apps don't run!!!
 

I know I'm gonna get blasted out of this world and everyone will say go read this and that thread, but believe me I have and haven't found the solution so if you know what to do please help;

the problem started with I stopped getting SMS notifications after PR1.3; the message would just open and not notify me.

I looked through, cleaned up and fiddled with my packages in Xterm (which BTW along with getting rid of Catorise boasted my battery from 7ish hours normal use up to 2 days)

but it seems I've cerated another while the SMS thing still exists!
most of the apps I open, open a black blanc page struggle a bit and then shut down so basically don't work

it seems
libgsf-1 is not configured yet
librsvg2-2 is dependent on libgsf-1
liboffice-0-8 I have no clue??

and also
user/bin/dpkg returns error code (1)

which I think might be the problem behind things (just guessing)

any magical ideas?

maybe this helps you for libgsf

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

yeah I was just looking at that,
it solved that error but the apps not opening still exists and I have no clue where that comes from

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

maybe you played with system file?

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

I doubt so
I am so much trying to avoid a reflash

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

Have you installed any apps recently from extras testing or extras devel? If so, delete the last one(s) and see if that helped.

Also, have you backed up your phone recently? If not too much is lost in this process, it can be worth a try.

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

No I keep track of the apps I install, although I have many from testing and developing but none are recent
the problem with flash is all the PCs and laptops I have at hand are Win 7 so I'm kind of dry!

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

flashing works fine on Win 7 32-bit. I would def recommend reflashing the rootfs at this point. As long as you do a full backup, reflashing is not a big deal at all.

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

yeah I'm quite use to flashing but now I've only got Win 7 64-bit machines

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

ok here's the new story!
I have NOTHING installed on my device, I un-installed and purged everything!
When I get an SMS there is no sound, just a system sound of opening an app, that swish sound, and it opens the SMS itself.
Is there any diagnostic code to run to see what's borken?!
oh please do help =_(

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

did you know that devel (and also testing ones could too) apps can cause problems at any time between install and reflashing the device?

please read:

there are 5 options for getting around flashing problems with win 7. replacing drivers, aka option 5, would be my suggestion for the first thing to try.

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

you can either use n+10 hours for troubleshooting or try my suggestion above and get your device reflashed (hopefully) within a hour...

Re: apps don't run!!!
 

am giving it a try to see how it goes

all hail the all knowing ossipena, all hail
