CL860 suspend issues:

issue 2: using the metal power button on the side of the unit to resume from suspend wakes the Z for half a second and then resuspends repeatable ad infinitum.
Using the keyboard "home" power button is the only way to wake the zaurus completely.

Otherwise great work! I will be donating as soon as I get some money !

fwiw: I had suspend issues similar to this on my c1000. They went away when I got a swap partition going.

I read this topic closly but didn't find how make my CF cards work.
pxa2xx_cs, ide_cs, dtl1_cs modules loaded.
I did pccardctl insert and then pccardctl info
Nothing
lspcmcia show nothing.
I tried CF memory and CF Socket BT
Who can explain me how can I make CF work?
Thank you.

Make sure you always mention what model you're using

Where can I get 2.6.28 for sl-750 with kexec?
Thank you.

I have a Zaurus C=860.

I put on the first partition of the SD card (which has the first partition as ext2 - I did sudo mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1 after creating this partition - and the second partition as linux-swap) the files extracted (i..e. untarred & unzipped using my laptop's Ubuntu Extractor) from the zubuntu-desktop root file system. I then copied the extracted files from the appropriate root-addition archive to the extracted zubuntu-desktop directories on my laptop (i.e. the 3 files from the root-addition /boot directory to the zubuntu-desktop /boot directory and the 2.6.26 directory & its files from the root-addition /lib/modules directory to the zubuntu-desktop /lib/modules directory). I copied the resultant file structure to the SD card's first partition.

I flashed the multiboot kernel OK - using a CF card as I presumed that I wouldn't need to do it again. I got the Omegamoon screen showing the Zubuntu 1.0 distro (as per the instructions). I selected Zubuntu 1.0. The SD card was recognised there was a message 'VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly' and a message stating 'Freeing init memory 84K). Then there was a message 'Warning: unable to open an initial console' and the Zaurus froze.

Help please!

By the way, people reporting that detection of the NAND partitions takes extremely long during booting, try erasing or re-flashing the NAND, this solves this problem.

Thanks Cortez for all that you have done with zubuntu. It is working well for me.

I tried re-flashing NAND (with the kexec kernel) and still get a long partition detection time. There are several parts to the NAND. Which would I erase if I wanted to shorten the NAND detection time?

I had the same problem with slow probing flash and solved it by installing mtd-utils_1.1.0+git-r1_arm.deb (from "Running Zubuntu from internal flash" blog post) and using command flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2 and /dev/mtd3 (default root and home partitions for Sharp ROM). I don't know if you use those partitions for anything, so take care .

I finally got sound working on the 860, bit hit and miss but...
changed the line in /etc/modules to

CODE

snd-soc-corgi

rebooted.
ran alsamixer and set the following

CODE

Master          85%
Master P        MUTE
Sidetone        0%
Mic Boos        MUTE
Playback        None
Capture         MUTE
ADC High        MUTE
Input Mu        Mic
Jack Fun        Headphone
Output M        UNMUTED
Output M        MUTE
Speaker         Off
Store DC        MUTE

where
the names are truncated as in the display, wich is why "Output M" appears twice
MUTE is [MM] and UNMUTED is [00] changed using the 'm' key
Use the up and down arrows to change all other functions/values
You can turn "Speaker" to "On" as required.

Thanks. Reboots in no time.

newbie worry: in looking up flash_eraseall I saw something about maybe including the -j option. I didn't and hope this was ok.

anyone has ever tried to use Planex GW-CF11H ( a prism3 card) on Zubuntu?

Do I need any specific drivers and settings on my C3200?

I'm a newbie and any help would be great :-)

remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
you should have
blacklist orinoco
blacklist orinoco_cs
blacklist hermes

then reboot, if iwconfig outputs an eth0 interface instead of a wlan0 interface
delete those modules: in /lib/modules/2.6.26-omegamoon.../kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco* and then hermes*
and reboot
then iwconfig should return wlan0, if nothing is returned, do a modprobe hostap_cs if module is not present in lsmod
then just add to /etc/network/interfaces

allow-hotplug wlan0

#use this config if WEP
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_essid ACCESS_POINT_NAME
wireless_mode managed
wireless_key PASSWORD

#use this config if WPA
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-ssid ACCESS_POINT_NAME
wpa-psk PASSWORD
address 10.0.0.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1

use dhcp or static, just merge the configuration that fits you
then
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0

i don't know if firmware loads are required, i don't need it, my card fw are:
PRI: 1.1.0
STA: 1.7.4

Thanks same, finally I can get my 3200 wifi on with Zubuntu.

However, I notice it can't get online if the ssid is hidden (not broadcast)...

Anyway, does anyone ever able to get sound on 3100 or 3200?

Help please!

I'd try redownloading the files and extracting from the command line:

CODE

cd sd-mount-point
tar -xvpf zubuntu-tarball.tar.bz2

To get sound going, run alsamixer and unmute all channels. This should do the trick
