Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

I have all ready run fsck /dev/mmcblk1p2 since it is the linux boot partition. My file system was clean.

the output of ls -l /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 26383969 Aug 6 21:59 /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2

It is a Patriot 1GB card

Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

I have changed permissions for this file so that everyone can read, write and execute this file and that did not work.:confused:

chmod ugo+rwx /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2

Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

file size looks fine and permissions were fine before you changed them.

provide the following output

sudo su -

cd /

tar jxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2

(if this fails, provide this output also)

mkdir /root/tmp

cd /root/tmp

tar jxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/OPEN-ROX6.tar.bz2

I have becomeroot installed so I type sudo gainroot to enable a root shell. When I try to open a shell with the sudo su - command it asks for a password and I do not remember setting one up. However after I have root access I try to extract with above command and the output is always 'Permission Denied'. The same occurs when I do it under the directory /root/temp.

Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

sudo su - only works if you added the ALL=ALL line to /etc/sudoers

Last line of sudoers file

user ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This is not needed though, it will work with "sudo gainroot" also

Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

I am unable to use the tar command at all and I am unsure why. I tried to extract a different file and same problem. So sudo gainroot should have done the trick is what your saying. I am thinking a complete reflash should fix this but I really don't want to do that.

Default theme I believe, yes. Just a vanilla install from your tarball.

Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

I found that when I switched to Openbox, the windows manager was missing. If I changed to boot to Openbox, then I experienced the fun reboot experience! (BTW - Just quickly go to Tools -> Hildon -> reboot to hildon and you're ok).

grep -fe | grep openbox returned no results, this confirmed my lack of windows manager.

Ran the recommended
sh -x /usr/bin/swm.sh
from SSH and found a bunch 'o errors, such as:

Make sure you install libxpm4

In the end, I believe I figured it out:

apt-get install --reinstall python2.5

Rebooted. Could have been the reinstall of python, it may have been the installation of libxpm4. Hope this helps anyone running into problems.

Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

Couple of problems I've noticed:

1) Can't run some applications, like maemo-mapper. I get osso_initialize failed.

2) Skype doesn't appear to work. Gets a segmentation fault.

3) X Forwarded clients don't appear to properly respect the screen size. If I maximize, they extend much larger than the screen.

4) I would really like to get the new Mozilla browser working. Any suggestions?

BTW - X Forwarding is amazingly fast.

Re: OPENBOX-ROX Now Available
 

BTW - here's some example output I'm getting when starting various applications:

user:~$ maemo-mapper
osso_initialize failed.
user:~$ maemopadplus
maemopadplus[2463]: GLIB ERROR ** default - file main.c: line 76 (main): assertion failed: (data->osso)
