Unable to mount /dev/app/1 [solution]

[garbas]

ok my problem is about mounting

Unable to mount /dev/app/1

If you have this problem, then please
- post what exact Knoppix/Kanotix version you are using
- try Kanotix 2005-01 from Live CD; this one is known to work
- try to mount by hand: su ; mount ~/Desktop/XXX.cmg /mnt/test -o loop -t cramfs ; /mnt/test/wrapper
- or unpack the cmg: cramfsck -x ~/Desktop/XXX.cmg /opt/XXX ; /opt/XXX/wrapper

Who wants me help to fix the code in ~/.zAppRun to remove the problem?

EDIT: replacing"auto" by "cramfs,iso9660" in the /mnt/app lines in /etc/fstab does the trick

ups, sorry i didn't read the documentation of klik carefuly.

i am using kubuntu and kubuntu is not in the list of supported distributions

Hi
I'm also using Unbuntu 5.04 and getting exactly the same problem. I also have KDE installed on this setup.
I also had problems trying to use Klik with Kanotix 2005.2 and Xandros 3 Deluxe but slightly different.
Shame I could do with Klik.

Sure, it should be possible to adopt it for (K)ubuntu. Please try to hand-mount one of the small cmg files (e.g., klik://xvier). If that works, you could try to adapt ~/.zAppRun so that it works on ubuntu. Probably we will need to use the -t option of the mount command.

In the meantime, you can unpack the cmg files to directories, that should work in Ubuntu too.

Hi

Not sure if I'm doing this correct as I'm a bit new to Linux.

I tried (in root console):
# su ; mount ~/Desktop/nvu.cmg /mnt/test -o loop -t cramfs ; /mnt/test/wrapper
with no complaint. Then clicked nvu on my desktop and got same err 'Unable to mount /mnt/app/1'.

Then tried;
# cramfsck -x ~/Desktop/nvu.cmg /opt/nvu ; /opt/nvu/wrapper
cramfsck: stat failed: /opt/nvu: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/nvu/wrapper: No such file or directory
# mkdir /opt/nvu
# mkdir /opt/nvu/wrapper
# cramfsck -x ~/Desktop/nvu.cmg /opt/nvu ; /opt/nvu/wrapper
cramfsck: not a block device or file: /opt/nvu
bash: /opt/nvu/wrapper: is a directory

still no good.

I love you to fix the code in ~/.zAppRun. And give me good reason to stick with Linux.

Replacing"auto" by "cramfs,iso9660" in the /mnt/app lines in /etc/fstab should do the trick. This is fixed in the client installer now.

I just did a "fresh" install of Kanotix 2005-1 and got this error when I loaded the "Klik" page in Mozilla (1.0.3). I checked my /etc/fstab file and there aren't any /mnt/app lines.

What's wierd is that this is the second time I've HD installed Kanotix and the first time Klik worked fine... but now it doesn't... any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul

EDIT: After taking a second look at the site, I think the red text at the top of the intro web page is just a note to users? If so, you should reformat it so it doesn't look like an "error message".
