Re: Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

you´re not alone, i have the same exact problem :(

They worked like charme, then there was an automatic update ...and know, the Plugins work anymore.

Re: Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

I also have exact same problem - started shortly after upgrading to PR1.2

Hopefully some skilled person can advise.

Good to know I'm not the only with this issue.

Re: Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

For this instruction
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=653761&postcount=4
you need to have root access to your device:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access
Then you can edit the file:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst
In this file is a line:
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
and you have to put a # at the beginning of this line:
#/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
Now you should now be able to update this package.

Or contact the maintainer of this package and ask for help.

Re: Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

Does this fix the problem, or just hide it ? It would be good to get the updates installed.

**UPDATE: I commented out the line as instructed and have successfully updated (only 1 of the 2 appeared, along with a few newer updates for unrelated apps) . Now 'No updates available' :O) I have re-edited the file to remove the comment - and all seem fine. Thanks!

Thanks for the instructions, I will give it a go and report back.

EDIT: I put the line below in X Terminal and "file not found".

@nicolai
Thanks for the write up, it worked for me to install the update. Now that it's updated should I remove the comment again or is there another fix for this now in place?

Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

1) You need to be root
2) You need to edit the file, not just type in the name of the file

So open an X Terminal, then type:


But BEFORE you do that, find yourself a good tutorial on the basics of using the vi editor!

Re: Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

Oh ok, but instead of me finding a tutorial why don't you just type here exactly what you did so I can do it and call it a day.

Re: Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

have you found a solution for this problem . I can't see to get it !!

After you do this :

Code:
sudo gainroot
vi /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst

and then .....
