable ovi program cataloge
3. disable or remove mozilla catalog, NOT "Mozilla multi Beta Catalog"
4. run as root "apt-get clean all"
5. run as root "apt-get update"
6. run as root "apt-get install fennec" - the programmmanager didn't find it
7. after the installation you can enable the ovi cataloge again

So, this works for me. I also deletet /home/user/.mozilla because i've got some problems with old settings.

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

The upgrade for the Ovi Store version is not out. You can't update the Ovi Store version (final) with a beta. The ovi store version can only be updated to 1.1 final.

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

You are stating what is already known.
This does not explain why I can't remove the program and catalog and still not be able to then install 1.1 RC.

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

because your settings from the ovi store download are still there. see the post before my last

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

I've experience the same conflict! Is their another way to bypass and install the new Firefox?

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

The instructions (most of them) in the post by elektr00n worked for me. The apt-get stuff would not work, but I was able to install anyway. Install rootsh first.

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

And see your first post. Why chime in if you don't know what you're talking about?

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

well that's what i did and it worked for me.

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

I see. Well..., I'm a novice so if you can tell me how to use "Rootsh" to input those commands like "Elektr00n" sugguested than will be in business! Thanks!

Re: [Maemo 5] Firefox 1.1 RC installation problem (was: Ovi store controls my N900?)
 

Okay, here is a step-by-step how to:

1. go to programmanager, install rootsh and uninstall firfox/fennec
2. in programmanager go to cataloge and disable the "Ovi" and the "Mozilla multi Catalog" if existent
3. if you did not have the "Mozilla multi Beta Catalog" visit http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/beta
   Maybe the install works, if not go on
4. close the programmanger elsewise the apt-get commands won't work
5. open an xterm
6. enter command: sudo gainroot
7. enter command: apt-get clean all
8. enter command: apt-get update
9. enter command: apt-get install fennec (you can also try to install via programmanger)
10. now you can safly enable the ovi catalog again in programmanger

Thanks guys! With your help I got it working!

Wow, that's all a bit hectic. For any who would enjoy a somewhat more simple root (haha.. yeah it's not really funny) you can download a debian package here
