It strikes me that what is referred to in this page as "Manual installation" seems more automated than the regular instructions of downloading the .sh files and so on. Does anyone object if I rename that section to "Installing using your package manager" and move it closer near the top so people see that first before latching on to the .sh based installation instructions?

My experiences when going through this guide (using the .sh files, Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit):
 +
* The scratchbox install script required VDSO to be disabled (the "If you are not able to login, take a look at the limitations of Scratchbox." line should perhaps be copied to this step)
 +
* Adding the deb line for the nokia binary packages to /etc/apt/sources.list with nano seemed to hard wrap the line to the screen which meant "apt-get update" gave an error.  I used vim to add the line instead which worked fine.
 +
* Installing the binary packages with "fakeroot apt-get install nokia-binaries nokia-apps" failed near the end with "connection reset by peer".  It did this for both targets but re-running the same command allowed it to complete.

It strikes me that what is referred to in this page as "Manual installation" seems more automated than the regular instructions of downloading the .sh files and so on. Does anyone object if I rename that section to "Installing using your package manager" and move it closer near the top so people see that first before latching on to the .sh based installation instructions? josefdk 04:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
