Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Package Manager Hanging

« on: May 18, 2006, 05:45:49 pm »

it's not opie though, I'm running GPE. according to df -h, I've got 2MB left on my / "partition" for lack of a better word. It seems as though nano installed, but it gives me an error about some library item not being found. I suppose I could manually download every package I want, but that's not very convenient. Suggestions?

Running script /media/card/packages//usr/lib/ipkginfo/nano.postinst
Configuring ncurses

so how is the fact that it hangs whenever it's supposed to be reading the package lists related to lack of space. Is there any way I can fix this? I suppose I could reflash, if that'll fix it, but I'd rather not.

why would firefox be so big? On the PC it's only like a 7 MB download. When I ran wget, it downloaded it to the directory I was in, which was the home directory. It stopped after about 25% of the download, saying it was out of space. My / is only allocated 14MB. Is this normal?

pinging google.com works. I'm pretty sure it's not on my end, because I can update my debian install, so it shouldn't be that. Is there another repositories elsewhere?

I tried the wget and it gave me an error about not having enough space. Where does the packages manager download to? Is there a way to download the packages themselves to sd, and then install to sd, and then remove the packages?

I'm using the graphical client, what do I need to run at the command line for more verbose? ipkg -v <somthing here>. I'm used to debians apt-get, but I don't know the commands for ipkg, and there aren't any man pages.

I think it's something like 14MB total, apperantly it's got 2.0MB free space. I think I picked the 32-32 image though. Maybe I'm missing something in how OZ flashes?

I can update my packages lists fine. Both from the console, and the package manager. But as soon as it's done downloading the package lists, it sits forever "reading the package lists". I let it sit overnight, and it was still doing it in the morning. I just got a wireless card, so this is the first time I've done this.

I don't necesarilly need to use the GUI app, but it'd be easier. I'll be getting a wireless card soon, and I've got a 1GB SD card that I need to fill up :-P

Thank you CoreDump, I'll try that when I get my wifi card.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.4/gpe Problems And Good Bits

« on: April 03, 2006, 04:07:55 pm »

Is anyone having things lock up on the 5500? I just updated from the 3.5.4RC/OPIE, and I like GPE better, but it keeps locking up. I've noticed it especially after using the rosetta trainer, and getting it all worked out. When I try to save the database, it locks up. Then I have to reset it, and I lose the database anyway. Suggestions?
