Up To Date Feed For Gpe

There's a conflict between gpe-session-scripts (from OZ's feed) and xsession-common (from Koen's feed). xsession-common was installed by 'ipkg upgrade' and wanted to overwrite some packages belonging to gpe-session-scripts.

gpe-session has been split out into xsession-common et al since 3.5.3.

This is a problem with mixing programs with feeds of different ages.

But there's no suitable gpe-session-scripts ipkg (only a version for h3900) in Koen's feed! What's the RightWay™ to do?

I'd say just let it them overwrite one another (or wait for the RC images which Mickeyl is preparing as we speak) using the appropriate ipkg switch.

INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rc"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty"
(a lot of times)
INIT: Id "S" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty"
(another load of times)
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

Funny messages though - is getty included in one of these scripts ipks, if so it's ok, if not, then something else is wrong too from the looks of it?

Hm, letting xsession-scripts overwrite gpe-session-scripts, right?

/sbin/getty is owned by tinylogin, so the problem isn't there...

Hm...

1) Even with the new gpe-session-scripts, there is still a conflict between gpe-session-scripts and xsession-common
2) With the new ipkg, I can't install packages from OE's feed... it says that "Couldnt kill old gunzip process" and aborts. No error happens with packages from Koen's feed.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=100162\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

ipkg -force-overwrite -force-reinstall install gpe-session-scripts
ipkg -force-overwrite -force-reinstall install xserver-common

That should put all the files in the correct place.

If you want to have a lot of bugs fixed and/or try new apps like gpe-mini-browser, add http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/sfeed/ to your feeds.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=93311\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Finally a feed which includes Abiword and Gnumeric. Can't wait to get home and try it on my Z.

My recent experiences with the feed:

I installed Abiword from the feed without any problems and seems to work perfectly.

Gnumeric 1.6 had post-install and dependency errors and only -force-overwrite installed it. When I start it, it complains about not being able to load/save settings. It seems that it misses some Gnome configuration utilities (gconftool-2 ???) without which it cannot load/save its preferences (e.g. which toolbars are visible).
Is there a way to fix this?

I recognized the same problem. I think it results of a missing dbus communication partner:
/usr/libexec/gconfd-2

But haven't found the correct starting procedure yet ...

That's the error message:
** (gnumeric:1745): WARNING **: Unable to load key '/apps/gnumeric/core/gui/toolbars/ObjectToolbar' : because No D-BUS daemon running

When adding a DBUS service to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
[D-BUS Service]
Names=org.gnome.GConf;
Exec=/usr/libexec/gconfd-2

gconfd-2 is started but nothing changes to the above given error

A call of
> gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome
results in

Failure listing entries in `/desktop/gnome': Failed to activate configuration server: The service org.gnome.GConf was not found in the activation entry list

I tried to install gst-plugins and got following output:
# ipkg  install gst-plugins_0.8.7-r3_arm.ipk
Installing gst-plugins (0.8.7-r3) to root...
Configuring gst-plugins
//usr/lib/ipkg/info/gst-plugins.postinst: 14: gconftool-2: not found
//usr/lib/ipkg/info/gst-plugins.postinst: 14: gconftool-2: not found
#

Package gconf-dbus provides the binary, but gst-plugin does not depend on the package.

I'm having trouble with this feed. I added this line to my /etc/ipkg.conf file:
Code: [Select]
src gpeextras http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/sfeed/
and if I run 'ipkg update' and then try to install any of the packages by:
ipkg -t /media/ram/tmp -d sd install gpe-mini-browser

my Z locks up. Did I use the wrong syntax in the .conf file?

I have an SL-5500. I don't know how to tell my rom version, but 'uname -a' gives me:
'Linux collie 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix #1 Thu, 07 Apr 2005 13:43:26 +0200 armv4l unknown'

There's a problem with package architecture oh the feed. There are packages for armv5te and arm architecture, but only one architecture is on Packages info.

With a SL-5500 and OpenZaurus 3.5.3 I can not upgrade / install new packages because my architecture is arm. It should exist package info for arm architecture.

This is because the 5500 is arm4 only; my C750 has both of these archs listed.
