Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hancom Apps

« on: October 20, 2004, 03:16:05 pm »

So, the portmap problem apparently has something to do with the default package manager (see the other thread where you just replied to me).  So I installed opie-aqpkg and now I"m at least getting different error messages-- the Hancom apps apparently don't specify an architecture now.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.1 package manager ??

Um,

Or you could just set up the feed and it will download and install automatically. ;-)

but dansawyer said:

3.5.1 package manager does not seem to operate properly. It shows installed packages. However attempts to use the configure option and create a feed do not seem to succeed. No feed entry is created

So tell me, how do you set up a feed to install a library to satisfy a dependency to install a package manager to replace the one that doesn't let you set up a feed? Riddle me that...

Meanwhile, I managed to get opie-aqpkg installed but it still doesn't show my local packages (the ones on my SD card). So I'm one of the people who has been totally unable to install (and use) any application under OZ 3.5.1 so far.

Hmmm... when I install qpaint I also get:

update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/portmap: file does not exist

Why does that file not exist?

Yeah, I used -force-depends last night and it didn't seem to work. I'll try again. I want to use this Zaurus to edit images and OpenOffice docs and surf the web wirelessly (including FTP) and that's it. If I could get those few things working I'd be happy.

Yes, I use ipkg install. I've tried to install the Hancom apps as well as VisualQ, Qpaint and a couple others. One of two things always happens:

1. There's a dependency that it claims it can't satisfy, so I download the package to satisfy the dependence and it says it's not installing it because all the files are already provided by an identically named package that is already installed. For example, Qpaint requires qpe-base, which requires qpe-embedded. It tells me it doesn't have qpe-embedded, but then when I try to install qpe-embedded it gives me a bunch of "not installing foo because it's already provided by qpe-embedded" messages. I'm paraphrasing a little bit.

2. It seems to install okay, but doesn't run. This is what VisualQ seems to do.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Can't install anything on OZ 3.5.1

« on: October 20, 2004, 03:59:22 am »

I've got a 5000D and I've flashed the ROM with the 24/8 version of OpenZaurus 3.5.1. I got the Zaurus because I want to edit images and OpenOffice-type documents. I can't get any software at all to install. I put the .ipk files on the SD card, I run ipkg from the shell, it looks like it's doing stuff, but then it always gives some error or another-- either it can't satisfy a dependency for a package (even though package manager says it's already installled) or something else. Of course I always get the application icon in the launcher, and of course it doesn't work.

I want to be able to install and use:

1. Hancom Office programs
2. an image editor (Hancom paint, or qpaint, or visualq)
3. browser, ftp, gaim, wireless drivers for my CF WiFi card

...and that's really it. If I can install those things, I'll be happy. If I can't, then I'm not sure what the Zaurus will be useful for.

Anybody know what I should be trying?

WOW! It seems excessively difficult to install stuff under OZ. I mean, on my FC2 laptop I can use yum or even rpm to do it. But so far I have failed to have even one application that I installed with ipkg work at all.
