usb package install

[nabil_koi]

In gargoyle, USB device is automatically mounted. But why I can not install packages on it. I used the below command

gpkg install -d /dev/sda1 <package name>

It says
ERROR: No destination /dev/sda1 found, cannot install

ERROR: No destination /dev/sda1 found, cannot install

I think this means your USB device is not using the path /dev/sda1

Same problem here:

Code: Select all

> gpkg install -d /dev/sda1 <package name>
ERROR: No destination /dev/sda1 found, cannot install

> mount
/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noatime)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,size=14632k)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,noatime,size=512k,mode=755)

/dev/mtdblock4 on /overlay type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
overlayfs:/overlay on / type overlayfs (rw,noatime,lowerdir=/,upperdir=/overlay)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime)

/dev/sda1 is available and Gargoyle has mounted it automatically, but it still cannot be found by gpkg. I formatted it from the web interface and to try it i had Gargoyle even install plugins on the USB drive which worked without a hitch. But with gpkg, no go. Gargoyle is version 1.5.10.

it still cannot be found by gpkg. Gargoyle is version 1.5.10.

Try using opkg instead. Other threads have user report that says gpkg have problems.

Thanks, Eric. opkg worked after adding a destination for my USB device to opkg.conf. BTW, some good information here:
