nokia.com repositories are down
 

Hi,

I wanted to reinstall angry birds so I went to the ovistore and click download, it's supposed to be downloaded from the nokia ovi repository (enabled in the applications manager).

But It seems nokia.com repositories are down.

I checked on the forum, I didn't found any solutions.

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

Something may be down, but I upgraded internetradioplayer about 30 seconds ago.

I would wait. That is often the best fix.

Err https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Packages
Could not resolve host: downloads.maemo.nokia.com (Could not contact DNS servers)

This is what I get with an apt-get update.
I think it's down since few weeks :-/

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

Where are you? We have seen some regions unable to reach the repositories from time to time.

I have been successfully running apt-get update and upgrade multiple times daily every day for weeks.

I'm in france.
I think those downloads addresses are the defaults.

Nokia-N900:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/002 ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/ ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free

Do you have different addresses for the nokia repositories?

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

Check your catalogs in Application Manager, the settings should be :

Name : Nokia Applications
web address : https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/
Distribution : ./

Name : Nokia System Software Updates
web address : https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0
Distribution : ./

Name : Ovi
web address : https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/
Distribution : ./

**All Components fields are empty.

That should get you going.

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

I got the same ones, except for the System updates.

There are no more updates from them anyway, so in any case, this repo is useless.

Bonjour chez toi!

Here is a useful link:

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

Still the same issues :-/

Re: nokia.com repositories are down

Still the same issue :-/

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

Weird, it works well when I'm using my GSM internet but DNS problems with WiFi :-/

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

Every one of those links referencing downloads.maemo.nokia.com result in permissions denied (403) errors (just click 'em and see for yourself). It appears Nokia has gone beyond simply ignoring N900 owners and is now outwardly cutting off support for devices that are still under warranty! (mine is only a few months old!)

Has anyone got a mirror?
I was considering a reflash, but without the SSU repositories, I'd never be able to bring it up to even a basic stable state. :(

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

That's ridiculous.
The 403 error is just nokia preventing people from directly viewing a directory listing of the files.

OP, if it's complaining about DNS, then it's more than likely due to your ISP. As you say Wifi works, but GSM doesn't (they maybe trying to reduce how much you're downloading from the one site, by stopping you from reaching the repos.).

Try using OpenDNS.
Settings>Internet Connections>Advanced>IP>Untick DNS and set it to:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

That's a relief.
Odd though... that's the only repo I've seen that forbids listing directories. Any guess as to why they'd do that?

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

Probably to prevent people from directly posting links to the files to download them.

Re: nokia.com repositories are down
 

...but the packages are free, and it's not like they're useful on another device. I fail to see the point.

Now in the ovi repository (where the paid apps are), I can understand it.
