dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > Allwinner A10

(Solved) MK802 imported packages don't run

More info...

I just built a(nother) completely new install. I erased the partitions on the sd card, downloaded all the files again and rebuilt the install from scratch.

The wifi is working (very fast) as is wflm_topside gui.

I imported hexedit and it seemed to show the applicable responses, asking if it want me to import it and then create the sce.

Hexedit.sce is in the sce directory.

When I select run program and try to type in hexedit I get to hex and it autocompletes to hexdump and will not let me change that. When I type hexedit at the cli it just drops back to the command prompt.

Apparently something has changed. Is there a change log we can look back through to find the culprit (file that is - not person).

roberts:
In your post I don't see a mention of loadsce. The import command creates the sce.
After an import, a loadsce is required to actually mount and make available the application.

athouston:
Sorry, it was a bit late when I posted that last and I was a bit tired. Yes I had run loadsce, I was just trying to be a bit brief.

Anyway, I had an epiphany at 0230 this morning (as well as extremely low blood sugar level - thanks diabetes) and it turns out the problem is a faulty sd card. I have seen this sort of problem a few times previously on hard drives: in 38 years you see a lot - sometimes it takes some effort to drag the memory out of archive - and there's nothing like the sugar hit of 6 jellybeans to give the brain a kickstart (with the emphasis on hit and kick).

I always get a bad case of insomnia when I go low so I rebuilt again on a new card this morning and all seems well.

Sorry to bother; Its 0740, the wife just left for work, the dogs have been fed, so I'm going back to bed.

roberts:
Good to hear. I felt kinda silly for the need to suggest loadsce.
Often, I find that I need to zero out an sdcard.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=50 count=1
Sometimes it helps.

athouston:
Thanks for the zero tip, I'll try that later.

BTW...I didn't get this old and this ugly by being thin skinned so I don't take offence when someone suggests the obvious - sometimes brain fade is the end result of the root cause analysis.

Cheers.
