from what I've seen it was downloading packages one-by-one installing as it goes. :( > Look into > > /media/mmc2/.apt-archive-cache > /media/mmc1/.apt-archive-cache > /var/cache/apt/archives.

Any idea what that might have been? Nothing was happening at the time. Sequence was fairly simple: 1. turn on the updates (via app manager) 2. walk away 3. let N800 download/install packages 4. come back later 5. reboot N800 6. live happy. items 3 and 6 were the ones with the problem: #3 broke several times complaining about version mismatches (to which I replied: "ok") assuming that there is some error in dependency resolution and it'll get fixed on the second run of update. (The very last event on device was another pop-up with conflict information, but WiFi was gone then so hitting OK didn't do anything except for failure) I couldn't locate WiFi AP anymore so I did #5 thinking that maybe driver version has changed and the whole OS better be reloaded. But that didn't help either. > First try > > # dpkg --configure -a > Does this do anything? Any errors? This might bring your connectivity > back.

I did it twice already - unfortunately a no-go. (Now I regret not having fully developed backup procedure for N800). P.S. I have some extra repositories configured, but I do not use testing or unstable repos that could've broken things so severely. P.S.S. I can try to resuscitate WiFi manually if I only knew how. Looking at the list of packages yet to be updated it seems like my gui might be out-of-sync with other libs? Can I kick in manual config for WiFi just to finish update? _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
