Hi,

I'm a new 770 user. I tried to install Xterm using these instructions:

http://770.fs-security.com/xterm/

I added the Application catalogue (http://repository.maemo.org/). However, now whenever I choose 'Tools ---> Application catalouge' or 'Tools --> Refresh list of packages' I get the error 'Operation failed'.

I may have typed in the Repository wrong - but of course I can't change it now due to above error!

I also tried downloading and installing the 3 packages, using 'Package -> Install from file' but got the same 'Operation failed' error.

So, any tips or is it a case of a hard reset and setting up the whole thing from scratch?

Thanks,

David

You might have had better luck using the directions from the Maemo Wiki

You should be able to edit the offending entry using Tools - Application Catalog

If not, I think you'll need to "Become root" The old fashioned way with the Flasher,
Download and install the 3 deb files from here in that order,
Still as root, you'll need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to delete the offending line.

Then again, If you're a new user and haven't installed many apps, just re-flash the OS and start over.
