Can't install 2 plugins that I already had.
 

The 2 plugins are "extra protocol plugins for conversations and contacts" and "people nearby plugin for conversations and contacts".

Anyone know the issue with these two? I even reflashed back to default and same issue.

Thanks!

Anyone? What do you guys do if you can't install something?

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

After I do the commands im X Terminal "apt-get clean and apt-get autoremove". This is what I get...

What does all this mean and it says "2 are fully not installed or remove". How do I check which ones?

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

This looks bad. Maybe you should try to fix your avahi daemon first. I'd try this:

direx,

Thanks for the reply. I did what you wrote and this is what I got.

Now what?

nicoai,

Thanks for the reply, but what does he mean by "Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst and comment out"?

I put the commands in...

This is what I got below and whatever should happen did happen. I'm new to all this and I need someone to explain fully.

Thanks

Anyone else know anything?

Retire, relax, enjoy your family. It is just a phone. Not worth it.

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

PradaBrada,

If it's just a phone ...why are you on this site? No need to be a member. Just run it the way it is out the box. I'm sure you didn't and added stuff through this site.

If anyone has a solution please post. Thank you!

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.

regards nicolai

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".

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

@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

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 .....

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

Use the 'vi' editor to comment out the command line:
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start

by adding a # at the beginning of the line so it becomes:
#/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start

This command is then ignored allowing the updates to happen :)

After updating I removed the # and have had no problems.

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

I just ssh'ed into /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst and opened it with notepad, added the #, save and overwrite. seems to work fine so far

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

I've had the same problem but could finally solve it:

these are some reply from before:

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

and then .....


Use the 'vi' editor to comment out the command line:
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start

by adding a # at the beginning of the line so it becomes:
#/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start

************************************************** *******************************
In order to use properly the vi command line goes as follows;

once inside the account-plugin-salut.postinst
press i (just the letter i in which activated the Insert function)
then, add the # like mentioned before
(# /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start)
press the "ESC" button of the xterminal to leave insert function
now write
:wq
(which means w - write (save), q - quit the editing mode)

Now do what ever you wanted to do...
This command is then ignored allowing the updates to happen
