I can recommend installing iTerm and Midnight Commander for Mac. Then you control all the operations 100% the Linux way.
iTerm: http://iterm.sourceforge.net/ MC installer: http://louise.hu/poet/?p=4015 http://rudix.googlecode.com/files/mc-4.7.1-2.dmg Or you can use MacPorts / Fink for compiling from sources. After installing MC start iTerm and type there mc Last edited by dima_tr; 10-12-2010 at 03:12 AM. |

mackx,
Everything now works. I rechecked all the directories and files, copied what was missing and all is now ok. Thanks, Howard |

Good to hear it works now. So the trick is to 'merge' the zip-file onto the SD-card, because by default all folders on the destination are removed and re-created. Did you use any of the tools that dima_tr recommended? I will add a special warning in the manual (anyone read it?)

ApplyMackxPatch.desktop line1: [Desktop: not found ApplyMackxPatch.desktop line4: MackxHack: not found Though I got similar errors with the djvu-patch, which did eventually install (correctly I think). Installing from the .sh file did install the patch. And it seems to be working except for: - Recently Read is still Recently Added (in name and function) - When safely removing the screen goes black, then blank screen These problems might well be peculiar to my device though. |

Could be the same problem with extracting files on Windows PC using WinZip ... 7zip rulez.
See this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=93627&page=6 from #85 and further. |

The behaviour has changed (since p4 I think), I added an extra icon called Recently Read, so you should see both Recently Read and Recently Added (and Applications and Xournals). Did you see the new settings-icons in the Settings-view? (See manual /Programs/_mackxpatch/docs/.) Safely removing from PC or safely removing SD-card from DR? There was an issue in an older 2.0RC where you could not recover anymore after Safely Remove SD-card from the DR. |

Safely removing from DR1000. This happens when I select the function to remove the card. When I actually remove it, it shows the right message (no SD-card) and inserting again works fine too I think. |

From http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/
Some other weird thing is wrong with my gconf!!! Try shutting down gconfd (gconftool-2 --shutdown) and running the gconf-sanity-check-1 or gconf-sanity-check-2 applications - these will tell you about common problems. No personal experience though ... |

Thanks dima_tr and Mackx.
Im not very Linux-savvy so I don't really understand much of what I'm doing right now gconftool-2 is installed and I can get it to shutdown, but the sanity checks aren't installed (I think). I also tried gconf-edit, but also to no avail. I take it gconf isn't reinstalled when installing new firmware? |

Perhaps it's not a gconf error, but an install-error. The required schemas haven't even been copied to etc/gconf/schemas.
I could try reinstalling it and see what happens. But I suppose I need to uninstall it first? How do I uninstall the patch using rxvt? |

I solved the first problem by modifying the install script so it only installed the schemas. After two tries it worked. So I'm almost where I should be.
The problem with removing the SD-card is still there, but I can live with that (for now ) |

Hi rvs,
What I did not do for this patch is to create a schema file for the extra keys that are used for the last-app functionality. I wonder if that could cause some of the problems. gconf-data is not overwritten when a new firmware is installed, so people that had the 'RecentFiles'-patch of firmware R1.7.1 installed would still have the correct keys in gconf (including me). If the keys are not in gconf that would also mean that the 'last-app' functionality is not working. Did you have an opertunity to check it? (Although, I forgot to handle SD-card removal in the current patch, so I am not using gconf during card-removal at this moment...) See that attached file for the schema file of the R1.7.1 patch, you would need to copy it into the _mackxpatch/schema folder and add the following lines to _apply.sh (make sure you use an editor that is 'Unix-line-ending-aware'): Code:
/bin/cp -f ./schemas/open_files.schemas /etc/gconf/schemas/open_files.schemas gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/open_files.schemas I will add them for the next update of the patch. The missing keys in gconf could explain the black-screen during start-up, the keys are read and maybe the code (that I added) does not handle the 'keys not available' situation correctly, causing a crash of (the patched) ctb... If this is the real problem, the code above should solve that. (Unfortunately I still have no explanaition for the problems when removing the SD-card.) |
