Debian with Xqt, Running Debian(complete) & Qtopia Options

[smuelas]

Thanks, adf,

OK, just tried what you suggested....
However, no go...online that is...

I get message at bottom of Dillo browser window:

CODE

ERROR: Dns can't solve www.google.com

I do see a little tiny black square in lower right corner of iceWM statusbar at bottom of
my display that 'pulsates' graphically when it's trying to connect, before I get error message.

I am connected to net in Qtopia and I did copy over that resolv.conf file before.....

Thanks,

Mark


Have you written the DNS you are using, once in Debian, in /etc/resolv.conf ?
It seems, this should be your problem, althought I must say that I've never tried (nor touched) a C-3000... :-(

be root in the xqt rxvt

do chrooot

load icewm

minimize rxvt
opn a new terminal
su -- just to be safe

make sure you have a connection... fire up dillo..surf for a bit just to be sure

now apt-get

[ArchiMark]

No, I just copied over that file from /etc/resolv.conf to /mnt/card/debroot/etc...

Will do that now...

Thanks, smuelas!

out of curiosity... copying resolv.conf over has always done precisely that... copied in the dns in use..
ideas why it didn't work here?

i would like to thank you all, i've installed the xqt after having read all this thread and it worked straight forward. no stress, no freeze, runs like a charm, really impressed by the speed (installed 128 swap)

but, (yes there is a but ) i have a little pb.
i cant start any application witin the icewm when clicked. the solution is to launch it from the console, being root.

is there anything to add to solve that?
another thing i didn't managed , is the toolbar, i read somewhere i had to ad a line with
"toolbarattop=1". or i didnt put it into the good place ; or i missed something. could you please help?
merci

I believe it is case sensitive.

[Meanie]

[rip]

i assume you are talking about this part of your huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge webpage

"
After you have installed Firefox, you need to start X-Qt and then start firefox from a terminal to create an initial profile. However, it will partially fail because the zaurus user does not have sufficient priviledges. From within a terminal type:

# firefox


Firefox will start and terminate. That's ok. Now run firefox again as root.

# su
# firefox


Exit from Firefox and continue to do the following:

# cp -R /home/root/.mozilla/profiles/default.*/* /home/zaurus/.mozilla/profiles/default.*/
# chown -R zaurus /home/zaurus/.mozilla
"
so i'll have to do that for all app i have to start?

not at all. you only need to do this for firefox (this is because of a bug in firefox
alternatively, you could run firefox as root all the time and don't worry about it, but it would be less secure.

excuse me but i don't understand, if this one is just for firefox, i didn't found the info you are talking about.

sorry

Hi, Firefox runs like any other application. The problem seems to be the fact that usually, one works in Linux as a "normal" user. In the "standard" way of using Xqt-Debian, one runs as root. Theoretically, this can be dangerous if some "bad-boy-hacker" wants to go into your Zaurus trough the net.
Personally, I have no special secrets on my Zaurus and always make a systematic backup of my micro-drive. I have some doubts about the advantage of creating an user, duplicating all the system files in my home, change all the time from SU to User...etc.

Could someone help me connect my wireless card with debian?

I have the same problem as ArchiMark. I cannot get connected. I edited resolv.conf with : nameserver (then my dns numbers).

It still does not work?

I am running cacko 3kb1, C3000, x/qt debian on hdd3 with loop and swap, per meanie's site, asus wireless card.

Thanks.

Helllo,
on my zaurus 750 with cacko 1.22 rom i installed Xqt from cacko feed
also downloaded debian pocketworkstation,
chrooted and perform apt-get update and dist-upgrade

now some notices.
chrooted system frequently requiring mounted proc system - probably i have to solve this before chrooting
good example is in gentoo alternaive install guide

second - icewm and icewm-session starting and i only get decoration for my rxvt. i still must start applications from rxvt
i do not have taskbar and cannot switch between opened applications
btw - to work well, after chroot i have to do su - root

firefox do not present in debian testing!!! and downloaded from pdaxrom or xqt related pages do not starting- it want .mozilla in hojme directory

please if anyone can help me- how i can first get taskbar and install mozilla?

Hello all,

I think I have a problem with X/Qt. I installed all as smuelas suggested, but the Start X button just starts and finishes without starting rxvt. Has anyone some tips?

Yours, Peter
