Please attach the log from application manager when trying to
uninstall/upgrade.

Also please try starting fMMS from X-Terminal and attach the output when it
fails to start (/opt/fmms/fmms_gui.py in X-Terminal). Thank you!

Hi.

When I try to uninstall it says "Unable to uninstall 'fMMS' " then it exits and
it says : "Internal Error. Application 'app. manager' closed."

/opt/mms $ /opt/fmms/fmms_gui.py

By tapping the menu bar you should be able to get the log from application
manager.

fMMS is not launching because dependencies have been uninstalled.

I can't see anything in the log of appl manager since it exit when I try to
uninstall fMMS. Can uninstall fMMS manually?

apt-get remove fmms

I'm pretty sure there is something more going on then simply installing fMMS
and then trying to remove it, are you sure you didnt forget to mention
something like overclocking, using something else than Application Manager to
install/uninstall applications?

No I didn't do anything like that.

I tried the command but I need to be root apparently:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: U able to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Hi Nick.

Any update? How to become root?

Br.

Oussama.

Short version: install rootsh, 'sudo gainroot' and then 'apt-get remove fmms'

Longer version: search wiki.maemo.org and/or talk.maemo.org, plenty of
excellent guides there :)

Same problem here:
1. I installed it on PR1.2, (never used it)
2. updated Maemo to PR1.3
3. then tied to update fmms -> error

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
