As far as someone check it I'll update the docs.

Ok, Iñigo! But, do you know what version of BusyBox I need? I found the Busybox 1.7.2 version by Adam B. here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...52&postcount=5

It´s this the correct version I need?

Thanks!

Yes, I think is the same I installed on my Iliad.

That's to check if default busybox's df command accepts h flag, which Toolbox is using.

Iñigo

df -h works too, same output as before with -k but of course instead of "1k-blocks" there's "size" and everything is shown in MB instead of bytes. Pretty normal

Thank you very much for your info Iñigo. I'll check it now and post feedback later...

[ferlanero]

Well... I've installed this afternoon the Busybox 1.7.2 version by Adam B. Everything ok but Toolbox still doesn't work...

Can someone help me, please? I don't know what more I can do...

Hi all,

first of all many thanks to Iñigo for the excellent work.

I have gotten further why the 'sysinfo' application crashes:
If I start an interactive lua session and type "print(tonumber('3.14'))" I get exactly what I expect. However, if I put such a line into "sysinfo.lua", I get 'nil' as a result.

This looks like a locale issue (note that I have set my language to german, which might imply a 'comma' as 'decimal point' for the tonumber function).

What will be the best way to set the locale temporarily for the sysinfo application? Why does the xterm application seems to export 'english' settings?

Many thanks again
Tomm

whoahhhh!!!! very good catch!
I don't know lua in depth and hadn't noticed this behaviour.

The solution is easy: a simple os.setlocale('C', 'numeric') at the start of the program will solve the bug.

I bought a DR800S a couple of weeks ago, so I won't develop more for the Iliad, sorry.

Dear Iñigo,

Thanks for your hint with "os.setlocale('C','numeric')", this soves my issues.

I anybody else is curious: I have inserted this line immediately after the 3 'require' statements in _/files/Toolbox.lua.

Sorry to year that you will no longer program for the Iliad. Nonetheless many thanks for your support up till now

Best Regards
Tomm

Well, one of my projects is to adapt Toolbox to work on the DR800. Most of the code will serve, and then I'll improve some components, which could be easily reused for the iLiad.
Perhaps a compatibility layer...
