I have tried to install several programs on my 4 GB SD card, but I always get the following error message:
"Not enough storage memory for installation"
I have 2773MB available on the SD card, so I don't really understand the problem.
The only thing I can think of is the sharp installer doesn't want to install to a 4GB SD card.
The SD card is formatted as ext2.
I used the command "mke2fs -m 0 /dev/mmcda1" to format it so I wouldn't have the 5% overhead loss.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

i have the same issues. install programs using terminal.
-
I'll give it a try, thanks.

Well, I can get the packages install to the SD card no problem, but I don't get an icon on the desktop.
# ipkg -d /mnt/card install packagenameI just can't seem to figure out the link command.
Also is there a command to restart qtopia (I don't have an icon for it)
Thanks,
Doug

You can't install progs to SD or CF from the command line and run them effectively, since the ipkg doesn't ipkg link them after installing them to the SD. The qipkg does the linking for you.
You need to manually link the files then. Meanie has an xipkg script in his ipkg-tools package that does the linking. I have found it not to my liking. So I use this script:
#!/bin/sh
TEMP=/tmp
HDD=/mnt/card
for FILE in $*
do
ipkg -d h install $FILE
PROGRAM=`basename $FILE | sed 's/_.*//'`
echo "Linking $PROGRAM files..."
sed 's/\(^[^\/]\)/\/\1/' < $HDD/usr/lib/ipkg/info/$PROGRAM.list > $TEMP/list1
LIST=`cat $TEMP/list1`
for LINE in $LIST
do
if [ -d $HDD$LINE ]
then
mkdir -p $LINE
elif [ -f $HDD$LINE ]
then
if [ -e $LINE ]
then
rm $LINE
fi
ln -s $HDD$LINE $LINE
elif [ -h $HDD$LINE ]
then
if [ -e $LINE ]
then
rm $LINE
fi
cp $HDD$LINE $LINE
fi
done
sed 's/\(.*\)/\/hdd3\/installroot\1/' < $TEMP/list1 > $TEMP/list2
cat $TEMP/list1 >> $TEMP/list2
cp $TEMP/list2 /usr/lib/ipkg/info/$PROGRAM.list
rm $TEMP/list1
rm $TEMP/list2
rm $HDD/usr/lib/ipkg/info/$PROGRAM.list
sed 's/\/hdd3\/installroot/\//' < $HDD/usr/lib/ipkg/status >> /usr/lib/ipkg/status
rm $HDD/usr/lib/ipkg/status
touch $HDD/usr/lib/ipkg/status
if [ -e $HDD/usr/lib/ipkg/info/$PROGRAM.* ]
then
mv $HDD/usr/lib/ipkg/info/* /usr/lib/ipkg/info/
fi
echo "Done."
doneRun it as sudo ipk the_ipkg_nameand it'll install the packages to sd and link them, so you can use them later.
Regarding the error with not enough space that you get, you need enough space in your internal memory to unpack the full ipk. So if you're installing something big, though to an SD, it unpacks it in Temp somewhere to internal memory. Check Meanie's site on how to set the TMP or TEMP variable, so it doesn't unpack to internal and you don't get the not-enough-storage-space error.

Sounds like a lot of work.
I'll see if I can figure it all out.
Thanks for the info.
Doug.

sudo ipk the_ipkg_nameRunning this command sounds like a lotta work to you?
-
Since you said I had to run "sudo ipk the_ipkg_name" I installed sudo_0.1_arm.ipk.
This is an old version I used to have on my SL-5500 ... I couldn't find a newer version in any of the feeds.
I copied the code you gave me to a file which I named "ipk" (because you said to run "sudo ipk") and made it executable.
In the terminal as root, I cd to /mnt/card where I have "ipk" and "amortize_1.0.0_arm.ipk" located for testing.
When I run "sudo ipk amortize_1.0.0_arm.ipk" I get an error message something like "not found: sudo ipk".
So I must be doing something wrong.
Sorry to be such a pain, but I'm lost.
Thanks,
Doug

I'm going to guess that the directory you put the 'ipk' file into was not in your path, in which case you'd need to specify the path to the executable. If you're in the directory containing the executable, you could do:
sudo ./ipk amortize_1.0.0_arm.ipk
A better solution, if you're planning to use this script, would be to put it into a directory that is in your path. That could be /usr/bin or some other directory where you store executables.
BTW, you don't need to run sudo if you're logged in as root. The sudo command allows you to run commands with root privileges while you are logged in as a normal user. If you're root, just leave the sudo part off.

I've tried all combinations of the command and I can't get past the "not found" error.
I installed pdaXqtrom using Meanie's pdaXqtrom-install.sh script and didn't have any problem at all.
Thanks for the reply,

he probably meant ipkg install and not just ipk
