Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Error message is "Unable to update list. Last refreshed list is shown." I can't get to command line because my Extras are gone including Xterm. Please help.
Thanks:confused:

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

what is the error message in Tools - Log ?

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

First line in log:
osso-application-installer 4.46, UI version 2

There are many lines in the log as follows, but I was was limited to 10000 in my reply so I deleted all the other lines. I sure hope you can help me.

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com bora/user Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com_certified_dists_bora _user_binary-armel_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

Last line in log:
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

sorry.. I don't know what that error means. :(

have you tried disabling all the application catalogs and enabling them one by one?
If none of them work then there is a problem with your device or the connection.

Here is some info that maybe an answer to your problem. http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...96&postcount=4

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

I had an error like that a while ago. I just disabled all the repos and re-enabled them one by one.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

I can't install xterm.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Have you tried what Tabster and treasonx suggested?

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Yes. Still won't refresh. Do I have to send it back to Nokia? If so, I can't remember everything I installed after I flashed to 3.2007.10-7. Is there a convenient place to grab these repos when I get the device back from Nokia?

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

This should be a software problem so re flashing will certainly fix it. However, I would go into Application manager and go into each repository definition and disable each one Via the check box, and then work from there to determine which one is not working. The last or near last line in the log should show which repository address cannot be reached.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Just for grins see if you can install Xterm http://test.maemo.org/downloads/syst...uct_dba_page=3
it should be 1/2 way down the page. If you can then follow the link I posted earlier. If you can not install Xterm what about re-flashing your N800?

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

I did that.
The last line of the log says:
W: Couldn't start source package list http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Sorry. Tried but no grin. Still won't refresh list.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

So did you disable that one? What about re-flash?

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

The only one that's enabled is "Nokia Catalogue" and it can't be disabled.
As to reflashing, I did the upgrade again this morning which didn't change anything.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Man that is strange. :confused: Did you do a backup before the re-flash and then used that backup? If so what about re-flash without a backup?

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Yes. I did restore my backup. Do you think re-upgrading and not restoring would make the difference?

And I have to make a confession. I did this some time ago:
http://www.informit.com/guides/conte...9&ns=9905&rl=1
Then a couple of days ago, I did the regular upgrade (can't remember why). Maybe that caused my problem. I don't even think I'll ever use the R&D mode and wish I could get rid of it, but that's not possible if I can't use Xterm.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

I would give it a try before sending it back. I heard it can take till the next big flood before Nokia will send it back (read some of the post on this).

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Please read my edit, above.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

Like I said if it was me I would re-flash and start fresh (no backup). I don't know what setting or conf you have change so a fresh start is what I would do. Yes you could say I am using a hammer to crack a nut by not using a backup.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

I had the same issue as the op.
Then went to check the log (Tools->Log...)
clear the log.
do a refresh catalog again.
Got the unable to update list message.
then go to the log again.
saw some W... and E...
The lines that start with W are just Warnings.
You need to take care the ones that start with E (Errors).
What I did was to disable the catalog that created the error.
refresh catalog again...
You should not get the 'unable to update..' message anymore
Enable the catalog that you just disabled.
Try refreshing the catalog again...
And hopefully you won't get the 'unable to update..' message anymore.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

I think his problem is the default Nokia repo which he cannot disable.

Re: Can't update Application Catalogue
 

His problem was fixed by doing a re-flash without a back-up.
