I had to re-flash my N900 and went through the instructions on page 1 and am getting the same errors as these guys above. It was working for me originally before the reflash.

In answer to your last questions:

which iplayer-dl = /usr/bin/iplayer-dl

and for

chown root. /user/bin/iplayer-dl = No such file or directory.

Apologies, had a typo in there. I've edited the original. Given your output I'm not sure this will necessarily help though - will think harder about it in the morning!

Cheers,
Jan

chown root. /usr/bin/iplayer-dl
which iplayer-dl

This now returns ....

/usr/bin/iplayer-dl

Well in an attempt to track this down I installed iplayer-dl from Kasper's repository. I'm afraid it works for me so is a bit difficult to troubleshoot! The next thing I would try would be the following:

Code:
ls -l /opt/ruby/bin
and post the output.

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Jan

This is what I get...which I don't really understand as I flashed my device yesterday. I would have thought that it would have had a different timestamp?

I added the repository to the app manager catalogue, closed it then loaded x terminal. The 2nd command returns an error:

Code:
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ sudo gainroot
Enable RD mode if you want to break your device
~ $ apt-get update
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory
Please help

Try ensuring that there are no other apps running.

Nothing else is running except for a few statusbar apps, I will look around more.

Also, is Distribution: fremantle or freemantle ??? I tried both.

Should be fremantle

I just uninstalled 7 applets but no luck, I cannot get this to work. Even typing the first command in x terminal shows an odd response:

Code:
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso26+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ sudo gainroot

~ $
Root Shell won't enable. Can anyone help? All i've done so far is added the repository information into the app manager under new catalogue. I then saved this, my n900 says looking for updates, then shows me the app manager menu. I close this, enter xterminal and type in the 3 commands, all responses are odd. Why am I the only one having this problem? We all have the same device...
