n900 app manager problems

[Ykho]

Hi I was hoping you guys could help me because i've googled my problem and I can't seem to find any soution.

The problem is that when I go in to app manager to download apps it says that there are "no applications available" and when I click uninstall there is nothing there, I also checked the catalogues but there isn't any there. I tried restarting the phone, after restart I am able to use app manager once, but once I close it the problems mentioned above start again, and I need to restart the phone again before I can use app manager.

Here is a copy of the log:


hildon-application-manager 2.2.65
apt-worker: too weak to get lock from 1615.
apt-worker closed connection.
apt-worker exited.
apt-worker is not running


I am currently on firmware 10.2010.19-1

I don't remember installing any dodgy apps recently (because i've been so busy playing pokemon sapphire on the n900 XD

Thanks for your time and effort

Im no expert but it sounds like its a connection problem, i think i had the same problem when i had hardly any reception, have you tried connecting to wifi and trying?

So your catalogues are empty? No Ovi, Nokia, Extras etc.?
I had the same problem last week.

Go to http://my-maemo.com/faq/showquestion...q=4&fldAuto=16
Somewhere not far from the top you'll see this:
"Catalogue name: Extras
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

...or simply click here on your Maemo device to install it automatically."

Click that 'here' link and all your repositories *should* magically reappear they did on my N900 at least..

Exactly my problem from last week, I had them all installed, but then the list was just empty all of a sudden, not even the standard catalogues were there..

Post is updated by the way hope that helps!

Seams like the app manager don't close properly.. have you tried "pkill hildon-application-manager" and then run it again?
