Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Why is fapman looking for an internet connection when uninstalling a package?

The package I was uninstalling seems to have uninstalled correctly anyway.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Good question. But it's not fapman's behaviour as far as I can see, it's the underlying dpkg who does. It also happens when uninstalling a packet via commandline and I cannot see any reason for that.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

The Packages file is corrupt - I've no idea how this happens, but it seems to crop up occasionally. I'd suggest deleting the file (rm /opt/fapman-cache/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle_free_binary-armel_Packages) and re-running the update.

I have said this earlier but something fishy is going on with rotate functionality. Sometimes when I start app it starts in portrait and stays in portrait even n900 is in landscape. All other apps are in landscape when I minimize it. Have to do rotate thing again or open keyboard to put it in landscape.

sorry guys. wrong thread:o

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

is it possible to have the date field shown directly in the package lists? it would make for a great "what's new since last time i checked" browsing.

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Try rearranging a list "by date". It's not the same but i think will do the trick:P

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

well yes thats exactly what im doing, but it is impossible to accurately know whats new that way. i mean how do you keep version numbers of 1000 applications in your head. i thought thats what computers were for :->. if you could know the timestamp of the newest package that you looked at today then a few weeks later you have a roundabout idea how much back it makes sense to go.

Another way to do that is go to

www.my-maemo.com/

and click on Software Catalog.

It lists the latest software.
