Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Hi all. Can someone point me to either an install file or the repository containing gnumeric? The garage.maemo.org page for it doesn't include a download file and I can't find a repository with it.

Thanks in advance.

Go to this page (might load slowly),

http://gronmayer.com/it/index.php?lang=en&system=maemo4

then insert Gnumeric into the search, and you will get your answer.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

I found it in the wiki, works just fine (so far).

Install: http://mobilevdr.garage.maemo.org/gnumeric.install

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Neither of those worked for me. It was the gronmayer site I needed and couldn't find, for some reason.

Now I just need to get ermining working again...

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

I started uploading the required packages to build gnumeric to the autobuilder for Diablo today, but it was hit by a bug in the autobuilder-scripts which prevents me from uploading bigger packages as Gnumeric.

I hope that this bug will be fixed soon, then the Gnumeric package will be available in the extras-devel repository for Diablo (pretty much the same like it is for Chinook now), afterwards i plan to promote the packages to the extras-repositories as well.

Thomas

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Hi;

I installed Diablo today. So far, all my various apps, either the chinook versions or the new Diablo ones, have installed fine.

Gnumeric is the exception. Application manager errors-out with a window that complains " Unable to download gnumeric. Application package not found".

The log reports
Clearly gnumeric wants chinook and needs a re-compile and link for Diablo.

I'm new to the SDK and am only just tonight installing my scratchbox environment; I won't be solving this one myself anytime soon! Any help greatly appreciated!

Do this.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Thanks! I had forgotten about the Gronmayer repos.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

anyone else having problems with libglade?

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Yes. Now I need:flash and reboot, initfs-flasher, kernel-diablo-flasher, ogg-support.
they don't show up at gronmayer. Http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.php

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Yes, i know about this issue, the problem ist that the autobuilder picked up the build-dependency libglade2-dev from extras, which contains libglade 2.6, while libglade 2.4 is preinstalled on the tablets, this results in the dependency on libglade 2.6 on the final package, but the application manager refuses to update libglade2 on the tablet.

I will look into this issue this evening, my guess is that i will have to rebuild Gnumeric in my scratchbox and have to upload it by hand, without using the autobuilder.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Every Diablo user must run apt-get -f install once to fix it.
Full explanation here.

Edit: correction, this fixed the other application packages I was having trouble with, but not the libglade2. Thanks Chelli for your work on this.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Sorry, but it seems that i can not solve this issue today, the only way to solve this in a relative short amount of time, would be to build it in scratchbox locally and upload it to a repository other than diablo-extras-devel, because direct uploads to diablo-extras-devel are not allowed anymore and building it in the autobuilder causes problems with libglade.

I allready sent a mail to the maemo-developers mailinglist, asking for comments, but is guess it will take some time until this issue will be solved.

Maybe i will upload a fixed version to my private repository tomorrow, i will keep you updated.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

My 2 cents... The new "hey! there are updates available!" keeps popping up. It lists gnumeric, but right there on the problems tab, it complains about libglade. <sigh>.

At least gnumeric seem to run ok.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

The problem with the uninstallable Gnumeric should be fixed now, the version of libglade2-0 which caused the problems was removed from diablo-extras and diablo-extras-devel and Gnumeric was recompiled against the old libglade, so it is installable again.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

App manager keeps saying libpcre3 is not installable so I can't install Gnumeric.

How did the rest of you get it to work?

(I don't have any Chinook repositories enabled)

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

It should be working now, i did not know about the problem until a few hours ago, because i got libpcre3 from the tools-repository, which s primarily intenden for developers.

Anyway, i uploaded libpcre3 to extras-devel now, so you should not see problems anymore.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

why is it, when gnumeric is installed on diablo and i tap what cell i want to type in and then i have to tap the text bar at the top instead of just being able to tap the cell and start typing????

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

This behaviour is not different to the behaviour on Chinook, but it is a known problem. According to the author of the original port of Gnumeric to Maemo, Eduardo Lima (etrunko), this was done to avoid problems with the onscreen-keyboard of the 770 and N800. Of course it is not so important for the N810, but i have not yet found the place where i would have to tweak the code to change this behaviour.

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

I'm also facing the problem with missing libpcre3 when trying to install gnumeric from diablo extras. Seems that libpcre3 only exists in extras-devel.

libpcre3 should be in extras soon

Re: Installing Gnumeric on Diablo
 

Thanks, i just checked the promotion interface and wondered why pcre3 was not listed there anymore. :)
Seems that i forgot to promote this package when i promoted Gnumeric and its dependencies to extras.
