Installing Ipk's
« on: March 31, 2005, 06:01:58 am »
FYI

I've had a few ipks not install with the realy helpfull message of "ipk says some thing went wrong". (AKA Computer says no)

From command line (su  ipkg install PACKAGE.ipk) I get "Qt/Embedded data directory not owned by user 0"

find / -name Qt/Embedded (and variants) gives nothing.

eventualy I found  this:

Quote
The "Qt/Embedded" files are in /temp, named qtembedded-USERNAME, thus qtembedded-root and qtembedded-zaurus. Make sure qtembedded root is owned by root and group qpe, make sure qtembedded-zaurus is owned by zaurus:
# su root
# chown root:qpe /tmp/qtembedded-root       
# chown zaurus:qpe /tmp/qtembedded-zaurus
www.oesf.org/index.php?act=findpost&pid=19647

Ok this didn't quite work but
# chown root /tmp/qtembedded-zaurus -R
has fixed it so I can install.

I needed to pust it back to run apps:
# chown zaurus /tmp/qtembedded-zaurus -R

but at least I can deal with it now.

Just thought I'd share that...
