Hello, this is my first post on these forums as I have just recently received a N810 as a Christmas present.

I'm trying to install Canola2 on my Nokia N810 and I keep receiving the following error message :

I don't know how to resolve this. For the record I have the Nokia N810 (non wimax one), the version of Canola2 I'm trying to install is : 2.0.0~beta9-maemo3, my operating system is : OS2008 ver 1.2007.42-19.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hmmm ... looks wierd but seems it's in bora repo.

add this to your catalogue:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ bora free non-free


alternatively you can use the index to manually install dependencies.

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...armel/Packages

and here is an example how to manually download a the py-terra deb (in case you need to):

i had the same problem. you need to enable red pill mode. search for red pill mode and follow the instructions. after installation go back to blue pill mode

I got the following error message :


How do manually install the dependencies? I click on the above link and it's lines of code.

I get an error message saying
I even tried the red pill/blue pill mode switching that sachin007 suggested and then tried to install Canola2 again, but I got the exact same error message as in my first post on this thread.

See what I mean when I say I'm having serious install issues with this? Thanks for both your help though. I'm at a loss.

I also had trouble installing Canola 2 on my N800.
Got the same missing packages error message.

Disabled the Maemo Extras Catalogue in the Applications Manager.
Rebooted, went back in, and renabled the Maemo Extras Catalogue.
Did a list update and was then able to install Canola 2.

Don't ask. Don't get it either.
My problem now?
Canola 2 won't see the music tracks (mp3s) on my SDHC cards.
I can browse to them via Canola, but it just won't detect the mp3s, despite my doing all the standard configuration settings correctly.
I do like Canola.

Hope this helps.

I'm going to check the updates again.

Thanks for the info Thunderstorm. Tried it like you said but the same error message appears.

BUT..............

I finally did get it to install. I was googling around to find more repositories for the Nokia N810 (since I couldn't get the link that iancumihai provided to work).

I came to this thread on this very forum :
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=14402

I downloaded the 7th catalog named :
Tried to install Canola2 again. This time the program was listed as Canola2 2.0.0 beta 10 (not beta 9 like i previously had listed). And it installed flawlessly!

Hope this helps anyone else having a problem with the installation.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help.

We are supposed to remove beta10 and install beta9 maemo3. Refer to the following sticky link


"It was a tough decision to draw back all the features we have implemented, and start again, but the beta10 showed a lot of really serious issues that the people involved were not able to solve in a good way that we used to have on Canola Team."

I'm too being having the issues with the missing packages when I tried to upgrade form maemo1 to maemo3. I've tried eveything to get them installed with no luck and have given up for now.

zopzop | # 8 | 2009-01-04, 10:27 | Report

Yeah you are correct. I uninstalled beta10 and tried installing beta9 again with no luck. BUT...........

One of the Canola2 devs suggested (in a thread on this very forum) to try updating/flashing the firmware. Well I tried it and it worked! I was able to install beta9 no error messages or anything.

I was thinking i just need to udpate to diablo instead of sticking with chinook to install it. Thanks for the info.

astrogirl | # 10 | 2009-01-21, 00:04 | Report

hey! new n810 owner. canola2 is one of the first apps i've been trying to install, (was getting the same missing packages as other folk)

i just tried adding the maemo extras-devel package, and it installed fine, but shows up in the application manager as beta 10.

is this bad? should i not use this version?

thanks!
