Any thoughts on how to fix it? I also have the problem that is is only half installed at the moment, so when i use it from the Settings menu and hit "save" i get the messages "failed to save the settings". Hence the reason for wanting to reinstall.

can you plz do:

sudo apt-get clean

before reinstalling.

Result is the same despite the clean.

Hope this resolves the issue..

psswitcherd is supposed to be in /etc/event.d dir after the installation of the app. As it says the problem's in cp: /tmp/psswitcherd, can you plz do the following:

cp /etc/event.d/psswitcherd /tmp/

and then try reinstalling. If it still fails then you can go here and download the .deb file manually to your device then install this file.

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file/psswitcher*

No such file or directory exists. Here is a find to show what i've got.

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# find / -iname '*psswitcher*'
/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/PSSwitcher.png
/var/lib/dpkg/info/psswitcher.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/psswitcher.prerm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/psswitcher.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/psswitcher.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/psswitcher.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/psswitcher.preinst
/usr/lib/hildon-control-panel/PSSwitcherplugin.so
/usr/sbin/PSSwitcher
/usr/share/applications/hildon-control-panel/PSSwitcherplugin.desktop
/home/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/PSSwitcher.png
Nokia-N900:~#

So i've got the thingy in the settings/control panel, but when i use it it says that the settings weren't saved. I think the install never happened correctly initially (as it has never worked), but i didn't noticed because it was when i got a bunch of errors thanks to the pygame dependency debacle.

So with the above information, what course should i take? Should i just delete all the above files and try to install again from apt-get?

Downloading the .deb from the link I posted before this and installing manually from x-term like I mentioned in the same post should override everything and hence solve the problem. Did you try like that?

Hi there just wanted to say that this is a very useful application. I really do enjoy and appreciate it

. However I have just two feature requests if possible.

Could the power buttons also be an option to answer calls?

Also could there be an option like proximity sensor to answer calls?

For example Phone rings, you place the phone to your ear and call is answered. Sounds a little hard I know because the phone maybe in the pocket at one time and the call maybe answered by accident, but just asking.

For feature 1 the problem is it has its own dropdown menu and it'll actually be a hastle unless someone can tell how I can disable it as this is what I'd thought before.
For feature 2 you presented the problem yourself

I took the route that i asked about. I just deleted every file that showed up with the find and then did an apt-get --reinstall (since it thought it was installed) and it redownloaded the package and installed sucessfully.

I have this odd bug where, when I answer a call the phone app minimises and rotates to landscape. Is there a fix for this?

Cool app, just annoying to have to bring the phone app back to full screen. I would rather it stay full screen.
