I'm trying to opkg install humidify but it's erroring

humax# opkg install humidify
Unknown package 'humidify'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package humidify.
* opkg_finalize_intercepts: Failed to open dir : No such file or directory.
* rm_r: Failed to open dir : No such file or directory.
* rm_r: Failed to open dir : No such file or directory.
humax#

I have tried the following also as the device doesn't have an internal HDD

Plugged in USB created dir on the stick called /mod

I notice that the root /mod links to the usb location

still it failed with the same error

I then tried


humax# opkg install humidify --tmp-dir /media/drive1/test
Unknown package 'humidify'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_conf_set_option: Duplicate option tmp_dir, using first seen value "/medi
a/drive1/test".
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package humidify.
* opkg_finalize_intercepts: Failed to open dir : No such file or directory.
* rm_r: Failed to open dir : No such file or directory.
* rm_r: Failed to open dir : No such file or directory.
humax#


so maybe the package name is wrong or doesn't exist ?

humax# opkg list
Collected errors:
* rm_r: Failed to open dir : No such file or directory.
humax#


I'm now thinking the application is missing something . . . . . . . . .

anyone able to assist me ?
 
Run 'opkg update' first to retrieve the package list and build the initial database.
 
humax# opkg update
wget: can't open : Read-only file system

humax# opkg update -t /media/drive1/test/

This is an HD, so no filesystem check options from the menu.

@tjbradford - What do you see if you point a web browser at the IP address of your Humax?

From what you've posted, it looks like the USB stick isn't formatted with EXT2.
 
(Ref post 7) I'm sure somebody whose first post on the forum is about opkg and humidify can work that out without too much prompting.
