joggler: error running apt-get

[Esperanto]

I am running apt-get commands as instructed on the wiki to install the joggler but I keep getting this error:

anybody knows how to solve this?

Which part specifically is giving that issue? Did you replace the sources.list as instructed? Are you running the commands as root?

Cheers,

It does it all the time now when running apt. I replaced all the sources and besides this error it seems to work. (still seeing the mousecursor though). Only this error is annoying because it shows on everything that gets installed.

Otherwise everything is working as it should?

A quick google points towards possible issues with the plymouth modules, so you could try removing those (obviously I have no idea whether this is safe in this situation, do so at your own risk, but from what I understand it's to do with splashscreens).

The module r8169 refers to your network, so I don't know if that gives you any clues. Are you using your joggler wireless or wired?

Cheers,
Matt.

I am using it wired.

Just doing the update, upgrade and installation of the packages give me this error. It is trying to change create a symbolic link on the /boot partition that mount shows is vfat:

/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type vfat (rw)

which does not support symbolic links I suppose.

Is yours also vfat?
How to prevent it trying to create that link?

But besides this it seems to work.

[purps]

I really don't know, if it would be helpful I can check to see if it's vfat, but you'll have to tell me how.

Cheers,
Matt.

just type 'mount' on the joggler and it will show you the mounts it's having.
