 Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 4:21 pm Post subject: kfax for 4.5 OCE |
 |
|
4.1 pro had kfax installed but 4.5 OCE does not. I tried to install but not found in the xandros repos?? found it in backports and mepis repos but when I mark for install it says it wants to remove a lot of xandros specific stuff?? no go for me. Found it also in geekyudude repo and when I mark for install it says depends libqt3c102-mt. I found that and tried to install but it wants to remove a bunch of stuff?? why so much fuss over a little program like kfax. If it was in 4.1 pro, why can not it be installed in 4.5 OCE?

"Debian Sarge" (Xandros Desktop 3.0/4.0) uses dependies which "Debian Etch"
(Xandros 4.5/EeePC/Server 2.0) doesnt. "DEB-files" normally contains necessary
information for the APT-system so it can take care of dependency issues.
Anyway, take the "Xandros 4.1" package and use the "Alien-trick" (DEB>RPM>DEB).
It should take care of the problem.

I have tried the alien trick and for the life of me cannot get it to work. I always get file not found but I enter the deb file exactly as it is and still it always comes back file not found. Do not know what I am doing wrong.

Result of copying and converting "kfax" from "XD41" CD:
| Code: | xandros:~/kfax# ls
kfax_3.4.2.13-2_i386.deb
xandros:~/kfax# alien -r --scripts *.deb
kfax-3.4.2.13-3.i386.rpm generated
xandros:~/kfax# alien --scripts *.rpm
kfax_3.4.2.13-4_i386.deb generated
xandros:~/kfax# dpkg -i kfax_3.4.2.13-4_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package kfax.
(Reading database ... 188883 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking kfax (from kfax_3.4.2.13-4_i386.deb) ...
Setting up kfax (3.4.2.13-4) ... |
Start command is "kfax" (no qoutes).
Hopes this helps...

OK, so you do not have to do the alien trick for digikam, just get from one of these repos and install?

Those repositories worked at least with the first release of "XD4.5".
Recommends "Synaptic" (what else) for such excercises...

Alright! Amarok, aka Music Manager, and Digikam, aka Photo Manager, installed and working from those repos. Thanks.

Wow is DigiKam nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Doctore for the repos list. BTW: looks like the tuxfamily site has some issues.
Also, I didn't even know if I had a chance with this digital camera-Bell & Howell BH41. DigiKam picked it up-listed it as an Argus DC-2200-and I was able to get the images and such. lsusb lists it as a : Tiger Electronics Fast Flicks Digital Camera. I was really hoping the DigiKam team was going to come though with this. When they listed over 900 digital camera's through the Gphoto2 project, I had reason to hope.
So much for needing this on my XP Pro partition to work!

Some of the packages at http://download.tuxfamily.org/ are compiled against
newer dependies, than standard in "Xandros 4.5". In that case, enable an/some
"EeePC" repository/ies to get the correct package. Recommends "Synaptic"
and its "Download Package Files Only" function to test these.

Thanks Doctore!
I will try them. Please note that the tuxfamily sites give me a public key error when I try to apt-get update or reload on Synaptic.
Regards,
James
