Most of the reasons why the Maemo 5 Community SSU cannot be installed can be checked under the Problems tab when viewing the package in Application Manager.


Q: I cannot install Maemo 5 Community SSU Package because of xxxxx package

A: The best way to check out the source of the problem for this is to go into X Terminal and to use apt-get to install the package whilst Community SSU repository is enabled inside HAM:

 apt-get install package name that is causing the problem

In most cases, users with modified-hildon-desktop will have issues updating hildon-desktop. That is because modified-hildon-desktop overwrites schemes set out by the normal hildon-desktop. To alleviate this issue one needs to remove modified-hildon-desktop before retrying.




Q: I can't install the enabler; it says "not enough disk space available". How much is required?

A: stlpaul reports that he freed up 15MB from the rootfs and "then it worked".




Q: The installation of CSSU fails and HAM says something about catalogue problems.

A: The Community SSU installer can not check if the CSSU catalogue or any other catalogue fails to update and does not continue in any case. Start Application Manager before you do any of the installation steps. Try to update your catalogues and remove any non-working catalogues, that is those marked with a red "!") in the Settings.
