Help installing Garnet VM (Classic Palm emulator) under PR1.3
 
Hi

I'm having trouble installing the Garnet VM .deb - I've downloaded from http://www.access-company.com/, but when I try to:
Code:
dpkg-i garnet-vm_1.0.5b_ITOS2009_armel.deb
I get this:
Code:
(Reading database ... 44748 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace garnet-vm 1.0.5b (using garnet-vm_1.0.5b_ITOS2009_armel.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement garnet-vm ...
Setting up garnet-vm (1.0.5b) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/garnet-vm.postinst: line 22: maemo-select-menu-location: not found
I think this might be related to PR1.3, as I installed and used the same deb under PR1.2 without problems.

Any help appreciated
Thanks

That's normal - maemo-select-menu-location isn't present on Maemo 5. That shouldn't prevent Garnet from installing or working though - does it retry the post-install script if you do "apt-get -f install"?

Yeah, you'll see that error for any application where it was packaged for older versions of Maemo.

Just ignore it, the application still installs and will show up in your app menu.

Just type "dpkg -l | grep -i garn"

And you'll see it as installed ever with the maemo-select-menu error.

Ah yes - it has installed (doh!)

It just hasn't created the icon, but I think I can work that one out.

For anyone else's future reference, run /usr/bin/gvm/gvmlauncher to run it.

Yeah - that means it did install and the message was just a warning (you can allow lines in the post-install script to fail without it actually erroring out the entire script). If the script does error then it'll get rerun every time you do "apt-get -f install" (or install any other packages) until the error gets fixed.
