Exclamation SMART Q7 and comix with V5OS?

Howdy:
I had comix working fine with V4 OS on my smart Q7.
I recently upgraded to V5 firmware and need to reinstall comix.

I followed the same steps and used the same files/versions of python
and comix and I;m getting an error "wrong architecture ARM"

I'm on the original Q7 not the new V7. My processor didn't change!

What's going on?

Also, is there an easy way to get a dual boot with wince?
I'm NOT good with linux. In plain english please!

Thanks!!!!!

I'm in the same boat as you.

From what I understand V5 is a different build of Linux than V4 (karmic kola ???). Therefore we need a different build of python. In theory the fixes are one of:

1. Download a new version of python.
- I can't seem to find one
- I don't know which version to use

2. Run a command to search a repository and automatically DL a new comix package which will also install the dependent files
- Awesome tool, but I don't think my repositories are correct, as the comix one is not found

Check post 14 here for the command line and the repository info.

ver 4.0 used the debian arm repositories. ver 5.0 uses the ubuntu/debian armel repositories, subtle but significant. So after the upgrade if you did not run "sudo apt-get update" your device would still be looking in the old incompatible repos.
