This is kind of off-topic but I just want to share how I got kernel-power-settings to install after I installed the updated multiboot:

1. I downloaded the kernel-power-settings package from here: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...0.11_armel.deb
Then I saved it to MyDocs.

2. Then, opened the terminal and entered the following commands.

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i --force-depends kernel-power-settings_0.11_armel.deb

It produced some warnings/errors but when I run the kernel-config command, it runs. And I was able to get back to the 'ideal' setting.

HTH.

P.S. Help thread please.

Any suggestions?




I was trying to install nano via cli, got an error. Also tried using fapman to update Plastic theme pack.

After running apt-get -f install (and letting it remove kernel-power-settings) overclocking in maemo fails to work. Upon reboot, it reverts back to normal 600mHz.

Code:

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs/downloads/nitdroid# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kernel-power-settings: Depends: kernel-power-flasher (>= 2.6.28-maemo25) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Any ideas. I'd like to play with nitdroid, but I also want to o/c maemo.

Now onto a solution. This works for me - I take no responsibility if you brick your phone. Assume that all these commands need you to be root. You can either sudo gainroot or use sudo. Your call.

First remove kernel-power-settings. We can't keep it in place while we want to install new apps etc.

dpkg -r kernel-power-settings

Next we need to get the contents of the package extracted. First move your kernel-power deb to somewhere temporary.

mv /home/user/MyDocs/kernel-power-settings_0.11_armel.deb /home/user/MyDocs/tmp

(please note if the tmp dir doesnt exist you will need to create it)

Ok now we have it in a temp dir lets extract it.

cd /home/user/MyDocs/tmp
dpkg-deb -x kernel-power-settings_0.11_armel.deb /home/user/MyDocs/tmp

Now you should see in that directory two new dirs. One will be called usr and one called etc

You now need to copy the contents of those folders into the system. For example.

cp /home/user/MyDocs/tmp/etc/event.d/* /etc/event.d

Once you have done this the last step is to change the perms on the two binaries.

chmod +x /usr/sbin/kernel-*

Thats about it. Now keep in mind this means you wont get update notifications about kernel-power etc as you are essentially just copying files and not installing the package itself.

Ok I'm confused now so I'll write shortly what I have done.

I was using kernel-power before and decided to install Nitdroid with this guide:
http://www.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install

It didn't boot at the first time so (blinkink "-" in the corner) so I replaced /and files and works fine.

My only problem is that I can not boot to maemo with kernel-power. I can only choose nitdroid and maemo default kernel(via 0)

I have no item in boot menu and i thought this unworking link:
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...power37.tar.gz is the boot menu entry.

This topic is huge and i can't find what i need to do to boot in kernel-power. Is it matter of menu entry or I need to do semething else?

What was the contend of missing archive?

Code:

cd /etc/multiboot.d/examples
ls

You are looking for something similar to Maemo-2.6.28.10-power37.item If its there, great. We can just copy this to multiboot.d

Code:

cp Maemo-2.6.28.10-power37.item /etc/multiboot.d

If not, let me know and I will talk you through creating the file manually.

Once we have the item file in place, we need to find out if the kernel is in the correct place

Code:

cd /boot/multiboot
ls

You are looking for vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37.
If this is there, you are sorted, reboot and you will have the power option in multiboot. If not, see if it is in /boot

Code:

cd /boot
ls

See if you have vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37 or zImage-2.6.28.10power37.

If you have vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37

Code:

mv vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37 /boot/multiboot

if you have zImage-2.6.28.10power37

Code:

mv zImage-2.6.28.10power37 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37

NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.02.item  NITdroid-MMCp1.item          README

All i have is:

Code:

Nokia-N900:/boot/multiboot# ls
vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1   vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.05

and

Code:

Nokia-N900:/boot# ls
multiboot

Should I reinstall kernel-power after NITDROID installation?
