Greetings:

I have a Nokia N800 with firmware version 5.2008.43-7.

In my Application Manager the App list does not load.

In the Application Manager menu under Tools and under Application catalog, the repositories are all missing.

I haven't recieved an update to upgrade the firmware version.

Is there a new way of downloading Apps?

Or do I have to manually reinstall all the repositories one by one.
Anyone can help me with this problem?

Regards Robert

Exact same thing happened on my n810 in the last couple of days. Same firmware revision. /etc/apt/sources.list is an empty file, it turns out. Not sure how that happened but I've been fcking around with the machine a lot lately. I know the entries for extras and extras-devel but not sure what the default Nokia ones are.

Same here

Have not opened my N800 for a couple of weeks or so.

tried to check for installable apps in the apps manager- completely blank.

Checked the Catalogues - all say "failed to refresh"

Came on to Maemo expecting a message saying the repos were down????!!!

Just another occasion where the Tablet and the Opensource hacks me off.

My Canola Last.fm plugin has stopped working - although when I tried to access a "genre" - I obviously connected to something, because when I went into Last.fm from my PC - it showed that I had asked for "country" at some stage.

Lots of other niggles now and obviously we have moved on to Maemo 5 etc.

Spent to the last few days sailing with a guy who had an iPhone 3gs. even with all annoyance that Apple generate, such as lacking an open access to the bluetooth apps etc. I would have been embarrassed to show my N800. Apps on the iPhone were smooth with lots of eye-candy and easy navigation.

Looks like it is time to move on.

These two repos are not there.

When I try to enter them they don't seem to show up on the list.
Its as if the system does not want to save them.

If I do a restore do you think it will work.

Same here.
I've just re-flashed the device, and still repos don't work.

catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/dists/diablo/Release.gpg

catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified/dists/diablo/Release.gpg

catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/updates/diablo-2/./Release.gpg

repository.maemo.org/extras/dists/diablo/Release.gpg

Are these known to be down or something? Can anyone else reach them via N800 Application manager?

OS: Maemo OS2008 5.2008.43-7

WiFi acess fine (other web sites, rss, email all working normally)

Thanks

Is there someone from Nokia who can troubleshoot this problem.

I don't want to loose my N800.

I still enjoy using it from time to time.

With the new Maemo 5 when its available I'm sure my N800 will be more
useful.

If anyone can help us it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
The error I'm getting is:
Failed to refresh. Connection timed out.

As far as I can tell /etc/apt/sources.list is supposed to be empty on Chinook/Maemo. Application Manager -managed list can be found at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list.

Personally I don't like Application Manager; it hides too many details behind its fancy UI. If you really want to see what's happening, run "apt-get update" as root on command line and post the output here.
