any ideas this is for nokia 770

thanks

I'm having the same problem the same gregale repository.. getting message "could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" when I try to run the install from root. Tried last night and again today. Any help would really be appreciated.

Well it did finally work for me. I tired the next day and it worked. Wouldn't work one day but the next day it did.

Gah, so unfair Tried again.. I'm getting temporary failures resolving 'repository.maeo.org' and 'unable to fetch some arcives, maybe run aptget update or try with - - fix - missing'

This is getting annoying now

I feel your pain, took me forever to get the thing worked out and I don't know if i'll mess with it again after i update to 2007he I keep all my email online and google bookmarks so really its not HUGE loss to re flash again if need me but more of an annoyance.

If anyone has any advice, please throw it my way. It just will not find e2fsprogs.. I have tried oodles of repositories, but no joy. I'm not very good with these things, apparantly

*edit*

Hallelujah! It's working! Don't really understand why.. I switched on red pill mode, added the gregale distro, and installed it through app manager instead of via command prompt. Files are copying across as we speak

I am a Nokia 770 newbie myself and have spent a frustrating sunday trying to set it up to boot off the MMC. I had issues with ALL the installs and had to use the Red Pill (How bloody stupid is this red pill thing ?) method to install e2fsprogs. Unfortunately this did not work for : apt-get -d install tar which also gave me unable to find issues. When I tried the Red Pill method it informed me that there was a conflict with something else. Eventually what I did was THIS : In a browser I downloaded the offending file to the documents folder - that file being here : http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...osso_armel.deb
After that I moved the file to /tar-temp using this command :
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/tar_1.14-2.1osso_armel.deb /tar-temp/tar_1.14-2.1osso_armel.deb
changed directory to /tar-temp and restarted this process with :
dpkg -x tar*.deb /tar-temp/
tar cf - -C /floppy . | /tar-temp/bin/tar xvf - -C /opt
........... at this time it is still copying files ........................

Thank y'all for the red pill tip ................ (What a crock) Ostin.
