[shr] i did something really stupid...help needed with opkg
yeah, like really really dumb. i've been taking a few packages from debian and installing them on my shr system. all was going well, until i got to libc6. here i should have stopped - this is a pretty critical part of any system, unlike gphoto and other trivial stuff that i'd installed previously my system works fine as far as i can tell - it boots, everything runs fine, but at every opkg update opkg upgrade i get this: Multiple packages (libc6 and libc6) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER.

Re: lowering gps sampling rate
Longer sampling rate does not save that much energy as expected. Also refer to this [1]. Omgps uses fixed 1Hz send rate for now, but ever tested a lot (even FIXNOW) before release. Incoming version will support configuring sampling rate which is implemented by sleep(). During my last trip (mountain climbing), we were told at hotel that the mountain is difficult to climb, almost no way. I did a quick hacking: To help find back way upon get lost, current position is displayed on track replay; To save a bit energy, sampling rate was increased to 5 seconds For next mountain climbing, I bought two Nokia BL-5C batteries yesterday :) [1] http://n2.nabble.com/test-result-of-battery-current-against-display-brightness-and-GPS--power-mode-tp2541178p2541178.html jeremy jozwik wrote: omgps does it. and tracks well too On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Petr Vanekvan...@penguin.cz wrote: the wiki mentions ]1[ how to increase the sampling rate of gps, is there a way to lower it to save energy during gps tracking that doesn't require such precision?
