hum I haven't tried the mplayer from the command line. Moc is just a nice player with a simple yet powerful interface (I use it for my audio player on my main computer) I'll check you mplayer, but I understood there wasn't any interface to the software

OK, I misunderstood what you meant by "interface". No, kinamp/mplayer does not have an interface. But, I don't see why MOC from ipkg wouldn't work. You'd just a terminal, like myts or kiterm.

I installed ipkg and 6-7 packages following the OP instructions (not danik's ones), and after removing all the packages, there are still a lot of packages left in various folders inside /opt!!! How can someone completely remove them safely? (ALSO, I believe 'ipkg remove mypkg' doesn't remove all the files it installed (which sucks) and leaves empty folders behind too! I have attached my KT's freespace, I wonder if I am Ok, compared to other people's free spaces? Last edited by thatworkshop; 02-22-2012 at 10:52 PM. |

Question.
http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/ I'm not 100% on why optware was so awesome (It's been about a year since I looked) but is there any reason why a debian loopmount lenny wouldnt provide "better/wider range of" apps and be far less of PITA in terms of actually "getting it to run". One file, mounted, looped. run via script? I could probably scrape something together if the answer is "Hey that's not a bad idea." Just a thought. I even kind of recall there being decent framebuffer support on a few things back in those days... might be a few gems to dig out. Throw rocks now. (Sorry optware devotees but this thread is littered with "I do what now?") EDIT: AH post 2 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...72&postcount=2 yeah... that... |

if you can help w/ a quick install guide for your idea that'd be great. |

Ah okay mate. Yeah I'll have a hunt around then, I meant to do this about 5 times over now... Mainly for Idoit++ since his love for the kindle 3 was rekindled. and a buddy of mine who I haven't seen for far too long a time, but that is another story.
Right. on my todo list then. |

HOWTO:
Spoiler:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../lenny.ext3.xz (resized to a little over 400MB) REF: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resi...xt3_partitions copy that to /mnt/us/debian.ext3 mount script https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15900420/mntdebian copy that to /mnt/us/mntdebian run it like /mnt/us/mntdebian via shh (or terminal or w/e) should work okay. if you get complaints about regional stuff dpkg-reconfigure locales and pick your region...

Nicely done. perfect tutorial.
curious - what do you see as a benefit to optware-like images vs. native programs in extensions? Do you intend a full X environment? <- still having problems with that by the way I like being able to just rip it from debian to run it native, I suppose in a dream world you could make it mount a main image and just save changes like puppy linux does? matter of fact we could 'borrow' from tiny core linux or something to be able to install packages from the net? |

on the kindle 3 as everything is framebuffer based many of the "odd" titling issues associated with the kindle touches Awesome just don't apply.
So, yes no problem ripping this stuff/ running it native, but this is a handy way to "get something to rip". of course that also has overhead associated with duplicate libs that the kual-system was/is aiming to sure in the medium term... I did consider many times over a package maintenance system, perhaps when we have a big enough list if apps to warrant such a thing... and more metadata in the packages themselves... |

Hi all. I was curious if anyone has gotten the newer optware-ng running in place of the old optware. I'm only not sure it would work because it appears to be compiled for v5 and v7 ARM cpus at this time. AFAIK the kindle runs a v6 compatible cpu. I might be mistaken. I'm not super familiar with ARM architectures and compatibility.
According to optware, ng is now official: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/HomePage official optware-ng packages http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/optware-ng/ |
