pal - COMMAND LINE Calendar thingy (requires KTERM) - Page 2

twobob · 09-12-2013, 06:23 PM

right....

I guess I could hardcode the location but the bindmount is supposed to take care of the /usr/share/pal

what does ls * in /usr/share/pal say?

perhaps I messed up?

folder /usr/share/pal is empty..

but there's a folder pal/bin under /mnt/us/extensions/pal which has files kterm-runner.sh, pal and vcard2pal..

twobob · 09-12-2013, 11:41 PM

huh. seems like the bind mount still isn't working right.

Let me shove this in my PW. one sec.

twobob · 09-12-2013, 11:43 PM

aaaah snap. I see what you mean.

GAH! Let me fix that.

EDIT: DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

I mean literally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is an extra "!" in the file ./pal

Quote:

if [ ! -d /usr/share/pal ]; then
mount --bind /mnt/us/extensions/pal/etc/pal /usr/share/pal
fi

should be

Quote:

if [ -d /usr/share/pal ]; then
mount --bind /mnt/us/extensions/pal/etc/pal /usr/share/pal
fi

I'll fix the top attachment.

EDIT: FIXED.

If it's anything like a consolation: the same thing just happened to me only a few hours ago, when I was writing the "tap zones" patch for JBPatch: I had accidentally reversed "always" and "never" in the descriptions, and was going crazy to find the apparent bug. It took me more than half an hour to find it

After all, we're all just humans/idiots

Hey guys.. no need for all that..

You're doing a great, little appreciated job..

Such small things happen..

Glad to lend a hand by testing..

nasser · 09-13-2013, 10:52 PM

Some more issues.. on PW..

After quitting pal, kual doesn't work.. "An error occurred while trying to open this item.."
Kual's icon in page view also is missing
Within pal, if i try ./pal |more, get message like "transport end point not found.." After this, even ./pal generates same message..
Kindle restart needed to set things right

twobob · 09-13-2013, 10:54 PM

okay... I really really have screwed up the bind mounts.

AGAIN!!!

sigh.

ZOMG! will this thing never live!

twobob · 09-13-2013, 10:58 PM

maybe I should just bin it's sorry ass.

Give it a break.. you'll find the solution eventually..

Wish i could jump in.. but my linux know how not enough.. what's a bind mount..?

Tried again..
The correct message is "Transport endpoint is not connected.."
Also it occurs only when i put a space before the "|".. like "./pal |more"
"./pal|more" works as expected..
But once i get the "Transport endpoint.." error, all further calls to ./pal give the same message

twobob · 09-13-2013, 11:11 PM

yeah. basically what is happening is I BIND one folder to another.

literally, so one becomes the other...

but bind it twice? and all hell breaks loose.

I'm clearly doing that somewhere. DOH!

twobob · 09-13-2013, 11:15 PM

[root@kindle root]# ls
ls: .: Transport endpoint is not connected

right I see. AGAIN. GAAAAHHH!!!
