Anyway to install apps in SD card on Mer - SmartQ7?

m26k9 · 09-10-2009, 12:26 AM

I am sorry to have started another thread. I am just so desperate to get Okular running on SmartQ7.

So I gave up on default OS and installed Mer. I should thank Nation for his help through out.

I got Mer 0.15 up and running and did "apt-get install okular". It was nearly a 200MB install. And during the installation (after downloading) it gave an error of no available disk space.

The system doesn't even have 200MB left in it?
Again, I am so close to having Okular. Before it was a dependency problem but now it 'seems' there is no such problem but the space.

Is there anyway to get around this?
I am ready to try out anything at this moment.

Thank you.

Go here and read up; http://www.ill-logix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28
This is for the Std OS. Once you have set this up you should try it again on your Q7 as you will now have the space for the install.

Thanks Nation. But I am waiting for their activation email for two days now... seems it's not coming...

Admin seems to have been busy for a quite while now

I hope he gets back soon

BTW, could please let me know if it is possible? Right now I am unable to get much done in Mer-0.15 so I am thinking whether I should flash to default Ver.4.0.
Is it possible to install apps from 'apt-get' on the SD? If so I will wait for the activation email..

Thanks buddy.

Somebody asked the same question today on this other forum, so I 'borrowed it from ill-logix.com forum to save having to repeat it everywhere.

Thanks a million Nation!

Now excuse me for asking this, it is not possible with Mer is it?
Because Okular is available in Ubuntu repos and if I can do this with Mer that would be awesome.
Sorry for troubling you mate.

m26k9 · 09-10-2009, 09:41 AM

BTW, I had a read through that forum and seems firmware 5.0 is due soon.
And it will have Ubuntu ports. Any idea if the same will be available for Q7?

Cheers.

I know very little about Mer, not been brave enough to try it yet

I don't know if it is a 'special' for the Q7 or a Std part of GDebi. Try installing GDebi through Mer and see if it works in the same way.

The Q7 versions 'usually' follow on 1-2 weeks after the Q5 updates.

Thanks a lot Nation.
I will try installing GDebi and see.
Hopefully Ver.5.0 will end my misery. Fingers crossed.
