PNDs not running

[Robzed]

So, got my Pandora from EvilDragon today (yay!). Got Wifi working. Set it up for GUI switching (although for some reason Minimenu didn't work until I'd suspended and switched a few times (previously it was bombing out at the login screen; Xfce was no problems)).

However, whilst I've download apps via the PNDStore to the SD card (into /media/mmcblk0p1/pandora/menu), they don't appear in minimenu or Xfce ... and trying to execute them from the File Manager doesn't do anything...

Am I missing something?

Regards,

Rob

P.S. The card was pre-formatted FAT32, so I just did the setup card option, not format. The Pandora appears to read the card fine and it knows they are executable files.

P.P.S. There was a mention somewhere of naming the card to keep the location the same... I think .... hmm

try putting them in pandora/menu

or just try unmounting,removing card, and putting it back in. or even a reboot

Unmounting and remounting made them show up.

Some error about no mounting the PND with a file to look at for the error ... I'll take a look there.

No, not solved. It's still not running PNDs ... something about "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on non, missing codepage <...more...>

Formatted the SD Card as VFAT on the pandora, and now it appears to be installing and running everything ok. Problem solved:

Somewhat weird, the 32GB card formatted as 1GB ... copied the Pandora folder off, reformatted as FAT on my Mac, copied the Pandora folder back on and all is well. I love PNDs

If you fornatted it on the Pandora with this prepare sd program, there is a bug in that. Update the os with the updater application in the system menu or format the card on a pc.

If you formatted this on the Pandora there was a recent bug fix that resolved that odd 1GB issue, If you have a recent version of the firmware, run the update Pandora OS tool in system menu. it should pick up the fix.

Glad I'm not going mad
