[2008.12] Enlightenment not starting anymore.
Angstrom is up to svnr27988 now so I'm guessing that's exactly where it got
that. It's a BAD idea to do an upgrade from a 'foreign' repo - pulling
specific packages from a different feed is one thing, but letting it
autonomously replace whatever it wants is a recipe for a broken system...
take a look with opkg list_installed | grep e-wm and see what version of
e-wm is currently in place.
You tried opkg -force-downgrade install
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk;
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk%22
and it failed?Either it's already/still installed (the 27988 version)
or Angstrom is still in the opkg repo lists in /etc/opkg, so if that failed
maybe try opkg -force-depends remove e-wm;opkg install
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk;.

You can open up an ipk with ar x {pkgname.opk} which will give you
control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz (the latter contains the files) but I'd
advise against trying to install most things that way...

I thought I didn't do an 'opkg upgrade' with the angstrom repository
included. But as we see, I did get the angstrom e-wm at some point. So
that must indeed have happened.
Let's first look at my current opkg repositories:
r...@om-gta02:/etc/opkg# grep . *
Multiverse-feed.conf:src/gz daily-Multiverse
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse
all-feed.conf:src/gz om-dev-all
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/all

arch.conf:arch armv4t 21

om-gta02-feed.conf:src/gz om-dev-om-gta02
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/om-gta02
This seems fine to me. So I do an update:
r...@om-gta02:~# opkg update
Downloading http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/Packages.gz
Inflating http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/Packages.gz

Updated list of available packages in /var/lib/opkg/om-dev-om-gta02
So now I try to install the suggested package:
r...@om-gta02:~# opkg -force-downgrade install

Multiple packages (e-wm and e-wm) providing same name marked HOLD or

Installing e-wm (0.16.999.050+svnr37988-r0.1) to root...
Collected errors:
* ERROR: Package e-wm (parent e-wm) is not available from any configured src.
* Failed to download e-wm. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?
Which failed. Let's see if there is an e-wm installed:
r...@om-gta02:~# opkg list_installed | grep e-wm
r...@om-gta02:~# opkg -force-depends remove e-wm
No packages removed.
So, as far as I can see, the package is in fact not installed. (I did
remove it earlier to try to fix the problem).
As we see, I don't have the angstrom repository included (anymore), I
have run an opkg update and installing the package still wants the
newer version. From where does opkg get the information that there is
a newer version? There is also no e-wm currently installed on the
system. Where does this leave me? What would be a plausible next step?
Another question. When I wanted to install mplayer, which I didn't
find in the normal repository, I could of course just install the opk
file directly, but then I would not be notified of any updates on that
package. So how would I be able to keep the angstrom repository
without letting it upgrade all the other packages as well?
Thanks for the help so far.

I'm not sure how that happened, unless you added a repository to the config. (check in /etc/opkg) svnr36882-r14.01 is the latest in the OM2008 repository, which matches with the svn versions of the other enlightenment packages you're seeing in 'opkg list', I don't know where it's getting the reference to svnr37988-r0.1... When you run 'opkg upgrade' or 'opkg list' it's NOT looking at the repository itself, it's looking at the package list locally on the FreeRunner that is constructed during 'opkg update'. THAT list contains a 'newer' version of e-wm (37988) so it picks that one, being the newest, but cannot actually find the package in the repository when it tries to download. For a quick fix (which might fix enlightenment but not address the cause of this problem) try: opkg install http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk opkg install http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm-theme-default_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm-theme-default_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk That second one is the 'real' fix to your original issue - it contains /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/default.edj. I looked in my NAND (I usually run SHR from uSD but have 2008.12 on NAND) and sure enough there are illume.edj and asu.edj in that folder, no default.edj. I can only assume that they'd reconfigured it to use asu.edj instead of default.edj, but that a newer e-wm requires default.edj again. But again, none of this answers why it's looking for a newer svn version of e-wm than is actually in the repository, which makes me suspect that a repo was added somehow that contains the svnr37988-r0.1... It's not in 2008.8 repo, testing, or unstable AFAICS. So the steps I'd suggest are try manually installing the two packages noted above, then take a look in /etc/opkg and see what repositories are referenced, remove any inconsistencies, then try 'opkg update' and 'opkg upgrade'. j -- Joel Newkirk http://jthinks.com http://jthinks.com/ (blog) http://newkirk.us/om http://newkirk.us/om (FR stuff) Thanks for you quick reply. What you wrote could indeed be true. I remember I tried installing mplayer that day, which I didn't find in the repositories. But I did find it in the angstorm repository. So I added this repository, updated, installed mplayer and removed it (the repository). I've checked and double-checked my current /etc/opkg files, and they seem sane. Also compared with what is on the flash-image. So, if this is the case, how do I make opkg forget what the no longer included angstrom repository says about available packages? I tried deleting /var/lib/opkg/*, 'opkg update' and both versions of e-wm still show up on list. I tried installing the package you suggested: $ opkg install http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk Downloading http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.043+svnr36882-r14.01_armv4t.opk Multiple packages (e-wm and e-wm) providing same name marked
[2008.12] Enlightenment not starting anymore.
Hey. I have a problem with starting enlightenment. Unfortunately I do not know what caused it to stop working. I shut down the phone one day and everything was seemingly working. Then two days later I wanted to play with the openmoko again and booted up, but it stopped in text-mode. With some help from IRC, I figured it is enlightenment not starting. Enlightenment seemingly can't find it's prefix directory. Setting the environment-variable E_PREFIX to /usr (which is the hard-coded default anyway), it gives a clue. It is looking for the file /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/default.edj, which does not exist. But this is strange, as it didn't exist on the jffs2 flash image either. I thought something had gone wrong with enlightenment, so I decided to reinstall e-wm by using opkg e-wm remove. This was not possible without removing most of the installed software on the phone, so I decided to ignore its dependencies by using: $ opkg remove e-wm -force-depends Then I wanted to installed it again from repository: $ opkg install e-wm Installing e-wm (0.16.999.050+svnr37988-r0.1) to root...

Changing layout of Qtopia predictive keyboard
Hello. I am wondering if and how it is possible to change the keyboard layout of the Qtopia predictive keyboard. I've tried to search around, but only find info on the Matchbox and Rasters Illume keyboard. I'm running 2008.testing. 1) How can I change the keyboard layout of the Qtopia predictive keyboard? I assume it is possible, I just didn't find out how yet. The layout can't be hardcoded in the source code, can it? If it's not possible, the next question will be 2) How can I use Rasters Illume keyboard without using Illume theme as can be specified in /etc/enlightenment/default_profile? If I use the illume theme, enlightenment crashes way too often and because of it, it's quite unusable. Thanks for any help.

[2008.x] 'opkg upgrade' interrupted.
Hey all. I'm was just installing a stable 2008.9 image. The only changes made is that a terminal is installed and the /etc/opkg/* is changed to pointing to the testing repository instead. Then, from the local terminal, I run opkg update and then opkg upgrade. The upgrade is working for some good 20-30 minutes downloading and installing new packages until X is shut down. Apparently opkg wanted to restart X or something? Then I figure I'll do it over ssh instead, so I log in and run 'opkg upgrade' again. To my surprise I see that it starts all over again, downloading and installing (?) the same packages over again. Didn't the previous upgrade just do that? Are the downloaded and installed files stored in a temporary directory in the meantime? I checked the used disk-space and found it to be only 81-82 MB. Didn't check how much was used before the first run though. Or does the opkg wait with updating its database of installed packages until the complete upgrade has finished? Which means I by now actually have the latest and greatest, just opkg doesn't know it is? Anyway, the upgrade via ssh failed miserably as well. Of course dropbear had to be restarted, I lost connection and opkg was interrupted (again). Next try is screen, which is currently running, downloading and installing the exact same packages done by the previous two upgrades. Is there some way to make opkg continue where interrupted or some way of specifying I don't want a certain service restarted (like dropbear) ? -Ivar Mossin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[2008.x] 'opkg upgrade' interrupted.
One possible way round this is to run your upgrade within a screen session. The upgrade will continue even if you get disconnected from the session, in which case you can reconnect later. That's what I did just now. Although I was a bit scared when I saw this: Configuring dropbear System startup links for /etc/init.d/dropbear already exist.

I don't know why, but somehow I did actually try 'screen -R' anyway, even though I saw the list was empty. And it did actually work. :) I wouldn't call this a solution though, just a work-around. -Ivar Mossin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
