I'm having some problems with my N810 after upgrading to Feature Upgrade 36-5.

First, my Hildon input bar is gone. I can't press Fn then press a key, now I have to hold the Fn then press a key. Previously I had this problem with scim installed, and uninstalling that fixed it. However this time that isn't it, since it's not installed. Despite that, my onscreen keyboard and thumbboard still works.

Also, in Update Manager, it keeps on saying that the OS2008 Feature Upgrade 36-5 is "available" but when I try to install it, it always fail. In the details section it does indicate my feature version level is already updated, but it won't go away. I tried gainrooting and run apt-get install -f, it says that pre-installed-documentation-rx44 is failing to install, and can't complete osso-software-version-rx44 (which I presume is the Feature Upgrade.)

Has anybody had this issue or know how to fix this? Thanks.

you should tell the exact error message from apt-

Have you modified home directrory structure somehow? Do you have MyDocs/.documents directory?

/home/users/MyDocs/.documents yes, but not the /usr/share/..... folder that it's looking for.

I'll try an ln and see if it works

EDIT: Nope, didn't fix it.

You are lucky you don't ended in a reboot loop.
As root, create by hand the /usr/share/... directory and put some file there
mkdir -p /usr/share/pre-installed/MyDocs/.documents/
echo "..." > /usr/share/pre-installed/MyDocs/.documents/test.txt

And have a look at this post first

OK, I fixed it. Turns out what happened is that it's not missing files, but additional files for some reason in the ~(something) folder. I created a symlink to my internal memory for Maemo Mapper to store files directly on my internal memory card, and it tried to perform a chmod on the symlink, which failed. Removing that link, worked.

But I don't understand, how come my .documents files would end up in that folder?

Yes, symlinks were one of my problems when updating, too.
I hope this won't happen again.

It is not your .documents what is there, it is a preinstalled folder.

That was my question, my .documents files that weren't preinstalled got moved into the ~ folder during the process.
