Application Manager - Refresh Problem

Hi, since installing the latest update I'm having a problem with the application manager program. Everytime I try and refresh the list I get the message 'Unable to refresh list. Last refreshed list is shown'.

The last refreshed list is dated 19/04/07. Anyone else with this problem? Any ideas how to resolve. I have re-installed the update but get the same issue.

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

Anyone help with this?

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

There is a problem with one of your repository, to check which one :
[you will need the osso-xterm and becomeroot or godmode package]
- run xterm
- be root (sudo gainroot)
- refresh the repository list (apt-get update)
=> just read the error and correct the repository with problems

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

No need for xterm. Just check the logs of the app manager under "Tools".

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

Did you check the log? (Menu, Tools, Log)

Ton.

I didn't know this simple solution :D

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

The last info in the log is at the bottom. Feel free to clear it (there's an option for that) before you try another update, after that you'll only see relevant entries. Then go ahead and disable (no need to remove, unless it's a wrong or obsolete repository) the offending repositories from the catalogue, then retry. Sometimes a repo is only temporarily available (those 3party repos), so now and then you can re-enable one such and retry.

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

Excellent, this has worked, list has now refreshed! Thanks for your help

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

I'm looking to xterm, but not found complete... Where I can get it? I found one but not complete.
Can help me? I need resolve my problem... I checked the log and was not enough for resolve my problem.
Is true the 770 have more constant problems that the 800?
thanks

and you'll also probably want:

becomeroot

A faster way to get root access on Nokia 770 (without R&D mode). As long as you keep installed this packages, you can become a root (in xterm session):

$ sudo gainroot
WARNING: This packages could brick the device (by touching /usr/sbin/gainroot file). DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

hi Stratta:
The 'automatic' install won't work on your 770; there is a link to their homepage with explanations.
Good luck!

osso-xterm ¶

This is a leetle hack agains the osso-xterm from http://770.fs-security.com/xterm/. It adds font and color selection support. Mistral version now includes also url opening support.
Development ¶

OssoXtermHacking contains some development ideas and user interface sketches.
maemo 1.1/it2005 ¶

Get your copy at http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma...m_0.12_arm.deb.

Note, this will _not_ work with the it2006 software version, see below for that one.

Source can be found at http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma...rm_0.12.tar.gz.
mistral/it2006 ¶

For it2006 you can grab your copy with the application installer: Launch up application manager (tools/application manager). From the menu, choose tools/application catalogue and press new button, then fill in the following:
Web address http://maemo-hackers.org/apt
Distribution mistral
Components main

Then close the catalogs dialog and press ok to refresh the list of packages. Now you are ready to install, choose install new applications from the main view and osso-xterm should appear under Applications. If you already have a version of osso-xterm installed, use "check for updates" instead.

Should you find a bug or find it lacking, create a ticket for component osso-xterm.
bora/it2007 ¶

Try the .install file.

If it does't work, you mostly follow the instructions from mistral/it2006, but use Distribution bora instead of mistral, i.e.:
Web address http://maemo-hackers.org/apt
Distribution bora
Components main

And osso-xterm should appear in install new applications.
no network install ¶

If you don't have available network for your 770, do the following: Get http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma..._5.5-1_all.deb http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma....5-1_armel.deb http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma...1-1mh9_all.deb http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma...1mh9_armel.deb http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma...0-4mh1_all.deb and http://maemo-hackers.org/apt/pool/ma...mh13_armel.deb and place them onto mmc card.

Then enable red-pill mode in application manager and install the packages with Package -> Install from file... in the same order as above.

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

Hi, I also have the "refreshing apllication" problem.

I deleted the last logs but still cant refresh or install any program. I am sure I am missing some important step, can someone give me a help?

thanks :confused:

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

what I did was, I disabled the catalogues that were showing to be the problem on the log. but there is still the nokia catalogue working badly, and I cant disable it.

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

Hey guys,

By anychance do you have DLink Wireless Routers?

The application refresh issue I had was due to my router. I had the same issue on my Nintendo Wii.

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

I hadn't used my n800 for about a month and a half before the last update and of course Im getting this error but it still refreshes what it can... Maybe Im just lazy but until I saw it was such a simple fix I was just going to leave it. Of course last time I went one by one until I found the bad one just to find out some of these are only bad half the time and they work other times. I dunno... why bother...

Hi Diogo:
I could not reply to your 'private message' as the system tells me that you have chosen not to receive private messages.

How did you fix this problem with the router?

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

how should the contents of the log file be interpreted?

for example,

osso-application-installer 4.22.1, UI version 1
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com mistral/user Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com_certified_dists_mist ral_user_binary-armel_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: GPG error: http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org ./ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 86E33E67AD9AE76A
E: Failed to fetch http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/rep...el/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://repository.maemo.org bora/free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_dists_bora_free_binary-armel_Packages)

above are some examples i have encountered. how should i solve the errors?
what does 'E:' or W:' mean?

is 'apt-get update' same as refreshing the list of packages?

TIA

Re: Application Manager - Refresh Problem

W => Warning (which can be ignored, non-fatal)
E => Error (fatal)

Your openbossa.indt.org repository is out of date.

And "yes" to your apt-get question.
