Installed Pdaxrom, Think I Already Messed It Up
« on: November 16, 2006, 07:59:16 pm »
I installed PDAXROM on my C3000 last night and I really like it so far.  I have no idea what I have done but the package installer will no longer display any of the installed packages.  I dont even know who I did this.  I was installing packages and afterwards all "installed packages" are not listed.  Can someone help me out here.

that didnt work.  I did notice the "install to" in the package manager wont let me select anything.  It used to let me select the large chunk of space available before.  I have no idea how this has happened

which feeds are selected ?
Make sure you have a valid feed.

Then press "reload" button, you will have packages available.

If you still can't choose where to install, just select a (small) available package, click "install button" -> you will see some errors in the log window and after that you'll be able to select where you want to install.

I always seem to run into trouble with the gui package manager. Recommend you learn how to do it from the command line, heres a few basics:

list installed packages on root:
ipkg-link list /

search for package icewm:
ipkg list |grep icewm

install icewm to /mnt/hdd1: (check ipkg.conf to find out install location names)
ipkg -d hdd1 install icewm

And modify /etc/ipkg.conf to install feeds and change/view install locations. Don't forget to run ipkg update after!

I have these commands mapped to aliases as I use them all the time, you may want to do the same

I did try a reboot, I wouldn't post here if the answer was that simple.  I tried the ipkg update command as well with no luck.  I ended up reinstalling Beta2 instead since I didnt want to mess with it anymore.  Again I know the issue was that that large chuck of free hard drive space had "disappeared".  You couldnt even choose the CF or SD card in the "install on" secion of the GUI.

I have one other question.  I have installed packages from the new application thread on this site.  Almost all of them dont work complaing about libxxxxx.so.x missing.  Is there a feed that has most of these libs?

I too have run into the original posted problem - a few days ago I noticed that I only had one destination available for installations, where I was sure there had previously been several.  

Then the following day there are NO destinations, NO packages available, NO packages listed as installed.

ipkg from command line is helpless as well.

Turns out that /etc/ipkg.conf is empty...  Don't know how it managed that, but if someone could post ipkg.conf from r121 I'd really appreciate it...

I know that early versions of the graphical package manager were pretty hopeless and I recall similar problems to this being caused by it - perhaps this is still the case? You can use the command line tool quite happily (once /etc/ipkg.conf is rebuilt). As far as I know all versions use the same layout for the file:

Code: [Select]
src
dest root /
dest (With as many src and dest entries as you like)
