OPKG?

[Silent-Hunter]

Can I use opkg for stuff like adding support for other file systems, adding qmake, gedit, etc? Or is that bad to do? OpenPandora says you shouldn't do it, but I figured that was because programs wouldn't be optimized for the size of the screen.

problem with opkg is that it install it on your system. Unless you use some extend or have your whole os on an sd card, the nand itself is quite limited in space (df -h) will tell you how much you have left.

How can I make it so gedit is the default for text files?

Tbh I'm not sure. The best I can think of is to mess with the launcher commands that launch each program and swap mousepads for the launcher path to the gedit PND.


These can be found in usr/share/applications where you'll find the icons for those apps. Right click them and note the text in the command box. In my case its


mousepad %f and /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -p "media/SDCARDNAME/pandora/menu/apps//gedit.pnd" -e "scripts/gedit.sh" -b "gedit"


That command could be used to create a new launcher icon on the XFCE panel to open gedit quickly, without the menus (if the PND isnt on the desktop) but I think you need sudo rights to alter the command to mousepad to swap it, so it would need doing from a terminal.


I don't know my linux from my elbow so that's as far I can guess. Sorry it ain't much help
