In this case, the system cannot find the /etc/ folder because you didn't pass the correct --sysconfdir and it now searches in /usr/etc.

So a simple re-compile with those configure options should solve this issue with the desktop.

Thanks for the information. That's exactly what happened. I'll post a recompiled version on Monday.

The first post has been updated to fix the Settings bug.

Thanks, works like a charm (while I was at it I update to 1.02 as well, scribbling looks much usable now).

You da man! You da man!

Thank you for making our DR1000s so much cooler!

I've updated the attachments in the first post to support PressReader newspapers.

keng2000 · 12-17-2008, 08:48 AM

I'm not sure about the new update.
My FW is 1.03 already with Pressreader.
after update the newCTB, I can't read the old newspaper, it siad that "no support"
After restoring, everthing is OK.

Is there a way to get FBReader to be the default program to open .htm and .html files, please? The built in HTML support sucks in comparison.

Has anyone else tried the updated contentbrowser, and tried to open a newspaper? I can't reproduce this problem.

It's possible. But I don't want to manage multiple versions.

You can zip up your html file, so it has a .zip extension. FBReader should be able to open that directly from the content browser.

Works for me just fine - no problems.

No Problem here. I installed it after already having a number of newspaper on the DR1000

Here is a set of icons for FBreader matching the irex theme on DR1000.

I have problems with this, I install 1.03, reboot, then I install FBReader and I try a CHM that doesn't open, dr1000 doesnt do nothing, and with a RTF file i got "file cannot be opened, format is unknown"

Did you try to open from within FBReader? (use the "Book +" icon) to make sure the file itself is OK.

The DR1000 does not recognize those formats by default even with FBReader installed, thus the error message. And that's where the update in this thread comes in. Follow the instructions in Adam's first post exactly, esp. running the script after installing it to actually activate the update.
