can any one help me for installing an softcam file .ipk

[Pedro_Newbie]

What was the error-message, if any ?

Normal method by DCC_E2 is via
Tools->IPKG Packages->Upload package ->Choose package and click on open.

The package will be installed, click on the tab Telnet and look if you see some error-messages

Is this a softcam which isn't on the feed?

hello mister:
but when i enter in dcc e2 in tools_IPKG Packages there are not packages in the list of
available IPKG packages... and when i try to upload my ipk file message dear that is done but when i enter in my box ; i didn't find the file...

You could try to FTP the .ipk to the DB's /tmp then from telnet run:

opkg install /tmp/name_of.ipk

thank you mister but when i entered infolders of dreambox via dcc e2 ; i didn't find tmp folder... i found for exemple: usr; lib; var...etc ;
where i find the tmp folder please!

[noorsat]

any help please!

[hemispherical1]

Any FTP client (besides DCC of course, but that's another rant) will display and allow you to transfer files to the DB's /tmp directory, even Windoze Explorer or a DOS command line...

Ps. /tmp is just a sane place to install packages from, but you can do it from anywhere, /var, /lib, etc. You'd just adjust the install command for the exact location like:

opkg install /var/name_of.ipk
opkg install /lib/name_of.ipk
etc...

And remove the ipk after installing so you don't needlessly eat up flash space...

thanks mister
I built a folder named tmp in var; and i sent my ipk file to it ; with chmod 755...

But when i made the command : opkg install / var/tmp/.....ipk via telnet this message was appeared : .... ipk not found in vat/tmp
why...!
and i

[hemispherical1]

I don't know, did you actually place a space in the command between / & var like you wrote above? That would be wrong.

Oh, and if you used DCC to send the file to the DB, it's not uncommon for DCC to say it transfered a file even though it did no such thing (one part of that DCC rant I mentioned above).

or is there another way to install it please!

[littlesat]

The tmp directory is currently a link to /var/volatile/tmp

@noorsat

open "DCC" -> telnet and "copy & paste" this code:

ln -s `which opkg` /usr/bin/ipkg
ln -sf "opkg-cl" "/usr/bin/ipkg-cl"

and now you can see:

DCC -> Tools -> IPKG Packages

your packages /images/smiley/wink.gif
and now you can add own ipk packages/files
