1. Any reason the app manager is unable to find the repo when I can browse to it?

Any of these will give exactly the same result as installing via App Manager (except for handling dependencies). If it's not showing up in the app grid, it's either because the install failed to happen (e.g. you closed App Manager down before it'd finished), or it's not a GUI app (in which case it may well not have an icon).
2. Is there some way I can install the app when the app manager can't access the repo? I was able to download/install the .deb, but the app didn't show up in the app grid presumably because the N900 didn't know about its icon.

Also, the reason that SES is missing an icon and doesn't actually open has been discussed here
The freemantle typo was mine when typing the post.
1. Any reason the app manager is unable to find the repo when I can browse to it?
2. Is there some way I can install the app when the app manager can't access the repo? I was able to download/install the .deb, but the app didn't show up in the app grid presumably because the N900 didn't know about its icon.
Thanks!
