debian repos for host-pc-connectivity don't work?

Mar 28, 2012, 9:58 AM

Post #1 of 7 (2370 views)

I am trying to install on my Debian laptop the package
host-pc-connectivity as described on the web-page
"http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/node3.html#SECTION00032100000000000000"
I included the string " deb
http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/repository intrepid main" in my
/etc/apt/sources.list and maked command "aptitude update".
After that I had the next result:
Err http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org intrepid/main amd64 Packages

404 Not Found
As I can see the deb- and others packages of "host-pc-connectivity"
avialable on here: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=801
How can I fix the above record for sources.list for using "aptitude" or
"apt"? Or I need to download the deb-package and make "dpkg -i"? Which
package I need to install in the last case - the latest?
Where can I get the signatures which used for signing that package?

Strange. I can open http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/repository/
in my browser. Why the aptitude cannot find it?

There are no packages for amd64, just for i386.

Is it possible to install them to my architecture? Will they work correct?

You're trying to install 32bit ubuntu packages on a (presumably more modern)
64bit debian. I have my doubts whether it can work at all, especially since
multiarch isn't too well supported in debian yet.
You may have better luck installing a 32bit Ubuntu Intrepid in a VM and doing
the connectivity stuff there. (I haven't tried the PC connectivity stuff, so I
don't know how useful that would be.)

As I can see there are some instructions for manually configuring linux
systems. It seems that it is more simple than using 'host-pc-connectivity'
But there are only instructions for Ubuntu.
There is no file /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules in my Debian
Squeeze AMD64 system.
But as I can see - another file contains similar (but not the same) strings:
> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan1"
(real MACs was changed to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for security reasons).
Do I need to change that records or I need to create
'/etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules' with indicated in the
documentation records?

Without actually knowing what you're trying to do, the safest option might be
to create your own rules file (something like
/etc/udev/rules.d/85-host-pc-connectivity.rules) and put whatever needs to be
added in there.
