"Testing" Sensei & Sensei64

[efgee]

Tried the new initrd.gz file but it stuck on the same error...

BTW: I don't use a USB-hub it's just a Toshiba laptop.

efgee,

what if from that prompt you run:

Code: Select all

/init

do u then see senapps sendesk and sensei64.sfs copying to ram?

[efgee]

No.
If I do "/init" the system tries to do the same: load the sensei64_001.sfs file but it doesn't work.
When I do "ls" I only see the files inside the "init" file.

Hi stifiling. Now with new scripts makesfs and arch2sfs opera.sfs was created and loaded ok (had to reboot to refresh menu), but the same errors during the process appears, now this example is with midnight commander:

While I'm not a beginner as such, I'm certainly not too knowledgeable and I really don't know where to start with this.

I did a manual frugal install of Sensei Full and so far am very happy with it. I love xfce!

It's on a Dell Latitude D520. Is there anything I can install that will let me have more control over the trackpad as I need to turn off taps (I'm quite heavy handed)?

Secondly, I'm considering using it to run virtual organs so I installed qjackctl and qsynth using Pacmanexpress. qjackctl/jack works but qsynth will not even start. I tried starting qsynth from the terminal and got the following error:

symbol lookup error: /lib/libreadline.so.6 undefined symbol: UP

I reinstalled readline but that made no difference.

Any ideas anyone?

Graham

i looked for a solution to disabling the touchpad and came across this thread. it's pretty much saying to install "synaptics" using pacman or pacmanexpress and run the command:

Code: Select all

synclient TouchpadOff=1

so that solution should work. if it does, you can add that command to the /root/.start file...and that should disable the touchpad automatically when starting the machine.

as far as that readline error....it's saying /lib/libreadline.so.6.....when the arch package installs the readline lib to /usr/lib/libreadline.so.6

with that being the case....could you try deleting the file /lib/libreadline.so.6 if it exists...and run the command:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/lib/libreadline.so.6.2 /lib/libreadline.so.6

and see if that works... that should make a symlink to the lib it's asking for.

Thanks

I'll try that when I can get time to get back to it.

i jus reuploaded sensei64. i noticed the webcam modules weren't included. also hoping usb booting is working correctly.
