If you go to http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.php and add Maemo Bora you should then be able to do an "apt-get install libdbus-1-2" in a terminal window

Re: File Manager

Re: File Manager
 

This script seems to take care of the dependencies for bora:

(Has this script been discussed in this forum?)

Re: File Manager
 

i am using emelfm2. it seems good so that i dont have to use xterm to copy files etc. but all i can do is really browse with it. wtf is up with permissions when i want to copy a file it says "cannot create file /usr/blah/blah/blah.file - permission denied" or when i want to delete somthing it says "cannot delete /usr/wmafsa/wa.s - Permission denied"

i have installed become root and i was able to copy my file through xterm but i want to use emelfm2.

i am using an n810 ,os2008

Re: File Manager
 

You need to be logged in as root to edit/create files in any directory other than /home/user. Try lauching emelfm from the terminal as root.

Re: File Manager
 

Ahh yes ditto cakey

You can do that with emelfm2 but you have to do the same thing....
open xterm
sudo gainroot
emelfm2

launching emelfm2 that way will run it with full root permissions, so use carefully.

i second Queen on emelFM2 , works perfectly

Re: File Manager
 

how can i make it so i can start up emelfm2 in root with out having to type it in xterm everytime.

Re: File Manager
 

On a Linux PC you would do it with 'Setuid' on the executable, but I don't know if that works on the tablet.

Re: File Manager
 

I set up emelfm2 to run as root using these steps:

1. Add the following line to "/etc/sudoers" (need to be root to edit it):
   
   Code:

   ---

   user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/lib/emelfm2/emelfm2

   ---

2. Change the "/usr/bin/emelfm2" wrapper script file to "sudo" the actual emelfm2 executable (if not being run by root):
   
   Code:

   ---

   #!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/lib/emelfm2

# Don't use 'sudo' if already root...
UID=`id -ur 2> /dev/null`
if [ $UID -eq 0 ]; then
  ./emelfm2 &
else
  sudo ./emelfm2 &
fi

   ---

   (this also puts emelfm2 into the background automatically so you'll get your shell prompt back)
