app manager trouble

Hello,

I seem to have broken the application manager (HAM) of my n900 within 2
days of buying it. For example, when I tap 'update' or 'download', I
get 'no catalogues in use' & 'no updates available'

Before it broke I successfully installed several packages with it, &
added devtools & installed several packages from there.

However after that I started using apt-get directly (command line), &
the same day I found HAM broken. I wonder if I used apt-get while HAM
was running.

I've installed more packages with apt-get in the subsequent 2 weeks, so
am not too desperate.

Is there a way to fix it? Would uninstalling & installing
hildon-application-manager be a bad idea?

Thanks for any help. I've appended some possibly relevant contents.

Brian Keck

Hello Brian,

I cannot really help you but want to warn you not to uninstall
preinstalled applications from the N900. I did that with the media
player once just to find it wasn't in the repositories so I had to
reflash the device to have it again. Be careful! :)

Hi Brain,

dit you have tryed to copy
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
to
/etc/apt/sources.list
and do an 'apt-get update' afterwards?

AFAIK apt-get only looking to /etc/apt/sources.list for his cataloges.
When this file is empty apt does'nt know what to install.

Why HAM is not working ... i don't know ... working whith apt since i
firstly turned on my N900. Sorry.

Greetings
Olli

Thanks, but apt-get works fine with /etc/apt/sources.list empty &
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list full, so I don't
think that can be right.

Brian, sadly

The prompt is suspicious. The apt-worker is started via "sudo", so
maybe your sudo configuration is 'wrong'. Check /etc/sudoers
/etc/sudoers.d/ and maybe run update-sudoers.

Yes! I had ignorantly added

user ALL=(ALL) ALL

to the end of sudoers, which I guess overrode the NOPASSWD for
apt-worker.

I moved it to the start, & now HAM works again.

Thanks
