Another Stupid Question, I'm Sure.
« on: August 26, 2006, 07:18:20 am »
Well, I'm flashed, I'm running, My network is working, (Tested in the Browser, plus I've been MUCKing.   ) But when I go into the Package Manager, the package list is blank (I've set it to show only uninstalled packages) I've updated the lists, it SEEMS to download the packages.gz files from the feeds, but doesn't show any packages. How can I fix this? I really could do with some software on here.

Cheers, Ferret.

Good Question. I'm on 3.5.4.2

Aha! GPE 2.7

I tried doing "ipkg install xmms" from the CLI, just as a gueess, but couldn't find any packages. That one I think WAS my stupidity.

did you do an 'ipkg update' before trying to install anything?

Using the GUI package manager is not recommended as it doesn't work (very well?). This is probably why you have few replies.

To start ruling things out, what does 'ipkg list' show you from the command line? This should indicate whether there are any package lists available locally (the ones that have been downloaded after an 'ipkg update')

Hundreds of packages. Let me guess. Here's where I do this pkg_add style, right? Does installing a package install all Deps for it?

I've just found the problem.

Interestingly, It's the problem that drove me from Solaris.

Hi Ferret

Try
Code: [Select]
ipkg list | grep xmms. This will show if your Z could see the feeds when you did the update.

I have successfully installed several packages but I'd make the following obesrvations:
Do everything from command line
There is not much space on root so you might want to get an SD card (formatted as ext2) to put your apps on. Oh, and you must remember to do
Code: [Select]
ipkg-link add afterwards
The installs can be very slow so be patient! I often leave a terminal window open just PINGing openzaurus.org to reassure myself that the comms are still up.

Best of luck.
