Has anyone tried to install eKonsole to the E6?

There already is an E6 version, I think i found it in the forums before, if not search google.

I'm feeling like a bit of an idiot, but I've tried both (forums and google) but have not been able to locate it...

Could you please provide a URL?

Thanks in advance,

JamesK

Try this one

http://www.g-cipher.net/~jay/a780/eKonsole.mpkg.zip

though I found a few, this is just one.

THIS WILL NOT WORK ON THE A1200

Look no further the file thats on the first page works on the E6. Most A1200 files work on the E6 and most E6 on the A1200.

if you type df, you'll see that /usr if /dev/roflash which is of course mounted read only.

oh so the E6 doesn't use the -xscale.so libs like the a780?

Thanks for the pointers...

This is beyond cooooool! I've been waiting for this for some time... finally eKconsole for the A1200. Now I can show my friends that it's "Linux Inside" without telnetting to it from my PC. With Bash2 installed, command history works along with tab completion, "less", "vim", "top", etc. Sweeeeet!

Alpha43- you need to "sticky" this post.

I fond this on a friend ming install and regenrated paquage. work for me.

Where can I find bash2 and how can I install it please? That would be great help using eKonsole

If you have Bint's 08p firmware bash2 is build in else you can try this one that i have attached.

then in "mmc\mmca1\.system\QTDownLoad\ekonsole\ekonsole.sh" file put export SHELL="<path>/bash2" and you are all set.

Edit:
1. unzip and copy the bash2 to /mmc/mmca1/bin (create directory if it dosen't exist)
2. edit mmc\mmca1\.system\QTDownLoad\ekonsole\ekonsole.sh and replace
the line
export SHELL="/bin/bash"
with
export SHELL="/mmc/mmca1/bin/bash2"
(Note: copy the ekonsole.sh to desktop, edit it and copy back to phone, i tried editing the file on phone directly and it turned 0 byte on save)

cheers

This doesn't work for me

eKonsole doesn't start.

Should I do the "mount --bind mmc/mmca1/bin/bash2 /bin/bash"?

The bash2 file is ok? Could it help renaming it to "bash" only?

Are those commands the ones that are listed here? http://www.ss64.com/bash/

Can I uninstall this if I don't like it?

Oh yes,one more question,can i mess something up in my phone with this tool?

i don't know much about linux but you can try these things if you can telnet to u'r beloved A1200
Start a telnet session and then
1. back up all the files in /ezxlocal/home/root
2. copy the attached files in root.zip to your /ezxlocal/home/root folder
3. at console run these commands
chown -R root:root /ezxlocal/home/root
export HOME=/ezxlocal/home/root
chmod go-rwX /ezxlocal/home/*

IMP: if you use SSHD then DON'T replace your .ssh folder and files within the root folder with mine, leave those alone

4. assuming you have copied the bash2 binary to /mmc/mmca1/bin/, type /mmca/mmca1/bin/bash2

also bash2 should have permissions like this
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 618468 Apr 16 16:48 bash2

if you don't get any errors then bash2 works, try out "ls /etc" and you should see dir listing in color!

and about eKosole, iam not sure but it could be your config file, attached is my config file for some pointers.

BTW what firmware do u use?
and hope I've not confused you by now.
