Re: qtmoko v33
Thanks for keeping up the good work Radek. I'm currently running v31. I added the new repository to the sources.list file, did an apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade and this is what I get: Preparing to replace qtmoko 31-13 (using .../archives/qtmoko_33-1_armel.deb) ... Unpacking replacement qtmoko ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/qtmoko_33-1_armel.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/opt/qtmoko/help/html/packagemanager-view-app.html', which is also in package qtmoko-files dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/qtmoko_33-1_armel.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) What should I do to upgrade to the latest?

[qtmoko v35] Messaging DB Invalid
Thanks again Radek for your work in keeping the Freerunner dream alive. Sorry to keep bothering you, but the upgrade process never seems so straightforward for me :( This time, a completely clean install - formatted the partition on my SD card using ext3, downloaded the .tar.gz from Sourceforge and extracted it onto the card. When I boot, I get a message box saying 'Messaging DB Invalid' and 'Messaging cannot operate due to database incompatibility'. I'm not sure where the database should be - I found one post suggesting it was in ~/.qmf, but I don't have that file or directory on my system. I don't know whether it's related, but I also get a message on bootup, just before it switches into graphics mode saying something like 'No more processes at this runlevel'. Any suggestions for fixing messaging on my phone? Thanks, Bernie ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[qtmoko v35] Messaging DB Invalid
Ok, never mind - I tried again, and this time it worked... maybe I didn't unmount it properly the first time... Now my other question - what has happened to Google Contact Sync (gqsync?)? I don't seem to be able to install it with apt-get. Is it in a different repository?

Or could you explain some more about how it is misleading? The reason I ask is that I'm having an ongoing conversation with colleagues about why I continue to support projects that are working to bring us a free phone. I thought the article referenced made some convincing points, but I don't want to quote it if it's incorrect.
