I have tried to install this package several times now and the error messages alternate between â€œThis package seems to depend on other packages. Please install them too.â€ and â€œThe extract of some files are failed. The application may not execute normally. When you cannot operate the application please remove itâ€.

There is 17mb remaining in Internal Flash so that is ok.

I suspect the two error messages are somehow related, hopefully this can be easily rectified.

I had a lot more internal flash space when I installed the X/QT package. I think I have 35mb of flash memory free and after installing it.

I just have no idea how to get anything else working on a C1000 with a 1gb sd card for storage, any and all help gratefully received.

Reinstalled Debian once again, but this time was connected to internet.

Now, apt-get works great!

Onward with other testing...

Thanks,

Mark

Hey there,

I put in an SD card in my C1000 and formatted it to ext2

created a debroot

I then changed the install script for debian to point to that as /mnt/card where ever it asked for /hdd3

Debian and pocket workstation and the swapfile all installed pretty much fine.

Yeay! I was thinking.

Hitting the pocket workstation icon first called up X/QT and the plain old xterm.

Then I thought maybe it needs root privileges. So I gave it those. Now it doesn't open at all, just hangs with the flared icon.

Guess I've done something very wrong :-(

Anyone able to hint/help?

Hi just small suggestion
I was able to muddle Debian Jumbo Package installation :)

I'm not sure but maybe by insufficient memory on hdd3.
It has made loops as big as posible but not enaugh to make openoffice work properly.
Pocket Workstation seems to work fine.

Code: [Select]

#df
Filesystem   1k-blocks  Used       Available   Use%   Mounted on
/dev/loop0   285367     285366    0              100%   /hdd3/debroot
/dev/loop2   183264     183264    0              100%   /hdd3 /debroot /home /zaurus /OpenOffice.org1.1.4

(I didn't modified install script)

Do you have your loops in same size as me?

Hi, I formatted the SD card again and tried again and this time ran the whole things again from the kterm on the C1000 rather than from within the x/qt

I was as su -

This is what the xlauncher debian said:

Code: [Select]

# xlauncher debian
enabling swap /mnt/card/swapfile
swapon: swapon: Device or resource busy
starting Debian...
-- Debian chroot is /mnt/card/debroot
-- SD card is mounted - enabling it for Debian
-- binding Documents directory for Debian
-- mounting proc for Debian
starting X for Debian - please wait a moment...

And then all that happens is that x/qt opens and that's it.

I would guess something isn't happy, but I don't know what.

If you go to meanie's site, there is a link to the download place within the section that talks about installing the jumbo package.

did you use the latest install script? if not just get it and rerun it over your existing installation to upgrade.

omro · « **Reply #130 on:** July 24, 2005, 08:11:37 am »

I downloaded the lastest script and this is what was said in the xterm:

Code: [Select]

# ./xqt-debian-install.sh /mnt/card/debroot
/mnt/card/pocketworkstation created
/mnt/card/pocketworkstation mounted
Extracting Debian binaries. This will take a while ...
upgrading startd...
updating xterm wrapper
/bin/ln: `/home/root/.icewm': File exists
Extracting Debian documentation files
documentation extracted.
Debian files extracted.
Extracting OpenOffice binaries
OpenOffice files extracted.
preparing your network
Your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf under /mnt/card/debroot have been updated.
Please update them manually if your network settings or status changes.

Debian has been installed.
You can launch Debian from the Qt desktop via its icon or use:
xlauncher debian
 
# xlauncher debian
enabling swap /mnt/card/swapfile
swapon: swapon: Device or resource busy
starting Debian...
-- Debian chroot is /mnt/card/debroot
-- mounting Debian file image /mnt/card/pocketworkstation
-- SD card is mounted - enabling it for Debian
-- binding Documents directory for Debian
-- mounting proc for Debian
starting X for Debian - please wait a moment...

And again all that happened was that X/QT opened, displayed the xterm and stopped there.

Not to muddy the waters too much, but is it possible that the problem lies with X/QT on my C1000? I installed it and the system hung and when I rebooted X/QT was there and opened so I assumed it installed fine.

Or maybe I've missed a configurational step.

rebski · « **Reply #131 on:** July 24, 2005, 05:20:00 pm »

I seem to be making some progress now. I have also installed xqt-debian-scripts_0.4_arm.ipk and xqt-libXrender_1.2.2_arm.ipk in addition to xqt-gtk-jumbopack_0.4.3-0.6_arm.ipk. The Tab X/Qt together with placeholder icons now appears and I have installed the packages firefox_0.9-2_arm.ipk and thunderbird_0.6_armv5tel.ipk.

All the packages have gone to Internal Storage and all give me the error messages â€œThis package seems to depend on other packages. Please install them too.â€ and â€œThe extract of some files are failed. The application may not execute normally. When you cannot operate the application please remove itâ€.

Tapping the StartX icon does not seem to do very much and neither Firefox nor Thunderbird run, despite rebooting.

No matter, this is better than before and any input or suggestions would be very welcome.

I've located the problem on my 860.

I had the same behavior, basically XQt would start as if without the "debian" option.

The reason for me is these lines in .xinitrc:

Code: [Select]

# check debian location
if [ -f /etc/debroot ]; then
    DEBROOT=`cat /etc/debroot`
    if [ "$DEBROOT" != "" ] && [ -d $DEBROOT ]; then
        DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep $DEBROOT`
    else
        DEBIAN=""
    fi
else
    DEBROOT=NODEBIAN
    DEBIAN=""
fi

Specifically the line:

Code: [Select]

DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep $DEBROOT`
Since I installed it to /mnt/card/debroot all goes well, however when you look at "mount | grep debroot" you'll see that in the running processes list the card is actually reffered to as /usr/mnt.rom/card and not /mnt/card

And that's the problem.

After I changed the line to

Code: [Select]

DEBIAN=`mount|grep proc|grep /usr/mnt.rom/card/debroot`
all's fine in my case...

not sure why you need to do this since the debian install script creates the necessary loop devices and filesystems for you.

the install only hangs if your Z goes into powersave/suspend mode because it takes quit a time (according to some 45 minutes) so it is most likely that your x/qt install never successfully installed so you most likely only have a partial install.
