Just wait 2 weeks without upgrading on unstable, and i get 'killed' on first try. http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2009/07/02/embedded-package-managers-sucks/ If you download the package and install it via opkg by hand, it works.

I experienced that behaviour, too, 100% reproducible, so probably no coincidence. But I'd like to know what the hell opkg does there which fills all the memory?! -- Marcel Am Montag, 6.

Re: [all] navit install problems
or disable xserver I also have seen the strange behaviour that with xserver stopped and a swapfile of 128MB, i could not opkg upgrade navit, but when I typed "opkg install navit" it did work but that can be 100% coincidence On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 3:59 PM, Xavier Cremaschi wrote: > Robin Paulson a écrit : > > 2009/7/6 Christ van Willegen : > >> On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 1:09 PM, Jeffrey > >> Ratcliffe wrote: > >>> It works if you set up a swapfile. > >> Having to set up a swap file for an .ipk file of 3M in size still > >> seems unreasonable... > > > > the ipk i installed was over 5MB - i presume it expands to some huge > > size and is stored in ram. i tried the --tmpdir switch (which i > > assumed would unpack it straight to disk rather than to ram) but that > > didn't help at all > > > dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/swapfile bs=1M count=128 > mkswap /path/to/swapfile > swapon /path/to/swapfile > > then retry. > > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

[all] navit install problems
hi, i'm trying to install navit using the instructions on the wiki - i've got the feed in opkg, and when i try to install, it stops part way through and returns 'Killed'. i see from opkg.org that i'm not alone with this. i've tried shutting down the xserver to release some ram, but no joy. i've also tried using a local temp directory (i believe opkg decompresses it in in ram otherwise?) any suggestions? cheers ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
