3.5.3 Working On Poodle?

[lardman]

If you install Gaim for example that has many subdirectories on /usr/share/
ipkg fails silently to make them and on the GUI the Gaim Icon is missing.

Does it fail to make them really? ipkg attempts to produce symlinks for each file all the way down to /, therefore some of them will fail (as a real directory already exists).

Or are you trying to install Gaim to a FAT formatted card?

To make the icon show up you need to restart opie (or use the QCop command to do this).

Error linkling '/home/opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/reload.png' to '//opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/reload.png'
Error linkling '/home/opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/editpaste.png' to '//opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/editpaste.png'

Perhaps because /home/opt doesn't exist - this looks like it might be a Sharp ROM package, or like it needs some tweaking. Can you give me an URL?


What fun hey? The trials and tribulations of releasing software for devices which it can't be tested on.

Keep up the bug reports, analysis and patches.

Well, it seems that the sound problem I noted earlier is limited to the builtin sounds. Opie-record works fine as well as mplayer and xmms-embedded. Anyone else noticing poor sound quality on the calendar alarm and CF/SD insert/eject notifications?

Lets imagine that you have made a /home destination that is on /dev/mtdblock3 (NAND).
Forget about SD and/or CF.
You install KaPi and it uses a file at /opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/reload.png
but since dest is /home it will locate it in
/home/opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/reload.png
This works perfectly. Al directories under /home are created successfully and all files placed.

_BUT_ opie needs that file under /opt/QtPalmtop so a symlink must be done.
It should finish like:
/opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/editpaste.png ->  /home/opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/reload.png

Yes?
Well, but as you have just installed KaPi then the
/opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/ and icons22/ does not exists...
So simlink fails.

After reading the log you have to
mkdir /opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/
mkdir /opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim/kaddressbook/icons22/

and run Update from the Package Manager for it to creat the link.
Yesterday I discovered that if you run
ipkg-link add kapi
It will link it ok.

Of course, if you are installing wget that puts the files under already existing directories, there is no problem making the symlinks.

Hope this helps
Sebastian.

Mickey already explained it is a known bug in opie.

I'd not realised that you'd set this as an installation point, sorry.
