Original post
http://my-symbian.com/forum/viewtopi...=383460#383460

just copy what I wrote there...

I've finally made following the steps explained here, and works pretty well, now I have some problems.

- Nitdroid not have very good wifi signal and do not know why the AP to my router did not detect it, but this next to the router, however it found other networks. Well but this is not for this topic.

- Another problem is that I am a kernel-power off, and when I kernel-config to install a aplicaccion, I get the error:

please make sure That kernel-power is installed and running.
if You Have just installed the kernel, You Need to shutdown and boot to activate it.
To reinstall the kernel power user run:
'Apt-get install - reinstall kernel-kernel-power power-flasher'

Well I think the solution is, in this post, installing a couple of things, I do not know if I'm right.

http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?...ge;topic=106.0

Code:

apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
dpkg-i / home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/multiboot-kernel-power_0.3_armel.deb

And this brings me to the main error, is that because I installed backupmenu without bootmenu now apt-get install gives me errors and i cant upgrade anything too.

: You Might want to run 'apt-get-f install' to correct these.
The Following Packages Have unmet dependencies:
backupmenu: Depends: bootmenu-n900 But it is not installed
E: unmet dependencies. try using -f.

I can somehow make apt-get and not ask me again, install bootmenu because it is not necessary. It could change in some way to bootmenu not ask me to install bootmenu?

when I finally everything works, I'll make a guide to run everything.

I've finally make it to work with kernel-power too !!!!!

I first removed backupmenu.

Code:

apt-get remove backupmenu

after I installed.

Code:

apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
apt-get install kernel-power-multiboot

after this, I installed again following the steps backupmenu pvanbeek and Michal Jerz, but this time I only made 2 steps.

Code:

dpkg --force-depends-i ./backupmenu_0.56-1_all.deb
cp /opt/maemo/usr/bin/gnu/tar /usr/share/backupmenu/

and that's it, now I have everything working, and you can overclock and added an entry to multiboot.

now there are 4 entries

1 maemo stock
2 maemo kernel-power
3 nitdroid
4 backupmenu

Although I still have the error:

: You Might want to run 'apt-get-f install' to correct these.
The Following Packages Have unmet dependencies:
backupmenu: Depends: bootmenu-n900 But it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. try using-f.

Even so, apt-get update gives me no errors and it seems that applications are installed the same even if I leave the error.

So thats will have installed kernel-power, will need to install ...

Code:

apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
apt-get install kernel-power-multiboot

Before performing the steps to install backupmenu without bootmenu-n900

I suppose that this can be resolved at least in two ways:

Install manually backupmenu without using dpkg. This can be done extracting scripts (2 files) from deb archive and copying them to /usr/share/backupmenu
Modify backupmenu deb archive and remove dependency from BootMenu. Then reinstall (dpkg) deb archive

this is what i get..

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs# dpkg --force-depends-i ./backupmenu_0.56-1_all.deb
dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `depends-i'

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages[*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL)[*].

Options marked[*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !

I just posted a "manual install" instruction on the last page of my BackupMenu topic that might interest you guys - Note, however, that if you go this route you won't be able to automatically upgrade to the latest version with apt-get or the package manager - You'll have to manually upgrade it by running the same steps again.
Link to the topic's in my signature.

BackupMenu works correctly with multiboot (with multiboot patched) but it works at one condition.

The last booted OS before BackupMenu MUST BE MAEMO.

The ITEM script proposed doesn't suggest to multiboot a kernel to use, so multiboot uses the last flashed kernel.
If you will run BackupMenu after you have used Nitdroid or MeeGo, BackupMenu will not start correctly.

In these cases you must before boot to Maemo Os and then reboot to use BackupMenu
Or multiboot script must be changed to assure that BackupMenu will always be started with a Maemo's kernel (stock or power kernel)
