Hello Folks,

I have a XTrend et4000 with newest OpnePli 4. The et4000 didn't have a display and so I wont to install LCD4Linux. Unfortunately the plugin isn't in the feed. How can I install this plgin manually?

 

Best regards

The plugin ís in the feed (for all OpenPLi supported receivers), so you can use an external LCD display.

may be the ET4000 isn't supportet. I can't find it under systemplugins or under extensions..

Any ideas?

[Erik Slagter]

Yes, all receivers are supported. It probably has something to do with the et4000 not having a FPU which makes the arch mips32el-nf (as opposed to the "normal" arch mips32el). This package should also be generated by the bouwserver for mips32el-nf, but it might contain a library that is mips32el only. It will run just fine though.

 

The quickest fix for the moment would be to change the arch.conf file on your et4000 (it's in /etc/opkg) and add mips32el with a lowe prio, something like "arch mips32el 32"

 

Make a copy of the file first, so you can revert if necessary. Also make a complete backup because if it's wrong, you'll end up with the all mips32el packages instead of mips32el-nf on your et4000 and you will have to flash. If opkg upgrade wants to upgrade about 200 packages, something went wrong

Hello,

I have the same Problem with my ET4000. I add the arch mips32el 32 and have made a opkg update. LCD4LINUX is not to find on feed. I had anoter ET4000 with an older OpenPLI Version (3.xx). In that System I have the LCD4LINUX.

Any ideas?

Indeed, the lcd4linux plugin is "mips32el" or "mipsel" arch while your stb (et4000, hd1100, xp1000) is "mips32el-nf" arch so it won't show up in the package list. The non-python parts will probably work but no guarantees. If you add mips32el and mipsel to your archs, it will show up. Many plugins use the obsolete "mipsel" arch.

The developer of the lcd4linux plugin also provides a "mips32el-nf" package suitable for the ET4000.

[Erik Slagter]

That's good news. It will also be applicable to hd1100 and xp1000, by the way.

I'd like to manually install the newest Lcd4Linux plugin (the mips32el-nf version) on my ET4000.

I have downloaded the ipk from the developers homepage.

 

But when I try to install the local ipk, it downloads and installs another version from the feed instead. 

root@et4x00:/var/volatile/tmp# opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-lcd4linux_
4.6-r0_mips32el-nf.ipk
Installing enigma2-plugin-extensions-lcd4linux (4.5-r5-8+49274e8-r0.1) on root.

gin-extensions-lcd4linux_4.5-r5-8+49274e8-r0.1_mips32el.ipk.

Can anyone explain this behaviour?

Give it a path?

opkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-lcd4linux_4.6-r0_mips32el-nf.ipk

[Erik Slagter]

I have updated it in the feed, the 4.6 version is in the feed (at least SHOULD be).

 

If an old version is installed indeed, either the opkg database on the receiver is corrupt, or our feeds
