[CSI] Community Software Installer 2.6.1 (OLD THREAD)

[rabside]

hi!
I use ubuntu 8.10.
do you know which repo I can use install the correct version of mono to run your great app?

thx a lot!

[Ger Teunis]

Hi Rabside, I used the default repository from ubuntu 8.10. Installing is tricky because you need a couple of extra libs like xulrunner, libgluezilla etc. But there is hope for you. The upcoming version should work a lot better with the default mono installation. Version 1.7.0 is just around the corner, perhaps I'll contact you to do some testing if you like.

Hi there,

I installed "BusyBox, Telnet and MC" and I wonder why Midnight Commander is not displayed correctly. I found that TERM ist set to vt102.

So I changed the row in start_app.sh from

Code:

export TEMP="xterm"

to

Code:

export TERM="xterm"

and all works fine.

It looks like this was forgotten to set back (during a debuggung-session?).

regards mmaki.

Oops, you're right. Good find.
I fixed it here as well. Anyone having the same issue: please install any item (application or waiting image) and this will be automatically fixed.

Just formatted drive, upgraded latest firmware, installed latest apps. Tried to install telnet and get 404 errors. Telnet does not work.

404 errors are most likely a configuation error.
Please go to "Server / Hardware settings" in "Extra" menu.
Choose the correct hardware type here. (b110 for a Popcorn Hour B-110) and Others for any other type of NMT.

You are a genius! I momentarily forgot that I had a A-110 not a B-110. Thanks.

Thanks!

WOW really thx!!
I'll be your beta tester

Any news on the mac OS X version?
I can help beta testing if you guys are interested...

[Ger Teunis]

Not really, it seems that the mac osx version of mono is a lot buggier then the linux version is.
The early results from dc11ab seems there might be some serious issues with the current 2.2 version of mono.
Currently I am focusing on a seamless linux version, but I'll look into the OSX version after that.

Hello Ger !
Really really great work you've done for the community ! Especially for big newbies...
I've got a question anyway... I've tried to install some stuff with your software like walls, Transmission update... AND aMule. Everything's working fine except this last one. Access to the WebGUI : No prob. But everytime i want to enter a menu (preferences, servers...) it's asking me for the password (1234) and everytime i give it very nicely for the same result : back to the password page.
I don't want to use aMule... i don't even won't to uninstall it : i just want to deactivate the launch on boot so it don't eat too much CPU !
Do i just have to edit with "vi" a startup script or something ?
Thanx for the answer and waiting like others for the uninstall tool !

In short (i'm at my work atm)
Uninstall will be worked on.
Regarding the username and password: try another browser, perhaps it will work. Regarding starting on boot: please edit the file start_app.sh in the root of your NMT's HDD, locate the line with "amule" in it and place a "#" without the quotes in front of the line.

Thanx a lot !
