Pdaxqtrom /etc/xipk.conf Error
« on: April 07, 2007, 08:30:35 pm »
Warning. This will NOT be a short post. Faint of heart flee now.
You have been warned.

The short story:

I'm trying to install pdaXqtrom (Meanie's beautiful work), using the uncompressed versions of the files on a SL-C3100 with a fresh install of Cacko 1.23 Full with a 8gb Flash drive partitioned formatted roughly to the following:

hda1 10mb ext3  (mounted as hdd1)
hda2 10mb ext3  (mounted as hdd2)
hda3 512mb c WinFAT32  (mounted as hdd3)
hda4 extended
hda5 7GB ext3 (mounted as hdd4)
hda6 512mb Swapdrive (mounting at startup)

Having thoroughly and correctly edited my rc.rofilesys and hddmount I have all drives automounting at startup at thier correct mounting points etc...no problems there.  (No arrogance here, just been there-done that a bazillion times, and sometimes have nightmares about doing it in my sleep.)

The idea/goal here is to run pdaXqtrom/Debian Workstation in an uncompressed native ext2/3 environment with as little or no use of loop devices as possible. So the whole point of that massive drive /hdd4 is for this use alone.

So I created my new file called, (ingeniously), /hdd4/pdaxqtrom and dropped all my files into it along with the install script and ran the install script and I got THIS error....

.....
error:  installation directory not specified in /etc/xipk.conf

Now I am totally vexed as to what this means as I cannot even FIND such a file anywhere much less have an idea as to what I need to add to it to make things work. I feel this must be stupidly simple and I'm just missing the obvious but I can't find my way around it so please HELP ME!


NOW..
(not many ppl will read this but the important ones will.)

I've spent almost 20 hours on this problem so far because I was afraid to ask for help, and in an attempt to clear some obstacles from becoming a better person I need to face an issue with the community here that I have been dodging for QUITE a while.  

Quite a few of you who have known me for some time know that I am disabled. The truth is I suffer from a bizarre form of Lyme's disease (you get it from being bitten by a tick) and it's left me with a handful of arthritic and more importantly neurological disorders and a really, really messy spinal collumn. The important thing I'm addressing here is that the neurological problems make me forget.  Not major things.  Just details. Little things.  For example I've handled this ENTIRE project and this EXACT problem before my last relapse and I cannot remember for the life of me how I got past this tiny problem...and that 1% can be a roadblock and a half.

My apologies are for this:  I abandoned several minor projects I was working on or with after my last relapse because I was afraid to embarass myself in front of my friends here in the community and for fear that I would complicate the very projects that I was trying to further.  So I stayed away and hid from it all.  When I finally came back I was stunned to find that almost all of those projects I had been working on had been dropped due to lack of participation. I shoulder a part of that blame and I am sorry. Truly sorry.  There is much I am not fit to do, but there is much still that I can, and God knows we can always use one more beta tester at the least so I'll try my best not to let this happen again.

Thank you all and God Bless.

First off, I have never used pdaXQTrom.

My guess is that your issue is that xipk.conf doesn't know to look for hdd4 (as, by default, the microdirve has 3 partitions and flash cards usually don't have more than 2). You could probably look at its format and add in hdd4. That may help.

I have no authority to be giving help in this area, I'm just guessing and hoping that it helps.

The good news is I think you're closer than you believe to the truth. My gut tells me it's just a simple problem with the fact that the installer normally expects to find the install in /hdd3 (which I want to avoid and HAVE done successfully in the past, I just can't remember how.) Oh and just to clarify, HDD4 has already been partitioned correctly on the interior drive, it is automounting correctly, and is showing correctly System Info, File Viewer, Midnight Commander etc. just as it should.  So it's ready and available, but it might be a problem with the script not expecting it to exist.

The bad news is as I just mentioned, it's an irreconcileable problem for me since /hdd3 pretty much MUST remain FAT and can only be installed using loopback devices (which would kill performance quite a bit) in my partitioning scheme/software needs.  So I need some way to figure out how to get the script to handle the uncompressed (nonloopback device) fileversions and install on my /hdd4 partition which is formatted ext3 (and could be formatted ext2 if needed.)  So right now my problem still stands.

What about looking in the script and replacing every hdd3 with hdd4?

Good question. I don't know. I wouldn't think so as the install script doesn't appear to get far enough to actually be uncompressing anything but I suppose it's possible. I'll try to uncompress them manually. That's going to be pretty unhelpful though I fear because even once I get to them unless it's super intuitive I still won't know what to do with it once I've got it. I'll keep plugging away at it. I'm really operating at the fringe of my capability at the moment.

xipk is in meanie's ipktools_0.3.5_arm.ipk

I'll try to see if I can find xipk.conf on my Cacko Zaurus
I had pdaxqtrom installed a long time ago, and tried to look inside the archives, but they are cramfs files, and I don't really want to install it to find this file.

EDIT:
I couldn't find xipk.conf, but have a suspicion that it is related to this ipktools package.
Do a search for xipk on meanie's customisations page, it is described in some detail there.

As I recall /etc/xipk.conf is a very simple file, containing only the path which meanie's ipk tools will use as a base for installation. For example, on my 3100 I had:"/hdd2/programs/" (without the quote marks) as the sole contents of that file. When meanie's installer ran it unpacked and installed everything into that directory. Meanie's web site mentions this, but it might not leap out of the page at you. Search that page for xipk.conf and you'll see the mention.

I actually had already looked into this thought and had tried installing his ipktools pkg but it didn't change anything. I didn't think to do a direct search for xipk on his website though, that's a pretty spankin' good idea. I'll jump on it after I get back home. I hope it pays out. I'm actually completely spooked on this one. If I use the cramfs/squashfs files and install the loopback versions everything installs right up, but if I use the tgz versions I get this problem every time. I can't help but feel it's something super silly easy.  The edges of my memory seem to remind me that the installation parameters weren't as flexible for the non-loopback install, probably because at the time it took up so much space it was almost unheard of for someone to use it but the friggin' neuro damage just doesn't leave me any more of a memory of how I handled it or what I did than that little bit of info. I swear if I didn't need both my sharp proprietary purchased programs and the X environment I'd can the whole thing.  But right now I'd have to go without X and that would truly, truly suck.

I've searched the whole board and I think I'm the only nut who ever did a complete non-loopback install and ever posted details about it. It's a sad commentary that I've found several helpful answers to other probs in my previous posts...deja vu....deja vu....deja vu...

I've put out a distress call to Meanie, but he stays so busy on newer/better projects I just hated to even bother him about something like this.  He does so much for the community, I hate to bother him with simple hand holding problems.    

I'm just truly grateful he took the time out to do so many of the projects along the way.  They have opened a huge door of oportunity to those of us who could never have done the same on our own. So....whether I get this problem fixed or not...Thanks for all you do for us Meanie!

While I WOULD like to see this problem fixed for the future I would like to be forward with the fact that since posting this thread enough time passed without finding a solution that I had to take the plunge and find a different less eloquent solution for me.

I have converted my SL-C3100 over to pdaXii13 and am using it for all my X/ workstation needs and have confiscated one of the families SL-6000L's back and am using it to run all my native and propriety SHARP based software.

Having to lug around both of them is ...troubling to say the least but seems my only realisitc option unless I can figure out what is blocking my progress in this thread.

Thanks everyone,
