he,
thanks man, this was working!  
i can finally install packages, yeah.

i installed opie-mediaplayer2 and it have still a little problem:

for testing i downloaded some pocketmovies in mpg1 in low resolution.
i can hear the sound but dont see anything (just black).
i did read that it could be the ram, so i created temporarly a 8MB swapfile to see if this works. didnt.

where can i see how much ram (the random one) is used?

i ran following commands for the swap:

Code: [Select]

root@collie:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/root/swapfile bs=1024 count=8192
dd: /home/root/swapfile: No space left on device
root@collie:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/card/swapfile bs=1024 count=8192
8192+0 records in
8192+0 records out
root@collie:~# mkswap /media/card/swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 8384512 bytes
root@collie:~# swapon /media/card/swapfile
root@collie:~# free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:        30160        29392          768            0          160
 Swap:         8184            0         8184
Total:        38344        29392         8952
could the problem be the space, or something else?

thanks in advance

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems On Installing Packages Oz3.5.3/opie

« on: December 31, 2005, 04:07:52 pm »

hi,
first of all: sorry for my bad english.

i have a SL5500G with 512MB/SD-card and a 128MB/CF-card. for now im using zaurus>USBcradle>winxp>inet to connect.
i can flash OZ3.5.3/3.5.2/3.5.1 and opie without problems. the zImage is *32-32*.

but i cannot install any packages no matter wich OZ-version - most of the time the Z hangs up at the installprocess, and if not, im having troubles with the dependencies (isnt ipkg responsible for deps.?)
i manually changed and entered all the package-links without exception, so it finds all available packages.

first of all i want to install a media player (tryed xmms opiemplayer) and a vnc server for comfort while getting ill with this kind of problems. i also tryed to install some other tiny apps just for testing if its a package-problem --> also failed.

can someone help me out, before i hurt my Z, please?

do i have to change the distri/zImage/card/ etc...?

thanks in advance.
