Would doing a meminfo help?

Output of these commands would help:

df
mount
ls -lad /opt

Thanks Ron,

Does this help?

Well, it’s not a disk space issue. Something is clearly wrong on a system level though… ipk isn’t working, vi isn’t working… very little appears to be working.

Maybe if we figure out what’s making one thing not work, we’ll get to the bottom of all of it.

As far as the vi thing not working, it seems like it must be either missing termcap/terminfo stuff, or your TERM variable set incorrectly.

Could try doing “export TERM=vt220”, and seeing if vi works then. Also could try doing an “ipkg update; ipkg install nano”, on the grounds that that should pull in ncurses, ncursesw, and the necessary terminfo stuff.

Let’s see what that does.

Maybe due to my inadequacies, maybe down to you Ron, vi is now working. I’m not sure if I was navigating around it correctly, but I did what you asked first, and hence I’m none the wiser!

Anyway, I can edit the config file no problem, but this doesn’t help at all in even starting firefly. I’ve re-attempted to install 1463 etc, but the previous problems have all resurfaced. When ie ipkg the new nightly the admin-root directories are “not a directory”.

At the moment I can’t even get firefly started. Many thanks for your time Ron. Next step??

Sorry, it would have been helpful to give the latest log read out.

Something not right with the package. Let’s try uninstalling it and making sure the directories etc get wiped out:

# killall -9 mt-daapd

# ipkg remove mt-daapd

# rm /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd

# rm -rf /opt/etc/mt-daapd

# rm -rf /opt/share/mt-daapd

# rm -rf /opt/var/mt-daapd

That should get rid of everything.

Then try reinstalling, and see where that goes.

Many thanks again Ron, everything running well with 1463. I presume there would be no harm putting those commands on the wiki – it’s obviously pretty straight foward, as long as you know which files to delete. I guess any install error should be able to be solved by repeating that?

Yeah, pretty much. Can’t imagine what got it wedged into that state, though. 🙁
