Unfortunately that didn't work, although the first command does report that the EAP_wpa_preshared_passphrase is set. But is that the right field? In the interface, "WPA pre-shared key" and WPA with EAP" are two mutually-exclusive settings for "Security Method", and I'm using WPA with EAP because that's what the network uses. ///Peter ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I think you are correct. I noticed that you can install "easy debian" without all the included apps. So I think I will try that first. All I really want to be able to do is run R on the tablet and this seems like an easier way compared to trying to compile R for Maemo.

I do not have an idea but I have seen the same problem. A user was having trouble installing GPE because it required updating a dependency (I can't remember which package, maybe libsoup or sqlite). But the existing package would not uninstall, with dpkg producing exactly these errors. These errors (which are actually coming from invoke-rc.d) cannot be overridden with any --force options on dpkg. After several iterations of trying to debug the problem by email, the only solution that I eventually found was to manually remove the package.prerm file from /var/lib/dpkg/info/. After that we were able to remove the broken package and install the new version. I had assumed that this was actually either some obscure packaging bug in the (obsolete) package that was trying to be removed or a file-system corruption. It is very interesting to see the problem reported for a completely different package, on a different system. Is it worth doing a fsck to check there is no filesystem corruption? If you look at /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d (which is a shell script), in the verifyrclink function, you can see that what is failing is: test -L "/etc/rc2.d/S20httpd" and test -f "/etc/rc2.d/S20httpd" I did not have access to my user's system and they just wanted a quick fix so I never got to look around the filesystem to see why those tests might be failing.

Re: Installing Easy Debian
Doesn't Easy Debian expect that you are running from the built-in memory? Maybe it is confused since you are running from your external card. Since you are already using a custom bootloader, why not install regular Debian for the tablet? just a guess, K On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 10:16 PM, Rick Bilonick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've set up my N810 to boot from an 8GB external SDHC card.

Re: Help : Big pb with apache on Maemo Diablo
Another test - kill all the httpd processes - try to uninstall by dpkg -r httpd Same errors on invoke-rc.d: not a symlink: "/etc/rc2.d/S20httpd" invoke-rc.d: dangling symlink: "/etc/rc2.d/S20httpd" I definitevely cannot uninstall hhtpd ( anyone on this list has an idea ? ) but it works and that is why I downloaded it !

Re: Help : Big pb with apache on Maemo Diablo
Hi Tony I have made somme experiments which are a little confusing but interesting 1 ) Check the symlink /etc/rc2.d/S20httpd is really a symlink to ../init.d/httpd ../init.d/httpd ( /etc/init.d/httpd in real world ) exists and is not empty Its contents seems normal ! Conclusion : I do not understand why dpkg is saying these strange error messages ! 2 ) I try to launch httpd using /usr/bin/apachectl start I was said that "httpd is already running" Effectively if look at processes by "ps -edf" I see five httpd process running ! 3 ) I open MicroB giving the URL : http://locahost and I saw the message "It works" confirming the Web server is definitively working ! Grand conclusion : Despite the meassge in Application Manager, httpd seems to work ! It is impossible to uninstall it but maybe I have to stop the httpd processes before doing that ! In any case thanks for for your help Tony !
