Why this happening in SmartQ7
Thanks you guys I was able to flash my SmartQ7 to ver.4.0.
Now I have been trying my butt off to install Okular. I need a PDF reader with the ability to highlight. After adding another repository (deb http://ftp.de.debian.org) I was able to install Okular. But when I try to launch it, it gives an error saying "no such file /usr/bin/okular". But there is one. The strange thing is, now Evince is not opening either. It was working before I installed Okular now it also gives the same problem. Also says something like unable to lauch child process (or something along those lines). I really really want Okular. And I Have been through quite a mess to come here and I am really really tired . Anybody please give my advice. Thank you. |

So I downloaded 0.7-2 version and opened with Gdebi and it said same version is installed.
I clicked re-install. It ended successfully and there is a slight improvement. Last time I installed Okular (apt-get) I did not see any launch icons in the menu. This time, there are two Okular icons in the 'Graphics' menu. When I click, I get a notice "Now starting Okular %U...." but nothing happens after that. Cheers. |

The stange thing is when I do "root@mojo:~# /usr/bin/okular", it says "No such file or directory". But it auto-completes when I click Tab.
But works for /usr/bin/leafpad. I feel I am so close to having Okular but..... |

Did you also install the squillions of dependencies that okular has? Presumably so unless you force-installed it.
The other thing is, I ran into this issue installing a deb from the debian repos, and the only way I managed to get around it was to get a slightly newer version (see this search for example: http://packages.debian.org/search?su...eywords=okular) Except the newer builds are only available for armel so then you need to use --force-architecture to install it: sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture [deb filename] Note that this may be dangerous so don't blame me if you need to reflash your Q7 or something, but in general it's fine, arm and armel are basically the same. You might find that the newer version needs newer versions of everything else too, like libc and stuff, if that's the case I'd just give up, it's not worth trying to replace all of those since they are used by other programs. |
