Hi All
I've decided to try and learn abit about linux by using my dell C521 which I have installed 32 bit debian.
Debian is up and running but Im having problems getting oscam installed.
When I type this apt-update I get E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
root@debian:/home/chris
You are logged in as root as your text says? thats the only thing that could do that, else i never heard about that error before, looks wierd :/
Else ill try to reinstall the box with the newest wheezy dist.
normally you'll be logged in as whatever user you created for yourself, so you'll need either to su to root, or run sudo apt-get update to update your package list, and then sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade packages. I dont know if there is a repository for oscam (I'm normally compiling myself), but if you have that repository installed (entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, something like oscam.list), you can run apt-cache search oscam to get the package name, and then sudo apt-get install oscamXXX or whatver the particular package that you want....
I rebooted the system and then the apt-upgrade worked ok and I get 7.3 when I type cat /etc/debian_version
But when I go to the next stage and type apt-get install build-essential
I get
Need to get 0 B/33.0 MB of archives.
After this operation, 86.8 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
your apt-get isnt using a Repositorie it trys to install from your install disk.Check your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Should look something like this (this is for debian wheezy)
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
any lines with deb cdrom: should look like this #deb cdrom:
The # disables whats after.
root@debian:/home/chris2005# /etc/apt/sources.list
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
root@debian:/home/chris2005#
If I type this I get the list but cant edit
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Do you have an editor installed ? ge edit - for example !
have you tried to FTP the file and edit it ? permissions might need changing.
Hi
Used nano editor and all sorted
Getting there slowly
Trying to install oscam but getting this message
root@debian:/usr/src# cd /usr/src
root@debian:/usr/src# svn co http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/trunk oscam
cd oscam
cmake -DWEBIF=1 -DPCSC=1
make

Try simplebuild script m8. It is (as the name suggests) simple & It will install all required packages..

NOTE: This will just compile oscam, why dont you use an auto install script to setup oscam with check scripts etc??

Hi Thatfellow
The tutorial is absolutely great.
I have got down to sectiom 3 now and am a bit unsure what to do next .
Do I skip that part and move onto webif?
When I got to section 3 everything was as shown but I went away for ten minutes and had to log back into debian, but when I logged in everything was froze and had to reboot.
How do I get back to where I was previously with the streamboard screen showing?
Ok can open simple build by typing cd /opt/simplebuild
./simplebuild menu
I have extracted the url to desktop for webif but dont no how to FTP the file to simple build root
If you was sucessful building oscam it will be in /opt/simplebuild/archive.It will be named something like "oscam-svn9437......"
Use winscp to renamne it to oscam and move it to /usr/local/bin.Just as shown in part 3 of the simplebuild tutorial.
The webif is used to connect to oscam from a pc via webbrowser.If your Debian server has ip 192.168.1.100 you just write 192.168.1.100:8080 in your webbrowser. when oscam is upp and running.Dont understand what url you have extracted to desktop.
The file is now transfered through winscp
Checking to see if things are ok with oscam now with the file in place I've typed root@debian:/home/chris# /usr/local/bin/oscam –b
and get this message
