How to Install GAIM on Nokia 770 OS2006


Tags: apt, gaim, sources_list

Bill (152.163.40.103) -

The first challenge for installing gaim for OS2006 is finding it. It's not listed in the application catalog for 2006.

It is actual quite easy to install GAIM and other applications are are listed in an application catalog.

If you goto the Application Manager it has two sections: Show Installed Applications and Install New Applications.

Under Install New Applications it has a very short list of available applications. To fix that problem you need to manually add the urls for application catalogs.

This is what I have loaded:

Nokia770-26:/etc/apt# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

#maemo:essential

deb catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/ mistral user

deb catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified/ mistral user

deb repository.maemo.org mistral free non-free

deb www.maemo-hackers.org/apt mistral main

deb http://www.mulliner.org/nokia770/repository maemo2 free

deb downloads.kernelconcepts.de/maemo2 mistral free

deb repository.maemo.org/contrib mistral free non-free

deb repository.maemo.org/contrib mistral free non-free

Now there are 3 ways you can load those (and other) urls:

1) Click on the title bar of the application manager, then tools, the application catalog and then key in each url

2) edit /etc/apt/sources.list from an xterm window (you'll probably need root and an editor like vim, or use echo >>

3) ssh to the nokia and then cut and paste from the website! This is the easiest I think.

Once you have sources.list updated (by whatever means) you'll have a pretty healthy list of applications ready for installation (including GAIM. You need to install GAIM and then the protocols you want to use).

Those urls are one per line with the mistral user at the end of the line. Not sure how it cuts and pastes from this website.

I do so believe that this list disables my application manager.

Comment #3 komal (64.61.111.235) -

can someone help me install gaim on my nokia n770 please

Comment #4 Bill from Lansing, Michigan -

Try going to Maemo.org

then select download at the top

then select OS2006

then select "communications"

It will have a link to install Gaim... which really puts it in the application maganger and you install from there... plus the protocols.

The new name for Gaim is Pidgin.. but the install link wasn't working tonight for that.
