No easy method no.  On the other hand one of the first things a deb installer 
does is check to see if it can install.  (meaning it has enough space) and 
then bomb out if it doesn't. 

I might be possible to unpack the deb and do some hand manipulation (also 
involves a chicken bone and eye of newt at midnight.)  but no easy way I know 
of.  Problem here is that the creators of deb/rpm/etc haved intentionally 
pushed this function to the side to maintain ease of use for the greatest

Peter, open your Application manager then click on the words "Application

willl open a menu where you click "Application" and "Install from file" This 
will allow you to navigate to where you saved the .deb and install it.

Installing apps when there's no installer

A large number of the apps listed at http://maemo.org/downloads have a 
greyed out button labelled "missing install". The link to these apps' 
homepages eventually takes you to the downloads, including a .deb, but 
I'm not an apt-get expert: how do I make it install from a .deb that 
I've already downloaded, without using a repository? The apt-get man 
page is silent on this.

For very large apps, eg MaemoTeX, I will want to ensure that it goes 
onto my external SD card (rather than wherever it thinks it ought to 
go), and then soft-link the binaries to /usr/local/bin. Is there a way 
to override the default install paths, or will I need to unzip the .deb

Re: Brick after battery dying?

2007-10-26 Thread DrFredC.com
It's possible that you've got some corrupted memory of some sort, 
perhaps/possibly due to an attempt to write to memory while the battery 
was running out of power or interrupted for some reason?

Start with the external chips -- Try removing your memory chips and 
rebooting. If this works, then you might have a corrupt external chip, 
which may require formating if you can't read them. See if you can read 
the chips in another computer.  You may or may not be able to salvage 
some info if this is the problem.  There are apparently some problems 
with some chips and previous versions of the OS corrupting chips...

If this doesn't work, you might have a corrupted internal memory.  
Flashing the lastest OS update MIGHT (or might not) work.  If you 
haven't done a recent backup, you might have a bit of work reinstalling 
everything.

There's instructions on how to do get the latest update at 
http://europe.nokia.com/A4305006

At least it's worth a try.

Thanks all, I seem to be getting further.

Now I got a blue progress bar that progressively filled up and a Nokia
logo (text not hands).  It goes no further (after >10min), and doesn't
want to power off via the power button, though the back light does
time out and come back in resonse to the touch screen. I'll likely
reflash with RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.26-8_PR_MR0 next.

I'd tried taking the battery out before but apparently not for long
enough, that seemed to get me part way, far enough atleast for the
flasher to set r&d mode.

after setting r&d mode is when the progress bar came up. it also
showed I'm running HW build 1301 with nolo 1.1.6 and initfs version
osso-rx-34 2007-24 1, but it didn't actually boot to an OS.

I did install UIA and related packages from ccrl

I'll look up the accesspoint stuff, mine is an old enterasys box.

The charger and battery seem good, when it's in use for hours it seems
to drain at a reasonable rate and fill at a reasonable rate when
charging.  Though it's died both nights I left it on over night, last
time it came back when charged though.

Even with wlan enabled it should last something like 3-4 days, iirc.
You should check your access point against those that are blacklisted.
You can search for mails from Kalle Valo in the archive.

Does it turn on when you plug in the charger? (I assume that the charger
itself is already connected to the wall socket).

If it doesn't, then your battery is not charging. I don't know if it is
a problem in the device or in the charger, though. That would also
explain why it dies, the battery is flat.

Does this happen about 6 secs after the device boots?

Which software release you have?  Have you installed some extra
software to the device?

If you have the very first SW release in your device (Chinook which
comes out soon, is fourth SW release for N800), I think that was the one
with the DSME + RSS applet bugs which were fixed a long time ago.

The issue was following:

RSS applet caused the device Home application to crash when loading
certain kind of RSS feed content from the network (by default the applet
refreshes the feeds automatically from network) which causes device
reboot.  On next boot RSS applet reads the content from the cache which
causes a reboot loop.

(in newer releases Home is restarted without applets after crash,
i.e. there's no need for reboot and applet related reboot-loops cannot
happen.)

Then there was a bug that if device crashed enough times in a row,
it never came up until it was reflashed.  You can test whether it's
this bug by setting the device into R&D mode with the (Linux)
flasher program, it should then boot (further).  If you had the RSS
applet issue, this doesn't get the device further up though, so only
way to fix this is reflashing the device.  The newer releases have
many other improvements (Skype support, Flash 9 etc).

Also 3.2006.49-2 has ssl libs, that cannot verify connection to
secure server. Try using this:
  openssl s_client -connect pop3.myisp.net:995
Openssl in repository looks different for n800, so I believe it
should be better for that device. Or not?

Yes, that's the problem. Nokia 770 is not the most stable device in the 
world. Just try again starting with formatting already partitioned card

# mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

and then

# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /opt

Again, no need to do again if you did it once. It is not related to 
specific card.

If it said that boot failed then even /sbin/init is not found on the

Yes, there are many post about this specific problem in 
http://www.internettablettalk.com/ forum. There is no definite solution. 
It simply should not crash in the first place. If terminal crashes in 
the middle of copy it makes no sense to try to boot such partly copied 
system. Just try again.

What you can try:
- enable swap on FAT partition before running tar, this may help a lot. 
You may even try to play with swappiness, search internettablettalk 
forum for swappiness or seatbelt
- after it fails, reopen terminal again and run 'dmesg' command - if you 
see I/O errors there is some problem with the card. If you see out of 
memory messages than it makes sense to try again (without rebooting, 
just unmounting the card 'umount /floppy' and starting at mke2fs step again.
- if you are adventurous and have the right card you may try to flash 
kernel with multiblock writing and higher mmc speed.
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#mmcplus
This will shorten the copy time (like 10 times) and is a good test of 
such kernel and your card. It may also help with the out of memory 
situation since the faster writing will not fill memory so fast with not 
yet written blocks. Before trying this make sure you know how to put 
original kernel back or you are comfortable with the idea of reflashing 
whole device.

Also you could boot to bootmenu usb network recovery mode and do the 
cloning from there (since you have whole memory free at that time) but 
this is quite advanced topic and there is no guide.

First check that date and time are correct. Then tell us what kind of
error message you get and any other details you can think of.

Good point. If it's MDNS then it's normal. But if it's normal unicast
DNS requests origination from some other device, something is broken.
