DR1000 Patch for DR1000 firmware - Page 11

fekhner · 02-22-2011, 11:56 AM

Hi Mackx,

Runs smoothly, no problems here, thanks!

Mackx · 02-22-2011, 03:40 PM

Thanks for the feedback!

otromanolo · 02-23-2011, 07:17 AM

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you all guys for what you are doing with the DR1000. It's really a much better device with, e.g., Xournal, than it was. Kudos

Anyway, I'm trying to install MackxPatch's v 8 and I'm having problems: i get the "Do you want to restore..." question, and I answer No. Then I get "Do you want to install MackxPatch", and I answer Yes. But that's it, I never get the next question regarding schemas, and nothing more happens.

Are you aware of similar issues? What do I need to change?

Thanks again!
Manolo

Mackx · 02-23-2011, 07:48 AM

Hi Manolo,

That is strange. Do you have rxvt-installed? Then you could do a manual install by typing:

Code:

/media/mmcblk0p1/Programs/_mackxpatch/_apply.sh

in rxvt, to see if it gives an error message. (You should see the same questions.)

Regards,
Marcel.

otromanolo · 02-23-2011, 08:26 AM

Thanks for your answer, Marcel.

Now I have rxvt installed (I didn't). The error is:

line 224: syntax error: end of file unexpected

Cheers,
Manolo

Mackx · 02-23-2011, 09:42 AM

Some questions:
Do you have a windows, linux of mac-pc?
Which program did you use to unzip?
How did you unzip the package to your DR, directly or first on HD and then copy to SD-card?

It could be a CRLF vs LF problem.

otromanolo · 02-23-2011, 01:00 PM

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu Maverick. I unzip with File Roller 2.32.0. I normally unzip directly to the SD card -inserted in the PC, not the DR.

Should I change any of these things?

Mackx · 02-23-2011, 02:30 PM

Can you have a look, to see if the line-endings in _apply.sh are correct? You can use cat -e _apply.sh or your favourite editor if it supports showing non-printable characters.

otromanolo · 02-25-2011, 10:46 AM

I don't know what I'm looking for, I'm afraid... I copy here the entire output of cat -e _apply.sh

The first thing, btw, means "input/output error".

Hope this helps!
Manolo

There is something strange happening at the end. The script should continue after this. Something seems to be corrupt. Maybe you should download the zip-file again from the forum and unzip again?

The error at the beginning also seems to indicate that something is wrong? Maybe some parts of the SD-card got corrupt, does Ubuntu have a tool to fix corrupts SD-cards?

A corrupt SD card can cause more 'strange' errors with the DR (e.g. new files do not show up, annotations/bookmarked are not 'remembered' etc.).

otromanolo · 02-26-2011, 06:52 AM

Yes, as it happens I had tried to install a corrupt copy. Apologies for the false alarm.

The patch works like a charm!

Manolo

Mackx · 02-26-2011, 08:36 AM

Good to hear everything works again.

bokjeid · 03-03-2011, 02:32 AM

Thanks for your new update!! Especially, the clock on the toolbar function is amazing!!

ps. By the way, couldn't we put 'close' icon at the toolbar on the note application in DR1000S? We can easily close a document but can't a note, you know..^^ It seems so useful so I mentioned..

I 'stole' it from Iñigo's dr800+ patch.

This is indeed strange. I think this is due to a design choice that only allows 5 icons when the page-counter with the left-right buttons is present (need space to show 'page 12345 of 67890' I guess). If I remember well some decisions are made in the code depending on the number of toolbar icons, so I can see if I can add an item, or need to replace an item.

Hi bokjeid,

I have put all the code changes I made for the hacks of the firmware in a BitBucket archive. It also has an Issue-list. I submitted your request there (so I will not forget it). Maybe you can check if I captured the issue correctly?

See: https://bitbucket.org/mackx/dr1000-h...oolbar-notepad

I anyone has more ideas on how the firmware should be extended you can submit your own issues. (I think that issues can be submitted annonymously, so you do not even need to create a BitBucket account)

Marcel.
