That last one is entirely unhelpful .. it provides no details or information. The first one, half the people in the thread magically "fixed".

That middle one is actually a good thread. They are on to something at the end regarding installing and then uninstalling an app.

NDI - Did you flash 1.1 or OTA update?

ETA: The OP of the second thread posted in the first thread as now "fixed". SO whatever this problem is, it isn't consistent and seems more related to the repositories than App Manager itself.. although I'm not sure how or why.

I don't have those problems because I have a different setup.

I have the beast on the internet with NIC1 and it does PPPoE to the internet, also 10.* IP in the city WAN. The second card, NIC2, is set up using Windows' ICS (basically NAT). This internal LAN serves me (gateway), my secondary PC(and NAS) and the printer along with a WRouter. The WRouter is assigned an 192.168.137.* IP and gets out through me.

As a result, my beast is the only one responsible for Internet activity, as for the phone, it queries the router and the router asks me. I reply all requests from cache or make the query myself outside.

That's why my DNS command from the CLI cached repositories and all other devices have the local IP to use.

When not cached, my PC tries to resolve repositories on its own and fails several times (usually) before they finally resolve and it all works. Why DNS fails so often I can't tell.

I'm considering adding them to etc\hosts. That should cut a lot of problems until I have to manually do this again.

As for egoshin's issue, I have little clue, or supposition why someone would choose to hide the update to wifi info. That makes NO sense. I would understand fmtx or similar, but some of those apps have nothing to show for themselves.

It must be a bug. I hate to suggest this, but could this be a fs issue? Maybe a bad flash or a busted up cluster that messed up a file? You could end up with a reflash and fresh install of all apps. I imagine that would fix everything. But it's my device :P

Edit: OTA for me both 1.01 and 1.1 because I'm on W7x64 and I didn't want to risk incompatibility. Save for the inability to play MPEG1 files (I'm sure it's silly, some library got left behind) no issues here.

Oh, and the standard stuff is known to not work, like xvid in osso-player.

At least the first problem was caused by corrupted Release file in repositories. It should be fixed by now, but since Akamai caching seems to cause problems every now and then it's possible that the server serving you isn't up to date.

What do these files look like when you open them with web browser?

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...mantle/Release
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t...mantle/Release
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...mantle/Release

They should look something like this:

Architectures: armel i386 all
Components: free non-free
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:53:11 UTC
Label: Extras
Origin: maemo
Suite: fremantle
Version: 2.0
MD5Sum:

3ad59e5df9489cd5a6b6c36786d404bb 81 free/binary-all/Release

I agree fully that these specific apps he's asking about should not be hidden.. but I do not think they are being hidden by design.. there is a problem somewhere needs addressing. Whether a bug in the firmware or a problem in the network or repo's.

However, I do not agree that ALL hiding of apps should be removed. I seem to be having the same philosophical discussion in several threads right now.. this is rather.. redundant.

First one was clearly caused by this https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8286

Other ones look the same too, but the repositories should be fixed by now.

Well.. at least I know my troubleshooting skills aren't failing me.

And his information appears to be missing certain key signatures.

ETA: Most notably,
