 I think An error ocurred, return value: 2. roughly translates to I 
 can't access the packages.  Have you checked that your network 
 connection works?  The usual reason for it not working is an empty 
 /etc/resolv.conf.  First you need to move the symbolic link to the 
 non-existent file out of the way:

 cd /etc
 mv resolv.conf resolv.conf.old

 Then you need to create a new /etc/resolv.conf file and put in some 
 nameserver lines so that DNS resolving works.  You can either install 
 dnsmasq on your desktop computer and then put:

 nameserver 192.168.0.200

 into your resolv.conf, or you can just copy the contents of the 
 resolv.conf from your desktop to your openmoko.
   

I'd say you are spot on, there's no connectivity to the internet. I'd 
recommend standard troubleshooting (nslookup/traceroute/ping) but it 
likely to be your resolv.conf.

udhcpc alters /var/run/resolv.conf ... so I wouldn't suggest removing 
the symlink, as a continually changing value should not be written to 
flash. I'd script something up to edit /var/run/resolv.conf or for now 
just change it manually. If you're not network hopping then 
/etc/resolv.conf is a viable alternative but be aware that you will be 
breaking typical embedded system operation, as in, other programs will 
be altering /var/run/resolv.conf when setting the network parameters ... 
well I hope :S

firstly:
- this is a support-list issue
- prefix your subject with at least the distribution you're using (2007.2,  
2008.8, fso, debian) and maybe the hardware (gta01, gta02)
to make it easier to help you


 When I run tangogps it tells me that I have no gps. It is weird because I
 have the agpsui program and it is working properly.

agpsui does not use gpsd but reads the device directly.
gpsd is in the repos -- simply install.

Does the GPS work on opentango.

2008-09-08 Thread Orlando
I tried to run the gpsd script in console, and the output tells me this.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/gpsd start
Starting gpsd: /etc/init.d/gpsd: line 96: gpsd: not found
success

When I run tangogps it tells me that I have no gps. It is weird because I
have the agpsui program and it is working properly.

This is happening with the stable image.

thanks in advance.

Orlando.

 I love meaningful error messages, to bad that isn't one.
 
 According to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Opkg#Error_Codes
 
2: Error parsing config file
 
 What ever that may mean...

I think the package databases count as config files...

Try to opkg update first.  That usually fixes it for me.
