Re: N800 update in red pill mode.
As I have been told the problem is using the "magic.sys" update target. One should not do it. The (one ?) broken lib causing the trouble is: libgtk-x11-2.0 in the http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/binary/ repository. I am quite sure it is not the only problem lib. I have a dual-boot system and tried to fix the broken lib from the healthy sytem. I failed to fix it. The graphic UI does not start any more if the broken version of the lib gets installed. The symptoms: suddendly hildon applications do not start, booting failes after the blue progress bar reaches appr. 90%. I have disabled red-pill mode and will not use (the very convenient if it would work) "magic.sys" target.

N800 update in red pill mode.
Sorry for being so late on this subject. Stil let me add my experience. I also updated my N800 in red pill mode. Here my story http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8992 There is (at least one) broken library on the nokia site which overwirtes your beloved software on N800. The only cure is reinstall. It is not a quality delivery by nokia. I did not issue a bug report, probably it is not a bug only a nuisance. I reported it on meamo-developers mailing list. Either nobody cares or the nokia developers do not frequent the devel-mailing list. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I did not upgrade libgtk from the AppMgr. Is magic:sys not the right item to use to update the system easily with the newest versions of installed software? Why is the wrong version of libgtk2.0 lying around in the repository ? (It has the "right" version number, but the contents are two months older than the 4-2007-OS version. I suspect these libs to brick the IT.) Christian ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Problems with libgtk.
I have run into problems resulting in an unbootable N800. The story is described in the internettabletalk forum: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8992 The story short: my N800 stops booting after the progress bar reaches about 90%. The errors : 1. Before the last reboot I could not start evince with error: libgtk-x11-2.0 undefined symbol osso_g_scanner_cache_open 2. The boot process seems to fail because of user.log:Aug 19 12:52:11 Nokia-N800-26 DSME: Non-root process '/usr/bin/systemui' spawning too fast -> remove it The installed libgtk2.0 on my broken IT is different from the libgtk2.0 as found in the newest flash image. The only explanation why, is an update of magic.sys which I started from the Application Manager previous to the problems. I suspect the libgtk2.0 library in the http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/binary/ be the problem. For more details please refer to the forum. I hope this is the right place to ask for fix of this library in the repository. By the way: is there a different way to rescue the N800 besides a reinstall ?
