Title: Error Installing Opie Reader 0.7h Via Terminal
Post by: Snappy on August 04, 2005, 10:24:53 am

Hi there,

I'm trying to install opie reader on a Z5500 /w 3.10 Sharp rom via qpe terminal  1.5.0-3.

It fails with "Cannot create directory '//home/tmp/ipkg/opie-reader-simpad': Permission denied"

I tried chown but I've no idea what to params to use ...

Please help. Thanks!

Try doing su first.

i.e.

> su
> ipkg install opie-reader....

Thanks Tim! It works ... installation went through ... but ... but, let me find the app icon!

You need to restart qtopia. If you don't have the "Stop" application you can do a soft reset (don't do a hard one!) by toggling the switch next to the battery cover. Just don't take the cover off and hit the switch inside (that's a hard reset).
