Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

After step 3 my n900 does this :

umount: cannot umount /tmp/n950loop: Invalid argument
losetup: /tmp/n950loop: No such device or address

/usr/bin/7z: exec: line 2: /usr/lib/p7zip/7z: Too many levels of symbolic links
7z archiver not found.
On n900 it is a part of p7zip-full package
You may try to install it with "sudo apt-get install p7zip-full"
Nokia-N900:~/n900_720p#

After i rebooted i was unable to watch any movie in osso-mediaplayer.

Any help?
Thanks for the awesome job freemangordon

Enough said!

Edit the scripts variable to be /dev/loop0

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

That is not needed, this output is normal as script tries to unmount temprorary loopback device when started. Seems he has problem with 7z archiver.

SSLMM, are you able to run 7z from the command line?

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

At least that was necessary on my Debian notebook to have a loopback device that could be mounted in later stages, the /tmp/n950loop seemed to get stale :(
For 7z, try if it is installed at all, or install it.

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

Sure, but on n900 it is not needed, and he has rebooted between tries, and device is created in /tmp. Anyway, the real error is

Which means nothing to me.

@SSLMM - you may try to remove p7zip-full package before trying again:

apt-get remove p7zip-full

EDIT: Seems you have 45 packages not upgraded, on which PR are you?

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

michaaa62, in case you didn't saw it :

"p7zip-full is already the newest version."

so yes, i have it installed and tried what the error suggested me to do.

freemangordon

I'm in PR 1.3, CSSU 16.5 version 20.2010.36-2.

I'm now removing and trying again ;)

Thanks for the help

Edit: It didn't worked

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

I got exactly same errors with 7z - too many levels of symbolic links. In fact, noticed this some time ago (I can't use 7z on N900 at all). I have no idea why, and how to fix it, but it seems it's common problem.

Of course, I've tried purge and other "classic" steps, so it may be mori complicated. Or too obvious to notice :p

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

It means that maybe something with optification went wrong. This is how things look on my n900:

# cat /usr/bin/7z
#! /bin/sh
exec /usr/lib/p7zip/7z "$@"

#ls -ld /usr/lib/p7zip/7z
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 1 2011 /usr/lib/p7zip/7z -> /opt/maemo/usr/lib/p7zip/7z

# ls -ld /opt/maemo/usr/lib/p7zip/7z
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 359808 Jan 11 2010 /opt/maemo/usr/lib/p7zip/7z

Please someone having troubles with 7z to repeat the above commands (cat, ls, ls) and to compare with mine. Also did you make some changes to filesystem (ie repartitioning, re-mounting, ...)?

Also I thing a bug should be raised against p7zip-full package so if there is still an active maintainer to help on that one.

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

@Alfred, pawelstryju -
Why MyDocs is read-only? Do you have USB cable connected between your n900 and your PC?

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900
 

@freemangordon
no, i don't have the cable plugged in. I think it does it while running the script, but only sometimes. I have run the script already 4 times, nothing changed. Just deleted the karam patches and will try one more time...
Btw read-only is solved by rebooting.
