Notices

At first NM was broken no longer syncing. Remove and reinstall fixed that, but notification doesn't work now...

I get an exit status 2 error, it says its not a debian package? The portrait settings mod i was able to install!

And could you make the lockscreen where you type in your key when device is secured rotate to portrait! That would be the best maemo modification ever!!

Thanks

Am i the only one with this problem?

@cpt.bert

Maybe because your output is pretty confusing

-You had error message but you managed to install mod. So where is the problem here?

-You requested something totally different than what this thread topic is about.

So where is the catch?

.edit
Okey. Are you trying to say that you are not able to install THIS package but something other you were able to install?

Sorry for the confusion. I wasnt able to install this mod because the error code 2 meant that the .deb file that i pulled in wasn't in a debian format, thats what xtrerm said. I just copied and pasted the code from the first post.

I was however able to install the modifaction to the settings application, wich was the same proces.

Thanks.

Is there any chance you made some typo in the deb file, or one got made due to some glitch? If you ls the directory you wget'd(/axel'd) it to, is the .deb file named correctly?

Anyway, I don't really know how to help here.

That said, I'm about to install it myself, so I'll let you know if anything happens on my end.

Okay, my result is this: dpkg -i --simulate modest(blahversion#s).deb resulted in error status too. Because I've sometimes gotten different results if I put the --simulate flag elsewhere, I did dpkg --simulate -i modest(version#s).deb, and got the same error status.

Went through with dpkg -i modest(blah#s).deb and it installed fine. Not sure what the issue was. Did you try to actually install, or did you try --no-act/--simulate/(that other one) first, and reported that error?

I just copied the text form the top textbox from the first textbox and it failed? is there an alternative way of installing?

(Just to report a bug - the account setup wizard doesn't scroll side to side for me. Of course, I have this issue in a bunch of other stock apps - one of the only reasons I got FApMan is for the portrait-mode use - HAM kept not letting me scroll sideways in the pop-up menus for install and download - in fact half the time it would kick you back to landscape and I had to turn it again. So I suspect this is a Modest problem, not a this-modification-of-modest problem)

Uhh.... Not sure what went wrong on your end, then, cpt.bert. Did you copy both commands in at once instead of the wget one first, then dpkg -i?

Are you running it as root?

Personally, I manually typed it out. Takes longer, but I feel like it works better. Anyway, when you run if from X-Term, go to whatever directory you wget'd it to (which will be the directory you were in when you ran wget, which is probably ~, or /home/user/ if you didn't intentionally cd elsewhere first), and run ls (as in LS - the listing stuff command). Is (as in IS, the word) there even a "modest_3.2.13-3+0m5_armel.deb" file in that folder? Also, are you sure you had good internet connectivity when you did it? Maybe the file got corrupted - perhaps delete the .deb and wget it again?

Broken nofitication issue is fixed after removing NM, reinstalling stock modest, adding NM, then reinstalling patched version again.
