[SOLVED] ruined systeminfo install on N9
Seems I got trouble with a ruined systeminfo install on my N9.
Looks like it now inhibits other apps from installing. When trying to install systeminfo, I had this error: Code:
/home/user/MyDocs/Downloads # dpkg -i systeminfo_harmattan_0_322886.5.1.debCode:
~ # cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads-------------------------- SOLVED by reinstall Thanks for the help :) :) :) :) :) :) |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
You know those apps are free on ovi store right?
Anyways bablefish didn't translate that error message perfectly for me but I think if you try the following two lines before trying to install you should be ok. Code:
killall -q pkgmgrdAlso you may need to be root. |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
Thank you HanzBlix. Here's the outcome:
Code:
~ # killall -q pkgmgrd[BUT: in "Settings>Programs>manage programs" all programs are gone... Though in fact all apps are still there and working properly. This needs to be restored for further updates to come. - Solved, reboot did the trick...] And still error "aegis-loader: Failed loading policy..." Any idea what to do now? |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
I'm no aegis expert but I think you can ignore those policy warnings, you'll get used to seeing them during a lot of package installations over time, you're only getting that during installs right?
If the package installs and runs as expected there's no need to worry, That issue where the programs weren't showing I've never seen and I'm completely clueless about it, I probably wouldn't worry unless it shows it's ugly face again and starts to be a pain. Good old reboot eh, that's one ridiculously common fix for all things electronic. |

They're clearly related to systeminfo, must be some artefacts from that ruined install, which can be deletable? Quote:
Any advise is highly appreciated. And NO, not only installs via terminal are concerned, but also via Ovistore. Both works now, but I really want to get rid of this crap... Quote:
Waiting another day also seems to be a good opportunity in some cases... |

(I am the developer of SystemInfo)
I can't see any such problems on my device. Neither my old copy or a fresh install from Nokia Store showed these error messages you are seeing. Also, SystemInfo does not use any explicit aegis capabilities. Since I cant reproduce the problem myself, may I ask you to test two ideas for me? A: remove SystemInfo altogether B: using a pretty recent QtSDK, build your own .deb and upload to N9 in dev-mode (source code is found here https://projects.developer.nokia.com/SystemInfo ) Let me know if any of these solve your problem |

[A:] Please give full instruction with exact code [B:] I'm unable to build my own .deb, sorry. I'm no developer, so please advise properly for easy understanding. Thanks in advance! |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
please try this:
A: uninstall SystemInfo (settings -> applicatins -> manage applications -> system info -> uninstall ), restart your phone, run dpkg with something else and see if the error message is gone B: I have created two new binaries for you at https://projects.developer.nokia.com/SystemInfo/files. first install systeminfo_0.5.1_armel_A.deb, restart and see if the problem is gone. If that doesn't help, uninstall it and then install systeminfo_0.5.1_armel_B.deb from the same place and test again If none of these work, then I suspect your problem is due to some database corruption in the package installer and not really related to SystemInfo. |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
SystemInfo does not show up in (settings -> applicatins -> manage applications). Does that make any difference?
Should I try your B-solution? Thanks again. |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
That doesn't sound good... Very well, you could try to remove it from the command line:
dpkg --purge systeminfo |

Code:
~ # dpkg --purge syteminfo"Warning: the command to remove syteminfo will be ignored; it is not installed" :confused: |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
But systeminfo is still available on your machine (under /opt/systeminfo), right?

Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
OMG, how sheepish... Indeed a misspelling.
But the outcome with correct spelling is the same - ignored! When I type "/opt/systeminfo" (in /root) it shows Quote:

Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
Note that the binary is /opt/systeminfo/bin/systeminfo (/opt/systeminfo is the installation directory).
At this stage, you can do two things 1. this is probably a dpkg or ageis problem, learn to live with it :( 2. install systeminfo from the store, then remove it and hope that solves your problem |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
I tried 2. and install went fine this time.
And works properly too... :cool: Sooo... Can I keep it, please? ;) Nice app! Last thing - adding the screen-resolution under "screen info" would be really nice. Whatever the initial problem was, it was not systeminfos' fault, I'm shure. Should have tried earlier to simply reinstall. So sorry for my poor knowledge and thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it! ----------------- SOLVED :) :) :) |
Re: ruined systeminfo install on N9
Glad we could help :)
I will look into screen resolution next time I update systeminfo. /tubeman |
