Linloader trouble on A780

[leopardus2]

Hello gurus,

I just discovered how to log into my Linux phones and started playing around.
I am currently running on an A780 and its file system structure looks somewhat
different from the E680.
Anyway, I am trying to make Linloader work on my phone.
After some fiddling (no .mtf files on A780, so I had to install the tar file byhand) at a certain point in time it was working, then it stopped right after I installed a Java app (MIDPssh).

I spent a couple hours trying to make it work again, to no avail.
What happens is simply that the lin_loader script doesn't get called by the app manager.
I am sure about that because there is no log entry in /tmp/run.log.

I tried zapping anything else (currently running with no other extra apps installed).
I created a loader folder under /diska/.system/QTDownLoad and it contains the two icons (who are correctly displayed) and the lin_loader script itself.
I also created (many times, deleted, re-edited, changed id's...) the
/ezxhome/download/appwriter/am/InstallDB file (I don't recall the exact path right now, but you got the idea) and currently only have LinLoader in there.

I have a ps.lin script under /diska that basically does ps -ef > /diska/psout.txt,
and I use that to see if LinLoader works.

Guess what, it doesn't and I really have no clues.

Anyone out there knows how the application manager works? I suspect that
it's just a matter of some stupid config file somewhere.

BTW not having a MMC card on this phone I just discarded the folder/files under
that folder in the LinLoader archive... the program was working fine without that
so I know it's not the culprit.

Any hints are GREATLY appreciated!

All the best,

Rick

try calling your ps.lin direct in telnet. it worked? if it work, then the icon should definately work

Problem solved!! I was using wordpad and therefore CR's all over...
now I switched to VIM

Thank you, your suggestion to call it from shell helped...
it was working first time I tried because at that time I used cat to create the script...
then I started using wordpad and things messed up...

Thanks again,

Rick

what do you mean its not working?

it creats no test.txt file. i tap on telnet-down.lin or theme installer.lin and nothing... i had the linloader uninstalled and new installed. and now i get no test.txt file. the installation of MACOSX E680I file stops also at the half. but in the folder QTdownloads i can find the files of macosx.
