Installing application problems
« on: September 24, 2004, 05:11:59 am »
Hi, I have been tying to install a few applications to my new C680 I run cacko 1.21b rom
and have tried using the add/remove programs applet to install 'Portabase' and a few other App's to my internal flash.

For some reason although the is loads of space, it won't let me, I get the message "ipkg says something went wrong. Sorry"

However I can install to my SD card, but I don't wont to use that.

When I use a shell and the 'ipkg' command from the same directory of the _.ipk I want to install I get all this?:


The following package were previously requested but have not been installed:
error
Install them now [Y/n] ? Y
filename - __.ipk ...
/__.ipk: Invalid host name.
ipkg_download:ERROR: Failed to retrieve /__.ipk. returning
ipkg_get_install : Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?


Anybody know what all thats about??

Cheers.
