Angstrom Repository

[Sarlix]

Hi, I wonder if someone could help me out please.

I wanted to install this alarm from the repository http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=opie-alarm or http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=elementary-alarm

I typed 'sudo opkg install opie-alarm' into the terminal, but all I got back was 'Cannot install package opie-alarm'

Not really sure what the problem is. Did I use the wrong terminal command? or is it because the dependencies aren't satisfied? I don't know how to find this out.

Many thanks for any help.

The dependencies aren't satisfied most likely ..

Try 'sudo opkg update' first.

As far as I know opie-alarm won't work properly on xfce4.

Angstrom has different GUIs. One of them is OPIE, another is X (what we are using) and another is GPE (X, but with GPE on top).
I don't think it's easy to mix X with OPIE.

Normally the OPIE feed is not in the sources list of the X-flavour-distribution we are using on the pandora.

Thanks guys. I did 'sudo opkg update' and it updated a bunch of stuff, but still no joy.

editChero Ah well, that explains it. Thanks
