Details says - Application: kde-mmc1 status:broken category: user/support installed version 3.5.8-PB2 size 1.05mb. Below it on the application list is another entry - kdesup. I click details on it and it says Application: kdesup status:broken category: user/support installed version 3.5.8-PB1 size 31.5mb. I am unable to uninstall these or go on to the next step. How can I rectify this situation? I'm stumped.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I will prefice what I'm about to say with this: it is only how I see things as a non-Linux usin', non xTerm usin' idiot. But this may represent some of the things that are being taken for granted by those that understand the process better than I do.
I was gung ho to come home tonight and give this install a try. But I'm now afraid I would run into the experience you are having. If you read this whole thread very carefully I think you find that:

1. The downloaded files need to go to a specific place. I have no idea how to put them there.

2. The card might need to be formated in 'windows' I'm not sure exactly what that means. For example, I don't know if maybe a stock card comes this way or whether I need to use my XP lap top or my N800 to do this.
3. There might be confussion about whether mmc1 in the n800 means the internal card or the external card although I am assuming it means the internal card.
4. I'm not sure if the download files are zipped or not. I did try to start the install process earlier today but the first nstall file would not install. The detail said it was over 1500 GB in size. I know that doesn't make sense, but that's what it said.
5 You need to be certain that the downloaded files are the correct size. But I don't know how to use xTerm to verify this.
But I suppose if I used Buns method of downloading to my XP computer and then transfering could work, but as I said, I wouldn't know where or how to put the files in the right place.
6. Penguinbait mentions that after uninstalling this it leaves some things on the IT which may not be a big deal but I wouldn't know how to change that latter if needed.

Anyway, I guess for those that can deal with the above things this is an easy install , but not for me. I'll probably sit this one out for now. But I'll be quite interested to see where it goes.

Neil

PS- I'm quite impressed and thankful to Penguinbait for offering to help people directly. Who knows, maybe I'll take him up on that sooner or latter.

Re: KDE/Koffice Install made easy for everyone
 
G'day everybody!

Thanks for this great piece of work!
KDE is now my standard desktop environment.
I searched for a Linux app which will make a right-click possible - something like the Maemo-function...
I found this:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2004-June/001233.html (click)
And hopefully someone can use it, to built (in the best case) a working deb-file :-D
I am a total Linux-Newbie and i have no idea, if this stuff is useful or not - but i hope so...

PS: I have also the font-problem...

If I ever get an 810, #1 on my list :) if you guys beat me to it, all the better let me know. Check out xmodmap you should be able to map, not sure if anyone compiled it yet?

I really wish they had modified tslib in the first place, rather than the current per-application tap and hold.

I saw that patch before, and a few others, but none of them will work without modification, since the maemo tslib.c is different :(

If anyone's interested, I ended up writing an ugly little perl script since I couldn't find any other way to send a right-click. It interferes with applications that use tap and hold by default, such as microb, though.

1. the downloaded files need to go to a specific place. I have no idea how to put them there.
Just put the files on the card NOT IN A SUB DIRECTORY, apparently I was not specific enough

2. The card might need to be formated in 'windows' I'm not sure exactly what that means.
It should be FAT or FAT32, this is a window/dos filesystem, which is by default on SD cards when you buy them, so unless you installed linux, your fine


3. There might be confussion about whether mmc1 in the n800 means the internal card or the external card although I am assuming it means the internal card.
On my n800 mmc1 is external and mmc2 in internal


4. I'm not sure if the download files are zipped or not. I did try to start the install process earlier today but the first nstall file would not install. The detail said it was over 1500 GB in size. I know that doesn't make sense, but that's what it said.
It will create a 1.3GB file on you SD/mmc card called local.img which it mounts as /usr/local and a 128MB file called swap.img, which is your swap file. Does it really say 1500GB , my local says 1.2gb


5 You need to be certain that the downloaded files are the correct size. But I don't know how to use xTerm to verify this.
But I suppose if I used Buns method of downloading to my XP computer and then transfering could work, but as i said, I wouldn't know where or how to put the files in the right place.
Again you put the files on the card, not in any directory. So for example:
If you put the SD/mmc card in Windows, it will show up as a new drive letter. Say E: So, if I have a SD card it may have a directory "pictures" that in windows in represented as E:\PICTURES

So do not create a directory called E:\KDE and put the files in there.
Place the files in E:\ so E:\kdesup-3.5.8.deb.

FILE SIZES IN WINDOWS
[ ] KDE358.tar.bz2 -- 294M
[ ] kde-3.5.8-mmc1.deb -- 301k
[ ] kde-3.5.8-mmc2.deb -- 301k
[ ] kdesup-3.5.8.deb -- 20.3M
[ ] local-mmc1.deb -- 499k
[ ] local-mmc2.deb -- 499k

ALSO NOTE, be SURE KDE358.tar.bz2 does not get renamed as some has stated in Vista I think.


6. Penguinbait mentions that after uninstalling this it leaves some things on the IT which may not be a big deal but i wouldn't know how to change that latter if needed.

docpurge (a three line script to delete files) is not needed, from my point of view, it deletes documentation that people put in thier debs. So if I package a doc and place it in those dirs it will delete everything in that dir. If you dont want the docs, dont install the debs. Developers (or hackers) wouldnt put stuff there if you didnt need it. So a choice is made to print, or delete documentation. I actually intended to restore it but it was causing problems on reinstalls so I just axed it, because I can do that :) , packaging debs can be actually quite a tricky process.
If that is a problem, maybe KDE is just not for you :(

The other thing I chose not to remove is the sudoers file, while its very easy to add a line to a file, I am more concerned about re-writing the entire file to remove it. If something were to go wrong on the re-write process of the sudoers file your tablet would be hosed, and you would have to reflash. That was not something I was willing to risk scripting. So the line added to sudoers file allows user to run any command as root with no password, basically is another option so becomeroot.deb is not even needed. from xterm run "sudo su -" and you will become root user. Anyway I know I am losing you again, ok I am trying here ;)
So if you decide to remove KDE, if you PM me and tell me how to contact you on IM or IRC and I will walk you through how to remove your root access personally ;).


Anyway, I guess for those that can deal with those things this is an easy install , but not for me. I'll probably sit this one out for now. But I'll be quite interested to see where it goes.

Neil

As I stated in my original post THIS IS A HACK. I am offering you an experience I can't promise perfection, but I will try to help you if you have any probelms as well as others. The worst case scenario is you you have to reflash your tablet, the best case, your printing webpages and emails in about an hour.

I want to take this moment to thank you, It has been a pleasure answering your questions, I hope you find my answers helpfull and not to technical. Its hard to understand what other people do not know, I really want to make this an easy process for people to try, but as with any hack there is risk involved. How do you know I am not dropping tons of spyware or something on your tablet.. You don't, but I am a good guy, you can trust me ;)

Again answering your questions is helping many others, so thank you.

Wow that was tiring :D

Wow, Penguinbate, you are a really nice guy for sure. Taking all that time to specifically answer my posted questions has me very impressed indeed. I'll do some more home work here and give this a shot. I know you are putting a huge amount of time into this. In the end I'll want to support you with a donation and or a beer.

Cheers:D

Thank you so much penguinbait, you have no idea how great you are to take the time to help all us novices out.

I never thought I could have such a robust operating system on my N800 until now (it's like a mini laptop now!). Keep up the great work, I have much respect for you...

Re: KDE/Koffice Install made easy for everyone
 
Penguinbate,

I downloaded the mmc2 files to my lap top tonight. When I right click and then click properties I get the following file sizes:

local-mmc2.deb size 173 kb ( 177,879 bytes)
size on disk 176 kb ( 180,224 bytes)

Kde-3.5.8-mmc2.deb
size 165 kb ( 169,119 bytes)
size on disk 168 kb ( 172,032 bytes)

Kdesup-3.5.8.deb
size 20.2 MB (21,260,684 bytes)
size on disk 20.2 MB ( 21,262,336 bytes)

KDE 358.tar ( this was the way my windows xp showed it. It obviously stripped the .bz2 )
size 139kb ( 142,826 bytes)
size on disk 140 kb ( 143,360 bytes)

These are quite different sizes than you have listed earlier. Do you have any idea what's happening ?
I'll try the download again to see if I get different numbers.

Neil

Re: KDE/Koffice Install made easy for everyone
 
The server is arbitrarily cutting off the transfers. I tried about 8 times tonight and got a different size every time. I'm now trying again with the .bz2 from last night, and fresh copies of the others. All files have the exact size penguinbait indicated, but then they were the correct size last night, when it would never install. I checked the sizes at least 3 times last night, and again repeatedly tonight. All the files I have are the exact size, to the byte, that penguinbait said they should be on the first page of the thread. Tonight, though, the .bz2 file is impossible to download.

Yes, It appears that the single easiest way to make this install easier would be to make the downloads more reliable somehow. I am only getting about half the file size except for the Kdesup-3.5.8.deb file which has been accurate.

@jonmle, had the same problem last night, every time different size. At the end, I decided to save files using firefox on my notebook, transfered files to sdhc (as someone already mentioned in this topic), and then installed kde.

Opened ticket with hosting company, which my account is 14days old and has served 100GB already, but not even close to my restriction, so either they fix this or I cancel and move, which is a pain, even after only two weeks.

We'll see please be patient :confused:

Penguinbait, alas it is too late. I've already successfully downloaded the files and installed KDE!

This is simply AWEsome!:D BRAVO!

First of all, it was really quite simple to download and install the files. I did have an incomplete file at first, but the size comparison made it easy to see what was wrong and I downloaded it to my PC then moved it to my N810. Install was a snap after that.

Since I've never seen KDE until now it was (and will continue to be) quite a learning experience...I was up quite late last nite:p but this is just the sort of thing I love to do. Puts me in the target demographic I guess!

Next I want to thank you for patiently monitoring this thread and helping us out with the kinks. I really do appreciate your personal effort and hope there is some way I can contribute to the cause, so to speak. Do you have a donation mechanism? Or should I just write your name on a $20 and put it in the mail?:eek:

Finally I have one question....possible bug? I noticed that my usb host mode script does not seem to be working post-KDE. I have commands to switch modes set up in osso-status-bar and they were working just prior to the KDE install. Now, alas, nothing happens when I plug a usb drive into my N810. When I plug it into a PC, I get the 'Memory card in use...' pop-up error message, though I am able to see the files on the PC. You mentioned editing the sudoers file, I believe. Might there be
something here I've done, or more likely, need to re-do, like re-install the scripts? Thanks again for your good work, kind sir!

Re: KDE/Koffice Install made easy for everyone

I had the short read on the tablet only. I tried twice and the second time convinced me to try it on the PC, which worked.

EDIT: PS I want to report that I too have the font problem in MicroB.

wow people downloaded 40206447 kilobytes = 39264.1084 megabytes = 38GB of KDE files yesterday alone

And 44GB the day before, I am thinking this is the problem with the short reads on the files

Downloading from PC (IE 6 on XP SP2 (currently @ work)).

With the exception of local-mmc2.deb, they all downloded fine.

local-mmc2.deb reports a size of 168119.

Second try fixed it.

Thanks for all of your work!

My experience last night was that I had to try several times to get my XP lap top to download the complete file. I would just keep doing downloads and then dumping the bad files until it worked. This would not work with the tar file. I had better luck downloading that one directly to the N800, but it took about an hour to download the 294 mb file. I thought it was better to do it that way anyway though because Windows was messing around with the Tar file name. These downloads became easier the later in the evening that it was, so yes I just think the server is having trouble wih the traffic volume. I couldn't download the tar file until after 12:30 AM It's just too darn popular PB :D Thanks again for doing this work Penguinbait.

Hello, yesterday i tried to install kde packages, at the first time the package local-mmc2.deb exit with error when i tried to install it, but i have look inside the postinst script and I change this line "echo y|mkfs.ext2 /media/mmc2/local.img" in
"mkfs.ext2 -F /media/mmc2/local.img", in this mode the command do the file system and i can install other packages. Very beautiful kde on n800, Compliments!

Re: KDE/Koffice Install made easy for everyone
 
Ok, if you follow these intall directions precisely it will install:

1) Verify correct file sizes (as you have)

2) Put the .deb files on the mmc/sd that you ARE NOT installing onto(in my case I was installing onto the internal mmc2 on my n800, so I put the .debs in the external mmc1)

3) Put KDE358.tar.tar (KDE358.tar.bz2) on the mmc/sd you ARE installing to (in my case mmc2)

3.5***) If you're .bz2 file downloaded as KDE358.tar.tar you MUST RENAME THE FILE KDE358.tar.bz2

4) Now install the .debs in the correct order as posted by PB, and don't get anxious (they take several minutes to download)

I did it in one run, if you follow these instructions(however painfull), you can too. ;)

sungrove 2008-01-11 20:57
Re: KDE/Koffice Install made easy for everyone
 
Success!!!! Thanks Penguinbait! I proceeded with using the files I downloaded last night by transfering the .deb files from my lap top to my Nokia n800. As I said in my previous post, I had downloaded the tar file late last night directly to my Nokia. When I transfered the .deb files the names got changed a bit at the end of the name, but that apparently didn't matter. File manager was giving me some weird detail that wasn't accurate during the install, but again that didn't end up mattering. I haven't tried MicroB yet, but I do notice that in KDE there are occasional white g letters that look like the screen shot of the google page I think posted earlier in this thread where the top of the g is missing. But overall it looks fine.
I had no hickups with the install. I simply got the files onto the internal card without a special folder. I'm using a Transcend 8 GB SDHC interal card. I feel like if I can do this install anyone can. You just need to pay attention to the details involved. But wow, I'd say the time spent is totally worth it. Now to learn how to use it.

Re: KDE/Koffice Install made easy for everyone
 
Oh, and restart the tablet when you're done installing. Mine had all kinds of glitches until I did. BUT once you restart your font in MicroB will be changed (but I kind of like it, it seems to make pages load quicker?). I hope the list of install instuctions help, and thanks again PB for this killer app.

Hmm , I don't have glitches yet. Web pages look normal. Maybe I'll just leave it on from now on so the fonts won't change.

Is it possible to add apps to KDE (i.e., KTorrent) on the n800? Forgive me if this has already been asked/posted.:rolleyes:

As I said in my previous post, I had downloaded the tar file late last night directly to my Nokia. When I transfered the .deb files the names got changed a bit at the end of the name, but that apparently didn't matter. File manager was giving me some weird detail that wasn't accurate during the install, but again that didn't end up mattering. I haven't tried MicroB yet, but I do notice that in KDE there are occasional white g letters that look like the screen shot of the google page I think posted earlier in this thread where the top of the g is missing. But overall it looks fine.
I had no hickups with the install. I simply got the files onto the internal card without a special folder. I'm using a Transcend 8 GB SDHC interal card. I feel like if I can do this install anyone can. You just need to pay attention to the details involved. But wow, I'd say the time spent is totally worth it. Now to learn how to use it.

Neil ; )

Congrats, I am glad you decided to take the plunge.

This is where some support from Nokia could be very timely IMHO. This is a lot of work for one guy me thinks. I've been wondering why Nokia didn't initiate this project and make it their operating system, but then I don't know how such things work. Meanwhile PB has plenty to do. I sent you some cash via Paypal PB.

Hi! I've the same problem of Naidu9. So, my question is: ``How can I uninstall the broken kde-mmc1 and kde-mmc2 from my N800?''

Thanks a lot. :)

Yeah, this is quite a feat for just one person. If I knew how to port KDE I sure would help, but unfortunately I can't :(

Thanks for a cool OS!
