Hi guys, i'm new to all this & just learned to use that install **** with xterminal

Now i wanted to install that USSD widget and i found this indian guy on youtube explaining it

I downloaded the same files as him and did the exact same thing, but whatever one of those files that i want to install. it says that it fails cause of an independency problem, that led me to this forum.. I found couple of those files here, but everyone of them is independent of another, and by now i have like installed maybe 50 files or so.. they're all independent :s
i really don't know what to do
i can't get python 2.5 on it... & i need that & a lot other things for that USSD widget...

Can anyone help me with this ? How come the indian guy did not said anything about all that python stuff ? :s

Maybe you should be using the application manger to install the application and let the packaging sort things out for you.

Discussion on this here.

i can't install it with that, only with xterminal, but when i do it that way that guy tells it it keeps talking about independencies... i hope i didn't screw anything up lol

i can't find any other way, only if someone can tell me step by step ? cuz if i download the ussd package, it doesn't work... :s

What is preventing you from installing the USSD widget with Application Manager?

Dependencies are packages and software the widget needs to work. Installing via the Application Manager or apt-get (instead of dpkg -i) will automatically download and install those for you.

There is a reason Maemo uses a package manager to install software.

Do you have "Maemo.org extras-testing" and "Maemo.org extras-devel" enable ?

Edit : Be careful with those eh ? http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=343619

Yeah, that's the point of using a program that handles dependencies to install stuff (apt-get or application manager)
