Pdaxqtrom & Apps, Started new thread Options

[Jon_J]

I hope nobody minds me starting a dedicated thread for pdaXqtrom.
I thought it would be easier to search.

Meanie has posted information about pdaXqtrom here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16209
and here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18789

BTW, Thank you Meanie for such a comprehensive package.

I'm not an experienced Linux user, so many of the applications in the apps package are foreign to me.
I'm using the cramfs versions.
I installed pdaXqtrom 1.1.0 - beta 0.7.5 first all by itself.
Then later decided to install pdaXqtApps - beta 0.7.5
I have this installed to a 128MB Lexar SD card formatted as ext2
I haven't installed zgcc2-95-2
I have a couple questions, and observations to list.
I use Cacko Lite 1.23 on my C3100
I enabled a 128MB swapfile in Cacko.

Do I need the automounter? I assumed it is already installed by Cacko.
I have 2 mount points shown in console for the two packages that I installed.

Has the libfloat problem mentioned here been addressed?
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...ndpost&p=124465

I tried to launch Abiword from the X/Qt tab in Qtopia and it only launches X/Qt, but not Abiword.
So far, I've been able to launch Dillo and GQview.
(I can launch these from X/Qt and from Qtopia)
GQview doesn't seem to be able to "see" my picture files in any of my directories on my FAT formatted /hdd3.
Is the problem with GQview related to my FAT formatted drive? It shows the directory structure, but no files.
I haven't tried any other applications yet, but will add more to this post later.
Below is the output from console during the install process.
pdaXqtrom-base was already installed. This is from when I installed pdaXqtrom-apps.

freebird, download it again. My copy is 35.6MB (cramfs ver)

Meanie, the new version is squashfs.
I haven't used the zgcc2-95-2 on my Zaurus, but now with the new squashfs version, will zgcc2-95-2.cramfs work with it?
There doesn't seem to be a zgcc2-95-2.squashfs available now.

I installed the new version to my hard drive /hdd3/xqt
It seems to run fine this way. Now I don't need to always have a card inserted. (I can leave my Picsel card in the slot).
I have a couple questions.
Install said I have an older version of automounter installed.
I do have automounter 0.4.7 installed, but there seem to be two versions of this version.
One is dated March 1 (3/1/06)
One is dated April 1 (4/1/06)
I just downloaded the latest version, automounter-c3000_0.4.7_arm.zip (4/1/06)
I'm afraid to uninstall the old version, so I can install the new one.
(Uninstalling it broke my cacko automount, the last time I uninstalled it)
How can I just copy the new binaries over the old ones? (There isn't a tar.gz inside the IPK)
I may not need the new version installed, since the version I have now, seems to work at the moment.

What is the X/QT embedded icon used for? It launches a gray screen, with no right-clickable options.
I didn't download the new pdaXqtrom-apps.squashfs yet. My connection got dropped in last night's storm.
I'll download it later tonight.
Since I have a basically clean install, can I install just any pdaXrom app from the pdaXrom feeds?
I would like to try some of the games compiled for pdaXrom.
Thank you,
Jobn

you can mix the cramfs/squashfs files. it does not matter as long as you have one of them. the main difference between them is the size. the content is the same as long as you have the same version of the cramfs/squashfs image of course . each image has a version script. just cd to the mounted image and do a ./version - the current version is beta 0.7.6

the X/Qt embedded icon is just like the X/Qt Server icon. don't click on it but also don't remove it either. both are needed for launching the apps. the icon you see on the taskbar when X/Qt is running is taken from those two depending on which it is running in.
yes, you can install the apps. I tried to clean them up, but I got tired and might have missed cleaning a few of them so you might need to tweak them a bit after installation, ie run the mkqticon script.
i also just compiled the latest grisbi 0.5.8 so its not available on the apps image yet but you can add it by simply installing the ipk file once I upload it
