Apps :: Cannot install myDSL extensions w/ mydslPanel.lua



I'm trying to install mydsl extensions from a remote system using display export.

I have the XServer from cygwin ... with xhost + ... and my firewall behaves.

On the DSL server:
Code Sample

nasman@0$ su dsl
Password:

dsl@nas$ export DISPLAY='192.168.26.3:0.0'
dsl@nas$ echo $DISPLAY
192.168.26.3:0.0

dsl@nas$ /usr/bin/mydslPanel.lua

Results: /share/Kituri/linux/mydsl_extensions/gcc1-with-libs.dsl
/bin/lua: /usr/bin/mydslPanel.lua:26: bad argument #1 to 'output' (.mydsl: Permission denied)
stack traceback:
       [C]: in function 'output'
       /usr/bin/mydslPanel.lua:26: in function </usr/bin/mydslPanel.lua:9>
       [C]: in function 'run'
       /usr/bin/mydslPanel.lua:63: in main chunk
       [C]: ?
dsl@nas$


Additional info:
- I don't have a video card on the system (plugged one in when I installed)
- I was able to install some stuff when I was logged in w/ graphic mode on the system ... after I just installed
- don't really want to put the graphic card on just to install something.

Forgot to mention that MyDSL Extension Tool starts.
I click on Load Local.
Go to the dir where I downloaded the extension and select it.

Then the application crashes and spits the error I mentioned in the previous post.


If I try to use the application groups, I get another error:
Code Sample
wget: info.lst: Permission denied

but the application doesn't crash.

Is there a better way to install the extensions from command line ... is there a command line interface?

I think I tried mydsl-load but it didn't work.

What version of DSL?

Try `mydsl-load /share/Kituri/linux/mydsl_extensions/gcc1-with-libs.dsl`

If that doesn't work, what are the permissions on that file?

Command line options for mydsl:

You can use the full path on the command line to load a local extension.

mydsl-load /share/Kituri/linux/mydsl_extensions/gcc1-with-libs.dsl

You can use the command line to fetch, checksum, and load with

mydsl-load gcc1-with-libs.dsl system

The second argument is the repository section, i.e., system

Or if you just want download and checksum, but not load use:

mydsl-wget gcc1-with-libs.dsl system

Both mydsl-load & mydsl-wget use the server specified in /opt/.dslrc which is set by the Select Mirror gui or manual edit.

You should keep all your extensions in the mydsl/ directory and have proper permissons there.

Thanks,

Using mydsl-load worked ... I think it worked before but the I just called it without a parameter, and passed the path when prompted in the console
Since I didn't see any output ... I assumed it didn't work.

Wanted to add the info to the wiki ... but it seems that there was some info in there ...
