Since we only really support developer platform hosts with the tools ppa enabled, could we improve l-m-c to print a warning if that ppa isn't enabled?
The other idea I had was to include the working qemu-arm-static in the tarball releases ... in that way things might even work on non-ubuntu platform.
Well, given that Aneesh's original message mentioned he was downloading l-i-t directly from launchpad, my first thought was that he indeed wasn't running Ubuntu on the desktop. Aneesh, was this the case? What are you running on your desktop (distro, version)?
I am running Ubuntu Maverick on my desktop. However apt-get didn't work for linaro-image-tools. I got this message:
E: Couldn't find package linaro-image-tools
So, I downloaded it from launchpad as mentioned in the wiki.
Ok. Which wiki page did you look at? We should be directing maverick users to enable the linaro-maintainers/tools ppa, which includes both the linaro-image-tools and qemu-linaro packages.
I can find linaro-image-tools, but no qemu-linaro on maverick, and I added PPA.
https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/DailyBuilds#On%20Ubuntu%2010.10
Is there another wiki page with conflicting instructions that we need to clean up? Or did you read this and go for the download instead of the ppa (in which case we should clarify the text to direct people to the ppa more strongly)?
Adding the PPA should achieve the necessary thing.
qemu-linaro is the name of the source package: the generated binary packages you need are called qemu-kvm (from the main archive) and qemu-user-static (from the PPA). However, the dependencies for linaro-image-tools should pull these in automatically.
What's the exact problem you're seeing when trying to install?
What output do you get from apt-cache policy linaro-image-tools ?
